That's huge too, and I could get one of the Launchpads or APCs for less than the price. You can then transfer the MIDI Clips over to another DAW from the ALS such as Logic or Cubase with or without Rewire if need be Ģ - I could buy Ableton's Push 2 for a little more than triple the price of the Mac Gadget SW Suite. You can use any VI from Ableton's stockpile or virtually any third party AU that's huge for the iPad version and lessens the need for the interoperability. I've tooled around with Gadget LE on my Mac and have the following reservations about pulling the trigger:ġ - I did not realize this, but even the iPad version's downloadable ALS (Live Set) now will include MIDI in lieu of only Audio Tracks. Maybe Korg has some exceptional designers on staff.

I don't believe the full version allows for other AU EFX. Perhaps it's the seamless integration of all the parts, and there's not too much choice beyond the 30 instruments, i.e. It's workflow is seriously similar to Live 9's. It just seems less clunky in Gadget, and I have no idea why. Just sequencing drums is for some unknown reason simpler than to do so in Logic or Ableton - and the two are probably the among the best sequencers for creating patterns. However, then there's the question do I really need 30 additional synthesizers / drum machines? I suppose you can pick and choose, similar to how I do not automatically load all the UAD models into the two DAWs I routinely use.Īs you said it's $6.45 for each, so I can't come up with too many hard core counter-arguments pushing me to take a pass.

The only fear I have is that this will just sit on my drive, though the plugins seriously reduce this risk. I suppose you can sketch GB projects on the iPad and then transfer them to a Logic set, but honestly I've never done that. Just the quick and easy sequencing is pushing me to pull the trigger on this one. $199 does seem worth it since it comes with the M1, Odyssey, and as you mentioned Wavestation. It sounds like you're giving it a firm affirmation, and the good news is the interoperability with the iPad, as well as being able to create an Ableton Live set (that can be rewired into Logic or other host.) I just downloaded the LE Version & also have it on the iPad along with iM1.
