Some ideas/concerns for Gadget 2 – KORG Gadget 2 Review

Absolutely amazing! The color scheme is great, the instruments are versatile and creative. I love the new beat sequencer and the improvements made to the sound mixer are so good! KORG Gadget 2, though it has so many pros, also has cons: 1.) The name of the song cannot be changed without having to save as! It’s really a bit of a hassle, especially since it takes up storage room duplicating a .gdproj2 file. Next time you slap a number onto the name of the software [in this case it was 2], please don’t take out a useful feature like this. 2.) Stockholm seems to be working better since the last couple of updates [it actually plays on tempo], although the preview interface is still glitchy. The red lines do not separate the slices like they should; rather, they are in all places besides where they should be. 3.) Please fix the file browser!!! It is so hard to browse files with your tiny pop-up menu. I also suggest separating the user projects and demos. 4.) Fix the MIDI. I cannot connect AudioKit SynthOne or any other app to Gadget using your MIDI out device, and Ableton Link is extremely glitchy. 5.) Add new demos! I have only seen one new demo get added in the 2 years I have had this app. 6.) You should support comments on the waveform in the GadgetCloud. This way, comments posted in the GadgetCloud will appear on the waveform in SoundCloud. You should also put a search bar in the GadgetCloud with a set of filters for tracks, profiles, top-charts, and recently added. This will make browsing so much easier. 7.) Last but not in the least bit the least, please add some effects to the mixer. In GarageBand, there is a DJ FX menu with XY pads, stops, starts/restarts, filters, and LFO effects. Installing this will be a big plus to the software. I also suggest that you guys make the iOS app compatible with Dark Mode in the upcoming iPadOS update this fall. Some type of color scheme change from the classic cool colors to warmer colors will look cool.
