    I'm having a hard time working with other apps (soundprism, arepegggionome, chordion, chordpolyapp...) when writing in Gadget. I created a template with an audible signal telling me in which region I'm recording onto but it's still a very sketchy solution. Sadly Gadget doesn't seem to have launch scene, record or pause buttons in the Audiobus dock.

    If someone came up with a good workflow to switch between apps / record chords generated in other apps I'd be curious to hear.

    Not really. Just insert extra scenes in gadget (with a click track count in) to allow yourself time to switch apps and get ready.

    Or use a second phone/ipad and Bluetooth midi. But that's a bit of a hassle to set up each time.

  • Another one for the wish list... Copy / Paste automation between parameters.

  • A good distortion as an IFX! And multiple audio outs! Please.

    Kind of a duel wish for module and gadget: more partnerships like the one with ivory grand. Something like miroslav in sampletank, but as an in app purchase in module, useable in gadget would be awesome. More gadgets! Just take my money!

    Better effects, better guitars, and a guitar amp simulator gadget.

  • A Polysix or Mono/Poly gadget would be nice.

  • Hoping that Korg will give us the Kronos AL-1 engine as stand-alone app and Gadget :D

  • edited July 2016

    Many of the wishes we have around more acoustic gadgets like guitar & woodwinds (or strings) can easily be manage thru an MIDI-out Gadget...

    But, perhaps Korg want to built an incredible DAW with everything around four walls in the future...

    Korg Gadget has come a long way in 30 month, is'nt so?

    We all must agree that Korg Gadget is an elegant music solution for both iPads & iPhones... Love to Korg Inc. for everything so far...

    Yepp! All Kudos to Korg for being so present on iOS. They really put Roland and Yamaha in the 'shame-corner' :D

    Both Yamaha and Roland have the knowledge to push out some amazing iOS apps (See the AN2015 synth in the 'free' SynthBook and Music Mobile Sequencer, TNR-i/e from Yamaha, and Roland SoundCanvas and R-Mix and not to mention the companion apps to their instruments).

    I think they've not just yet realised that the iOS/iPad can be used as an instrument too in the way that Korg has...

    Considering the 'Module' became universal after a short 'side-stop' to a dedicated iPhone version I believe that this will happen to iElectribe too, at least I hope so...

    For me personally the 'Love for Gadget' makes me wish for more all the time. It's already an amazing piece of software that can only get better :)

  • On my side, given the apps that already exist for accoustic instruments (recording or "synthesizing"), my only big wish would be for a proper sampler gadget which would allow to sample IAA and AU... Something similar to the loop recorder module in Table Top (but working correctly lol) would be simply awesome !!!!!!!
    Imagine just being able to record short phrases in real time with overdub as an option for example...

    Edit : Or simply update Abu D. so that it manage time stretching / pitch shifting and permit to chose the number of slices (a single slice being a simple loop)...

    Peace.

    Please give us velocity keys

  • My wish would be something that does what Samplr does - inside Gadget.

    I said it was a wish.

    One feature I'm still puzzled about and why it's missing in 'freeze'...
    Adding a 'copy frozen track' to either Bilbao or AbuDhabi would be a smart move.

    I mean when you 'freeze' a track Gadget creates a *.wav file and plays it back.
    When a track is 'un-frozen' the *.wav file is deleted...

    It would probably be very easy to add a 'copy to...' in the function menu where you freeze a track.

    Then again a 'central' wav/sample pool (with sample-recorder/editor/organiser) inside Gadget would be awesome with access to all samples/waves used by all the Gadgets. And every sample-based Gadget would get access to samples in all other Gadgets and user samples too. Say hello to being able to use your own samples in Kiev, London, Marseille and so on...

    Maybe this is something saved for Gadget 3.0 :D

  • I do miss a more "serious" synth in gadget. Don't get me wrong I like the ones available now, they're good for sketching and finding ideas without being cluttered by endless possibilities of synths like massive, serum, sylenth... But they're mostly presets to be tweaked. I like patching and creating my sound from scratch more and more and would love to see a more in depth synth within Gadget. :p

    Most Gadgets have an 'initialize' patch. I often create sounds from scratch in Kiev, ChangMai, etc.
    I see your point when it comes to Marseille and Glasgow. Luckily the Darwin / iM1 combo opens possibilities.

    Personally I like the fast approach of Gadget. In the past I was 'sound designing' for hours (Nave, Animoog, etc) but now I make music! :)

  • @Rich303 said:

    A reminder of my Mono/Poly tour, just to get people lusting after a gadgety version.

  • @R_2 so Darwin allows patching possibilities? I haven't bought it yet, I thought it was mostly M1 preset oriented.

  • The trick in not getting too annoyed with the 'limited' tweak ability of Gadget's synths is to know what Gadget to use for what type of sound.

