ErrkaPetti

Bought two of the three new soundgadget in Korg Gadget v.2.50...

Korg Inc. have today an impressive catalogue of apps and hardware to ours beloved iOS iPads and iPhones!

I like Korgs progression forward, and, the decision to also include Korg Module as an universl app...

Kisses & hugs to all hardworking Korg staff from me in Sweden!

I'm away from my iPad. How is the Kamata different than Kingston?

It's a wavetable synth. You can actually play melodies. But I am completely immune to and baffled by the current vogue for chip tune synth sounds.

Cool, thanks. The question was silly, as in buying all the IAP's anyway. Love that app!

Do you have module? Seems expensive for what seems to be just a pretty good piano sound?

Why three threads for gadget? I mean gadget is good but that good?

Tritonman

Oops never mind just two gadget threads now, the other one Is something else entirely.

kobamoto

does gadget have link now?.... if so that means it goes down to 20 bpm?

kobamoto

I don't get it either, but not getting it will upset my OCD sense of completeism. HELP

It's more than that good... If all music app developers on iPad could be like Korg, it would be the musician paradise !

Amazing update. I love all of it but mostly the Kamata and the side chaining.

Respect to Kamata but I spent years trying to run away from that sound.

Agree. As much as I enjoyed my NHL 94 on Sega Genesis, I don't need my music to sound like it.

But is module worth it? Do they exist outside Gadget?

I get that. Most of those arcade soundtracks sound super cheesy, I do have some nostalgia love for it but I don't think I'll be recreating the genre. I like the sound though. It's basically a cool new retro synth.

It is called a portfolio investment.

You must buy up all the eggs in that Gadget basket.

I'm almost sh*ting in my pants regarding the new Korg/Namco Gadget.

It's so fully automate-able it's crazy. I mean create a pattern and then record the drawing and selecting of waves in realtime and everything is automated without blinking. To maximise the effect set Gadgets tempo to slowest possible (20BPM) and start recording the wave-drawing/selection and then speed it up once recording is done

I'm still hoping the rest of the Gadget onscreen keyboards get vertical-velocity just like Madrid.

Korg are really on top of their game with maintaining Gadget; seen some really nice additions in the last few months. Without audio tracks, the realistic gadgets (acoustic drums and basses) feel a bit out of place for me, but the new insert FX are great. Was one of the few things I felt was missing. So well done Korg!

firejan82

Yes the handling of velocity in Madrid would be nice for other Gadgets too and also some version of it for the drum pad ones.

Samu

I have a feeling we'll see more of the effects added as IFX options. I'd love to drive Phoenix thru classic ensemble chours as an example...

thelongrays

Have they managed to include proper project sharing yet, so that I can collaborate with other musicians ?
Or is it still export to audio.

Tritonman

Please merge threads , not bad reading logged in on the iPad but two threads this long are murder on the PC where I scroll endlessly to get to the last page

I fully agree... Korg Gadget is by far the most satisfying iOS music software in terms of ease of use, fun I have and updates by the devs...
If only they would add Auditracks or a proper sampler, I guess I could then delete most of the other apps on my iPad. Strangely, I have to admit that I would love to make music in a closed Korg Gadget environment if I had the opportunity to add audiotracks to record vocals and instruments in Gadget.

Hmmm...Just updated Module, and the Mellow Tape pack was offered free...

Yes that's exactly what is stated in the Korg release note on their website...

Cliffy

Well then thank you Korg! The sounds are actually quite nice.

Free is Good...
I also got the Wurly pack for free when it was introduced

Super, smashing, great !

I'm digging the track fx indeed. Any thoughts on the new drum gadget versus London ? And the new bass one ? Can't say I'm too excited about the chiptune one, but each to their own.
