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.

You are kidding right ?
You are suggesting that Korg (one of the biggest music hardware manufacturers in history) are struggling to port to AUv3 because they cant find a designer to remake their UIs in different sizes and aspect ratios
Complete nonsense, it would take any good designer a couple of days to do first drafts of the entire line.
It has nothing at all to do with bitmaps, it is the same as any other business cost/reward.
Ok
I see what you meant in that comment yesterday.
Just think if korg updates its sampler and allowed time stretching option and also added a few things to each gadget to make it an upgrade that 2 should of been I don’t think we have this conversation. If it can modify its timeline for song edit and mainly add an option to allow audio routing from taipai to Abu Dhabi that would be amazing. Also make more loop options I know that can’t be to hard we’ve been screaming that for years.
I like the box. Keeps me focused. That’s why I would go with an AU fx gadget first but if I can’t get an au gadget then give us a super sampler so I can use my out of the box sounds in a real way.
I'm referring to exporting and importing MIDI files between Gadget and Xequence.
I think you're talking about realtime MIDI which is different.
I didn't realize you wanted to reimport into Gadget. Sorry.
No worries. And no, I don't want to reimport MIDI into Gadget. Just want to do what I said above.
I have indeed tried the demo Gadget projects in X2, in which X2 is used to sequence Gadget, which is a neat idea, and I think that is what you are talking about.
Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...
It still ain’t AUv3 compatible and it never will be, no matter how many times it’s mentioned.
LOL
What you are talking about, I think, is what I was talking about:
It sounds like you might have not set Gadget up correctly with Xequence. My GADGET Midi exports play identically from Xequence as long as you configure Gadget to map Xequence outputs to the original instruments.

Not the earworm I wanted, but the earworm I needed.
I mostly use AUM, ApeMatrix, NanoStudio2 and BM3. I don’t have Gadget and probably never will, as I see it as a walled-off moneypit, though I know many really love it and I’m missing out, etc., etc. I have iMonopoly, Oddesei and iElectribe. I wish the first two were AU - cool sounds, but I rarely use them. iElectribe is an environment, so should stay as is.
I mostly like it for the large choice of Gadgets/sounds, and use it as a sound module, doing Midi in another app.
I don’t have any other Korg apps except iKaosillator.
Since you have most of the Korg standalone synths already, I would think you aren’t missing out by not having Gadget.
This is why I want individual Gadget audio outs, so I can do this, but do more than just record a stereo mix in AUM. I want to use better FX on the individual tracks, but it is such a hassle to get separate tracks if you sequence outside of Gadget.
Good to know.
Absolutely agree!
Yes, sounds like pretty much the same workflow. Using X2 to play Gadget using the demo project works great for me too - this is your 3rd step above.
However, the step on which I stumble is the 2nd one, bolded above. There is no doubt I am doing something wrong when I export MIDI out of Gadget.
I'm sure I will learn the correct way to do it someday. I would also have to learn how to set up a Gadget project to respond to midi from X2 just like the demo projects. I'm just not motivated right now to learn both of those things. I might be after I finish my Gadget song. I do know I am not the only person who started a song without finishing it.
For the time being, I am putting more energy into composing new songs in Xequence 2 instead of Gadget.
My biggest reason for wanting apps to be AU is because of sync. It is much simpler and better with AU.
It is pretty straightforward. Takes about 2 minutes.
I'm sure it is, and I just happen to be missing something.
I appreciate your attention and eagerness to help me with Gadget, but would you please give me a few months? I'm not using Gadget right now and would prefer to revisit it later.
As a (former) heavy user of Gadget for the first two years (bought everything for it), I've since stopped using it completely. Lack of Au3 is a deal breaker.
Korg is losing money and bleeding users by keeping Au3 out. I'm perfectly happy having switched over to Cubasis and BM3, so Korg can keep right on staying in their little bubble for all I care..... BUT, if they were to support Au3, it would be enough to bring me and my money back. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but again, I'm agnostic and will use whatever works for my needs.
FOA, I really appreciate your inputs. There are various opinions here
I cannot say "we will start from XX!", but our team will make a discussion to step forward about AUv3.
Not matter what you decide Just acknowledging AUv3 and engaging us on this issue is very much appreciated. 👍
Sounds great. Especially if you start with Odessei, Module and ims-20 😉
And for me the order would be iM1, iWavestation & iMono/Poly
But somehow I still long for a proper keyboard/pad-sampler/re-sampler Gadget with synthesis capabilities(per pad if pad-mode is used) similar to Wolfsburg. So this would be like a 'merger' of features in WolfsBurg, Bilbao and Vancouver with added sample-editing capabilities.
But it's good to hear that things are moving in Korg Land
I think that discussion wold be great for both korgs future On iOS and and iOS as a whole
I actually like this wish list better but I was trying not to be greedy.lol. iWAVESTATION is my current Korg fav but for whatever reason I imagine it’ll be hard to make AU. Also, if Korg makes a proper sampler Gadget will probably become my exclusive workstation.
Another +1 for a proper sampler in Gadget.
Thanks for your time and for listening, it’s appreciated
