Korg Gadget Beginner Tutorial

- Wuddup wudduppppp! So Korg Gadget 2 is my favorite iOS music making app. It is so intuitive and the vertical workflow just works perfectly for me. The sounds are great, and it's extremely stable and makes it easy to get ideas down quick!
Korg just released a new update to Gadget 2 (and their Korg Module app which I will be making a vide on very soon) so I figured it was a good time for me to do an overview video highlighting my workflow and share some of the new features.
Hope you enjoy!

![IOS Korg Gadget 3 - Ultimate Guide - Everything you need to know - Tutorial 1 [Getting started]](/img/n.gif)
I bought this app a long time ago, being a Korg keyboard fan, but as an old timer I was overwhelmed with the complexities here. Your short video has opened my mind and allowed me to actually use this. Great job Kevin!!
Really appreciate this comment bro!
Found this on Reddit. I just started with Gadget and I love all the info!
Enjoy it broooo! Let me know if you have any questions 😎
I love Korg gadget. Nice video!
Me tooooooooo! I'm really excited I just figured out an easy way to livestream my iPad on TH-cam. It's going down! 😎
Excellent review. I also love Korg Gadget because you can put ideas really quickly. My only complain is that the audio export is still 16bit 44.1... I mean they could improve that. Another thing is that you can’t playback from the middle of the loop when you want to do some testing, so you need to start again from the beginning. But in my experience, I can compose melodies and grooves on the fly :)
All good points. I didn't realize they only exported in that format! For me some sequencing tweaks such as live launcher like in Ableton would be amazing!
@@Khordmaster That’s right. Also, you can’t import midi clips as you do within ableton :( I try to work with different sources within a composition rather than using just only one device. On the other hand, the sounds in there are pretty solid and you can combine pretty much anything without having big issues as phase cancellation and stuff like that (off course, you can use more advanced features for that or export the project as an ableton file to work on it further).
Korg gadget 2 is the app that really got me into producing music. I was really intimidated by other DAWs and programs at first but this app really made sense to me. I havent used Gadget in the past month or two but I love returning to it.
I just wish i could import drum breaks into the Stockholm gadget, for some reason it doesn't work on the PC/Mac version 🤷♂️. The update with the new gadget looks sweet!
Wuddup broo!!! Yeah man this app is really good! People sleep on it but I love it!!!
This was the app that got me into music production on the iPad to. It is very stable because everything is in house. Love this app
@@BIG1TOWER very true! Just wish i had an iPad because it seems to be more intuitive and has better integration with the iPad hardware. Also the new update only works with the iPad version. Beaides that the PC/Mac version seems to work okay, I encounter a few bugs here and there.
I love KORG's gadget and gadget 2 and I've used both... some of the stuff is up on my channel. this is a great introduction to the app! ty!
My favorite iOS app! Thanks for watching!
The thing I love about gadget is that it is perfect to sketch down some ideas but it can also get quite deep... actually you can arrange a full song with some basic knowledge and little effort.
And: if you want the final touch, you can transfer the project in ableton. And: the quality of the gadgets is generally very good.
Underrated, it's a pity that Korg didn't update the app in a long time... did they stop to believe in the project?
Great perspective! I would love so,e quality of life improvements, but i just keep coming back to this app! Its so good!
Just bought it. But there are still gadgets in the list that I still need to buy??? And what updates do you expect? It's super cool
@@davescomputercorner6015 hi, the standard package includes the main gadgets that are enough for the 90% of people. Gadgets that are not included can be purchased separately: some are worth, some not... it's a question of taste and the kind of music you do. I don't know anything about the future of gadget... it's an underrated piece of software that did not succeed in the way korg probably expected.
@@GreenHoleSun Well it succeeded, I bought it last night, as well as one extra one, the DR rex player.
