@Schrodinger is there a way to actually shrink the size of the keyboard keys?
@JamMaestro inside your chosen device click 'scale', then alter scale step and octave range to show more or less keys.
@Christian The short answer is no.
But the environment is very conducive to creativity and making and evolving sounds that you might not otherwise have produced...
Having 15 synths to choose as a starting point, all really easy to hook up and get started on, gets those creative juices flowing and puts very few barriers in front of the creative process. In addition the fully implimented automation means that it's incredibly easy to bend a sound in a way that you might not even bother trying with some more complex routing options.
So there's nothing here to match the sonic potential of an App like Nave but the immediacy of the instruments, their sound quality, and the productivity offered by the environment might lead you somewhere you might not otherwise go?
I was just thinking. I have a folder full of all the big name iOS synths. And I rarely use them. and when I do, I have a hard time to decide which should I use. Then I create dumb ass pads or that "synth bass" sound we all know.
I really like that Korg has given us a bunch of cool synths that sound awesome and get you that sound in a few knob twists. Also... midi sequencing and automation although limited, is much better than sampling a loop via audiobus, and if you want to change the filter cutoff you have to resample.
I've tried soloing each loop and sample it in Maschine. Major fun.
I mostly agree with @Skipp, except that it has some synths that use methods of synthesis that aren't covered by the synths I already have (and I have a lot!), so I would say that it is capable of producing sounds that I have not heard from existing synths. Plus the ease of access and tweaking of those sounds is certainly a big plus.
What I do find awkward is that although I have an iPad Air, it struggles with scrolling and animations.
Scrolling those presets or samples in the drum machine is a bit tedious.
I agree and I would prefer if we could load in / audiopaste in our own samples preferably with a folder system.
Audio tracks are definitely coming. And Audiobus.
Yeah I know what you mean, from the video the presets are really nice sounding, and the automation is great because it just works without screwing around with MIDI CCs. Just for that it's tempting to get it.... almost gave in yesterday
OTOH I already have too many synths and part of the issue you mentioned is that I don't really know any of them inside out. When Z3ta will drop I will likely get it, keep Thor, iMini and probably Nave. Animoog, Sunrizer, iSEM & GrainScience will have to go because I simply don't have time to dive into them.
I find Sunrizer the most enjoyable. Maybe because it's so easy to program and those supersaws sounds so damn nice
Yeah I think Sunrizer's great. Once again is the ease with which you can put an idea into practice combined with sounding great. Set it on one state, think of an interesting variation, morph between them with the mod wheel. Happy Days
Mee Zanook havin' fun...

Turning ON the "increase contrast" under iOS settings helps a little bit here, still not exactly 60fps tho. You'll lose the transparency effects system wide, but you'll be able to use the AppStore etc without it becoming a slideshow when rotating the screens and so on . From what I've read iOS 7.1 will most likely solve the really sluggish graphics the Air suffers from .
Here's my first "track". Excuse the piano playing, it's a wee bit hard playing on a 3-4" space and those tiny key's. but whatever , slapped a beat on it with some kit from London..Watch your ears, no mixing outside Gadget here..
@ChrisG nice work, cool groove and an open, airy (not hairy) sound considering all mixed in Gadget. I like it.
@ChrisG impressed that you played that on the keyboard..
After playing with gadget for a few hours, I'm so incredibly impressed with the results. There are some things I'd love to see in future versions:
Ok, that should keep them busy for the next 3 years or so
Cool. Yea I did spend time moving notes in the editor, but just got way tedious (my midi keyboard is broken), so i just said sod it and uploaded to that gadget cloud. I wish they'd implement it the same way they did with iPolysix where you can choose if you wanna include the projects file, so people can download the project into their Gadget for collaborations or remixing or whatever
So I'm having an issue I can't get around. It seems that every single bass drum from any gadget is creating some high frequency transients that sound like a ring mod or something applied, yet I have zero effects on it. I don't think it was doing this before, but perhaps I just didn't notice. Anyhow, I start a brand new song and straight off it's doing this. Can you kind souls solo through say the BD sounds in London and Tokyo and see if this is a widespread issue, please?
@omnilimbo definitely haven't experienced any artifacts on any of the gadgets

Freeze actually does this kind off, the individual tracks are inside the folder named Freeze.

No issues here either. Maybe your cans/speakers are saying goodbye?
Todays gadgetry
My first gadget track
I've tried my AKG K550 and my Westone UM3X RC, both only a year old, and both suddenly have this ringing. It's a somewhat subtle ringing, but it is noticeable as generally the same short ringing across all bass sounds, though hard to hear in the sounds that contain other mid and hi content.
If it is not the app, then I'll be a bit worried about the iPad itself (brand new wifi iPad Air). This wasn't an issue until last night after getting some horrible clipping and such while running no apps other than Gadget and Animoog. I had gadget running in the background and was playing Ani on top when it started glitching out real nasty. This is odd because previously I had been running a much larger Gadget project as well as a dozen other apps and AB etc with zero problems. Maybe I somehow fried part of the iPad's output? This is driving me mad.
I would just delete and reinstall gadget to see if that fixes the problem, but I don't want to lose my project files.
Ps. I love these tracks you guys are sharing, great stuff... And just helped me determine it must be a problem with this iPad, because the bass parts of your tunes are producing the same ringing for me.
@trueyorky perfect, that worked! Cheers.

From my experience normally ringing on bass come either from low sample rate/low quality audio or dodgy digital to analog converters. In your case could be the latter. Can you swap it on warranty?
I thought that if you changed synth parameters in a new scene it wouldn't affect the previous scenes but I was wrong. Don't suppose there is a way to take a 'snapshot' of current parameter settings for automation?

Guess one way would be to use automation I don't think there is a way to save a scene snapshot.
