I've used Gadget for 10 years, so I mostly know which is which. Not gonna lie I still sometimes get mixed up. 😂
Yeah that naming convention is a small headache. 😂
The Stockholm Gadget at least celebrate Stockholm as the city in the world with most music tech company per capita in the world...
There's always the cheat sheet:

Thanks bookmarked.
I've only just typed up and printed off a word doc cheat sheet. I included the Moogerfoogers too
…Including Reason Studios, who developed the .REX loop format used by the Stockholm Gadget.
To be correct - the company was named Propellerheads AB back then...

Superb!
right now, I'm confused and surprised at the same time…
I had Gadget 1 in 2013 and loved it. Made a few tracks that actually landed on vinyl. At times it was my bed guitar
I recently got a new iPad and thought I might get back into it
What confused me: I could download Gadget 3 for free, doesn't this program cost something? Did they automatically update me to Gadget 3 for free? Maybe I bought Gadget 2 and I forgot? I don't think so
Can I load up my old Gadget 1 tracks into Gadget 3? I need to dust off my old iPad mini 2, I hope the battery is still working
This is how the iOS app system works. As long as Korg update the primary app, all those updates are free. The only way for a dev to monetise new versions is to release them as completely separate apps or to release the updates as IAPs.
In the case of Gadget the core app updates have been free, but obviously any new Gadgets have been released as IAPs.
Yeah, every owner of v1 of Korg Gadget can for free install Gadget v3…
Korg earn the money on this from the great in-app-purchases in form of new Gadgets…
So, everything made in v1 can be taken in on v3 of Korg Gadget…
Respect to Korg once again… Thanks for the info!
It seems like I lost iWavestation, though. I remember buying this with my account within gadget, I guess. I have to check. It was quite some time ago
@pseudophysics I have Gadget 2 running on my Mini 2 so that should work too. Old projects can be loaded.
You lost iWavestation? Have you tried the "Restore" function in Gadget's instrument list?
I had to use that a few times in the past.
I think you have to download iWavestation from the App Store first, then it should work within Gadget. It's a standalone synth that can also work within Gadget.
Anybody in the know about what hits the Auv3 update next?
Pretty sure it will be iWavestation - this one as hardware was, as many know, enormous popular from 1990 and forward…
Seems like the “Durban Bass Effect processor” inside Gadget has a bug affecting the AMP and CAB. I can’t hear them do anything to the sound when switched on.
They are working normally in Rosario, so it’s only the Durban gadget having this bug (it worked fine in the past).
Checked on both my iPhone and iPad.
Which also reminded me about the fact that none of the Gadget Effects are available as AUv3's...
Hopefully we'll get some stuff from Korg soon, be it bug-fixes or new apps...
...still missing proper AUv3 automation when the Gadgets are used with LogicPro for iPad...
Confirmed by Korg support, hopefully fixed in a future update.
By Thor, I despise that header: "New Korg Update" makes me jump of expectation, every time (I'm old and memories are short lived🤣)
Just got Korg Gadget last week, and I’m only now getting around to playing with Miami. Is this phasing effect an inherent part of the oscillators? It makes things sound livelier when I’m mixing more than one oscillator, since different waveforms and tunings mean that they phase in and out at varying lengths and intensities. But depending on how I have the patch set up, the sound can still completely cut out briefly. Here is an example with just the carrier oscillator. No sub, no xmod, no wobble, no filter, no crush, no stereo, no glide. I picked square since that’s where the effect seems to be at its strongest.
Also, what is the worst gadget, and why is it Brussels? Seriously, this one brings nothing to the table that you can’t easily accomplish with Wolfsburg. Technically, I could say the same about Helsinki, but I do have a soft spot for lofi pads so I give that one a pass.
Gadgets are geared toward people who aren't synth heads to whom it comes naturally to craft sounds in synths with varying architectures and approaches. The emphasis is on their vibe, not on what's under the hood.
I saw “Korg” and “AU update” and got excited until I saw the thread date . Dammit 😂
I’m probably just hating on it because I’m not fond of the thing that it’s good at lol. Also, they could have at least let us control the rate of the Pump & Repeat, like with the Wobble in Miami.
Like I said, I vibe with Helsinki which is pretty hypocritical of me haha.

Yeah same here .. this exhumation of years old threads with post totally unrelated to main topic should be considered as crime against humanity
Anyone have some insight into this Miami thing, though? I’m finding that I have to design my patches around this quirk. Like I’d be perfectly happy with the sound I have, but then end up having to dial in a more agressive sub-osc, x-mod, crush, or wobble to mitigate the sound of the oscillator thinning out every few seconds. Most effectively, I just switch waveforms from square to either saw or pulse, since square seems to have this effect the worst.
Yeah, if you put the stereo knob to the max it's better
Wow I didn’t even think of that. It’s a night and day difference lol. Thanks.
Is this that phase cancellation thing I sometimes hear about in music production?
