UK Garage jam in Korg Gadget
Thought i'd have a go at a UK Garage style track in Gadget. Everything 100% Gadget - in fact just 6 Gadgets (London, Wolfburg, ChiangMai, Kiev, Miami and an Abu Dhabi preset).
Put this together from scratch in under 2 hours. Arranged live by hitting mute and solo over a couple of scenes.
Let me know what you think if you get a chance to listen...

What the hell?
Whoshit?
Can we compare it to your tunes? Can we have a link please?
Nice work matt, bline is good, beats nice and tight..never tried UKG before, the beat patterns kind of elude me lol
Ha ha. Thanks guys.
@songmoodist - do you mean you don't like it (fair enough) or you don't believe it took 2 hours (thanks, I'm flattered, but I promise that's all the time I spent on it)?
Thanks very much @touchconspiracy Yep. I read and article on UKG beat patterns in ComputerMusic magazine and basically copied the pattern from that. Then the rest just got done.
That's what I was wondering...
Cool track Matt, I learned a thing or two!
Thanks @Littlewoodg - Keiv is my new best friend
.
Great track Matt - no idea how you did some of the sounds in that one but they all work together really well.
For your next challenge I'd like you to tackle some prog rock...
@monzo - prog rock. A genre that has almost entirely passed me by, I'm ashamed to say.
That would take a little more than 2 hours I think.
Yep Kiev is pretty special, the kind of thing you'd see as a indie VST, makes me see Korg in a nice light, like they get it/us
@Matt_Fletcher_2000 not my bag, but well-executed in the van of that luggage. Grateful for the Kiev nod though. Have a boring couple of hours to spend watching kids racing around the track in circles and Kiev might help take up the time Attack doesn't...
I thought you liked Attack - has the excitement wore off already?
Thanks @JohnnyGoodYear - The funny thing about Kiev is i reckon a lot of the samples in it (maybe all of them) are from the M1. They've got the same names if you look.
So mangling the more interesting sounds in iM1 has always been possible in Gadget - and in fact Keiv lets you do this in much easier and more interesting ways (than iM1 / Darwin) in my opinion because it lets you merge 4 sounds together and also apply any of the 24 Gadget effects. I guess Darwin and Keiv are very different beasts - but from the same lineage.
No, I do like it. Lots to add, especially (for me) in the pattern/song construction (must have selected looping!) and as indicated, for my purposes, automation, but much of my initial value ascription (wha???) currently seems to be associated with 'will this get me something I can use in Bilbao?' and the answer here, already, is fer sure.....
Interesting. Makes sense. Harvest your babies etc. I will take a look at this. SOTMC has had me thinking so much about Real Songs (tm) that I'm looking forward to just going back and making some noise for awhile....
I'm all romantic about "indie VST" and it's the same waves from M1...funny. Someone here about a noted that all the gadgets in Gadget are just different windows into one single big synth engine, and one with decades of Korg software pedigree
Was his first attempt mate, and its a pretty good one. I really hate it when a genre has to be defined by exact processes
Do u make UKG on ios? Cause this is the only track I've heard and want to hear more..
@songmoodist Thanks for the tips. As @touchconspiracy said it was my first attempt in a spare 2 hours. The beat pattern was copied from a magazine and I didn't sequence any variations. Just did a live loop jam. For fun really.
Anyway - thanks for advice. To be honest I would need to listen to the genre more. I normally make kind of liquid drum and bass type stuff.
Edit ... And thanks for listening...
Creating chunks to use in Gadget's a tempting thought. I haven't closed the door in this one yet (and look how long I spent impaled on the fence before relenting and nabbing iM1). The song structure issues don't bother me too much as I tend to put things together in a DAW anyway.
Yeah, still interested.
You have good insight, good things to suggest and say. Always very welcome. Be even more welcome if you can hold back a little from one word "bullshit" answers
We've all got plenty to offer, and it seems to work out better when we take a breath and give the other guy a little respect etc.
Nice one. Made me feel happy......and my good wife & that takes something! Great stuff. Thanks.
I'd like to read a forum thread of all these 'good ladies' talking behind the scenes (and good gentlemen, as and when applicable).
Maybe I wouldn't. Could be a harsh wake-up call: "Well, better than a trollop and a Ferrari, that's the way I look at it..."
I'd like to suggest that dissing others music on here should be grounds for a warning from the moderators..unless of course the disser can prove themselves a better producer and share links..
So far, I think Matt is the only iOS producer to have presented a garage track and its a refreshing change for me
Most of us regulars know Matt's the Gadget King and certainly one of the best music makers on here.
He has my respect anyway - I wouldn't worry - there's always some eejit looking to make trouble - I took a bit of a battering in a thread a few days ago but generally things are good on here.
It's easy to give negative criticism - but so much less impressive than having the balls to share your work.
Thanks @touchconspiracy , but people are entitled to 'diss' I think. It's healthy to have opinions and criticism.
I find that good manners tend get you further in life... (first post) but then I found the second post quite interesting/useful.
And pleased people take the time to listen and comment TBH...
Garage though:
AND!!!!
This is apparently 'post-dubstep' - so therefore Garage influenced... And at 130BPM... Anyway, it's great I think. Have a listen:
Edit: No! Not that:
This:
Ok, here's some garridge for ya! When I was djing in Denver Colorado, I was on the promo list for this label (L2S) which is owned by Subfm head honcho whistla. They coined it future garage, some call it post Dubstep, but whateva, it's bloody bass music lol
This producer, submerse is great, I tell u
Agreed mate, true words, respect
