Two Video game Gadgets??? Why?

Gee thank you for not 1... but 2 video games gadgets which brings us to a grand total of 5 video game gadgets... Please just give us a iKaossilator update. You can’t charge 20 bucks for an app and then abandon it... you still have a large community using this app and it’s just not right.
Great mobile app!

You can do almost anything with Gadget 2 especially since they included audio tracks. You can do both audio and midi tracks. The amp sim is not bad at all.I also like that multiple time signatures are supported as well. You can import standard midi files and audio clips. The sounds and effects are great. It would be cool if you could use a midi foot controller for stop/start next/ prev, but they’ll probably figure that out too. Definitely worth 40 bucks.
MAC + IPad version pricing

Gadget is great for quickly developing song ideas, and even writing complete songs, especially, if you later export them to Ableton, and finalize with EQ, compression, etc. The problem I have with Kong and Gadget has to do with pricing, and Korg’s understanding of the customer (I have both the Mac and iPad versions of Gadget, and I also own all the individual Korg instrument plugins on the Mac and IPad). On the Mac, you get all the plugins, and you can use them in any DAW. That is absolutely great - thank you! On the iPad, you don’t get all the plugins, and lots of them are priced as if they’re very special. Korg has a user ID which only knows about my ownership of the Mac version of Gadget, not the individual plugins, and not the iPad versions. The upgrade to Gadget2 on Mac has a special price for me of $100, which gives me nothing new, and I need to spend another $100 on the iPad, to get the plugins that I’m already using on the Mac. Korg can charge whatever they want, but as somebody who likes and owns a lot of Korg products, I find the business and customer side of Korg far behind the technical side. In my opinion, they should know what I own, and make it easy and meaningful for me to upgrade everything, so that I can use any platform, not nickel and dime me in different ways, and ultimately not get another penny from me.
Good sounds - needs linear workflow

I like the variety of sounds and how I can use my iM1 and iWAVESTATION apps with it. The app is pricy so glad I got it on sale! The workflow is weird so I use Xequence or MultitrackStudio to drive Gadget so I'm happy.
Great stuff
huhuhohoho
All is good. Must have an ipad though, iphone is too small, but can be used too!
Gadget is a beast

The only thing keep updates coming I haven’t really been back to some the beat making apps I bought gadget is in its own category by it self it took my beats to another level with the rich sounds some people say that it has same sounds as fantom that a key board I been wanting for long time but the price was mind boggling My first board was korge x3 ssoooo thanks for this app its worth more than what they want for it so grab the app y’all stop looking at price I know there is greater to come
Top Notch App

This is the music app which all other music apps should be measured against. Great sound quality, stable performance, and flawless integration between the iPad and desktop versions.
Best app best workflow

I can’t say enough good things about this app. As a musician of almost 30 years Gadget helped me overcome a lot of the hurdles that I was facing ever since I started using computer based recording systems in the early 2000s. I never felt comfortable writing electronically until I started using Gadget. With that said I just wish there was more Midi options for external controllers. Also more timing options but I’m hoping all of that will come in time.
