Really appreciate hearing those that are not into sound design and being ok with it. If it sounds good, you have fun and time for a nice meal after, bet. Too much pressure on trying be this or that. Just create. Thank you for this.
Gadget is incredible, if you love the sound of synthesizer music then this is the way to go I absolutely love it, plus I like creating my own instrumentals entirely from scratch, not using loops and samples but actually playing everything yourself
This is pretty much my exact sentiments on why I like gadget so much. And why I think most don’t like gadget because they need or prefer using loops. No shade, just that workflow AINT FOR ME 😎
@@Khordmaster back In the 90s as a teenager I relied on loops because I don’t actually play instruments but now that I am older and have access to some amazing software synths if I’m patient I can usually figure out how to play what I’m hearing in my head well enough to get a good take recorded
Oh whoa I just randomly came across your video and noticed you played my tune!! First of all awesome video + channel and thanks for the plug 🙇🏻🙇🏻🙇🏻 Obviously a huge Chrono Trigger fan myself haha.
My favourite gadget is the new Fairbanks. And Milpitas. And Montpellier. I guess all of them, though I still need to learn the REX player. My top 3 feature requests: - remote collaboration features, versioning, like in Splice Studio. - a smart way to do anacrusis or pickup-bars instead of adding a whole new row and fidgeting with uneven barcounts - be able to record on zurich while controlling external synth with pompei (both physical and on iPad, like in AUM with mosaic and some awesome effects) - bonus: a track for the master, like in Garageband. Now if you record automation in the mixer, you are stuck with it and can not edit it. - bonus 2: just release all gadgets and the sequencer as Auv3 separates, like on Windows in VST. - bonus 3: discounts for owners in one environment for another. Gadget is on iPad, Mac, Nintendo Switch, coming to Oculus Quest and as a collection of VSTs on Windows. Yes, I would like them all. Already own two. But dont want to pay the same as a first time customer.
Appreciate the review, recently got into music producing on my switch and decided to expand into producing on my iPad, will definitely be checking out more of your stuff. I’m from the UK and currently teach English in Japan. I’m going to have a lot of free time coming up this year so I’m planning on putting it to use! Cheers!
Very relaxed review, I agree fully with you, the visual presentation of the app is something that I also find very well executed, it is fun making music on Korg Gadget 2, did you know you can get it for your Nintendo Switch also?
Hey man I really appreciate you tuning in! And yeah absolutely I heard about it. Haven’t really had a reason to check it out tho lol. Have you checked it out
Dope! And appreciate that my man. I’m waiting on/hoping for a gadget 3 or an update to 2 … If you’re on discord feel free to join my community there! discord.gg/Udd3zcnmay
Great vid! I’ve been dabbling with Gadget (and Module) on the side for awhile now and it’s workflow pushes my music in a different direction that I enjoy. One thing you stated kinda gave me an “Aha!” moment. The vertical arrangement scheme is initially confusing, but it actually makes WAY more sense in quick part based arrangements. You will have more instruments than parts in your song. The screen real estate (like all screens) favors the width. If you want to see 8 tracks and 4 song parts, you want the tracks to occupy the horizon (the width) and the parts to occupy the vertical (the height). It seems so obvious now, as before it was like “WTF are you doing!?”. Point being, thanks for helping me see the light.
You've summed up many of my feelings. I've been using Gadget since 2016 and it is my favourite app to make music on, agree about allowing external apps in, there is the midi module but I find it less good to use as I have remember which external app I had it linked to etc. I would also love more effects, or effects gadgets that you can route through
Sup! Yeah I think part of what makes gadget so good is that it IS all inclusive and works so well because no other apps can interface/interfere with it... Personally my current thoughts about Gadget would be it would be dope if it had some quality of life improvements such as duplicate pattern. and the ability to change the background to different colors. and I still would like AUV3 support!
Hey thanks for sharing! Your tunes sound great! You could input the gadget into a computer software DAW such as ableton and then keep working on it ! Or run it through some FX boxes for fun. I love making loops on gadget and definitely feel like I got my money worth from the app. It is so fun!
Hello Kevin, cool video Great features enjoyed the video and subscribed and liked 👍 thanks Owner of most of the extra gadgets and next I would like the gadgetized Polysix, ARP ODYSSEI and iMONO/Poly.👏 One thing I could not figure out in Gadget is how to apply the volume fade function to an individual channel! Am wondering if there is a fade function for individual channels? The fade function almost seems as if to function as automation on master channel. The fade function curves the volume of the sound. The fade function is applied to all the channels. I highly rate Gadget, maybe I missed the single channel fade function ? P.S. Korg wish list, maybe KORG will Gadgetize “ ELECTRIBE ” adding it to gadgets compatible list! 😎 👍
The latest update from Gadget mentioned it fixed the soundcloud login bug. ✅ Side note regarding a separate app, The GarageBand 🎸 app now for me seems to have a bug with soundcloud login!?
@@Khordmaster My bad. You're right. It used to be the case in a previous version that changing the name was super simple. Alternatively though, just open up the Files app and do it there.
@@Khordmaster That's another great point about Gadget, it lends itself to a lot of experimentation and because it emulates hardware, users can get educated in a lot of music production concepts without needing to spend thousands of dollars on real hardware.
Man the Milpitas is one of my top gadgets for sure ! Has a randomizer that I’m in love with 😍 that sega genesis drum machine is pretty nice also + nice vid
Did you also get gadget on the Switch? You can export your songs to the iPad by generating QR code’s I like how the switch version has an option to create a song from a loop by just pressing a button
@@Khordmaster yeah there was indeed an update. Although it still misses a lot of features and gadgets that are in the full version. But still is a cool Switch app
Khordmaster, Thanks for introducing the feature of GadgetCloud, do you think someone can take my song and just use it? I could not find any copyright wordings on Korg.
@@Khordmaster yea this is how I used it u gotta load the app in standalone the pull up Taipei on the right of it it should be like a output or input and the standalone name should be in there click on that then it’s sounds will be playable on the Taipei keyboard
@@DaSpittinImage that’s dope! But then is there a way to record that audio in? I’m assuming gadget doesn’t remember which AUV3 is being used so you would have to pull it up every time right?

