korg gadget audio in ?? how
I’d love to have a chain of synths and effect running in aum, or audiobus, and port them in and record them straight into rosario or/and zurich in real time.
i know i can import. loop, but i’d like to record i. on the fly. is this possible?
Comments
I don’t think so.
I believe it only records from the mic or an external audio device.
Record with AudioShare, trim it up, and Import it, would be my suggestion.
You want to record into a multitrack DAW like Cubasis using Audiobus because you can assign multiple inputs that way. Use Gadget as another sound module and Cubasis for the trimming and audio arrangement. Rosario and Zurich are strictly for mic recording and audio playback. It’s possible but very unlikely we’ll see IAA input in Gadget. As far as AUM goes it has its merits but it lacks built in audio editing, although it can make perfect loops if you can figure it out, it works better for jamming than Cubasis again due to it’s non linear looping nature but it’s not my first choice for recording tracks for songs.
I’ve wondered if there’s anyway to spoof iOS into seeing iaa as mic input? Or routing iaa to mic input internally? Then, theoretically, you could route audio into gadget. I don’t think it’s possible though. . . .
yeah, i wish that would be perfect
Some interfaces allow you to ‘loopback’ audio. I have rme ufx, and im able to loopback audio from aum to gadget.
The audio functions in Gadget are sub-par at best...and I love Gadget.
It's just simply not a DAW. It's a synth workstation.
If you want DAW functionality use Gadget with a real DAW: Cubasis, Auria, etc.
This is what audiobus was designed for.
Makes no sense.
Show my audio interface.
But, yet no way to get signal into it.
I guess they have their own "Reasons"
Gadget is nothing more than the Electribe 2's sequencer packed to the hilt with legacy sounds that Korg has amassed over the years glossed over by a thinly veiled clone of Reason's UI, only instead of it being a linear timeline and a vertical rack it's a linear rack and a vertical timeline. It's also blue for some reason.
Where Gadget excels in is in making groovy dance loops. It lags in the arrangement, though it can be done, and done well by those dedicated to the task, it's far more sensible to either arrange in a linear DAW like Cubasis, by either sending real-time midi and recording audio tracks or exporting loops and arranging the audio clips. All three options are highly viable though the last option appeals to me the most lately.
Another nice use for Gadget, is in designing ensembles and parts for live performances or rehearsals. For example you can lay down some drum parts using Gladstone in different time signatures and some accompanyment using other tracks and instruments. Having up to 16 or 32 bars allows you to make chord progressions to practice or jam over. It's an all in one kit so it's very easy to swap out something like a synth for a sampler or whatever you fancy without having to go hunting for other apps (AU instruments) and their respective presets and effect configurations. But I might be triggering some people in saying so. Trigger warning.
Funny enough.
The new "Rex" $10 update somehow really changed me on this app.
I removed it from 2 of my 4 iOS devices.
Something just is bugging me with it.
I am also right on the line with Novation Groovebox.
Either give me something useful or I feel I am wasting time.
Hasty, yes.
Honest, yes.
I think being excited about what I use is key for ios. DAW desktops became drudgery, this shouldn't.
Gadget is done.
Never gone change, they will cash in every 6 months with an "UPGRADE"....wink wink
Which amounts to a subscription for most of us who buy them all.
Last 2 "upgrades" disappointed.
Lost the passion for it.
No audio in is just stubborn already. It makes no sense.
The fact that importing samples is a 3 step process is lame to say the least.
I HAVE 2 WORDS FOR ALL DEVELOPERS:
OPEN IN!
Gadget is what it is, it's not a full DAW and anybody who bought it thinking that it might ever become one in the future was being kind of naive.
I have gadget, which I bought immediately when it was first released some years ago, along with many, but not all IAPs, and it does what I expect it to do.
Agreed. But, an an audio Gadget that can only take in audio from the microphone or imported audio? That was truly a wtf moment when I realized that. Good thing it was free is all I can say. I have to say it did break the spell of Gadget for me by shedding light on Korg’s mindset. I do now think of it as an instrument. And in doing so freed me from that almost automatic assumption that I need every new Gadget. iMonoPoly is the last Gadget I bought, and that only because of a sale and the raving over it around here. Yay! Free at last!
Considering that the 'Audio Gadgets' are targeted at vocalists and string-players it makes sense to use the hardware inputs for those 'user-profiles'.
As for the rest who prefer to record/sample/re-sample audio from internal or external sources another Gadget with more advanced audio-editing is needed.
This 'new' Gadget could be inspired by Ableton Simpler, Cubase Sampler Track or similar easy to use samplers.(I mean the 'sampler' in Garage Band is a 'stripped down' ESX24 with 'drag audio to sample track' to create an instrument, In Gadget this could be 'Create Sampler Instrument from Track & Scene' or 'Record Audio').
To sample 'internal' source an AUv3/AB3/IAA Gadget would be needed the track with this Gadget could be used as a source for the 'Sampler Gadget'.
I have a really hard time trying to compose focused, constructive and somewhat polite message with feature requests to the Korg people but in due time I'll manage...
Korg gadget feels like a bad port of something that worked well somewhere else. Never completed a song with it. Theres a ton of cool noises but the interface feels so awkward and non intuitive to me. I know my way around it very well but it just feels like they don't understand how ios works. No audiobus in. No slide up/down on keyboard. Super awkward piano roll editor.
Whatever. Gadget is cool. The synths are really nice!
I'm just bitter Vancouver wasn't nanostudio
It’s a daw in the sense is meant to complete productions in the box. But it’s dance music-oriented, so the piano roll rules. you can say its half way between a tracker and a linear daw.
DAW stands for digital audio workstation. The main purpose of a DAW is to record, edit, and arrange digital audio. Korg trying to promote Gadget as a DAW is just wrong and as demonstrated leaves users unsatisfied.
KORG is a beast on it's own dessert Island
It was my first go to music making app on IOS.
I love the sound and it is wonderful at what it does.
After I figured out a few ways to import my own drum samples I was in heaven.
When I discovered that importing Midi files is broken Gadget disjoints the Midi file and loads them
vertically as opposed to linearly. I was not pleased to say the least
Then there is NO AUV3, NO Audiobus, NO IAA input recording No real sampler/sample editor
then they give us a REX player. If Gadget had Beatmeker 3 sampler and AUV3, Audiobus support they would KILL.
Instead KORG has chosen to take the Retronyms Tabletop closed system route.
I enjoy using AUV3 in Cubasis now and I use beathawk primarily for drum programming and
import the stems into Cubasis.
Sadly I admit to NOT having made a beat in KORG Gadget for at least two months.
that beat was hot I just want to be able to bring all the toys together they are not making that easy.
