KORG Gadget 3

I may be a Korg fan, owning Korg gear since 1992 (Korg M1 at the time, the original!) but I didn't dream that I will be able to have a full Korg studio... Well, in my pocket! I started using Gadget on my iPad 4, then it got better with my iPad Air 2, and then on my iPhone 6+... Couldn't believe it when Gadget 2.0 went universal! Now I able to make music with top-notch Korg sounds anywhere - and I mean anywhere you can take your phone with you! 😊 I strongly recommend Korg Gadget for anyone who fancies making good quality music on their mobile iOS device... You won't be disappointed! 😊

I’ve had many DAW’s on my iPad, but I keep coming back to this one. So compared to the others, I absolutely love the simplicity and creativity of getting back to the foundation of writing music. No tricks and sub routine programs to remember. Just straight up, let’s work! Very easy, which is how I like it. I own I believe just about all the Gadgets and love every one of them. Each unique in it own way. Graphics are beautiful in an old school kind of way, something I understand perfectly! Sounds are fantastics and I’m never lost. It doesn’t have a dozen screens to jump thru every time you want to do something. It doesn’t have complicated routings to take into consideration. And I can’t remember it ever crashing either. I say stop listening to all the hype producers put out about needing this auv3 module or effect just to get the perfect sound. The perfect sound is based on what you put into it, no magic box to remedy your production. A simplistic but incredibly powerful app is what it is. I like to refer to it as a writer’s app that will allow you to finish your product! No disappointments here. Thanks Korg. PS. The New Santa Ana and Sydney gadgets are truly amazing and a super useful addition to this app. Just awesome!

What happened? This app has always been so stable, but now it’s pausing and freezing very often. And it’s not just device related. I have iPad Pros 12.9 (M1), 11 (M2) and a Mini 6. This behavior is happening on all of them.

The app has really intuitive gadgets and controls, and the UI is really nice looking. There are a bunch of gadgets that are for purchase even after you buy the base app, but they are worth the money in my opinion. I’m using it with the Korg Nanokey Studio in native mode and it just works with no issue. I was using GarageBand to dabble in music creation, but that has bad midi support, so I’ve entered the gadget 3 ecosystem and so far, I do not regret it.

Hi, love Korg gadget, wanted to know if there is a way to sync old tracks from an old device to a new. I’ve been holding on to my old iPad because I have many tracks that aren’t on my new device. How to take a back up and load it onto a new device with all songs/tracks.

Love Lex, etc. GADGET 3is nice i would like to see MIXER automation, extremely useful synths, including incredible skeuomorphic application of Gui, njoy the hařdware integration of Nano Studio is greatly appreciated again, MIXER AUTOMATION, CHEERS 🙌✅🙏

The Dopest Music Software on iOS for apple ptoducts!!!!!!! , Get an iPad Pro people!!!!!

The manual doesn’t explain the interface at all, the beginners manual doesn’t allow you to try to experiment, and constantly resets to the beginning of the tutorial. The “help” shows answers for all the gear Korg makes. And gives lousy answers. Doesn’t seem to integrate with Audiobus.

The sounds are great in Gadget but 2 things are needed to make the app better: 1. Create a linear method of recording which is traditionally the normal way of recording and allow users to choose which method they want to record in. 2. Allow users to select what key their song should be in. 3. Put key features like key signature, tempo, metronome, play, rewind, etc. in an easy to find and select transport. Stop trying to reinvent the wheel and let users simply open Gadget and get to recording instead of them trying to figure out how to operate what should be simple, straightforward tasks. Thanks for listening and including these features in your future updates. -AprilRox, Pro Recording Engineer.
