    I don't like how 'freeze' files are saved even after a project is deleted.
    Used freeze a few times and the apps memory usage has jumped to 80mb.
    Imagine what that will be after a year...
    As far as I can see there's no way to delete these from within the app.

    I'm pretty sure you can bulk delete them with ifunbox when you eventually get around to it.

  • I like Space Junk @DaveMagoo. Great feel and sound!

  • @DaveMagoo - nice and spare, clean space. Yes.

  • all in all its kinda like tabletop....im still lovin cubasis

  • Thanks @funjunkie, @Trueyorky & @Dwarman.....enjoying gadget for sure.

    @kennyrox Definitely needs Audiobus and midi clock sync :)..and IAA effects and everything else ;)

    Audiobus etc....coming soon though :)

    @jfeheley - that's physics. To tell the difference the software has to wait on a touch down to see if it is a held down or a tap and release. So the release is always going to be tighter timing for your muscle memory.

    That makes sense. I hadn't thought of that. Thank you.

  • just wondering - if IAA/Audiobus, midi sync, (& other more robust midi features) are added soon ... how much will that effect performance?

    I haven't picked it up yet - still on the fence, but leaning ... but say on my ipad4 i can get 10 gadgets running some loops with a few effects & some automation happening before it starts hickupping/glitching. With AB/IAA and other new features... will I only be able to get 6 or 7 gadgets running then?

  • @Halftone I don't know but I suspect with AB / IAA many people will create in Gadget and record into a dedicated DAW for further processing. Anyway, 6 or 7 gadgets is enough for a riot.

  • Maybe a dumb question but what are some of you using to monitor CPU/memory? I have an ipad air and was just curious.

  • cmemory. No longer in App Store.

    It just dawned on me that none of the Korg apps on iOS has featured a sampler so far. I wonder if that has to do with them trying to play it safe legally due to the fact that most of their apps have a direct upload to Soundcloud feature...

    Here is the link to vote for what improvements you would like to see in future updates of gadget.
    Not enough voting going on so far. We need to get our opinions out to this page.

  • im on ipad 3, specs say i should be able to run 8 tracks. my ipad is stuttering from just 4. no effcts, no automation, simple sequence, very little polyphony. could my ipad be defective? this has been happening with all other music apps, i get stuttering before cpu even hits 50 percent. i have 64 gig ipad and 20 gigs free, no other apps running.

  • edited January 2014

    On my original Mini and 2 I can get five tracks, but have been successful with no lag running one instance of each gadget (15) if 12 are frozen. They unfreeze instantly for editing, so.... That 8 limit doesn't seem to apply. 16GB no apps running

  • Just joined the gadget forum as Tritonman2 suggested. Up'ed the votes there and posted one new suggestion. If we want Korg to listen - which they seem very desirous to do - add your voice :-)

  • @jfeheley - that's physics. To tell the difference the software has to wait on a touch down to see if it is a held down or a tap and release. So the release is always going to be tighter timing for your muscle memory.

    I think there should be a way of taking automation snapshots and it should do it automatically when you first record on a track. Otherwise if you add some automation in, say, Scene 5, it ends up changing the sounds in all the other scenes as well. This would also solve the problem of automation parameters not being available for editing.

    Also, autoscroll as an option.

  • I'd love to be able to launch regions seperate from scenes, clips ala Ableton. Already added it to the korg forums

  • edited January 2014

    Gaz Williams investigates deeper. I learned one new trick watching it. I thought I knew it all by now.

    but of course you can change the lenght of a track without going into it.

    Thanks for sharing that, @firejan82. A useful video that complements those by thesoundtestroom although it appears to suffer from some timing issues on the screen view, so what you see is not always what is playing.

  • Damn,after having a hard time again working arround the Cubasis bugs yesterday instead of just making music i will get myself a damn giftcard later (they are on sale right now so i save another 20%)and buy the damn Gadget.Damn.

  • I've given up on beating myself up about buying apps.
    It was bad for my blood pressure.and...
    I've accepted the fact that I'm an app-addict-junkie-slut.

    By the way....anyone on this side of the water watching 'uncle'?

    Gadget TIP OF THE DAY: Pinch to Zoom the sequencer window. Many have asked for it in an update, but guess what, you can do it already. Pinch the blue area with the numbered white dashes right below the Bar tabs and you can resize to you liking. ;)

    Really?? Can you see the whole 8 bars on screen with this? Was driving me mad last night trying to edit a melody line and could only see one bar at a time....

  • @Crabman I think people like this app because Korg has shown Apple & us what IAA could and should be - "plugin" apps opening up in a studio-like main app. Fully controllable and automatable.

    That's it really. Those are probably not the best synths on the iPad, it's missing a ton of fx, no useful MIDI yet, no audio tracks, sampling BUT instead of futzing around with slots, assigning MIDI parameters, switching between apps one can just make music.

    Yep, you can zoom out to all 8 bars, or zoom in to a single beat, and the same ruler area will scroll through the bars when you move your finger side to side.

    Yes. Gadget is selling because:

    1. It's easy.
    2. It's fun.
    3. It sounds good.

    A simple formula.

    Haha, I've been bitching about this in apps reviews for the last 2 years. On the PC you fire up a daw and magically everything (plug ins etc.) is in sync with a master clock of the host application. On ios audiobus or else, you spend ages trying to sync and eventually you half succeed. It's a non brainer. It seems like either virtual midi system on ios is not mature enough or developers are not apt at implementing it in their apps. This sounds very strange however, since midi messages are probably the simplest kind out there in the digital world and I'm sure a lot can be directly transferred from the hardware original midi environment. I notice I.e. That some apps (I.e. Loopy) have extremely fine tempo settings (probably wasted on most of us) which is bound to create problems with other apps that don't. Where is magellan gonna go when it receives 67.5bpm, to 67 or to 68? Or will it for ever oscillate between the 2? Or will it truncate or add a little at the end of each bar?
    This niche in the market has been empty for a very long time in terms of software development. Tabletop and BM2 almost got it (former buggy, latter bloated with PCM). Auria had no midi cubasis is just about to get there, caustic great but no audio track and with (IMHO) questionable sound quality (let's face it not all of us are hi hat tweakers or modular cable scientists). Then....Bang! Korg got in and ticked most boxes, some of them to be ticked soon. When it gets audio it will clearly be loop based (a la tt) and not continuous like cubasis, which is fine. Then however effects on the audio track will be restricted to what KORG slaps on which will probably be the same multieffect they added to most gadgets which for many of us is not quite enough. So, salvation here will come from AB so we get to use out favourite Turnados, ivoxels, singalings etc. But....
    We'll need something on the output. Unless gadget will be able to do AB input and output simultaneously?
    It's still a mess but quite a lovely mess. Things are moving forward for the ios music and that's what matters. My advice would be to be doing this on the most capable ipad one can afford cause with gadget + AB2 + whatever fx running in sweet harmony things are gonna get veeeeery heavy.
