However, there is a reasonable work around for the latter. I give KORG Gadget a 10 for fun and a 6 for cross-platform collaboration. Ok, this app for the switch is a whole lot of fun, whether you are a seasoned musician or want to learn how to operate a synthesizer. Hopefully in future updates they add more mixer functions export options and to make improvements to the sequencer and playback! As all the other aspects are decent enough. What is not so easy, is to flesh that out into a full song. It's easy to jot an idea down with Korg Gadget, and to also fine-tune that idea. Also the way the gyro is implemented can lead to very expressive automation. In which case it would shine powerfully, since - as mentioned - some of the plugins are very good and easily worth the price of the package alone. I think Korg Gadget would be best used as a standalone instrument / groovebox / drum machine, hooked up to an external multitrack, for recording small phrases externally. They seem to have spent a lot of time and effort in the multiplayer / co-op / gyroscope aspects, and not so much in the simple quality of life functionality in the sequencer itself. If you want to loop say a 1 minute part of the song, you'd have to do it manually, via stop and play, keeping restarting from a certain spot. No option to loop anything other than one "scene". The DAW feels cramped and it's hard to distinguish what is going on at a glance.
Though it is easy to get a four-bar groove going, it's more difficult to compose a full arrangement. Despite the interesting plugins in all honesty the sequencer aspect itself leaves a lot to be desired. There's not even any option to bounce your saved track's master channel into an audio file. Some of the Plugins do have effects modules built in, but it would have been nice if the mixer itself had more to it. Even though the mixer controls are sparse (literally only volume control, reverb send, pan, mute/solo. A few of the included plugin instruments are extremely high quality and it's possible to get a good groove going with ease. I've also found the Gyro controls to be extremely useful in this title, for fine-tuning faders and dials.
There is now patches updating it to have more or less full touchscreen capabilities for all visible controls / faders / drumpads / note sequencing, et al. A few of the included plugin instruments are extremely high quality and it's possible I've had this for a couple of years now.
