Nieuws Korg Gadget For Mac
It wouldn’t be controversial to say that Korg’s self-contained sequencer and instrument suite Gadget is one of the best music making apps for iOS. The range and quality of sounds it offers is unrivalled on the platform, but its winning formula owes as much to its smartly designed interface, accessibility and flexible export options as it does its actual sonics. Gadget for Mac is - somewhat obviously - a macOS port of the same application. For the most part, it remains identical to its iOS counterpart. Once again, the star of the show is the ever-growing library of sound modules, aka the titular ‘Gadgets’. At the latest count, 30 of these are on offer, most of which replicate the essence of some classic hardware synthesizer or drum machine, although a growing number deviate from this formula to incorporate sampling, looping, FX boxes, modelled pianos and more. The quality level is high throughout; most Gadgets offer a slightly simplified variation on the style of instrument they’re based on, but still pack a healthy amount of flexibility.
Sonically, the analogue-inspired Gadgets - which include a 303 clone, MS-20-inspired semi-modular and a great four-part percussion synth - hold up pretty well. They arguably lack some of the heft and texture of the best analogue emulations, but they maintain a convincing level of character. Generally, it’s the digitally-inspired Gadgets that provide the highlights though.
These include excellent PCM sound modules filled with retro Triton and M1-sourced sounds, a woozy ‘ambient’ synth module, two arcade-inspired chiptune machines, a gritty vector synthesis module, a special FX box and a phase modulation synth. The quality level is high throughout; most Gadgets offer a slightly simplified variation on the style of instrument they’re based on, but still pack a healthy amount of flexibility The workspace remains very similar to the iOS versions, albeit with a few notable tweaks. As before, the UI is divided into four elements - a clip launcher, a mixer/channel strip, a piano roll sequencer and a space for the gadgets themselves. The primary difference is that, compared to the iOS versions, where only one or two of these elements can be accessed at once, the interface here is divided into quarters allowing all sections to be displayed simultaneously. The result is a tidy and accessible UI, which offers up pretty much every element from a single window. The similarity between versions does mean that Gadget for Mac keeps some interface elements that were clearly designed for a touchscreen rather than desktop workflow. The heavy use of ‘function’ buttons, for example, could easily be replaced by right-clicks here, while the separate input and select modes in the piano roll are clearly designed with fingertip editing in mind.
Still, this compromise keeps the workflow unified across all versions, and there’s a definite benefit to that. New Gadgets are now available across all versions. Most notable are two designed for recording and importing audio. While audio handling is fairly limited - you can only adjust start and end points or gain level - these do offer studio- and stompbox-inspired effects. Also added to the line-up are Gadget versions of Korg’s own M1 and ARP Odyssey emulations (both of which are very impressive), with a version of the iWavestation to follow. The audio Gadgets are free to all users, but on iOS the latter three require purchase of their corresponding standalone apps to unlock the Gadget versions.
The other major difference is that, as well as offering the sounds within this self-contained suite, the software also includes every Gadget as a standalone VST/AU/AAX plugin. This works pretty much as one would expect: plugin incarnations are identical to their in-app counterparts, sans sequencers. That said, there is one minor bugbear in the form of Gadget’s naming convention. Sound modules are given names borrowed, for the most part, from world cities, such as Helsinki, London, Dublin or Brussels. Within Gadget itself, the library also offers a more practical sub-head and brief description of each. In your DAW’s plugin browser, however, you’re limited to the city names themselves, meaning you’ll want to keep a notepad handy lest you forget whether your favourite PCM module was a Bilbao or a Marseilles.
On the whole though, what Gadget for Mac offers is great - it’s a well- rounded, well-implemented package with impressive cross-platform compatibility. There is, however, one significant sticking point: its price.
At $299 (currently available for an intro offer of $199), Gadget for Mac is over seven times the price of its iOS counterpart, although, to be fair, the Mac version does include all Gadgets, whereas on iOS roughly half of these require a separate purchase of between £5 and £20. Gadget For Mac’s inclusion of iCloud Drive support allows project sync across multiple Mac and iOS versions. Gadget for Mac can also export individual channels as audio or MIDI files for easy loading into other applications. There’s Ableton Live project export too, allowing a project to be opened in Live complete with audio, MIDI and all appropriate Gadgets (although no effects). Ableton Link support allows sync with a growing list of applications. Finally, support for Allihoopa and Korg’s Soundcloud-powered GadgetCloud allow tracks to be directly uploaded to online communities.
