Update via JM in the comments: "Might want to point out something from a comment on Korg's page: Songs made with the iElectribe R require "copyright clearance to publish".
That's a pretty significant issue. Perhaps the goal is to keep the Gorillaz' songs from being released as originals by unscrupulous users?"

The ELECTRIBE reborn in an even smaller form A full-fledged rhythm machine for iPhone
This app’s intuitive operation allows anyone to easily create powerful beats on the ELECTRIBE series. The enormously popular ELECTRIBE-R instantly became a must-have item for track-makers around the world, and now it’s been reborn as an app for iPhone.
With this app, we’ve effectively “put the original hardware chassis into your iPhone,” by faithfully reproducing the sound engine and design of the ELECTRIBE-R. We’ve also included the latest preset patterns and many new functions that are currently featured on the “iELECTRIBE for iPad”, released in 2010. , taking a further evolutionary step in technology. Taking advantage of the ease of use that you expect on iPhone, we have maximized the intuitive nature of the ELECTRIBE to make this new product worthy of its name: the iELECTRIBE mkII.
It won’t take long for you to enjoy the ultimate experience of the Electribe series. This apps intuitive nature and familiar interface make it easy to create beats with an analog feel that’s like nothing else.
● Amazing rhythm machine that generates powerful grooves
We’ve perfectly replicated the thick-sounding synth engine of the ELECTRIBE-R and its intuitive step sequencer. Now you can instantly obtain extreme tonal changes and powerful rhythms with just one touch
Not only can iELECTRIBE for iPhone be easily enjoyed by anyone, but it also allows detailed beat-making that transcends iPhone specs. In addition to playing back the provided audio data, you can also freely synthesize sounds from a single waveform and combine those sounds into your own original beats. This allows for the true experience of music production that connects all musicians.
● Three hundred built-in rhythm patterns that only this app can produce
With 64 of the latest preset patterns, 192 from the first-generation ELECTRIBE-R, and 32 template patterns for various genres, this app successfully draws out the full potential of the thick sounding analog beats. There are approximately 300 inimitable rhythm patterns that you’ll hear only from iELECTRIBE for iPhone. Electro, house, techno, drum'n'bass, dubstep, hip hop, techno pop, and IDM are some of the wide range of electronic music genres that are provided.
● An ELECTRIBE that you can put in your pocket and take anywhere
Whether you’re on the train or bus while commuting to school or to work, at a coffee shop, or in your bedroom, you can enjoy beat-making anywhere and anytime you like. Your completed beats can be transferred to your DAW software via the audio export function. You can also use the WIST function to play wirelessly with a friend using two devices simultaneously.
● Powerful functions that bring infinite possibilities to your grooves
We’ve packed maximum potential into this machine with eight types of powerful master effects featured on the upper-level models of the ELECTRIBE. This includes the ring modulation function of the ELECTRIBE-R and the cross-modulation function of the ELECTRIBE-R mkII. This app allows you to switch back and forth to choose between the two. It also includes the BEAT FLUTTER function that uses a proprietary randomizer to create fresh rhythms and the motion sequence function that remembers your knob movements. In addition, you can use an external USB-MIDI device such as the nanoPAD or nanoKONTROL for performance and control. There’s also support for the latest iOS technologies such as Inter-App Audio, Audiobus, Virtual MIDI, and iCloud.
● Operating Requirements
OS: iOS 8 or later
Device: iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5, iPod touch fifth-generation, iPod touch sixth-generation
*Because of differences in screen resolution between models of iPhone, the display is smaller on the iPhone 4s. For the best experience, we recommend using iPhone 5 or later."

"Trying to replicate a Korg iElectribe pattern with the Korg Electribe ER-1, using almost the same settings on both. The kick drum is the most different sound. There is no way to make the same kick sound with subtle adjustments. The kick drum is always more "punchy" on the ER-1. The other sounds are very similar.
The iElectribe for iPad was inspired on the Electribe R-1, but it offers many exclusive features: more effects, cross modulation (great for FM sounds and available on Electribe ER-1 MKII), virtual tube distortion and the possibility to choose which parts are processed by the selected fx.

O iElectribe foi inspirado no Electribe ER-1, mas apresenta vários recursos exclusivos, mais efeitos, cross modulation, dirstorção de válvula virtual e a possibilidade de escolher quais partes são afetadas pelo processador de efeitos.

Version 1.6 now available. This free upgrade offers great new features such as "Audiobus" for streaming of audio between apps, iCloud backup, Retina display support, and Virtual MIDI for MIDI communication between iOS music creation apps. Also includes a Korg's new Beat Flutter mode, which allows you to vary patterns in real time and at random for further creative inspiration!
"I just created a controller template for Korg’s iElectribe on iPad, an 8-part digital drum synth with FX. This allows the 8 MIDI tracks to individually control and sequence all 8 sounds in the app. Every channel is mapped to edit Pitch, Mod Depth, Mod Speed, Decay, Level, and Pan of each sound, plus there are global controls for the FX, Tube Gain, Accent Volume, and Master Volume embedded in tracks A-C. There are quite a few other CCs available but I felt they were most efficiently accessed from the iPad because a lot of them only respond to 2-8 different values, which would be cumbersome on the Digitakt.
You’ll need some kind of SysEx transfer utility such as C6 for desktop, or SysEx Base for iPad (highly recommended).
Inside the zip you’ll find four files:
iElectribe Init - blank pattern with values centered or zeroed
iElectribe Demo - quick demo pattern using the CCs to create a “virtual patch” and sequence
iElectribe Map - image of the control map for each MIDI channel
Readme - just a note with my PayPal address in case you feel like sending me a donation 😀
"What's New in Version 1.2.0 - iELECTRIBE can now be played using external USB-MIDI devices - An Auto Restore function has been added which enables the last edit status to be automatically restored - A Backup function has been added that enables you to make backups of pattern data - Now compatible with iOS 4.3 - A few minor bugs have also been addressed, improving operational stability Please see the "Changes in Version Up" at the online help for details. http://www.korguser.net/ielectribe"
Side Note: I'm finding that I'm not using the soft synth label on these. I don't use them for hardware VA synths, only PC software. When I see and play the iElectribe it feels like hardware.
