Certainly, Chicago being a 303-like bass synth makes sense given that city’s history with Acid house, but not all seem to have a link nor does that really matter. You might think the name relates to the music made by each and you might be right. Classic gadgetsĮach Gadget is themed and named after a city. I’ll start with some of the older ones for those new to the Gadget phenomenon. That said, some of them – the ones that emulate some of the Korg classics of days gone by – do deliver a hell of a lot from such a small package and pretty much every Gadget has something dramatic, bold and memorable to say. You get fewer controls, less presets and more of a focus on a type of sound or sonic angle. The first thing to get your head around when your load in a typical Gadget is that it will usually be smaller in scope than a full-blown plug-in synth – hence the name Gadget. Otherwise, they simply load in as standard on whichever MIDI track you choose. The bundle is a 3GB-plus download which requires a Korg account and activation code when you boot up the plug-ins for the first time.
I’ll look at the updates to Gadget 2 – the DAW, that is – next time around, but these plug-ins are really what makes it tick and they’re now available to both Mac and PC users via any AU and VST DAW. All the Gadgets in the bundle run as normal plug-ins – I have them running in both Live and Logic – so let’s take a look. The Gadget collection of instruments and effects is now available as a separate plug-in bundle for both Mac and PC users, who can load it into any DAW and enjoy the Gadget sound. The latest Korg Gadget 2 announcement sees updates and additions to both the iOS and Mac versions, but that’s not all.
