KORG Gadget Bilbao Sample Chopping │ Tutorial - haQ attaQ 168

[@johndeggendorf7826]

Jakob, an old school midi guy in the US of A thanks you for these excellent tutorials. You make it easy. It's a great time to be an electronic musician!

[@JakobHaq]

+John Deggendorf Aw, thank you so much! Glad you find my videos useful. =D

[@Stendekmusic]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was so hesitant to get Gadget until I saw how fun you made chopping up samples looked. I’m really enjoying the thrill of putting together kits from my own sound library. Cheers to you bro!

[@tomblaze2]

Rawcutz Samples boy - love those kits

[@CMane]

Thanks for the tutorial. The bit rate conversion part, I didn’t know about!

[@robertsyrett1992]

I definitely need more gadget tutorials.

[@JakobHaq]

I'll have to make more! =D

[@davidjohn9006]

You amaze me with your knowledge! 👍🏽🇦🇺

[@mankismelbournejay]

Very helpful, especially the loading the sample workflow!! Thanks!

[@JakobHaq]

+J Brown My pleasure! I'm glad you found the video useful! =D

[@T0dK0n]

Learned a few things in this video! Thanks man! Thought the group buttons were for assigning fx on/off in bulk for some reason. Also never thought of either creating my own loop and importing it in and slicing it within, was painstakingly importing individual samples this whole time of pre-chopped loops. Used the start knobs for glitching effects though :D.

[@JakobHaq]

Glad you found the video helpful! Have fun sampling! =D

[@perrypelican9476]

These tutorials are great.

[@JakobHaq]

+Perry Pelican Glad you find them useful! =D

[@Tmidiman]

Thanks Jakob, just what I needed.

[@adeevision]

Can this ne controlled by pads on the elctribe by setting the midi channel in bilbao ?

[@SONGSTICKS]

Hi, I'm thinking about getting the Korg Gadget 2, it's on the app store at £39.99 for the full version but info on exactly what you get for that is a bit ambiguous. Exactly how many of the listed gadgets do you get when you buy the full version and how much in app purchase is required? Also... can I open it in AUM so I can add other apps and effects into the mix? Your help would be much appreciated. Cheers Gary

[@CruxMo]

Great tutorial as always! Thanks!

[@JakobHaq]

+Kevin Morant My pleasure! =D

[@hakanarblom6842]

Hi Jakob, when you imported the sample, did you do that for each knob? Samma sample för varje knapp, så att säga.

[@JakobHaq]

+Håkan Årblom Yes, thats exactly what I did! ☀️

[@Khordmaster]

Seems very tedious to have to do that initial step for every pad individually?

[@AJC19811]

is korg gadget available for iPhone5?????

[@JakobHaq]

+Andrew Crump It used to be, but not anymore I think. ...ok I just read the description on the AppStore and I quote: "iPhone 6 or later is recommended. 5/5c/4S are not supported due to differences in screen size and CPU speed." :(

[@AJC19811]

Sucks as I'm getting iPhone 5s lol can you recommend any other Good apps for beat making

[@heymarkmckay]

Hi, does Bilbao have “16 levels” like an MPC? Where a sample in 1 pad is pitched across all the pads? Is there a way to do this in Gadget?

[@JakobHaq]

+Mark McKay Unfortunately no, neither Bilbao or Abu Dhabi have that ability. Something I'm still hoping that KORG will introduce in the future.

[@remy5356]

Hello Jakob, sorry for replying to an old video. I’m trying to get Bilbao in sync between iOS and desktop with usersamples. It works between phone and iPad but opening a project with Bilbao on desktop doesn’t place the user samples. The original usersample folder is copied from desktop gadget to iOS devices.. made a beat that I want to finish on desktop but it doesn’t open the usersamples. Can you point me in a direction to fix this?

[@CosMical-Scales-HonoRebeLion]

ThreeHandSolute to you Master Haq Attaq 👊🏿✊🏿✌🏿

[@JakobHaq]

+HonoRebeLion HonoRebeLion Aw thank you so much! ✌🏼👊🏼✊🏼

[@ciskid23]

Is there a gadget or way I can input my own sample like a bass sample and turn it into an instrument across all the keys

[@JakobHaq]

+ciskid23 Unfortunately no! That's something I feel that KORG should add to Gadget soon right?!

