What it does
KORG Gadget 3 is a compact music-production environment for iOS, Mac and Mac/PC plug-in workflows. It is built around more than 40 small instruments, drum machines, samplers, audio tools and effects, so you can start with a sound or pattern instead of a blank project.
Build an idea before it gets away
Gadget is good at the first part of writing a track. Pick a few focused modules, make a pattern, then arrange it before the useful accident disappears.
- Combine synth, drum-machine, sampler and audio Gadgets in one project.
- Use Genre Select to start from pattern combinations rather than an empty session.
- Browse sounds by instrument category, favourites and search.
- Work on iOS or Mac, then share iCloud or Ableton Live projects between those editions.
- Use the Mac/PC plug-in package when you want the Gadget sounds inside another DAW.
Editions and limits
KORG Gadget Le is a limited free download, so Gadget is listed as freemium. Full editions and extra content are paid. The platform versions do not have identical features. KORG also notes that some audio and MIDI Gadgets do not support AUv3. Check the exact edition, included Gadgets and regional store price before you buy.
