had a read of all posts but couldn't find the following out.....
only found out about korg gadget yesterday and running it on ipad2. first time i changed a gadget it crashed but tried again and so far have 3 gadgets running.... will push it to 5 later.
My question is about teying to play a groove on a groovebox and using the gadgets sounds. Is this possible? for example an emx or rs7000 groovebox playing more than one midi channel at once into the ipad/gadgets on different midi channels and then recording the midi data when happy???
In Gadget you can only receive MIDI notes to the active gadget you have focus on (one at a time). Gadget receives on all channels only (Omni) so whatever is playing on whatever channel is going to play to your active gadget.
For example, My EMX1SD has drums broadcasting on MIDI ch 10, Synth 1 on 11, Synth 2 on 12, Synth 3 on 13, etc. If I press play on the EMX with all parts unmuted it will play that chaos into my active gadget.
The solution here is to solo a single EMX instrument part, pick my corresponding gadget, and press play. To record use your free hand to control Gadgets rec/stop simultaneously. Remember Korg hasn't released MIDI clock sync yet which is a sin in my book. They are apparently aware of it and may include it in the August update (Code Name: Santa Clara). Until then your on manual for transport queuing.
If they do provide clock sync and multi-channel multi-gadget similar to Caustic (also awesome on iPad) I'm gonna have even more fun using it with my EMX.