[@ciskid23]

I hope so I need that, beathawk does it with a touch of a button, pad mode/keyboard mode and I hope they are working on a module of the korg trinity, I actually own that and those sounds are better then the triton in my opinion @ Jakob haq

[@jimmuolel1021]

Nice video. Thank you

[@frankramrath8433]

I think about reducing my "installed" Apps on the iPAd from hundreds Music Apps to only some special Retro Synths Cubasis as 2. DAW and AUM as Audiomixer with Effects and recording. So i use Gadget MORE and MORE. . (Plus some nice little Hardware Synths for "creative knobbing".

[@gonzaloastudillo2262]

Gracias por el video, me ayudó un montón. Thanks!

[@hostnik777]

I love flutey loops!

[@JakobHaq]

+jmacatx Me too, I'm a huge sucker for em. ☀️

[@walterpreston9663]

Great job Liked and Subscribed

[@lukewilliams7020]

Cool video. Great accent! Couple of questions. When you repitch a sample is there any way of keeping the tempo the same ? Like flex time in logic or melodyne etc. And is it possible to run impc alongside gadget and include it in a song track?

[@JakobHaq]

+luke williams Thank you! =D regarding Bilbao and sampling. There is no time-stretch with pitch correction abilities inside Bilbao. It's basically just a pitch so tempo will not be maintained when pitching. I usually use Blocs Wave for all my time-stretch/pitch correction needs and export to other apps through it. I also sometimes use Cubasis for doing the same thing.

[@eugenedegraffinreid5264]

As always, thanks

[@JakobHaq]

+Eugene Degraffinreid My pleasure! 🖖🏼👽

[@TheDoodle999]

I really need to write to Korg regarding Bilbao. The max sample length is just, hold yourself...5 seconds! You can't put, for ex., a 16 bar sample into it, that's really bad, should be at least 16 bars @ 120 bpm to leave enough freedom. Besides the attack issue (not available in a sampler???) it's almost impossible to set the knobs back to, for ex. 0 (Zero) had a hard time yesterday with it. Gave back Abu Dhabi yesterday, for this I rather use Samplr with Alexandernauts link to midi ;-)

[@TozBourne]

This for the tutorial, very good!

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure Toz!

[@ej1mshan]

Wouldn't a fade out feature at the end of the sample avoid the click your speaking about like in a DAW? Good video.

[@JakobHaq]

Only when the player reaches the end. When your triggering stuff quickly it klick say the beginning at the sample. A softer attack would most likely eliminate this.

[@ej1mshan]

Thanks. A fade out works ok on the DAW because the sample can be on different tracks. Is Bibao included in the new update?

[@JakobHaq]

+Jim Shannon Bilbao has been available since last early last year if i remember correctly. Both Bilbao and Abu Dhabi came at the same time. Before that, there where no way of using samples inside Gadget.

[@ej1mshan]

Thanks. Every time Gadget is on sale, I have no cash :( Sale or no sale, its on my radar before year's end.

[@TheDoodle999]

Jim Shannon It's on black friday sale now, I'm away need to get little pile of itunes cash +15% extra from the local supermarket :D

[@JoLuMSosa]

Can you import 24 bit samples?

[@JakobHaq]

+JoLu MSosa Yes, but the samples have to be in 44.1KHz. :)

[@DimitriVisserUtrecht]

Awesome!

[@chrisc9339]

Hi. Thanks for the video. I’m trying to upload some of my sample packs to use with Gadget. I just installed Audio Share and uploaded some. Then I can get samples into Gadget with Zurich, which seems fine for vocals, risers, etc., but not really for drum samples. Ideally I’d like to import these into Bilboa but it just has iTunes and Dropbox import options. Do you know my best options for resolving this? I would happily use iTunes but I can’t work out how to do it. Thanks for the help.

[@JakobHaq]

Christopher Conlon hello! 😊 what version of Gadget are you using? This video is a bit old and outdated because KORG Gadget got full support for Audio Share Audio/sample import back in march 2017. Your Gadget version might need an update.

[@chrisc9339]

Jakob Haq - Thanks for the reply. I figured it out after, just had to use the sample button. Thanks!

