Here's my first song with Korg Gadget for Nintendo Switch!
Also, here are some of my thoughts on it:
+ Joy Con navigation is really good. Using the shortcut tools on "L" makes music creation pretty quick.
+ Using motion control to manipulate knobs is incredible. I'm definitely tweaking sounds way more than before.
+ The Joy Con can be used as an instrument by pressing buttons to play notes on a piano. It's a great alternative to a midi keyboard.
+ If you have enough controllers, you can use the multiplayer mode as a single player mode. Each controller can control a different instrument.
+ Making music with a Gamecube controller is pretty fun.
+ Video recording is supported. You can quickly share 30 second snippets of your song with others.
+ Making music with friends and family on the big screen is pretty fun. This is definitely the purpose of Gadget for Switch. It has been marketed that way, too.
- No audio export (but that hasn't stopped me)
- Limited touch functionality. You can't navigate with touch, edit the piano roll, or manipulate knobs. You can only touch the keys of the piano. Having touch control would be nice for people who want options.
- It's pretty easy to overwrite saves if you're not careful. I think it should have a "Save" and "Save As" function like in DSN-12. (After more use, this isn't really a problem for me actually)
- I haven't found a way to reorganize entire scenes. It's tough to quickly mess around with song structure. The best thing to do for now is to Insert a scene where you want it and copy and paste clips individually.
- No single Joy Con support. You can't share the experience of making music with others with just the Switch itself. You need to have extra controllers.
- No online project file sharing. Local file sharing is supported, but I think online sharing would be MUCH more convenient.
I'm probably gonna have to get a capture card one day.
