User Reviews

Gadget 3 is a powerful, portable iPad DAW with a vast sound library, inspiring workflow, and strong MIDI/Logic Pro integration. Users praise on-the-go creativity, high-quality gadgets, and ongoing updates. Recurrent concerns focus on sample-bank reliability (Bilbao) and missing features like AUv3 external synth support and per-sample drum FX. A few request improvements for autosave/undo and workflow refinements, but the app remains a favored tool for many producers.
Pros
  • Massive, high-quality instrument library across gadgets with versatile sounds.
  • Inspiration-driven workflow that lets you compose anywhere; an inspiring tool for creativity.
  • Portable, visually appealing DAW on iPad that supports on-the-go production.
  • Strong MIDI integration and ability to use Gadget instruments as plugins in Logic Pro.
  • Active development with frequent gadget releases and sound packs to expand the toolkit.
Cons
  • Sample banks (Bilbao) can disappear or fail to load after closing the app; iCloud-synced samples loading can be unreliable.
  • Missing features cited by users include external AUv3 synth support and per-sample drum FX, indicating gaps in current capabilities.

I made my first complete Korg Gadget project twelve years ago on a second generation iPad. All these years later I have over 100 "keeper" Gadget projects - 5+ hours of music. I have DAWs (including the Mac version of Gadget) and a ton of soft synths, but Gadget on my iPad is my go-to composition tool. It is an inspiration machine that lets me compose anywhere my muse strikes. Now on an m4 iPad, I am grateful that Korg continues to release new Gadgets and sound packs that help me bust out of a rut. Korg synths have always sounded great, and the pairing with the Keystage 49 is just brilliant.

From their Classic Iconic Analog Synths and Digital Workstations, to their Volcas and iOS apps, I do truly appreciate all of the creative hardware and software Korg had invented. The iOS apps and Volca series may seem like toys and not serious music making devices but they are extremely professional and fun at the same time. Ultimately Music is about having Fun, Connecting with People, Feeling and Expressing Emotions. Korg has definitely proven this with their iOS apps and Volca Devices, I appreciate them making Analog and Professional Music Creation more accessible and affordable to the World. Thank You Korg.

Two things make it not get 5 stars: iCloud samples loaded on kits, even when present with ”keep downloaded”, fail to load on Bilbao after you close the app. Same happens if samples are loaded through Audioshare. And no layered velocity / rr drum sampler like Osaka for custom drums.