Great review overall. And it's awesome you explained your thoughts on what you'd like to see improved.
I hear you on the AUv3 gadget.
Thanks bro! And maybe one day .... 🙂
AUM is my go to au is becoming the new standard
Lol I feel you. I am unsure if I will ever use AUM as the sketch pad that I kinda need it to be to use it the way I want to
I have quite a few DAW’S, Gadget is definitely my favorite. The Gadget Taipei let you use AUV-3.
Great to know! I’m gonna have to experiment with that a bit
@@Khordmaster Check some of the videos on Taipei.
Dope

I think gadget work best with electribe 2 and Kross 2
Name can be changed by touching the name. Use the midi out in conjunction with an auv3 host to control your external synths. Done.
Haha imma have to try these both out immediately
Touching the name where? I can only change it when I’m creating a new project, not once it’s been created. Unless I’m doing it wrong
@@Khordmaster My bad. You're right. It used to be the case in a previous version that changing the name was super simple. Alternatively though, just open up the Files app and do it there.
@@Khordmaster That's another great point about Gadget, it lends itself to a lot of experimentation and because it emulates hardware, users can get educated in a lot of music production concepts without needing to spend thousands of dollars on real hardware.
Do you know how to use protools?
Nah not a protools user bro
I fidget iOS and windows
4:15 XD
Hahahahaha 😂😂😂
Man the Milpitas is one of my top gadgets for sure ! Has a randomizer that I’m in love with 😍 that sega genesis drum machine is pretty nice also + nice vid
Thanks!!!! I gotta check both of those out!

Hmmmmm they must have finally implemented some important updates. I skipped it because at the time there was no way to export songs 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
@@Khordmaster yeah there was indeed an update. Although it still misses a lot of features and gadgets that are in the full version. But still is a cool Switch app
I agree! I keep coming back to Gadget and wish it could use Auv3 plugins
Thanks for great review...I actually didn't know about the SoundCloud option
Appreciate you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
So do I! The volume level is high and quality is a phenomenon. Perhaps is Apple's IPad proxessor...
WORD!
Bro, I clicked on this video cause I thought you were Reggie Miller. Do you get that alot?
This is hilarious!!! Lmao it’s the ears! Had to share this on my Instagram 😭
@@Khordmaster LOL man, you got the voice too lol. I had to really look closer at my screen man lol. Im like man Im tweekin.
Darwin my favorite
‼️‼️
Khordmaster, Thanks for introducing the feature of GadgetCloud, do you think someone can take my song and just use it? I could not find any copyright wordings on Korg.
That’s a great question. And one that I’m not too sure about 😅
Gadget good for yamaha blue midi 5 pin for Kross 2 or electribe 2
Got electribe wave and module
Hey man, can I add guitar and real bass to these track inside the gadget DAW.... or can I use Gadget in reaper and garageband also
You can def add real sounds in there … they have a Gadget for that!
This very unrelated i just cant find any answers in the internet, does korg microkey air woks on ipad os 14? Thank you
I don't own that MIDI keyboard myself but if I have to guess I would say there is no reason why it wouldn't work on iPad OS14.
I love gadget, how often do they update?
Me too! Rarelyyyy…wondering if they have anything in the pipeline
You can use gadget in AUM along with the AUE's and such. To delete the old version of a song go to files / gadget etc..
Great to know!! I need to sit down for a day and learn AUM 😅
Then korg mixer
I love gadget !@
Me too!! Favorite gadget?!
Great review
Thanks bro!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for this 👍
You’re very welcome!
It’s a machine called tapei in there that hosts auv3 as long as the standalone is open first
I’m still trying to figure out how to use Taipei with AUV3 synths. Any tips??
@@Khordmaster yea this is how I used it u gotta load the app in standalone the pull up Taipei on the right of it it should be like a output or input and the standalone name should be in there click on that then it’s sounds will be playable on the Taipei keyboard
@@DaSpittinImage that’s dope! But then is there a way to record that audio in? I’m assuming gadget doesn’t remember which AUV3 is being used so you would have to pull it up every time right?
