wow ....i got the app...sounds awesome
My first completed track with Gadget, a slice of synth rock, I hope you will like it.
Ha, the Dublin semi-modular synth is capable of some pretty awesome evolving sounds, even though it's pretty basic compared with some of the dedicated offerings on iOS.
Not sure if your comment was in connection with my track or not, but no Dublin used, the bass and lead were both Berlin. If you like evolving sounds, then Kiev is awesome! There's a little of that on my track. Recorded using iPad2 by the way.
@PhilW sounds great Phil, is that Gadget only?
Nice one, Phil!
Small composition made this weekend, the sound of this app is more than a gadget.
i hope you like,
Pat
After quite a few days with inspector gadget I came to the conclusion that korg decided to go for the prosumer product in order to maximize profit. To be completely honest I'd be more than happy with there being a total of 6 gadgets with full implementation and an array of waveforms to cover a spectrum of sounds/styles. The same goes for drum machines, I'd rather have one fully fledged analog machine (ikaossilator style) and one with PCM samples. Clearly they went with an easy good sounding prosumer format where you pick the right machine and it will deliver in a style you desire. While I'm still extremely satisfied with the machine I'm slowly starting to see its shortcomings. I'm waiting with anticipation for AB support to slap some roughness onto the mixes.

Yes, all straight out of Gadget, no post processing or anything.
Cool, thanks.
I must pot here my first two tracks make first and second day on this fantastic app:
Enjoy :-)
Turns out I could definitely use more than 8 bars per track.
Ok, I had a go. No probs on ipad 2 but I'm not going mad on tweaking and only recorded a little automation. I think korg has done a great job here.
-Spot on!

I completely agree with ya dom. I am finding it quite a hassle, if even at all possible, to get what I would call "my" sound out of Gadget in its current state. This is due to the issues you mention, and the utter lack of processing tools. We absolutely need such things for deeper shaping of the sounds to fit our decidedly dirtier sounds. I am noticing that for the most part insofar, more often than not with Gadget I find myself being taken into sonic territories I typically would not, ending up with songs that are more like explorations of the defined styles set forth by each Gadget, rather than something I'd set out to make for my own DJ sets or production. I hope that in the future we will see Gadget get more machines and FX that cater to a more professional level of sonic sculpting. Things such as audio in and audiobus/IAA support will certainly help further things along, but ultimately Gadget will remain little more than an audio sketch pad until it gets those more comprehensive devices and tools/FX we would like to see in the app. If KORG can allow iMS-20 and iPolySix to slot into a Gadget track that would be a great step in the right direction as well.
It IS early on and Gadget is a mere weekish old, so high hopes for its future and it becoming a truly indispensable pro audio production suite. All said, it is still incredible fun to use, even if often an exercise in futility.
I actually find it a very productive environment, the sounds are great and inspire experimentation, and it is then easy to capture the essence of a track when you find something interesting you like. Yes, I'm also keen to see AB added so that it is less of an island, and extra fx would always be good, but even at the moment, I think it is one of the best apps I have ever bought.
@OmnilimbO I agree - I found it very easy to work something up in 1/2 hr - but - in spite of my best intentions, it sounded unlike the kind of music I normally produce and while sounding just fine overall seemed to be driving me in a direction that I wasn't really expecting. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet :-)
this Mee Zanook character is havin too much fun hahaHA!
@MusicInclusive I'd say it's both good and bad at this stage. Experimentation and exploration of new styles is always a good thing IMO, except when it comes at the cost of being unable to make good use of the app otherwise.
@PhilW I agree, Gadget is a very productive environment. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Gadget and have already in its short existence spent more time with it than a vast majority of other audio apps I have. I think the foundation of what KORG has created here is one of the best things to happen yet in the iOS music making world. They have pinned down the fundamentals of a great sequencer that in time will surely be both intuitive, powerful, full-featured, and fun. And yes, it does offer some great sounds. The problem lies with what Dom said about the devices... they are aimed squarely at proSUMER market... and thusly are a bit dumbed down in terms of overall flexibility and power that users seeking full control and deep sculpting would be looking to have available. The 15 gadgets we have so far are great little things, but are incredibly narrow in what they each offer. Limitations can be a good thing, but it's also invaluable to have a fully capable tool box. I think that in the end if KORG keeps adding these simplified gadgets, as well as full-featured machines it will be a winning combination... offering loads of launch-points, as well as deeper tools to flesh out ideas and take them to the next level with polish.
I see great things ahead.
To say that each gadget is "incredibly narrow" in what they offer I think sells it short. A synth like Wolfsburg is quite a complex beast in its own right and its potential goes way beyond the presets. Each gadget offers something slightly different and unique, so the total range of sounds on offer is really pretty impressive. The programming is very accessible too, which is also an important consideration.
I initially thought I would have no use for the Miami gadget - I don't make dubstep. But I was playing around the other day and got a useful sound that wasnt wobbly bass sounding by playing some notes higher up on the keyboard. So i wouldn't classify the devices as incredibly narrow.
But I totally agree - the ability to get other sounds in there via AB or even audiopaste would be a huge step forward with this already great app.
@OmnilimbO when you say - incredibly narrow - do you mean in terms of presets? I ask because most of the synths (perhaps with the exception of Brussels, Amsterdam and Tokyo - and even with those there is some unusual and innovative configurability) have a resonably interesting amount of tweakability in terms of several or all of cutoff frequency, resonance, envelope, filter, waveform etc. Even Kingston with its simplistic approach can be made to produce some particularly useful raw sounds with the effects on and the sequencing turned off. @PhilW I agree that Wolfsburg is nice esp. with the modulation matrix in the mod section. Likewise Berlin, Phoenix, Dublin, Helsinki, Chiang Mai.
BTW: If you haven't already seen it - many of the synths have more than one "section" - sometimes a complicated modulation / envelope section that is selected either via a button or a slider and brings up a whole new panel. That allows for a great variety of wave shapes.
My first little loop from this great app
Yeah, I don't agree with the concept of this being "prosumer" at all. It's definitely a pro composition app, if you are someone who can compose music. It's not a tweakers paradise, obviously, but I'd much rather Korg see their vision of the app through as they intended it to ultimately be rather than bow to those wanting this to be an Ableton Live clone. I think Korg have provided enough of an intriguing vision that I really want to see what they would do to improve it.
My first upload to soundcloud - created on Gadget.
I don't get the "prosumer" or the "incredibly narrow" comment either. Just because it doesn't have devices with bazillion knobs and menus doesn't mean it's not fully capable and powerful enough as a pro composition tool.
The music that it is producing certainly sounds pro=featured and in the end is what counts the most.
Quick App Jam with Marseille
I agree with this app being pro enough for musicians. It's the right balance between keeping it manageable on a tablet device and still giving enough flexibility in sound design
After spending a couple of hours just with building my own presets i have to revise my first impression.There are some really really nice sounding gadgets indeed.My favs are:Phoenix,Berlin,Chiang may,Dublin,Chicago and both drummer.
Gadgets i found just"ok":Kiev,Marseille (some nice strings but all in all too cheesy and thin for my taste),Amsterdam,Miami,Wolfsburg
Dislike:Brussels (wtf?),Helsinki,Kingston.
All in all enough to keep me excited for a while.Hope sample import will come asap.But im afraid that its just not part of their concept with the soundcloud social aspect in mind etc.Otherwise they would have done at least sample import for the drummer in version 1,no?
And i NEED Inserts or a channel strip/EQ for the mixer.