[@JakobHaq]

Yay, that's awesome! Have fun making music! 👊🏼

[@chrisc9339]

Hi mate. I have another question if you don't mind. How do I go about setting up my iPad with Korg Gadget to a midi keyboard? Can I do that then route it into Ableton Live, then record the gadgets in with my tracks? I have a midi Nektar Impact keyboard. This doesn't have midi ins or outs, just the USB power socket at the back, I presume this would be no good? I do have an Access Virus To. This has midi ins/outs/through, and seems as though you can put it in midi mode, but my knowledge of the TI is very limited. I also have NI Maschine with a midi option there. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Chris

[@goonknox]

No looping?

[@paddling_out]

Great video, thanks. Was on the fence about buying Bilbao but you convinced me, especially now that I see how easy it is to import samples (as an Android user, being able to just drag and drop files into the phone, I never know ahead of time if it's possible on an iOS device). Anyway, what's the app you are using at the end playing the "Weekend" beat? And is that a separate app doing the toolbar thing on the left?

[@JakobHaq]

+lose3111 Thank you! I'm happy you found the video useful! That other app is Figure by Allihoopa. It's free so go download it now! 😉 I've got both Gadget and Figure loaded in Audiobus and the toolbar helps when one needs to switch between apps or turn play/stop/recording functions of.

[@marlenedegrood]

Thank You!! 👍

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure! =D

[@TheDoodle999]

Oh my, how could they forget about the attack, so important!!!

[@tomblaze2]

So helpful

[@onimagoo]

thnks ,good ! nice video

[@JakobHaq]

My pleasure! =D

[@cotainc]

I'm looking to cut the beginning part to a song I have in iTunes. Is Bilbao what I need to cut the intro and use that piece as a sample?

[@JakobHaq]

+Brandon Cota This is not the type of thing you're looking for. Bilbao is a sampler plugin for KORG Gadget and isn't equipped to edit samples like that. You need an audio editor like " TwistedWave audio editor " or " Hokusai Audio Editor ".

[@DePrepper]

Hello, is your soundcloud the best place to listen to your music?

[@JakobHaq]

+DePrepper Actually no. The fact is that most recent music is right here on this channel in the form of live performances videos and as music inside my tutorials, reviews etc. I haven't made an album in ages. Since I started making videos I put all my time into that instead of album work. I have an album in progress..but it's extremely slow work since I prioritise the channel content first.

[@johndeggendorf7826]

I used to love fruit loops…now I'm a shredded wheat man.

[@djwilmer7252]

I love your videos but don't you think this takes away from the creative process? Just my thought. I find that blocs and Impc work better with samples than Bilbao.

[@JakobHaq]

+Djwil Mer That's a fair question, thanks for asking. Blocs Wave is an incredibly fast sampler to work with in my opinion. When it comes to creative processes, there aren't many others that do stuff quite like Blocs. However, this episode was a direct response to the live video I did in where I'm playing Bilbao using an iRig pads controller. This is something you cannot do with blocs wave. The whole playing "thing" is also part of a creative process for me. Now iMPC Pro on the other side, works with a multitude of midi controllers. The reason why I chose Bilbao for my performance is that I just prefer working inside KORG Gadget. Gadget has most of the tools I usually reach for in terms of sound generators. Also, I can't put my finger on it but for me, Gadget has a type of environment that I get lots of inspiration from. This leads to me being more creative. So between Bilbao and iMPC, it's just a matter of personal preferences.

[@ArtemSolop]

Best review! I'm trying to get Bilbao or Abu Dhabi for my Gadget.

[@JakobHaq]

+Artem Solop I'd love to know which one you decide to get in the end! :)

[@ArtemSolop]

I decided to buy Bilbao

[@bakerbakerbaker305]

Whaooo through korg gadget wow

[@FuZZbaLLbee]

Nice gadget, but still no attack or looping functionality.

[@gkilm]

jeeez, such a long process. Not the youtubers fault, but a lack on Gadgets part. I love Gadget but for sample chopping I have to use something faster like iMPC. Somehow file management feels so much more cumbersome on Gadget than any other iOS daw

[@kitschbreeder8546]

I wish you would clarify that DROPBOX is not free- its actully pretty pricey and a recoccuring fee.

[@JakobHaq]

Dropbox offered free signup accounts when this video was made years ago... Nowadays I mostly use iCloud for storing and mobile my samples. Less expensive too.

[@kitschbreeder8546]

@@JakobHaq Sweet. Thanks.

[@JakobHaq]

It’s definitely the easiest way to go. It’s the one thing that Apple does really well, especially the AirDrop thing. Made my life very easy.