Clearly, Korg is also calculating a lot of that value based on the inclusion of the standalone plugins, and it’s hard to argue with the breadth of sounds included here. Despite this, there are still rough edges to these that reveal their iOS origins - the drum machines and sampler lack individual channel outputs, there’s no sample auditioning, UIs can’t be resized - and they lack some of the polish of native macOS plugin suites that the price puts them up against. Given its accessibility and cross-platform compatibility, Gadget for Mac is likely to appeal most to two groups: current users wanting to bridge the gap between the iOS version and their main DAW, and beginners after an easy-to-grasp workspace. In the former case, assuming users have already paid for the iOS version, it seems tough to justify an extra $300 simply to avoid the hassle of having to bounce out audio.
In the latter scenario, it’s worth considering that $300 could also buy a Mac user Logic Pro X ($199) with plenty of change to buy additional sounds or even a controller. It’s not that Gadget feels cheap, or that it isn’t great at what it does - it is, and theoretically it comes very highly recommended - but taken in context it’s a little hard to get your head around the price point. It’s worth acting while it’s at the considerably more reasonable intro price!
KORG iM1 van KORG INC. Is een iPad app met iOS versie 8.0 of hoger, geschikt bevonden voor gebruikers met leeftijden vanaf.
A complete reproduction - and more - of the legendary M1 that defined an era. Mobile Digital Synthesizer for the iPad. ● Selected by Apple as 'App Store Best of 2015' ● Ranked #1 on the App Store on Top Paid Music category in more than 20 countries!
(15/5/27) Since it went on sale in 1988 the legendary M1 music workstation rapidly achieved record-breaking sales, becoming a mainstay of the music scene from the late 1980s and beyond. The common element of electronic instruments that have left their name in history is that they had a unique sound that was difficult if not impossible to replicate. Sounds such as the “M1 Piano” is instantly recognizable and have appeared on countless hit records over many years, and yet these are sounds that could only be produced by the M1.
And that’s what you can now have on your iPad! ● A faithful reproduction of the original M1 Sound The PCM data provides the library of the original M1.
For the hardware, we analyzed the circuit diagram of the original design, and completely replicated it in software down to the last detailed parameters. Engineers with an exhaustive knowledge of the M1 made careful adjustments in order to obtain the sound of the original unit, something that cannot be obtained simply by sampling the original sounds. ● A continued evolution of the M1 Not content with simply reproducing the original, iM1 provides further evolutionary developments. Synth parts now have the Filter Resonance that was requested at the time of the original.
The effect parts, originally consisting of only two effects, have been powered-up to 18 effects. The user interface has also been refreshed with additions such as a KAOSS pad. IM1 is the ultimate version of the KORG M1. ● A gigantic library encompassing 3,300 sounds and 34 cards. In addition to all 19 of the ROM cards originally released for the M1, iM1 also covers the sounds of the M1EX which expanded the internal PCM of the M1, as well as the sounds of the T-series which appeared as an evolution of the M1. There’s also “BEST OF M1”, a selection of 100 great M1 programs.
The new “Smart Sound Browser” makes it quick to find the desired sound. You can also view the sounds ranked by how often they are selected by iM1 users around the world.with all the expansion card installed via in-app purchase ● KAOSS pad lets anybody perform iM1 features a KAOSS pad from the popular KAOSSILATOR, allowing you to perform intuitively just by touching the screen. By using the dual KAOSS pads to play phrases or adjust the sound, even people who are not accustomed to keyboard instruments or knowledgeable about synthesizers can enjoy performing the iM1. There’s also a conventional keyboard, as well as the “Smart Keyboard”, which lets you specify a scale setting and play phrases with a single finger.
● Use with KORG Gadget for song production iM1 can be used together with Gadget, the music production DAW app that won the App Store Best App of 2014 award in Japan. If both apps are installed, you can use iM1 as a sound module within Gadget, taking advantage of the program sounds in iM1 for music production.
IM1 also supports Audiobus and Inter-App Audio, so it can also be used for GarageBand etc. ● Connect a MIDI keyboard and use as a sound module In addition to enjoying iM1 on its own, you can connect a USB MIDI keyboard.
via a Lightning adaptor and play the iM1 as an external sound module. You can easily take along an even more powerful workstation sound module as part of your iPad-based compact mobile system.microKEY, nanoKEY etc. ● Interchangeable with the KORG Legacy Collection and the original M1 Sounds that you create in iM1 can be sent from your iPad via iTunes to a Mac/PC. If you have the Legacy Collection M1, you can use those sounds in a DAW. More info at korg.com Informatie voor KORG iM1 is het laatst vergeleken op 14 dec.
