So weak, I didn't hold out at all.
Excellent Tutorial Video. Thanks for posting.
@mmp I'm with you that at first glance it seems most suited to loop based dance music forms. But it is certainly not limited to that. It has some very good PCM sounds of more "traditional" band instruments including guitars, bass, drums, pianos, strings etc. as well as great and varied synth sounds. And the ability to record over multiple scenes gets over the 8 bar limit per scene. I can see it being great for more ambient stuff too. It is flexible enough that the style is dictated by the user, not by the program! And when AB gets added, the sky is the limit!
That Zanook vid is quite impressive. Nice sax too.
Thanks, Morris, how many traditional sampled instruments are there (more or less) ? Since you can't import samples (yet?) it is rather important... Are they all in Marseilles?
Still undecided, anyway bedtime now...
@mmp I would say Marseilles has about 100 or more instruments, and a few scattered about in other gadgets.
128 presets in Marseilles, and I believe all the sounds are lifted from the M1/Trinity/Triton workstations sample ROM. At least that's how it sounds to me. So pretty small footprint on the samples, but definitely good enough to sprinkle some basic acoustic elements in there. Mostly bread and butter sounds, a few various pianos,electric pianos, organs, guitars, strings, wood and brass, choir, ethnic stuff and some synths.
Then there's the Amsterdam boom box gadget with around 100 presets, mostly one-shot sound effects like scratches, voices, percussions etc, and for some reason a bunch of sampled synth chord progressions.
Lastly London with 63 drum kits, over 300 samples. Mostly geared towards electronic music, but there are a few acoustic kits in there too.
I think that covers all the sample based stuff ATM. Unless counting Kiev, the spectral synth, where you also have a few acoustic-ish samples to draw from when doing a preset.
i switched to the patchbay of the"Semimodular Synthesizer"Dublin the first time.
hehehe.Nice one.
Nice inspiring video.

I succumbed!
part of the family now :-)
"App of the year, who knows" Although a bit early to speculate on that, the above was the most comprehensive and well written review of gadget I have seen to date.
I love how Gadget's sequencer is a very clever hybrid between scene/pattern based sequencers like Ableton Live's session view and the linear arrangement sequencers of traditional DAWs. Instead of having two separate disjointed sequencers hacked together like Live's session view/arrangement view, Korg came up with a single unified solution that caters to both scenarios in an elegant way. It's easy to guess that Gadget's upcoming audio tracks will probably work just like how the recording of notes and automations works across multiple scenes now.
Maybe someone has already mentioned this but I really like almost everything here except where the "function" button is. In my way of working, I wish it were up top in the main window and then again in the tracks edit window... Unusually uncomfortable where it is considering how well designed this is overall...
yep,the function button annoys me there as well as the transport bar.I already posted it in the feature requests over at the korg forum.Do it as well,the more the better
There's always gonna be room for improvement but all I really need at this point is for Gadget to get audio tracks and/or a sampler, whichever happens first. And once Audiobus/IAA arrives, it'll be a wrap!
Not sure if this has already been posted.....

Edit: Oops just seen Simons post
Thanks for the details guys, downloading now...
@PhilW, we must have posted at about the same time, hadn't seen your post just before my previous one!
Having watched the Ableton Minilogue video last night thought I'd try hooking Gaget up to my Monotribe and Volca Keys using WIST for the first time. All worked fine with solid sync. Put down some very simple loops and clips and just played at manipulating them to create different vibes, adding tracks to Gadget as required by playing in lines with my Quneo. It was really good fun and will be even better if we get midi cc control of synths in Gadget (I find the controls on the iPad a little hit and miss for live manipulation. )
Did make me wonder what we'll be able to achieve with Audiobus 2 for this kind of thing if we can keep two or three high end Synth Apps and effects in time and sync them both internally and externally....

Yes, after I'd posted, I noticed you had just posted too!
maybe they named it Kiev because it's strange sounding and there were strange sounds heard in Kiev...
It's not because it's got garlic butter in the middle??
I don't know. What are we talking about? The synth or the strange sounding chicken?
Chicken Kiev Chips and Baked Beans sounds nice
Kiev chip tunes to half baked beats
God I'm hungry.
Are there any new gadgets due out yet ?
@DaveMagoo said:
No, not until the next update at least but I have not heard about a delivery date.
It might just be as big of a surprise as Gadget itself was hopefully!!
Don't know if this has already been asked but does anyone know how (or if you can) delete saved songs or audio from Korg Gadget, without using something like iFunbox?
Ah, it's OK. Found it! Go to Open and left swipe the song and a delete button appears!
Thank You!
