I really wish Korg had made this a full package purchase that wouldn’t cost even more money later on. I would love to be able to delete the synths and drum machines I don’t own, but they show up in my AUv3 lists anyway. Korg please fix this.

Great App, BUT

Great app, but occasionally it tells me the in-app purchases are unavailable and then I have to restore them. That creates a reliance on the internet. I know internet is very common, but please fix this. The other apps that connect to Korg Gadget lose their in-app purchases too and I have to click restore. I've purchased all the Korg Gadget gadgets and the Korg apps that add gadgets to the Korg Gadget app. I should never have to restore purchases on devices that I have been using these apps on for a very long time.

Gadget ist klasse, aber…

der Support so mies. Ich bin nicht kleinlich, wenn es um Bezahlung von Software geht. Aber wer hier wirklich das volle Programm will, zahlt weit mehr als in einer ausgereiften DAW mit allen Extras auf Windows, Mac. Und dann bekommt man eben eine Software, die seit Jahren kaum weiterentwickelt wird. Automation ja, aber nur begrenzt. Datenaustausch von Presets zwischen Gadget Plugins und AUV3 nicht möglich, da fehlt dann der Pfad zum wav bzw. Rex File! Die Liste ließe sich noch fortsetzen…
