The iElectribe Gorillaz Edition is an app for iPad and other iOS devices developed by KorgW released in 2011, coinciding with the release of the band's fourth studio album The Fall, which allows users to create remixes using stems from the album and other Gorillaz songs and singles, such as Doncamatic.
It includes a total of 128 Gorillaz sounds on the synthesizer engine and 64 Gorillaz grooves, 32 which are ready-to-use pre-programmed patterns from The Fall to be mixed on the game, and 32 remixes and remix patterns created exclusively for the app, which were designed and developed by Stephen Sedgwick, co-producer of The Fall, as well as Gorillaz and Korg's own sound teams. The 32 remixes built-in from the app were later featured on the fan-made compilation album iSides.
