Even one gadget has enough knobs and switches (including grid-style pads for testing out each sound before you use it) to keep you busy for hours.ĭetune has also made good use of a device with both buttons and touchscreen functionality.

So even if you’re new to the world of digital song-making - or someone with a passing interest in the subject - KORG Gadget will still feel like a vast studio of emulated devices right there in your hands. It’s frustrating the number of gadgets has been reduced from the total available on Mac (that version has 30), but thankfully the Switch port is on par with the other mobile iterations. Each one comes with a variety of effects, offering everything from chiptune bleep bloops (so you can channel your inner Anamanaguchi) to classic D&B basslines (giving you the power to sound like a ripoff Pendulum - you know, back when they weren’t a knock-off nu-metal band). Originally designed for smartphones and tablets, the suite splits its 16 synthesisers and drum machines into toy-like 'gadgets', each with a specific theme. To that end, KORG Gadget is a resounding success.
