Like all gadgets, Rosario’s parameters can be automated, allowing some interesting evolving guitar textures. I wouldn’t say the amps are fantastic, but within the limits of an app like this, they’re decent enough. While Recife frankly seems more of the same as drum gadgets go, Rosario brings guitar amplifiers, cabinets, and effects to Gadget for the first time amps and cabs can be mixed-and-matched, (though unfortunately it’s not possible to record audio into more than one track at a time, which I’m fond of doing with guitars). There are three new instruments, free on both versions – Recife (drum machine), Rosario (guitar amp/effect modelling), and Zurich (audio recorder/player), with the audio features in particular promising to elevate Gadget to ‘proper’ DAW status. Gadget on iOS isn’t multi-touch dependent anyway, so using a mouse to run things doesn’t particularly feel like a compromise.Ībleton Link is supported, so Mac Gadget users can join multi-device jam sessions or synchronise applications running on the same device.

Gadget for Mac uses a four-pane layout, enabling simultaneous viewing of the scenes, mixer, MIDI editor, and the instruments.

This works slightly differently in the Mac version, as it contains all add-ons from the off, presumably in the interests of full compatibility.

On iOS, selected gadgets are in-app purchases, including the Abu Dhabi loop slicer, while purchasing some separate Korg iOS apps such as Module and ODYSSEi installs new gadgets as well. There are over 30 factory instruments in total, including the London drum-sample player, the Chicago bass synth, the Wolfsburg hybrid polyphonic synth, and the Salzburg acoustic piano. Completed projects can be saved as stereo mixes, MIDI files, Gadget projects to be archived and shared, or as Ableton Live projects, ready to be opened on a Mac or PC. It’s colourful and feature-limited, but that doesn’t mean it’s a toy: it can be very rewarding to work with. That’s underselling Gadget, though, because it’s like a combination of Live, Reason, and possibly there’s some Nintendo DNA, too.
