KORG Gadget 2 Le Reviews

by DarkstarStudio

crashes. Wont launch at all any more. Old problem from 2015 (per the blogs) remains unfixed. Good thing I hardly ever use this thing due tot he lack pf a standard piano key interface. Other than drums, composing with this intrument was a nightmare due to the absence of access to NOTES via a piano keyboard. Now I cannot even get it to run. Waste of money.

The fact that you cannot export with the free version of KORGGadget2Le is very scummy. I already purchased the gadget for 40 dollars why am I being charged again to actually do something with my songs?

KORGGadget2Le is draining the life out of my battery. Had to delete since it still ran in background even when I specified background app refresh off.

Unintuitive. Poorly conceived and stuck in the PC design mentality. No Korg IOS app has been a go to app for me...ever. They are stuck in hardware/PC design mentality and Korg fails to grasp what the touch screen technology is and can do. Their sound is just adequate. Why is the Gadget only portrait mode? Why doesn't Korg include note hold switches in their apps? I could go on. As far as I am concerned Korg continues to miss the boat and is basically irrelevant as far as making digital music.

It seems that 98% of all apps are a PC/Mac design mentality. Very few apps truly are designed for iOS touch screen.

Free version has static noise
Not cool

I downloaded Gadget Le as I was looking for a very portable production station for a quick, easy way to get ideas down.

Well, I liked it so much - even with its limited instruments and tracks - that I bought the full version.

The full version of Gadget is fantastic! Tons of instruments for immediate use and loads of available tracks. I've used it so much already! I even composed a re-make of a classic song to use for a video. Its ability to export as a Ableton Live project made it easy to get vocals recorded for my finished production.

The ONLY complaint I have is that the upgrade from to Gadget doesn't actually unlock Gadget Le. I can't even export the tracks I created with Le. I literally have to reprogram those tracks...and I made quite a few before I upgraded.

If someone knows something I don't, please tell me. I'd like to port my tracks over to Gadget, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this. I think this was an oversight that should be fixed. As it stands now, I would give Gadget a 5 and Gadget Le a 2.5.

But both are still lots of fun and now there's even a version for the Mac!!!

The sounds are good the interface is ok but its just imposible to create profesional music whit out Copy Paste to save time and extra work.

I cant see the harmony between chanels nor beats its like a blind fold. Sorry please fixe it.

This used to be my favorite app. It was my go to...now I can’t even export unless I pay anywhere, “gadgetcloud” included. Idk. Sad to see that’s changed.

Integration with other apps like BM3 and Cubasis, Garage would take the possibilities up a notch

I really love how easy it is to use my midi controllers on it too. Gadget reminds of the first Daw I ever used which was Fruity loops 15 years ago. Now I use Ableton and pro tools (which is the industry standard meaning most big name studios use Avid Pro tools when recording famous artists in the studios) mainly but when I’m not at home I bring my iPad as well as my little midi drum sequencer and midi keyboard controllers. This is because it is so simple to use even if all you have is the iPad itself to make the music.I do however recommend in investing in a midi controller(probably just a small midi keyboard at first, I see some at pawnshops all the time) for it because it not only makes it more fun but also easier and more efficient to make songs. My only complaints are that after buying the program you still have to pay even more money if you want the other gadgets. The stock drum machine that comes with gadget took me a lot of tweaking to get it to finally sound like a decent drum set but I might buy the newer drum gadget. Also when I start to record and use my midi controller I wish there was an option to have the record do a countdown before it starts recording. Having it start recording as soon as you hit it makes me always come in a millisecond to late or too early so I just add the note manually for the start until they fix this.

Great for Laying down rhythm ideas while on the go!

Are you able to import from the Nintendo Switch version?

by Pci512

I will start by saying the sound I heard through my beats was, is incredible! I have hardware Roland's Juno g xp50 GR 33,55 and Yamaha, it's a sonic thing. I'm not sure yet if I will spend monies yet, I need a dock with midi to see latency velocity, these type of things. We will see? Stay up, play hard.

by Huhuhohoho

Hello! Thanks for such a great thing! But could you make an export tool for those who bought the full ver? What am I supposed to do with the stuff I made here???? To loose it?

by Oqion

So you go to export wave and they ask for $40. Then you pay it, but still can't export!

"Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for the inconvenience. Currently, There is no way to export the data to the Gadget from Gadget Le. We will consider to be able to export project about this issue.

I can't get over how these apps are becoming more and more powerful DAWs..... I'm pleased with the LE version but the full one is a beast!
