I can't believe I'm getting this out of an iPad. First of all, with 15 synths, the sounds are amazing.
After several decent attempts that missed the mark a bit, Korg has really done a bang up job with this one. Recently my feelings towards iOS music making have changed with Korg Gadget. There's hasn't been an app where I could comfortable sketch out ideas and comfortably port them into Ableton or any other DAW. Some have come close, notably GarageBand, FL Studio Mobile and more recently Cubasis, however the aforementioned apps felt lacking and felt more like they were shoehorned onto iOS.
Regarding DAWs, iOS has truly been lacking in anything intuitive or frankly even usable. Although not all DAWs, some of my favorites include Garageband, Lemur, Figure, Animoog, Alchemy, & Touchable.
Miami for instance is a bass gadget and I think this picture pretty much sums it up.ītw, Volgograd is an awesome name! Hope they make a Gadget like that.When it comes to iOS DAWs I have literally tried them all. There's a nice musical story behind each Gadget. Kamata an 8-bit Gadget is named that way because Namco's office used to be in the city with the same name. Helsinki is also know for its rich noise and ambience scene. In an interview with Kazuhito Inoue (chief programmer) from KORH he mentioned that for instance Helsinki has a colderĪmbient sound to it and it's because Helsinki lies in the north and has a colder climate or something along those lines. So if they made a KORG Volca KICK type Gadget, they'd most likely end up naming it Tokyo (I think the Volca sample was developed there). Random thought: Is the name "Vancouver" supposed to put one in mind of "Volca"? (I'd assume Volgograd was unappealing.)Īll the Gadget names have names that ties into something specific music-wise for each of the cities. Would love to see a tutorial on best practices for rolling your own samples.
