Yeah this is pretty great! Was kind of hoping it would also install VSTs for the 5 gadgets included. But figured that was wishful thinking.
Having some fun with this. I dropped something to Allihoopa, but doesn't look like the Gadget LE side of the site is live yet. I can only view my piece when I'm logged in and the Gadget LE page is incomplete https://allihoopa.com/apps/gadgetle
But it will be fixed soon I'm sure. And then I'll see if my drop registered as the first!

It's free and I'm having some fun with it. I plugged in my Korg MicroKEY 37 and got access to three more gadgets. And I still have access to them when it's not plugged in.

Wait, having Korg gear unlocks more gadgets? Will my NanoKey work? Will I get more gadgets if I plug in my Monologue? :)

Yup! NanoKey should work! It just unlocks 3 more gadgets, not additional per Korg controller ;)

What happens if you own other korg gear, like hardware synths? Does it need to have a USB connection and be a controller?

All I know is what the description says:

You could always try it out and report back :puf_smile:

NanoKey 2: Unlocked Brussels, Miami, and Chiang Mai.
Monologue: No result (though it might unlock the same three that the NanoKey did)

I believe it's the same for everything. I got the same three with my MicroKEY 37.

The only korg product I have with USB is the sq-1, doubt that would register as a controller :S
