  • All of this Gadget excitement sent me back to im1 and I STILL struggle to save presets to the libraries to the point I think there must be a bug.....(I always presume anything I can't make work is broken; it rarely is).

    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 :D

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

    now you see why I always ask how low the bpm can go and any app with link is an automatic 20bpm

    Kraftfull Endorsement !

  • My Ipad Air 1 is heating up extremely in one corner of the IPad only a few minutes after i open the new Gadgets Madrid & Gladstone and use them together. This is not if i only load up the elder Gadgets.

    I also have annoying crackles alltime switching Presets in Madrid.

    Sounds are really great but these issues on my Air 1 makes them unusable for me atm.

    Indeed...

    Now I'm just hoping Korg will add non real-time 'step-recording' to Gadget because it's quite hard to fully automate Kamata in realtime. Meaning in step-recording set all wave-points to desired values, go to next step and adjust them again. Even at 20BPM it's next to impossible to re-draw all 32 4-bit samples and since each 'sample' has a separate controller drawing the waves using the automation editor is a tedious task. But even changing one sample over-time creates interesting animation in the sound unlike anything that is possible with other synths :)

    Some of the 'old' arcade games where this chip (Namco CUS30) was used also 'rotated' the wave-buffer(X and Y Axis) in realtime for some interesting almost 'organic' effects.

    Yah my Air1 has been a little more strained with the new FX and Gadgets, been having to freeze more tracks than normal, but thus is the path of progress. I just went out to get a usb3 lightning adapter so I can charge it while I use it. man, is that battery draining now!

    I have an Air 1 as well, and getting crackles in Madrid. I haven't noticed too much extra heat on mine, though. I wouldn't classify these as "unusable", though.

  • It's quite normal for at least the Air 2 to 'heat up' a bit when the CPU is used for more than casual web-browsing.
    For me the 'crackles' in Madrid and Glasgow are only there when switching presets and not during playback.

    I'm quite happy with Gadget for now.

    In case anyone wants to beat the 'high-score' in the game built-in in to Kamata it's wise to assign a controller to the data-knob. And well, the arpeggiator on high speeds makes the score go up pretty fast too :D

    Yeh, battery suck is pretty huge. Worth it though. I finally gave in after resisting Gadget until now. I can tell we're gonna have a long and happy marriage now, though. :)

    Step recording would be great. I for one will contact KORG to suggest this. Maybe others will to?

    Best train set a boy could have?

  • @Proppa said:

    What an immense design failure! Simply put the switch somewhere else. Also, while you’re at it, don’t rely on a bent piece of string. If you pull it, it won’t activate the switch, it’ll simply bend it around sideways even further, perhaps straightening out the kink yet not switching the light on, even after all that effort. That diagram is a lie. The light still is not on. Also, why is the top person red? Is she being electrocuted?

  • And look at the size of the bulb! Plus, just imagine the arm strength needed at the bottom row.

    Just merging Art Kerns to Korg, make him executive officer there. He will be in charge of step recording on your grid. How that sound, you should send Korg a recommendation letter to their forum. :*

    That would be very nice indeed :)

    The 'step-recording' I have in mind is to in record mode be able to manually step forward or back by the selected duration (1/16, 1/64 etc.). This would allow for very precise automation/editing of parameters per step and also enable adjusting multiple parameters per step at once. It would also be nice to 'scrub' the playhead to find the precise spot where editing needs to be done.

    For a Gadget like 'Kamata' this would mean that we could 're-draw' the complete wave-for per step.

    I know I'm a 'added features dreamer' :D

  • Well, they sucked me back in. I swore I wasn't coming back but here I am.

  • @JohnnyGoodyear After you save a preset to your iM1 library, remember to hit "close." Let me know if this helps...

  • I like how Kamata brings some PPG type tones to Gadget

    You're a brick Angela. Which -my sister told me when I was 12- is the highest form of praise for someone who's helped you out of a tight spot. Years later I figured out she meant a mensch, but all the same, thank you. I'm not convinced that hitting close was the whole story. I also changed the patch title to something entirely different (Angela, actually) and then closed and it worked....I understand how tribes so easily believed in uncertain magic. Perhaps we all do a shade beneath the surface...

    My iPad Mini 2 is struggling with just 3 Kamatas, 1 Madrid , 1 Gladstone, and a Darwin playing, anyone else seeing this? I've basically never encountered a performance issue before on the iPad Mini 2. ( My iPhone 5 struggles, and gets very warm, but I expect that. )

  • @u0421793 said:
    I’ve just had a thought. I wonder if there’ll be a Kama-ta type Volca soon?

    People always seem to say they want a Wavetable Volca every time the question is posed on the various fora. I always assumed that meant Waldorf themed, but I don't see why Kamata wouldn't be cool (been playing with it for a few hours today), though I'm not sure how they'd expose a drawing interface in the Volca form factor.

    On my mini2 I was using...

    4 Marseille
    4 Helsinki
    3 Bilbao
    2 Gladstone
    1 Kamata
    1 Madrid
    1 Kiev

    As long as I froze the 2 Gladstones or the Madrid and 3 Helsinkis it is OK. The new Gadgets are indeed beefy but totaly worth it, bring on the beef I say!

    Oh and it looks like there were delays and reverb and compression and wah and flange and mwahahaha on every $&^$ing track!!! This thing is $&^$ing awesome!!

  • Still loving KORG Gadget, including the new gadgets. Created another side band with my other daughter, this one 8 years old. Like the previous collab with my 6 year old, this was all created by my daughter. I now have two side bands!

    Proud papa indeed. Sounds like an ad backtrack for a piece of communication equipment as yet uninvented.

  • Tha Kamata is not as chip-tuney as it seems. There are some cool sounds to be had. And yeah, the interface rules.

    I made a quite detailed request about step-recording over at the Korg Forums some time ago :)
