Oh, and to open from AudioShare you need to initiate it from Gadget by selecting import from AudioShare, then you can select the file in AudioShare.
The fastest way to get all the REX files into Gadget is to use iFunBox or iTunes using a computer
Now if Gadget had FIles.app support (ie. Gadget's Documents folder visible in Files.app) it would be a matter of 'select all, copy, go to Gadget's folder and paste'.
You guys rock! Will try it now!
Just trying do my best to keep the AB-Community spirit alive
As you said, much of the trouble is UI related.
Lisbon is probably our worst offender in that regard, because of all of the animations and fancy stuff going on. We know where this problem is coming from; the problem for us is doing something about it without impacting the way the app works or looks very much.
Seems reasonable enough to me. The only issue is allocating time to implement
Knowing (now) that it will be implemented is great.
I'm no coder, but (hopefully) it is as simple as telling Gadget "Don't Hide Transport" or "Always On Top" etc..
At least your on it!
Cheers!

@davis_korgrd
Thanks for stopping in. Korg is sometimes considered somewhat monolithic around here and a human voice helps a lot.
Gadget is a phenomenal piece of work. Looking forward to seeing what's next....(but do add me on as regards Files access and the battery drain issue
).
Thanks again.
Huh...I haven't seen any of these around the office, but I'll be sure to let you know if I do
The transport is hidden because it’s scales for iPhones. I agree with your feature request it would be nice to have but there’s the reason it wasn’t there in the first place. @davis_korgrd it’s a good time to be looking at UI improvements however. Consider for example making the mixer full screen. And rather than having the mixer scrolling, go with a paginated approach, so with the master channel always visible allow for 7 channels to be visible and use some kind of bank or page selection to move to the next set of channels, those controls could be put on the transport bar. By doing this it would make it possible for a zoom in on the mixer to make it full screen. Additionally those arrows on the top that allows to switch tracks could also be moved to the transport. I really think that all those controls up at the top can be put on the transport. The size of the transport could be increased just as the size of the loop markers on the sequencer could be increased if the controls were consolidated together.
First of all, thank you so much @davis_korgrd for participating here, it's greatly appreciated.
Reading this, I was wondering whether the difference people are seeing i terms of battery drain (some have major problems, others not so much) could be down to how you use Gadget?
I would imagine, that if you often have the editor open on Lisbon, you are going to see much larger battery drains than if, for example, you mainly work in, say, Marseille.
I'm not sure how much the main arrange screen is drawing, or if there is a difference whether the mixer (with it's VU meters) is visible or not.
But it seems that one might be able to maximise battery life / reduce battery drain, by staying away from the most graphic intensive screens?
Just at thought
Oh, and count me in for Files support as well, I think that's the single most beneficial improvement that Gadget needs (and honestly it's a bit baffling that it's not there yet, 2 years after it was made available in iOS, given how much file import/export is used in Gadget).

Of course, staying away from expensive gadgets like Lisbon helps, but I feel like it's not really fair to say "oh don't use that thing you just bought because we made it too processor intensive" haha.
We've been talking about different solutions, but unfortunately it is a bit of an involved issue to fix so it'll take a little while
As for Files, it's really just a matter of it not getting properly scheduled. Obviously that's our problem, but I figured an excuse is better than silence. I actually looked at the implementation details today, so it's getting there.
Be good if you coud. The original Gadget release was the reason I got back into making music on the iPad. Strangely it ran fine on my old iPad 2 years ago, but the battery drain and heat issues make it pretty unusable on my Air 2 these days.
It's a very wonderful thing though, so would be great if you can.
Indeed, there is a difference with how hot my iPad & iPhone get depending on which screen is open:
But during an average session all these screens will be opened at some point. Selecting presets, sound design, etc can only be done with the gadget opened.
In general in noticed the cpu % Gadget uses isn’t much higher than GarageBand, etc. Hovering between 30-50% on my Pro 9.7. But at the same time the heat buildup and battery consumption is clearly higher.
As pointed out by @MonzoPro there is also a difference depending on iPad model. I too feel Gadget ran less hot and longer on my iPad 2 doing similar tasks.
@davis_korgrd Since long sound-design sessions in particular have such an impact on battery and a fix might take a while. Is it possible for you to enable preset sharing between Gadget and standalone ODYSSEi and iMonoPoly? iM1 and iWavestation already do.
About Lisbon: have you tested freezing the background animation? Perhaps a ‘battery save’ option in settings for these kind of things is an idea. So users can choose.
+1
If you’re all thinking about how to not affect the graphics, I’d suggest ditching the graphics anyway. Of all the gadgets, and indeed of all the apps full stop, I literally can’t read Lisbon because everything of informational importance is far too small to actually read, even with my decent reading glasses on – still uselessly small.
My suggestion is to ditch graphics altogether and go back to how a 1990s IBM PC clone would have looked when Macintosh System 4 was all the rage and IBMs had no graphics at all and just showed text through the bitmap character generator chip onto a green CRT. That should be easier on the system. (Or, an orange screen, as the Apricot used). Don’t use Apricot floppy disks to store the stuff on though, there’s an iOS files app for that sort of thing.
So what I'm hearing is that you all want a Gadget text-based adventure. I'm sure we've got some floppies around with Adventure on them that we could use for reference...
Welcome to the the menagerie/forum @davis_korgrd very cool that you’re checking in with us here. Glad to see you brought your sense of humor, always appreciated...
Actually, I didn't say that, it was @u0421793
- but I like your answer 
Gadget for typewriter would be stupendous!
But 'Macros' for Gadget would be awesome for modifying or editing recorded data.
Search with conditional replace(s), or interpolate values between automated points or randomly generate events.
The OP-Z feels almost like Gadget optionally using the iPad as the screen
Boot up Kamata if the Amiga sound and workflow is what you’re after. Been there done that already!
I’m sure korg has some more Gadget IAPs planned for us but what I see as being the most pragmatic rather than new sound modules are rack effects like Deemax only we need things like graphic eqs and compressors. It would be nice if the whole bundle was offered rather than individually. They could also charge us for things like presets and sample packs. No need to keep making new apps and Gadgets. Now it’s time to fix all the little inconsistencies particularly when it comes to the mixer, piano roll and song arranger.
Nah, some code optimization so we can use it without a charger and oven gloves would be fine.
weird, I didn’t see that branded accessory in the Apple Store last time i was there? are they trying to underplay the overheating issues?
One week left of the sale and Stockholm is still buggy.... lame.
Update coming soon
