Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I wonder if it was financially viable for Propellorheads [edit: I mean SugarBytes!] to convert their apps to AU? My hope is that they recouped much more than the development costs in new sales.
Which Propellerhead apps are AU? Have I missed news of an update?
Doh! I mean SugarBytes! Going back to add an edit to my post
where is said that they are AU?
Oh, ok. You got me a bit excited there for a moment.
What a daftee! (I meant SugarBytes...) 😗
I'm looking forward to this Friday. I hope Korg is ready to deliver the new Gadget to us and for us to find out what the two undisclosed IAPs are (although I bet they'll be Ebina and Otorii).
@davis_korgrd Will Gadget 2 be released this coming Friday? Will we at least have some screenshots of what's new to whet the appetite? Will we find out what the two undisclosed IAPs are? Sorry mate, I'm just so excited!
I kind of remember when Gadget went universal it didn’t drop until the end of Feb, it was around the same time frame. I hope I’m wrong lol

I’m not expecting it any time soon either....... one things for sure.... they never arrive early😼

I found these pictures on Twitter of what seems to be Korg Gadget 2 and two of the new gadgets, Memphis and Pompei:
Interesting. If you zoom in on the Pompeii picture, you can see the buttons for “Synth” and “Patchbay”. Would love to see that other panel.
Probably the same as an ms-20. In the 3rd pic u see it blurred but it does look like the ms20 patchbay
Memphis is the MS-20, it says so in the description in the last picture. And Pompei is the Polysix.
I've owned both of those for many years, but it's good that I'll finally be able to use them in Gadget.
@White Nice find mate!
Not so many interface changes. I hope they are hidden
Just curious - what would you do with it?
Still no time / bars&beats display on the arrange screen like on the Mac version
WHY? - there's plenty of room. Visually the arrange page looks more or less the same, I wonder where these enhancements can be seen:
Wow, they’ve got all the MS20 controls in that Gadget, that’s a surprise, I thought it’d be more stripped down.
Yeah I’ve been heckling them about the navigation options for a long time too. And I’m not expecting to see any improvements to the way we access saved projects in the tiny little file menu. Hoping to be proven wrong...
That user interface looks nothing close to being "brushed up". Mac users have to pay extra for the new Gadget 2 upgrade? WOW, that sucks.
If only they have implemented proper support for the Files app, using native dialogues for saving and loading and better organisation of files / samples, I can forgive a lot - but, I'm not getting my hopes up.
I wish KORG would provide some more info soon. Since the update should be out in less than a month, one would assume that everything is more or less feature complete??
That said, I'm happy that both iMS20 and Polysix will be added to Gadget (since I already own both). Not too exited about the bit-synth gadgets - I think we have enough of those - but they seem to be popular in Japan
I would be using it in the same way for example on the Volca Sample. Tweaking by moving the start point back and forward of your sample at the same time as twisting the other parameters (in particular pitch) can provide a radical dynamic to your chopping/ mashing fun. Automating it would mean that you could do this to several at the same time 😀
I wonder if these new gadgets are running on the current build of the software? It looks identical from here. Hoping there's more to announce. Gadget desperately needs some basic MIDI tools/improvement (snapping note ends, fixing lengths and legato would be near the top of the list for me). I also saw some mention of new channel inserts? Or at least I thought I did. Maybe I imagined it. Definitely excited for Memphis though. Even with its current limitations Gadget is still my favourite groovebox app. It's the closest to playing with my Volcas in software; just without the mess!
Hehe, that's why I think Bilbao is the better Abu Dhabi: You can, for each of the 16 pads, automate start point, hold+decay, pitch, level, pan, fx send switch.
Automating pitch is not too much fun because there is no reference grid for note values, but back in the analog sequencer days, that wasn't the case either
I don't know what it takes to implement AUv3, and was never under the illusion that I did. I've never suggested that there's much money to be made on iOS for anything. I'm not a developer.
Is that a known fact that iOS Korg is a team of older programmers not up on the latest iOS technology, and though Korg is still a very active iOS developer, they don't feel inclined to hire new, train or keep up? That would certainly answer my question as to why no AUv3 in anything they put out.
+1. Being able to run multiple iMS20 Gadgets might tempt me back into using it again - though only in short bursts, before the iPad starts melting. iPolysix is a great synth too.
Odd to see an MS20 associated with Memphis. I'm assuming they mean the Egyptian one. Otherwise it should be a 'rack of bbq ribs' gadget or a 'concealed handgun' gadget
Disappointed by the lack of coverage on this. Multiple vids of Volca’s, Minilogue, Kronos, Kross and even Keytars
Not 1 Gadget vid...
I always associate them with Southend, which was where I bought mine nearly 40 years ago. Still got the 'Honky Tonk Music' sticker on the top. But yeah, still 'concealed handguns'...
