Pushing Gadget's Drum Machines

Happy New Year all.

Since the release of Elastic drums and all the effect-tastic functionality it has ive found myself experimenting much more with the drum gadgets in Korg Gadget.

Essentially it was: "wow, its cool what ED lets you effect and automate - but it ends up as a rendered loop. I wonder how far I can push drum effect automation inside Gadget and keep it all editable".

So to share:

• Grain shifting drums in London = glitchy fun

• Messing with short delay on drums in London is great. Also to some extent long delay.

• I realised you can automate the start and length parameters on all samples in Bilbao the other day.

• Try assigning these parametres to an X-Y pad on a Korg Nanopad or using midi over Bluetooth with a midi controller app on a second device.

Much automation fun to be had. Which can then be manually tweaked afterwards.

Anyone have any other tips in this area?

Edit: remember also you can only use 1 effect at a time (bit of a bummer) but you can automate the switching of effects quite nicely at any point. (There's probably some potential of creative uses of this happening very quickly too).

Export a drum clip then import into Abu Dhabi and you can not only remix it but double up on the effects as well.