    ChiangMai for FM-Type Sounds, Phoenix for 'Polysynths and Pads', Berlin for 'Sync-Leds', Dublin for 'Mono-Synth Mayhem'. Wolfsburg for 'Analog Type' sounds that do not need Pulse-Width manipulation.

    Then we have 'Kiev' for 'vector synthesis' with samples, Marseille for 'Brad&Butter' PCM sounds.

    Module & iM1 for a bit more 'quality' PCM synths.

    We have a 'sampling beatbox' in Bilbao and AbuDhabi.

    What is missing is a 'sampling keyboard synth' with options to load user-samples, pass them thru amp and filter envelopes and do some modulation and add effects. (Think 'Wolfsburg' with an option to load a sample to each of the two oscillators).

    For 're-sampling' Korg just needs to add an option to copy a 'frozen' track to a 'sample pool' as mentioned a few posts above...

    With the addition of IFX effects (wish Korg had included all the Effects available) Gadget is pretty awesome!

    What they are doing with Gadget is a sensitive balance of power and performance. Having a monster synth would kill their whole ethic i think. the fact that you can get so many tracks with fx at once I am finding you can get a lot of mileage by duplicating a synth that already has notes and tweaking parameters seperately on the two clones to layer them up. panning them to opposite sides, adding seperate effects, throwing a Berlin (the most flexible i think) in the middle of the two also playing the exact same notes but tweaked to add some complimenting dimension to the sound etc. You can kind of make 'meta patches' using characteristics of various synths at once.

    That's true, the almost 'minimalistic' approach has it's advantages too, it forces the user to think creatively.

    I was positively surprised by the Electribe 2 especially the way it is quick to tweak sounds since the oscillators mixed all synthesis forms into one (Sample Oscillator, VPM(FM) oscillators, VA, Sync etc.). Most of these oscillator types are available in Gadget as separate Gadgets...

    So for me personally, all that is missing is a 'keyboard sampler gadget' that can also re-sample and record/edit audio.

    For me Phoenix and Wolfsburg the most versatile Gadgets closely followed by Chiangmai and Dublin... Berlin comes after that...

  • Here's my solutions/wishes for what they're worth:

    1. Duplicate scene button and add new track button on the transport control bar. That way you could duplicate the current scene while playing a gadget and upon duplication, the playback would be in the new scene. This would allow for seamless recording of variations of your parts, without the hassle of setting up multiple scenes or copying and pasting. The add instrument button would do exactly that and be more convenient than having to navigate back to the main page. You could simply add a new instrument while playing, recording, and duplicating your scenes.
    2. Ability to launch clips from different scenes. After you are done making your variations using the features above, you can simply launch any of them together. Once again alleviating the need to copy and paste things around. For organization purposes you could have an option to save the currently playing clips together as a new scene.

    With all this you could easily just hit record, play in your parts, add new tracks, create endless variations all without any fiddly set up or copying and pasting. Then launch the clips and save them together for your arrangement.

  • On top of my Gadget wishlist is clip launching and some kind of selective velocity edit feature if that makes sense, something similar to how it's done in ModStep

  • Clip Launching and recording Clips top a Time-Line would be handy....

    For me Berlin and Chiangmai typicaly lead the synth charge as with gadget synths I tend to be a squelcher.

  • @stelvio said:
    @R_2 so Darwin allows patching possibilities? I haven't bought it yet, I thought it was mostly M1 preset oriented.

    Darwin inside Gadget is indeed limited to a few basic parameters. But in iM1 you can create your own sounds (not 'patching' as in Moog's Model15 if that's what you mean) and then use them in Gadget/Darwin.
    iM1's sound pallet is huge if you got all cards, because you can mix and match all of their samples in the two OSC slots. Unlike the included presets, which are based on single ROM cards.

    If you're willing to put in some time you can create the craziest sounds in iM1, far beyond the factory presets. Save it to a library card and it's ready to use in Darwin/Gadget.
    It's also got a few unique FX not included in other Gadgets.

  • Midi out!

  • If Gadget could sequence external apps, that would answer many desires. However, I think Korg designs basically for IAP of Gadgets. So I'd expect to see more kinds of Gadgets in the future within a fairly closed system.

    What he said plus a REAL
    Abu Dhabi update where enabling the user to PLAY the samples slices individually on a virtual keyboard.
    turning Abu Dhabi into a sampling keyboard.

  • Also AU support,
    and allow Abu Dhabi to sample from any other Gadget.

    Phoenix then Chiangmai for me when it comes to synths.... then probably Wolfsburg and Kiev

    I get too many clicks with Dublin - the monophonic synths have problems cutting off voices of previous notes in a very inelegant way (IMO)
