Honestly, this is the best beginner music software I've ever heard of. I still can't make the slightest sense out of PC music software. But you can see on my channel playlist how quickly I improved using this "game"
"They say limitations brings creativity" and I ALSO do believe there's something to this! As an animator, I started out with Flipnote (a long time ago lol) and part of the charm for it was the simplicity and limited tools that comes with it.
It’s a great starting place, and most importantly it’s fun! Even if your not making anything particularly good, it’s fun to play around with which I think is the most important part of anything creative :)
There certainly is as it's what'd taught me tio self teach myself ti DJ lol but i did ut using gadget toy like game apps such as this ita so fun its an addiction now i need real gear but it cost a lot
oaft, my boy Kutski has a gaming channel!? I'm working through my eshop wishlist sorting out what I plan on picking up and what I'm deleting. Your intro was absolutely epic btw, I am a massive UK hardcore fan. Subbed.
I hear you, I just kinda like the way it is an (almost) dedicated games console tho. Like they have web browsers on most consoles and they are terrible. I know it wouldn't hurt to have things like that on it, if you don't like it, don't use it etc, but I kinda admire the commitment to their vision
not sure tbh, there are some definite FM sounding presets in some synths but generally the controls are not that complex to assign different ocs to modulate others etc. It's more filters and ASDR type stuff, but I'm sure there must be some. I really haven't fully explored them all yet tbh, even after 35hrs, I found a few that are my 'go to' ones
One of the synths, or gadgets as they’re called, is an FM synth pretty much “Chiangmai Mai” is its name. It’s great, sounds like the old Sega Mega Drive games console. You can create your own sounds and save them, build up a library of your own. I love it. There’s also Ebina which are FM samples from an arcade system by Taito. You can manipulate the samples really well. Keep in mind, it comes as dlc which you have to buy separately.
Check out Composer coming at the end of October to Switch. It has an NES, Super NES, and Megadrive sound set...and it has a virtual piano you can use to play in notes, and its got full touch screen capabilities
Brilliant, worth getting ? I still use music 2000 on ps1 but wanting a little try on something else, wish I started on pc years ago , love making hardcore , have a listen if you ever get a chance lol
@@KutskiGaming Oh yeah, totally forgotten about Dance Ejay. I have just gotten back into music making. Got myself a second hand MPC X. I wish I had this thing 25 years ago!
it's expensive plus not to mention you can't save the songs especially if you don't have a midi controller but unlike Rhytmik Ultimate on the 3ds, you can export the songs either on Wav or MP3 on the 3ds
I've haven't actually checked the touch stuff recently tbh. I wasn't a huge fan of it so even when on hand held I mostly use the controller now I've got the hang of that it's pretty fast! I'll check next time I'm on it and reply :)
@@KutskiGaming thank you. it's on sale right now. If they allow full touch control I'll pick it up. otherwise i won't. I used gadget on my ipad for a long time. but no longer have ios devices.
Yeah you can make any style with it tbh. You have to be realistic, it’s not going to be the same quality as what you could make in a ‘pro’ studio but just to make beats for your own satisfaction this will be great
There is a workaround of sorts, software does support USB typing keyboard. Notes can be played off the keyboard...bottom row white keys, row above black keys.....then row above that white, above that black. Get 2 1/2 octave range. It's not 100% ideal yet better then nothing. Sidenote " tab " on keyboard toggles it from being what described above to being completly linear chromatic.
not that i'm aware of unfortunately! not easily anyway. there is a way to share project with a series of generated QR codes. I guess that lets you import to the phone / tablet version and maybe from their you can export to the PC version? but I only own the switch version so I'm just theorising :)
Unfortunately not. There is an option to share tracks to friends using QR codes, but it’s really quite long winded / convoluted and I think that only allows you to import to another switch. The only way I found to ‘export’ is to record tracks out of the headphone output while playing a project
@@Andy_DJ34M_Hiams I could do this one the main kutski page tbh. Only issue is I have never really used FL so not sure how great my perfective would be as I wouldn't have a reference to the original app I'm sure it is based on
@@KutskiGaming yeah it may be tricky but then your review could be from your experience as opposed to a regular FL user. I've never really used a DAW period but did buy FL Mobile. I found it fairly easy but limited (I probably didn't understand all the functions tbf) and fiddly on a small screen. That combined with limited experience in DAWs and having two kids recently mean I gave up on it for now. I guess if you picked it up and smashed out a hardcore tune it would inspire me to give it a go. I'm sure it's entirely possible with the right skills time and motivation.

