Korg Gadget wish list

stormywaterz

An AU gadget would be most awesome and AU fx to. That would prob make gadget my most used app if that happened.

I would love this, I doubt that Korg will do it, but I’d love to be surprised!

Double tap a control to reset it to its default value please

God yes, and manual entry of values too, or at least, for christ's sake, SOME way to enter eg. +12 semitones without spending five minutes getting close, closer, closer, and then somehow way overshooting, repeat ad nauseam.

Just in case you don’t know about the ‘flick’ gesture... Try flicking the knobs! It was a game changer for me. Fine tuning on most things Korg. Not quite everything, but most things.

I’d like apesoft/Amazing Noises knobs on everything, really.

Nothing... it’s perfect.

Allow sampling from audiobus.

When you click function and open all the clips copy and paste functions; I would like if each clip had a simple fade in/fade out function.

A simple request: Add the "beats / bars / time" counter from the Mac version - there's room and it's already there on the Mac.

Oh, and Audio in via AudioBus

Let's face truth ...

1/ Korg is not reading this forum
2/ Korg is even not reading (or at least not reacting) on any feature requests on their official facebook pages and forums

It is completely wasting of time to compile some feature lists, Korg doesn't hear customers, Korg adds just features which for them looks like good marketing move which can earn more money.

AUv3? IAA ? Audiobus ?

Definitely not, they know that opening platform for external plugins means less revenue from they internal build in plugins ...

MIDI out and other stuff ? Probably one day .. But they can earn lot more money by porting Gadget to other HW platform so i guess they will invest dev money rather to this ..

Absolutely true. I wonder why they ignore their customers. It does not seem to be a sensible strategy on the face of it- but they have persisted with it for many years- and they are still here. Maybe it’s something to do with the competition.

AlvinGreen

Not that I totally want it, but I'm surprised theirs no guitar/ string gadget. I know they have the Audio recorders but the more "real Insgrument" based gadgets; Gladstone and Madrid are two of the best sounding. Could be cool to quickly add some guitar chords or notes with a few built in effects.

Too bad it's such a walled garden. I love the layout of a bunch of synths on the bottom of the screen and the piano rolls above them. I come up with song ideas so much more quickly in it than other apps. And I really like the sound of their synths. Maybe I should accept it for what it is and treat it as a sketchpad, as well as something to create loops on to export to a DAW.

I don't know but for me the stability and ease of use provided by Gadget is unmatched on the iPad. Maybe it's precisely because they stick to what they know without trying to implement a bunch of user suggestions that Gadget is so great.

I'm pretty happy with where Gadget is at. If I want something a bit deeper I reach for Auria Pro or BM3 and if I want something even simpler I'll go for Groovebox. Gadget is a nice happy medium.

Never really gave it that much thought. Used to be, if you liked a piece of music gear, you bought it and used it. There was no constant whining about what it didn't do because it was what it was. Software, OTOH, evolves, so users get to provide their input, but Gadget is successful because it's good for those of us who like it. Maybe it's better because Korg makes it, not their customers.

Haha reading the Grooverider thread, I'm inclined to agree. But some requests are dead simple, longer sample time, file management, better audio editing and audio manipulation (i.e. no time-stretch in Zurich???), better sequencing and in-app navigation.

Of course it could be more than it is. My point was that Korg knows Gadget best, and I'd rather they make it in their vision and with their expertise.

I don't know anyone at Korg personally, but my guess is that the people there know as much as any customer would know about what an iOS app is potentially capable of, what a musician typically might want in an app like Gadget, what creates the most stable/reliable processes and optimal interfaces in apps on a range of various tablets and phones, and what they want to provide to make a profit. They must have their priorities, I'm sure, and why wouldn't they want to make the app as attractive to buyers as possible within the scope of the product they're selling? So a customer telling them they want better this or that is fine, but Korg has years of experience in the industry and must already know and have made decisions regarding those functions. Gadget keeps evolving, so we'll get whatever they decide to do whenever they decide to do it. Many of us users are happy with how its going and will continue to make music.

They removed the erase button when it went multi platform. I will never forgive them. However, Vancouver was a very kind gesture.

What about Recife and the Factory Bank B presets?

You’re right. Those were very nice indeed. Specially Recife

BlueGreenSpiral

Four more modules added to Tokyo drum synth so it has eight, first five of them are the kick.

[Deleted User]

Some cool boutique FX gadgets I think should come next, this could maybe come with Send/Return/Bus tracks

Also tap any clip to play anywhere like Launchpad.

Record session performance to an arrangement view like Ableton, or that exports to Ableton’s arrangement view

Maybe the Volca range as a gadget bundle

iELECTRIBE/iMS20/Poly6/Micro&Monologue etc as gadgies

They could milk it for years to come and still deliver great features

I wasn’t just talking about Gadget- if you look into it you will discover that Korg ignore pleas from their customers even when there is glaring OS flaws. I couldn’t tell Korg how to make a synth- but I can tell them (with a consensus) when one isn’t working- only to ignored.

Midi out would be tidy

I don't follow Korg PR, and I'm unaware of the non-specific issues you're referring to. It's possible they have a poor support mechanism and don't respond well to customer feedback, but I haven't had any particular problems with them myself. I'm only commenting on Korg and their development of Gadget.

It’s about time EXPORT to MASCHINE be a standard too. just saying.

Edit.. it’s such a pita to try and transfer those Ableton exports..

AudioGus

Kaoss Pad has been mentioned before... and now again.

MIDI MAPPING FOR CLIPS and SCENES

+1 for AUv3 hosting.

Ability to send MIDI out to other apps.. while in AUM

It takes more than that to to make a standard. Native Instruments hasn’t made any serious inroads for iOS compatibility, unlike Ableton.