Wonderful review! Well done bro. There is ton of apps, the only thing is which one is suit to our DNA 😅
Thanks dude!!! Yeah man so many to choose from... I’ve learned to try different ones out and see which works best for you 😎
I love Korg Gadget 2 but they feel like the Apple of music apps with how they don’t support AUV3 and make you buy their in app purchase instruments if you want more instruments. Funny enough, I stopped purchasing AUV3 apps because I prefer to stick with Korg’s instruments
Haha... yeah I’m also pretty fully immersed in their legal system but I do feel you on that
I USE THIS ON WINDOWS ITS REALLY AMAZING THE VARIETY IT HAS
Totally! It’s one of mg favorite ways to make music! I love Gadget 👌🏾
It’s very nice, I even have the Switch version. Unfortunately that one doesn’t support MIDI
Gadget rocks . The naysayers despise it for the lamest reasons! It’s so work flow driven and intuitive it’s ridiculous! And the gadgets are amazing! This and an iPad is an excellent alternative to a laptop or standalone workstations ! For my money it kicks ass on all of them . Also Taipei midi device for control of synths etc is incredible. Also effects, and audio recording is supported. It opens in Logic and garage band as well as a plug in folder as well. I will always use this software. Ignoring something this complete and useful is stupid and ignorant. 👽
So we’ll said! This remains my goto music app! I’m keen on understanding how I can use Taipei with auv 3 synths. Is that possible?! That seems to be the only thing missing for me. And I am still figuring out how best to record vocals. For some reason I get I noticeable amount of feedback even with headphone on
@@Khordmaster I am not a fan of AUM I really wish Apple would give us an iOS version of Logic Pro on the iPad Pro . Then everything is available within a real pro daw and is supported because Logic is a standard and vendors recognize the importance of supporting it as much as possible. I love kymaticas AudioShare and the soon to be defunct ( it seems really a shame ) audio bus but the iOS mixer / quote DAW that looks like sliders with pop up nodes everywhere and a porthole to view waves doesn’t get it for me . I want pro apps on my m1 silicon iPad Pro like yesterday. sadly so far Apple think people who use touch devices and not laptop boat anchors aren’t serious artists.I think they need a shrink and a smaller bank account. Lol! And gadget/ Korg are usually keeping pace with Apple and there updates ….some food for thought ! Keep gadget alive and let Korg know it’s very important to those in the know! 👽✌️
@@christoroppolo8742 so well said. And good to know there are others that feel this way. I’m working on getting in touch with the powers that be at Korg to chat with them about some things! Stay tuned
@@Khordmaster anxiously awaiting any and all good news 👽✌️
@@christoroppolo8742 my guy! If you’re on discord feel free to stay connected there: discord.gg/Tc6tdPAETs
Can the midi buttons be turned on simultaneously to listen to the two sounds? Nice video!!
Good q! I’m gonna try later
cant find out how to export the loops, and can I then drag them into, lets say garageband or reaper and stretch them out... only just got this
I am disappointed that the sounds are just called random cities. Would've love to know the actual name of the sounds to find the sound across different DAW's. Or is that not how it works?
The sound engines are titled the cities across the board
Hi, thanks for the vid. Do you know if it's possible to play microtonal music with the korg gadget ?
What’s microtonal music mean?!?!?! In curious
I’m
@@KhordmasterThat's music that uses more than the 12 notes of the piano (12 Tone Equal Temperament). They use the the frequencies in between.
13:40 So that's how you use this app! I had it and deleted it because I could not figure out how to create more patterns
I'm curious now, do the scenes activate according to the next bar etc. like in Ableton? Say I have the Intro pattern that I feel is taking too long and I want to trigger the Chorus pattern, will it trigger on beat like how Ableton does it?
Thanks for tuning in!!!! So it works similarly but it will only switch to the next part at the end of the bar. And you can only play whole rows together. You can’t pick different loops from different rows. Slightly different in that sense
What program are you really distributing? It's beautiful and simple to use. Can you name it, please? I'm following you from Egypt
Thanks for checking in! Are you saying what is the name of this music app? Korg Gadget 2!
Is there a point in buying module if you own gadget? What’s the difference really between the apps?
Gadget is a music making platform... module has many great sounding sounds that you can connect to a midi controller. No production there standalone
Which paid Gadgets do you think worth buying? please guide me.
Sounds like a great idea for a video or a short! Make sure you’re subscribed if you aren’t already
@@Khordmaster Thanks
Good video
Thanks brooooo!!!
U can use this in Aum for ur downloaded external synths etc
Yeah I need to understand how to use AUM. I never really took the time out to grasp it
Also Taipei works. I’ve had synth one running through it. Are you running a mouse through a USB hub🤔 or are u using wireless
@@rabmccudden683 hmmmmm let me check!!!!
just hearing about korg gadget, do we not have full control over the synths? Are we limited to whats in the app (not being able to use third party apps) and limited to only using the presets?
Yep! No way to use other apps within gadget. And now only 1 or 2 gadgets have been made available as an AU. I wouldn't say it's too much of a limitation for me personally because it is just really nice having everything self contained within one all/daw
@@Khordmaster are we able to edit the presets? Or are we stuck with the presets besides adding effects and adjusting release and attack etc?
Oh there's a ton of customization you can do with pretty much every gadget. A lot more than asdr and standard effects 😎
@@Khordmaster hm maybe the le version doesnt let me see that or maybe im too blind to see how to edit the oscilators etc
Maybe that version only has two or three or four different gadgets and perhaps the gadgets that I'm referring to are ones that you need to purchase separately
Is Korg gadget 2 compatible with fab filter plug ins ? Many thanks
Hey! I’m not exactly sure what fab filter is but gadget is not compatible with any 3rd party plugins. Their “gadgets” are pretty fully fledged tho!
No it isn’t. It doesn’t support anything that’s not within its own environment. All of your plugins are useless.
I love korg gadget BUT I HATE that you can’t load external plugins into it. That’s the one thing that keeps me from making it my main daw of choice.
I know!!!! Hopefully one day!
Kiev is in Ukraine....which everyone probably knows by now. But, you did make this well before the war, so....
Kiev is in Ukraine
So I was right! Kinda... lol
@@Khordmaster sure. Guess you’re Canadian? Lol
How many angry Ukrainians in the comments 😬
Haha at least one!
