KORG has announced today Gadget 2, the second generation of its music production software. The best news first: All desktop gadget plugins will receive Windows support in Gadget v2. To date, the new features are: MIDI out with a dedicated module, fade in/out function… More information about the new features will follow. In a new Gadget version new instruments must not be missing.
Gadget 2 comes in total with 6 new gadgets including
- Memphis (Gadget version of the MS-10/MS-20 Synthesizer app)
- Pompei (Gadget version of the PolySix Synthesizer app)
- Taipei (MIDI Out control module)
- Durban (bass effect processor)
- two more unknown Gadgets – Update: OTORII & EBINA
A nice gadget 2 version in my opinion. I still lack support for external AUV3 plugins or even the gadgets as AUV3 plugin.

2 Unknown Gadgets Are!
The two unknown gadgets are already longer known if you are looking for something. Last year, KORG announced two new DLCs for Gadget for Switch. So it can be very good that these also come on the other platforms.
OTORII re-creates the classic SEGA sounds, including music from OutRun and After Burner. The second is a EBINA that re-creates the classic Taito Sounds, including themes from Darius and Ninja Warriors.
The scheduled release date is February 2019. The new KORG Gadget 2 will come out for iOS, Mac but also as Gadget 2 plugins for PC/Mac. The iOS version is a free update.
The added gadgets will be available as in-app purchase. The Mac version is available as a paid version upgrade that includes all new Gadget plugins. The plugin version comes without the standalone version but only with individual PC/Mac plugins.
