Question: what’s the deal with the seemingly repetitive IAPs, I was shopping in the store not long ago, wanting to make sure I had all the packs, and I found that some of them are either completely redundant OR they have the exact same audio preview for whatever reason. Any chance you can clear this up?
Groovebox.
I found this to be true, the packs can be a single instrument, or a set of instruments in a broad category that includes the same instrument. The bundles are relative bargains but it takes some figuring out to avoid the redundancies. Writing down the included instruments in bundles v. the standalone stuff would have saved me from buying instruments twice…I wasn’t wary and would’ve done a lot better going in knowing about how stuff overlaps.
BlocsWave.
An iOS classic.
Gadget pretty much. Invested near or over $1000 on the bloody thing (including all Gadget-compatible apps and all of the IAPs), and it was worth every last dollar. 😂 (Plus despite a lack of major feature updates, Korg seem pretty decent at upkeeping it.)
I went all in too, the 1k, and I’m not sorry either
Drambo hosted by Drambo.
Ampify or Bleass?
(guessing the former)
Yes, Ampify.
After you posted i opened it up again, and ended up sending a Live project to my kid…
Both, please
Bleass Groovebox is weird-ish but fun
I cannot choose one.
But i'll drop some other options not mentioned here:
iDS-10, iMS-10, iPolysix, GR-16, Pure Acid, Rebirth, Xenon, Egoist, Figure, Beatonal, Triqtraq, Oscilab, Forever Beats, Rhythm Studio, bleep!Box, Looptical (some you can end up with a mixed track, others just to get a good stems for 3+ tracks)
Honorable mentions: Drumlab and Elastic Drums
And add one to see I gel with it (still didn't give it some proper time): KDJ-One
I think forever beats is gone from the store
@db909 Yeah... sorry
Actually, from my list, I just checked
Forever Beats, Rebirth, Xenon and Rhythm Studio aren't on the store
Those last three and (others) are why I've frozen this device ios update wise
Another device preserves one of the great/strange environments, Rytmik Ultimate Complete!
Good one. I got one device frozen in iOS9 with 32 bit apps
And my main device is on iOS12 and cannot go any further (which is good for the reasons you mention)
Trully weird. One of these days I launched it again, and suddenly realized I forgot how it works.
Gotta give it a try again. There are desktop versions too. Even on steam
There was a pure chiptune version that was free on iOS, now also on Steam, and the new one called Studio which is Steam only, is full of additional features like user samples…my laptop is not fast enough to run it unfortunately. Ive written the dev many times sort of begging them to renew the Apple license so I could redownload the iOS ones..
Another amazing one that i kick myself for losing when i updated to the next iOS (to get access to some apps i ended up never using) is ElectrifyNXT. So deep and powerful, with a beautiful GUI.
Currently my kid has the old device with some of these gems. Last time i saw him i almost took it back. He wasn’t using it but now i think his girlfriend got into it
KDJ One!!
…funny little thing
There is a manual on their website http://www.kdj-one.com/manual/en/KDJ-ONE_Manual.pdf
Hardware one goes for about $500 if you can find one
Dang
ElectrifyNXT i lost too
But still got Electrify to Go on an ipod touch
There it is!
A crazy brilliant thing. Another dev lost to day job, family, laptop OS, whatever it is
Ive got that one on an iPad 1, (which now feels like it weighs 20lbs) its frozen at iOS 5…
Theres some other stuff on that device. iSequence in which copy/paste still works. Thats a pretty cool sandbox. Not as cool as Drambo of course
Electrify was soooo promising, but just never got stable enough for me to use live. So close to being an amazing app in it's time.
How can you spend 1000 on Gadget? I have all the Gadgets except the ones you get from other Korg apps. And I think during sale I spend about 100. Even if you bought all the other Korg apps it‘s still not even 500. Did you additionally buy Gadget for desktop?
Anyway, I would also vote for Gadget. If you like clip based sequencing like with Ableton Live then you found your Groovebox. If you use Ableton or Bitwig on the desktop then even more so. I’m using Bitwig and I also bought Korg’s Gadget Collection which is all the Gadgets as VSTs. Since you can export your projects from Korg Gadget on the iPad as Ableton Live Set then you can open it with Ableton or Bitwig and they sound exactly the same as on the iPad because it loads the Gadget VSTs then. This makes Gadget on iPad the perfect musical sketchbook on the go. Another great thing is the native support for the inexpensive Korg controllers nanoKeys Studio, nanoKontrol Studio and nanoKontrol 2. The nanoKeys Studio follows the key and scale that is selected in Gadget and then the chord pads and scale mode of the NKS is set accordingly. Also the 8 knobs are automatically mapped to the Gadget knobs. IMHO this is the mobile composing dream team and even without any cables.
Getting back into gadget after a long love/hate relationship, all thanks to the amazing Darwin. Here’s the dilemma: do I get the nanokeys studio or do I use KB-1 on my iPhone as a controller? With KB-1 I have chord pads, drum pads, arp, repeat, and severa other goodies, Which can easily be saved as a gadget preset. what I don’t have is tactile control and the phone is small. How worth it is it?
Did you purchase all of the IAPs in Module, including the discontinued Organ one before it was discontinued? I consider those as part of the Gadget "infrastructure". Did you purchase DeeMax?
No, I didn’t. Korg Gadget 2 for desktop includes everything and costs 299 and I always thought buying things separately on iOS would be roughly the same but I never did the math.
Using an iPhone and additionally to the small screen even switching between KB-1 and Gadget must be a torture. I think buying the NKS will be a great relief. The pads of the NKS are chord pads for synths and drum pads for drum gadgets. In chord mode they are always 7th chords - no way to change that. The NKS also has an arp that is in sync with Gadget‘s tempo. The knobs‘s mappings depends on the gadget. Keys and pads are velocity sensitive. The keys are enough for some playing but they won‘t make a keyboarder happy but still a huge improvement over an on-screen keyboard. I think the NKS is a must have for any Gadget user. It is very portable. Unfortunately Korg‘s config app is only for desktop but it‘s real value is that you can create custom CC mappings. For use with Gadget that‘s irrelevant.
Unstable for sure, i cant imagine pulling off a live set. NXT as well, very bumpy ride but amazing as well
Agree, if I’d be using Gadget exclusively on iPhone I’d definitely get a NKS.
I mostly work on my my iPad and don’t feel the urge (+ too lazy) to get my NKS out
I should clarify I’m using it on my iPad controlling it with KB-1 which is on my iPhone.
Yep Gadget for desktop is a lot more affordable so long as one has a desktop pc/Mac. 😂 For iPad, even with me purchasing most things during sales, the total cost probably totals near $1000 if not a little higher than.
The reason I invested so much in the "Gadget infrastructure" is how stable it is and easy to use for me to make most types of music. (I've even made Ambient in it despite the reverb IFX being of "poor" quality).
I think the expressiveness of the velocity and the tactile interface is worth taking it out. I also hate recording on-screen knob movements. But surely this is a matter of personal taste.
Yes, velocity input is a big plus when using the NKS, I truly miss that with the on-screen keys.
On-screen knob movements works for me (Knob Gesture set to Linear). I don’t like the idea that the NKS knobs transmit half resolution, not good for my filter sweeeepz