Great tool to build a track, export stems to Cubasis add effects, extra music app sounds (synth master one) add external fx, eq, compress, master and mix down.
That's a smooth work flow. I have to dedicate some more time to learning Cubasis. I tend to shy away from linear daw editing for some reason!
Kevin Allen I must have had cubasis sitting unused on my iPad for well over a year, it seemed a bit intimidating. I hate going through the learning curve.
I decided to tackle it, opened the app, watched a few tutorials while I did some test project and found it way less difficult than expected. I don’t know why I held off for so long now.
Cubasis let’s you run any third party synth, drum machine, groove box and FX inside it
So it’s great to polish the Gadget creations.
Looooooove this. I have a lot of dope ideas in Ableton so my plan is to bring some of those over to Cubasis and finalize some tracks on my iPad. They've been sitting on my computer cuz I didn't have the patience to sit in front of a computer to edit but on an ipad is much Much More my speed. Link with me on ig if you're there: @k_alexperience
Does this "Korg gadget 2"open on GarageBand Ios or just Cubasis?
Nick Beqiri both you just save the creation as wav files and you can import them
Thank you. What I am trying to understand, is if it is possible to record a track using Korg Gadget, and then get it to MIDI control my Waldorf Iridium keyboard, so that I can record the keyboard's output in Logic Pro X. I thought that maybe by muting all the other tracks, other than the one I will record each time. Can you explain if this is possible, and if so, how can I achieve it?
thats a very specific scenario there. I think this is doable but to be completely honest I am not 100% sure since I have yet to try a similar thing. but probably!
How do you share user samples between diff devices? I have gadget on iPad/Phone and desktop. Everything shows up except user samples I used in Bilboa. Really like gadget but the drumsamples suck big time
NOT SURE!
GADGET IS KING !!
Todd knows what he’s talking about clearly!!!
It's round shape
Huh
HAHA.. under the cities is 'Wolfsburg' ... sounds cool, but it is a constructed city built around the VW plant. Not the Mecca of Techno
SAD ITS NOT FOR PC
But if you don’t get you an iPad!!! lol
Thanks for sharing, just heard about the app today, wanted to learn more
You’re very welcome! Make sure you check out my newer video on 5 things I like most about the app. And hit me up if you have any questions!
I got the nanoKey Studio second-hand two weeks ago and bought Gadget 2 yesterday, so I am setting myself up to enjoy the stuff you have owned for so long already. Thanks for your video.
love to hear it!!!!!! hit me in my discord if you have questions!
I discovered and purchased korg im1 app and created my own unique sounds. Can I set the im1 app as a gadget within korg gadget.2 ?
Most certainly! I use it all the time.. im1 is also known as Darwin right?
Loved your video got a lot from it
I love that you loved my video! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why the hell isn't this on android? I had it on iPhone but traded it in for a Samsung
Lol tech limitations? Not worth the investment?
I thought I was at my grandmas house and law and order was coming on.
Lmao time stamp please
Hey Kevin. Have you tried linking Koala Sampler app through the Audiobus app?
Sup pete!! Funny you mention that. I just learned about this recently but haven't had a chance to do a deep dive/video on it yet. From what I've seen so far it seems VERY promising 😎
Next theme song for a fletch movie with chevy chase:: sweet
Haha thanks! I love this track as well! A dope space vibe to me
Russia is not Europe my friend :-)
lmao the more you know!!!
How to take the update on Pc ???
Not too sure about that my man. I've only used the app on my iPad! 🙏🏾
That was awesome. Thanks.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thanks!
You’re welcome!
Great video!
Thanks Remington! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thanks.
I've been thinking this is just a pretty, expensive ROMpler.
Someone said this has just gone AUV3?
The in depth explanation of the project auto-name feature was painful..
Lol I’m all for constructive criticism... i need to know what aspect of it was painful tho 😅 i watched it again and i felt no pain. But to answer your question cord module is now AUv3 but not the gadgets… Yet 🤞🏾
Cool. Hopefully Gadgets goes AUV too. I have a soft spot for Korg..
Yeah, I was a bit harsh. First thing in the morning and hadn't had a coffee hehe. I just wanted to get to the juicy bits, and auto-name feature, though cool, wasn't real juicy. (A two second mention is the feature would have been plenty for me..)
Listening to your geography lesson made me think "its a good job you're so damn good at music".
Hahhhhahhaha thanks. I remember staring at the curtains in my classroom in middle school in all social studies classes including geography and imaging I was watching tv lol.
Kevin Allen, I’m shocked. Thought you’d get an A. Only joking. The videos are great. Thanks for the free knowledge. Oh and Kiev is in the Ukraine, for what it’s worth. Cheers.
@@jamesjross haha A’s and math and science! I have an engineer degree! 😁 ... thanks man, more info to come!
If only they’d update the very basic sequencer. Come on, Pro 24 had a timeline in 1987.
Haha gotta be honest I prefer this to the horizontal timeline! I know I’m in the minority with this lol
The option for having both like in Ableton would be amazing.
