General 128 might get me using Korg Gadget - maybe sequence a demo.īig picture, I’m feeling quite comfortable with my iPad rig these days and I think it’s rehearsal ready. In addition to Korg Module, the pack can be used in Korg Gadget Glasgow and as an AUv3 plug-in. For example, you wouldn’t use the oboe for an exposed solo, but it does add a reediness to a French horn producing a more WW section-like tone.Īllowing for the sound set limitations (i.e., one velocity layer), my favorite voices are the Acoustic Grand (warm), Electric Piano 1 (What’d I Say), Synth Strings 1 (warm, not too synthetic), French Horn (fanfare-ish), Bassoon (warm double reed), Flute (simple without devolving to Mellotron).Īt the introductory price, the General 128 expansion is a no-brainer. It’s much easier to layer up simple timbres than harmonically rich, dynamic sounds. This isn’t all bad! I stumbled onto Korg’s introductory sale while casting around for new voices to layer within Module. To my ears, most of the voices are very “uni-dimensional” single level multi-samples which just get softer or louder with touch. Having a small memory footprint, one shouldn’t expect many (any?) velocity-switched multi-samples. For example, throw a little tremolo on that electric piano. Once suitably dressed, individual voices are brought to life. The only real knock on voice quality is their rather plain sonics. As GM sound sets go, all of the voices are reasonably pleasant and usable enough. However, General 128 covers all of the bases, making Korg Module generally useful in a flash. Most of us will not sequence MIDI tunes using Korg Module. General 128 is one of those expansions where you say “Why didn’t they release this on Day One?” Essentially, General 128 is a 108MB General MIDI sound set minus drums. Korg have released a new expansion pack for Korg Module - General 128.
