Give it time @LucidMusicInc!

The attraction of Suite gets seriously powerful once you find yourself comfortable with Lite and begin to hit the limitations

8 tracks and 16 scenes. I've hit it a few times already.

I could mention a few hundred more limitations but I will just say don't demo the fast approaching Live 10 Suite unless you can afford to buy it!!!

Any other Nanokey Studio users here? Seems a few months back the "Chord Pads" function was completely rubbish, I mean just torture to play. I gave it a test yesterday and it seems legit now. I'm pretty certain I'm not imagining this, but I think there's more Midi improvements going on in the new update than we realise.

Forgive my sluggishness, you mean in Gadget? I have a Studio thingie and a newly revitalized interest in Gadget (hello Auxy subscription). and am due to be making a couple of long transatlantic trips over the next few months so this could be interesting as I love how the Studio just gets thrown in the bag so easily and lives forever on a few triple A batteries BUT am intimidated by the way Gadget seems to eat power however....

Keep your iPad on airplane mode with redundancies like Link and background audio off and you can extend your battery life a little. Using the big consumers like Odyssey and the Romplers sparingly in tracks can also minimise the cpu load.

All good advice....but it's Gadget specifically I'm thinking about, it SUCKS down juice (at least on my 12.9) in a way that nothing else comes close to....

Indeed... same on Pro 9.7 and iPhone SE
with Lisbon being the absolute battery ‘melter’

I wish KORG would publish proper release notes, so we did not have to stumble upon these great new features. Makes you wonder what else you may be missing. However it seems their own page have not been touched in years:

MAtrixplan

So anyone could confirm is it working with different controllers?

They released a newsletter awhile back indicating they're shutting down KorgUser.net for some new website with a shop feature. I'm optimistic when they get their own house in order someone will take responsibility for PR.

This is partially why ive given up on using Gadget for the time being. I love it dearly but it needs more focus. I can only hope its a hit with Switch users as it seems much of the grumbling about the Mac version has really hurt theirt confidence in investing more into it.

I think the midi sync is new too. I'm controlling Gadget from Cubasis for what seems to be the first time using the transport and tempo without Link.

Edit yep it's new and it's syncing with GarageBand beautifully!

Wow, this is awesome - I wonder why they don't tell us these things - it would make the updates more popular instead of having them seem like just a way to sell more IAP's

Falls under the "other enhancements " category.

Maybe their marketing pukes experts want to keep the focus on what’s going to generate income (IAPs). Since we don’t pay for upgrades, there’s little difference if the update is popular or not (except for maybe some positive reviews, from those few who bother to update them, which I doubt result in any meaningful uptick in sales).

Definitely they’re not into the documentation game. The last new gadget to make it into the manuals was years ago.
