Would love that but would be a wierd step back in terms of marketing. They have succeeded in pushing a closed environment. They won. Why would they open up the au thing?I agree. They want people to buy into their app ecosystem. They can definitely get away with it because they are top quality. At the same time, it would be awesome if they did lol
Why would that be a step back? you can already record individual Gadgets into DAWs via AudioBus or IAA. So Gadgets as Audio Units would only be the next step. And another selling point for the more expensive Gadgets.
I was talking about from Korg's perspective. Gadget as an app, is closed compared to an app like Auria that encourages multiple app usage from different developers (AU, IAA etc;). Gadget can be used in other scenarios but only approved Gadget synths can be used within the app. I agreed with the earlier point made in that they spent the past few years keeping it closed. To all of a sudden go the AU route would be shocking in my head. However, stranger things have happened as seen on the best show in Netflix
I was also talking from KORG's perspective
I was trying to point out that while they have kept Gadget closed (sounds can only be created with Gadgets, not external synths) they have not been so closed about using the sounds outside Gadget -- and making Gadgets into audio units would be a continuation of that. It would not hurt the Gadget system and would be an added value to IAP Gagets.
If on the other hand they supported au or IAA within or into Gadget, that would indeed be a complete reversal of their philosophy.@nick said:

By making all the built in Gadgets available as AU and IAA instruments they expand their potential customer base for Gadget considerably, without loosing anything: Gadget users get more versatility and non-gadget users suddenly have a REALLY compelling reason to buy Gadget, even though they may never use the DAW part of it.
The other way around (opening Gadget) does not make sense, since that would allow Gadget customers to buy 3rd party synths instead of the Korg ones, which is not in Korgs interest ;-)

No I can't see it opening up, but as a AU/VST to load inside another host, like Maschine and FLStudio, maybe.

If they only provided them for purchase through the gadget app it wouldn't hurt their sales at all...you buy gadget, you buy a gadget IAP and you get to use it as AUv3....would be one way to do it.

That would be the only sensible way to do it
I mean Korg does have a certain 'sound' to their stuff that is used all over the place and having all their stuff in one 'container' would be very handy indeed.

I'm hoping Gadget will finally get a bigger on-screen and pads with possibility to enter/play notes with different velocities.+1
I want this more than any other addition. If they do AUV3 on iOS it would be game over for everyone else seriously
@realdavidai said:

There are still many, many synths outside Gadget...
What would 'shake' the playground would be if Gadget allowed us to host other AUv3's with full automation.@realdavidai said:

I'm not sure I'd pay extra for any of them outside of Tokyo, London, Bilbao, Lexington. I love being able to load up Kingston or Helsinki, but that's maybe because they are free and integrate so beautifully.

Is it just me or does that button on the top right in some of the screenshots look like a Kaoss pad toggle switch? I HOPE SO!I suspect they rolled the configure utilities (currently a separate Mac/PC program) for nanoKEY Studio and nanoCONTROL Studio hardware into the gadget app. Hope so, it's a good idea!
I think Gadget on the big screen of a computer will help us rediscover this soft. As I know Gadget on IOS it will be awesome !! Even want to tweak the knobs with a mouse, to be more precise (don't have a IPad Pro...).
Anyway, it's the first time that Korg, as a major company, is adapting a program from IOS to Mac OS and not the other way around! It's a great honour and I think Korg is reserving good surprises for this launch, both ways.
(I hope so).
Don't think it will be totally free though, but would appreciate a good offer.
I'm expecting some giving with one hand and some taking away with the other (even if that 'taking away' is more by way of omission than anything else...)

Everyone is hoping that the new gadgets spotted in the screenshots of the Mac version will be coming to iOS....
No official word on anything yet....we just live in hope at the moment.@AndyPlankton said:

I am full of hope and anticipation for this - shouldn't be too long now...

I wonder how much deliberation (if any) Apple/GB put into releasing their latest on the Wednesday before the supposed Korg update?

After the 'no GB Alchemy on Air 1, please sign the upgrade program', my eyes are on you Korg
Has anyone with an Air 1 tried to run alchemy or does it just not appear?

Suddenly this thread converted from Gadget to Alchemy ;-)
I'm really looking forward to see today's announcement from Korg on NAMM..,
Soooo excited!@Tritonman said:

Me too
I hope Gadgets are not AUV3.... because if so I would definitely lose my job.
I have a feeling they might be, as incentive for people to by module, iwavestation, etc.
Korg's strategy they've taken with this is impeccable.
