Hot, sweaty and very draining.
@Crawlingwind
Wow. Must have been a great time. Are you an iOS developer now?
@rs2000 - Nah, just a app fiend like everybody else here. At Borland I was Inventory Control Analyst and later Paradox Tech Support. Lived in Santa Cruz by the beach, played in bands, loved my job. It was a good era for me!
the ims-20 gadget allows piping audio from any track?
do spill please @Samu
Yes, there is a track input setting on the patch bay. Bottom left corner. A little hidden. Hit the wire input a menu pops up. Very cool stuff.
Gadget with midi out to AUM is pretty sweet. I’m really enjoying it.
Yep and also great being able to create presets while on the go with the iPhone and share with Gadget on the Ipad
These additional Gadget capabilities combined with the Nanokey Studio have now moved us to an OP-1-on-steroids type level. Only we didn't have to pay a $300-$400 premium on top of an already expensive platform:)
Thanks @Eclipxe that is very cool. Looks like learning ims-20 is next on my list.
I understood. I just answered more than you asked. To be clear: no, the factory Gadget presets do not show up in the standalone. Yes, Synth presets you create in the standalone do show up in the User folder in Gadget. Maybe you were looking in the Factory folder? Or, maybe you saved a session preset rather than a synth preset? At any rate, it works for me, so it should for you.
I'm a big Gadget fan and a major investor (in the app ecosystem). So far I'd have to sum up my reaction as: meh.
Really nice improvements for sure. And they'd be much more appreciated if they'd have come out over a year ago as a point release. But as a v2 that comes so long after the v1 it's falling short, especially given the many noted shortcomings that have been discussed in this forum and elsewhere - many of which SEEM super simple to accommodate (e.g., volume for metronome).
Side note: I would've purchased iMS-20 and PolySix if they were available for my iPhone. Instead, I'm not spending any more money on Gadget. That said, I will still be using it and enjoying it and making songs with it. Satisfied. But not thrilled.
@SlowwFloww
Ahh, OK, here’s the difference. If you’re in select mode, then notes move by the offset. But if you’re in draw mode they snap to the grid. Odd UX design for sure, but quantize of individual notes is possible.
Just took some time to make user presets for taipei for the moogs and drc and pads and noir. Awesome.
that’s a definite plus point for the Gadgetised version of the iMS20. I didn’t even think to look as l assumed signal in (and the envelope follower) would only function on ‘in gadget’ signal sources (much as it is in iMS20). That envelope follower can lead to fantastic rhythmic crazyness.

Here is the response I received from KORG (Japan):
”Hello,
Thank you for contacting us.
Upgrade price is depends on when the user bought Gadget 1.
(There is a grace period for those bought Gadget 1).
You bought Gadget 1 on 2018/08/23, so the price is $99.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
KORG app team”
So apparently there are different tiers of upgrade pricing.
I can't say that I've ever heard of multiple upgrade tiers. Usually there's just something like "people who bought this within two months of the release date get it free or at reduced cost." I think they've done some cool stuff with Gadget 2, but $100 still seems a little pricey (to me) for what is still a "secondary DAW".
I'd feel better if the other two gadgets (Otori and Ebina?) had made it for this launch and I was getting them as well. My completely uneducated hunch is that Mac and PC Gadget 2 owners will ultimately get them for free, but that might be more a hope.
What’s rubbing me the wrong way with this is the comment from another person who also contacted KORG. He said that people who bought the app just last month get the upgrade for free, people in December get the $49 fee, and users who bought this software a long time ago get to pay the most. How does a company prioritize someone who literally just bought the app?
That’s actually very typical for desktop software. It’s to keep people who just bought it from feeling ripped off for paying full ride for an outdated version. It also helps to keep people from holding off buying things near the end of the current version lifespan.
Of course it doesn’t go down well for the people who bought at the beginning, but I guess the positive way to think of it is in terms of the useful lifetime. Of the app. Prolly doesn’t help you feel better, but that’s the rationale, and it’s not at unusual outside of the iOS ecosphere.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Hadn’t thought about it like that. Thanks for the perspective (but yeah, still not sure I’m dropping another $99 on this one).
I sure wouldn’t. Not even $49. There’s just not enough there IMO.
I haven’t used Gadget in a long while, but I noticed there are more presets than I remember. Was there always a Factory 2 preset folder?
It was added a few updates ago
Still no song loop eh?
I would say: Most likely not. iMS-20 has a few more features than Dublin (HPF, FM, RM) and if you're a preset guy then the added iMS-20 presets might be useful, but Dublin plus Chiangmai plus track EQ and filters are close-enough contenders IMHO and make iMS-20 "obsolete enough" for me. If I get it right, in Gadget you only get the iMS-20 synth engine anyway, right?
iPolysix might sound a wee bit different to iMono/Poly and again, if it's only for the different presets then go for it, but I'd say there's hardly anything in iPolysix you can't achieve in iMonoPoly sonically.
I prefer to limit the amount of synths in order to not be distracted by learning to program more synths than I really need.
If I really had to choose I'd go for iMS-20.
Edit: And audio input / routed from tracks to iMS-20 ("Memphis") in Gadget sounds interesting :)

Can ims-20 sound like this?

I don’t need anymore t-shirts but I need to find that Elite one.
Logically in the real world that makes sense.
I guess the point about software makes sense as well.
Since no stores or real interaction occurs.
Which is actually a great analogy for the disconnect seen and felt throughout the world today when interacting.
Logic and relationships are no longer the norm..............
Anyone else having trouble with the saturator effect? It works fine on my old iPad but does nothing on my newer iPhone with the latest iOS installed.
Well, lots of ‘under the hood’ improvements.. It runs smooth as a baby’s butt.. Don’t seem to drain battery.. Love it..
A couple of youtube playlists that are pretty good for finding learning about what you can do with an MS-20
