Easy Ableton integration

I have all the Gadgets on my PC as VSTs, so when I open a Gadget project in Ableton it’s all there, automations and everything. This makes it super easy to start projects when the inspiration hits on my iPad, then fine tune them in Ableton. Total game changer!

Excellent

Korg Gadget 3 and Korg Module are the gold standard for musicians looking to create on iPad or iPhone. The sound quality, the sample quality, the layout, the modules each unique design features, it is unparalleled. A must for serious musicians.

Changed my life

I never thought that something could change my life so much. This application has gotten me through some of the hardest and most difficult times in my life. I never knew I was a musician, but now I’m making a song for my son. 10 years of learning piano…. Trying all different applications… this is the one that I will make this song with… thank you developers for creating something that I can go to when I have nowhere to turn… I find love inside of making music… I must sound crazy, but it’s true.. thank you

録画できない

曲を録画して動画を見たら、音が低くなってガサガサした音が混ざったような音になった。

The best mobile DAW ever

It’s just the best software available for iOS. Along with the other Korg apps it fully featured. There’s no better just try.

Korg has done it again!

This is the most fun I’ve had creating Music!

I love KORG

KORG Gadget has given me wings as a musician. I have been using KORG synthesizers since the DS-10 for Nintendo DS, and I especially loved the M01D. KORG Gadget has the best of the old sounds and the most expected of modern sounds. The workflow is seamless, and, though it may not be considered a DAW, I find I can produce high quality tracks, for the most part self-mastered. The more I work with it the more appreciative I am of KORG and its software. I recommend this app for simplicity, capability, and powerful sound. It keeps up with the modern demand for high quality audio, and I swear by it. Thank you, KORG!

パーフェクト

これ一つで初心者でも思い通りに音楽が作れるようになっています。
たまに使う度ににUIが改善されていて、どんどん使いやすくなっているところもすごい。

最強マルチプラットフォームDAW

シンセの歴史が詰まった凄いDAW。
Nintendo switchやMac、プレステ、VR、そして、このiOS版、子供から大人まで楽しく作曲が楽しめるのが素晴らしい。

Update has caused memory error

After the update I have lost all of my songs and projects, I am athlete devastated by this and I’ll probably stop using this app cause of this

Reduziert ist manchmal besser

Man konzentriert sich mehr auf das Songschreiben. Keine DAW ist so schnell wie Gadget. Die meisten Synths so so simple, den Sound den man sucht hat man schnell gefunden. Das einzige was mir fehlt ist ein linearer Sequenzer.

More Sample Options

Been with this app for years and absolutely love it. If anything, I would love to see more sample library options for Sydney, Stockholm, Bilbao and Abu Dhabí gadgets. We have enough instruments already, this device would benefit greatly with more character from samples… good ones, not repeats of someone rerecording samples of Korg Gadget instruments.

Love this App, Please separate store from the main recording and mixing part of the app.

I have spent so much money on Korg Hardware, Apps, Gadgets, and Expansions. It would be really nice to separate the store and any Gadgets I haven’t used from the Gadget Selection screen. I feel like I’m being forced to buy every single instrument even though I really have no use for the vintage video game ones, it would be nice not to have these distractions while working on Music. It would also be nice to discount the Mac version for iOS owners who have spent over $200 in Gadgets and Expansions.

Your response makes it seems like you are not even reading or listening to what I said. You should still be able to have a separate part of the Gadgets app for buying new gadgets, just like your other apps have a separate store section and don’t have to see things they haven’t purchased when scrolling through expansions they have purchased. I should be able to go through the gadgets I’ve purchased without being forced to see all the overpriced 8 bit video game gadgets I have no want or need for.

Fantastic, but for less obvious reasons…

Great DAW, but not my first go to - HOWEVER, the synths alone that are bundled with this are well worth the asking price, as they are all AUv3 and fully compatible with other major DAWs on this platform. Accessing them is very, very simple too. Upon initial purchase you immediately have full access to 19 plugins, including 4 feature-packed drum machines and more than 10 synths. Other plugins are available as IAPs, but that’s up to you…

音は良いです

音は良いのですが、購入しないと使えない音源でGaragebandなどのaudio unit一覧を埋めるの本当にやめて欲しいなと思いました
KORG moduleのように単一のaudio unitから全ての音色を選べたら嬉しかったです

iCloud and AUM custom presets bugs

When opening a saved Gadget project, custom presets (for example saved in Vancouver or Sydney) using iCloud samples produce no sound. I have to load a different preset, then load the original saved preset.

Also, when loading AU Gadget versions in AUM, my user preset folders are completely blank.

Essential

I made my first complete Korg Gadget project twelve years ago on a second generation iPad. All these years later I have over 100 "keeper" Gadget projects - 5+ hours of music. I have DAWs (including the Mac version of Gadget) and a ton of soft synths, but Gadget on my iPad is my go-to composition tool. It is an inspiration machine that lets me compose anywhere my muse strikes. Now on an m4 iPad, I am grateful that Korg continues to release new Gadgets and sound packs that help me bust out of a rut. Korg synths have always sounded great, and the pairing with the Keystage 49 is just brilliant.

MIDIキーボード ベロシティが弱い

長年使わせていただいております。

要望ですが、

MIDIキーボードでピアノ等を弾くと、力を入れて打鍵しないと強く出すことができません。キーボード側で調整することができず、悩んでいます。

module Proアプリの様に、調整する機能があれば非常に助かります。

Version 3 is an evolution

You need this. Amazing

Korg has definitely helped spread the Joy of Music Creation across the World, Analog and Digital.

From their Classic Iconic Analog Synths and Digital Workstations, to their Volcas and iOS apps, I do truly appreciate all of the creative hardware and software Korg had invented. The iOS apps and Volca series may seem like toys and not serious music making devices but they are extremely professional and fun at the same time. Ultimately Music is about having Fun, Connecting with People, Feeling and Expressing Emotions. Korg has definitely proven this with their iOS apps and Volca Devices, I appreciate them making Analog and Professional Music Creation more accessible and affordable to the World. Thank You Korg.
