What the? I think Korg needs to get Tatsuya [1] back on board...

Korg is nowadays a top iOS music app producer, with hits like Gadget, iMS-20, iElectribe, etc. They also have Gadget running on the Mac and it costs more than Logic.

Are you talking about Logic DAW software? If so, that's pretty impressive, ballsy even.

Yes, that's about $200 nowadays, Gadget costs $299 (I think they reduced it).

It definitely has fewer features compared to Logic, but it's also significantly easier to make a song with it. Since it got started on the iPad, the UI is simpler and cleaner compared to a traditional DAW.

It's also packing quite a few synths, such as Korg M1, Wavestation and ARP Odyssey, all of them useable as plugins.

He was the lead engineer of the analog synthesizers department; I doubt he would have had much say in this even if he was there.