I’ve got 880 hours in Korg Gadget Switch. I feel like I know it in and out by now xD
OH WOW!!! haha! That's super dedicated!!!!
Did they ever implement full touch screen support for the switch version? Including piano roll?
@@rokko_fable yes, literally just tried it because I couldn't remember, and you can enter notes via touchscreen
@@rorz999 that's great news. thank you.
Ok time for you to get it on IPAD/Mac or PC VST's and really go in
oaft, my boy Kutski has a gaming channel!? I'm working through my eshop wishlist sorting out what I plan on picking up and what I'm deleting. Your intro was absolutely epic btw, I am a massive UK hardcore fan. Subbed.
haha glad you found me :D thanks for the sub, hope you enjoy the content :)
@@KutskiGaming yah was all this music we heard in the video made using thia gadget thing?
Looooong time listener dude, love your stuff. Would be amazing to see a mini mix done from this haha!
thanks mate :)
@@KutskiGaming ❤️
wow, impressive! :O Big love 'Through the Fire & Flames'

@@KutskiGaming I get ya :) I suppose there's no need to have Netflix on the Switch when it's on our mobile phones anyways haha
thanks for making this video- it was really helpful to making my decision to buy it!
Ah that good to know it was helpful! Have fun with it, feel free to post any of your creations in the comments here for us all to check out :)
I reckon you could pump out retro modtracker sounding tunes with ease with this. Are there any FM sounds?

@@thegamegifter01 definitely grabbing a copy of Composer.
It reminds me of a more in-depth Mario Paint
Brilliant, worth getting ? I still use music 2000 on ps1 but wanting a little try on something else, wish I started on pc years ago , love making hardcore , have a listen if you ever get a chance lol
Yeah if you’re looking for something fun to play around with this is definitely the best option on consoles
Anyone remember Music 2000 on the PS1?
hahah i 'played' this at a friends! Dance EJay too XD
@@KutskiGaming Oh yeah, totally forgotten about Dance Ejay. I have just gotten back into music making. Got myself a second hand MPC X. I wish I had this thing 25 years ago!

This is cool, I'm gonna pick this up. Thanks for the review :) also subbed :)
thanks for the sub! make sure you send me clips of anything you make on Gadget :)
did they ever make everything touchable? can you use the touch screen to draw in notes?
I've haven't actually checked the touch stuff recently tbh. I wasn't a huge fan of it so even when on hand held I mostly use the controller now I've got the hang of that it's pretty fast! I'll check next time I'm on it and reply :)

I used gadget on my ipad for a long time. but no longer have ios devices.
@@rokko_fable Pretty sure it's not full touch
@@rokko_fable you can do most things using touch now, it was one of the firmware updates
They have a app for that
Can you record your voice?
Is korg on the switch good for current hip-hop and R&b making ? I don’t know if I should pick this up or not but it is on sale for £24
Yeah you can make any style with it tbh. You have to be realistic, it’s not going to be the same quality as what you could make in a ‘pro’ studio but just to make beats for your own satisfaction this will be great
Love this mate great review looks fun too
This is pretty cool, might pick this up for a bit of fun on the move
defo worth the asking price imho :)
Retweeted this to the head of the team in Japan!
Ah thats awesome!!! Thanks for that :D
Is this only for happy hardcore?
no not at all! you can basically make anything on it, I'm just a sucker for HHC haha!
Would be great if you could plug a midi keyboard in!
There is a workaround of sorts, software does support USB typing keyboard. Notes can be played off the keyboard...bottom row white keys, row above black keys.....then row above that white, above that black. Get 2 1/2 octave range. It's not 100% ideal yet better then nothing. Sidenote " tab " on keyboard toggles it from being what described above to being completly linear chromatic.
No USB midi? I already know you can't export which is crazy.
What about VST support?
Can you export tracks to the PC?
not that i'm aware of unfortunately! not easily anyway. there is a way to share project with a series of generated QR codes. I guess that lets you import to the phone / tablet version and maybe from their you can export to the PC version? but I only own the switch version so I'm just theorising :)
Can I export my switch file?
Unfortunately not. There is an option to share tracks to friends using QR codes, but it’s really quite long winded / convoluted and I think that only allows you to import to another switch. The only way I found to ‘export’ is to record tracks out of the headphone output while playing a project
Would like to see you do a review of FL Studio Mobile too 👍
Is that gaming though perhaps not 🤔
