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…

It’s a very fun groove box on steroids

If you can get along with the simple sequencer (very normal piano roll sequencer that can easily record what you play and with some other integrated features), this could be your best musical friend. It costs a bit to turn the whole thing on but you don’t need to buy it all (I started off telling myself that at least) and the stuff that comes with it even using no iaps, it is killer for a groove box.
But all the presets and in app purchases from all the Korg apps come back and work in here. There’s a version of all of their iOS synths and they are even all auv3s now (each individual instrument on its own, not Gadget as one, and you can’t bring auv3s into Gadget, just fwiw)
If you happen to own the sick and awesome Korg keystage as your midi controller or are contemplating purchasing one, this is THE WAY. Every little dial, transfer control and digital screen automatically assigns and works with Gadget 3 AND with Module.
This and Module are super powerful with Korg keystage as your midi keyboard/controller. That integration is what drove me to finally write a review for this app I’ve been using for many years happily.
