GarageBand - powerful, but hard to get into full flow. Frustrating lack of deep dive - you can tweak presets but not build patches from scratch.
Korg Gadget - full control over the synths. Pretty good piano-roll style editing, but hard to record live. Also, I think it’s something in the default reverb that gives everything a very contemporary sound... not great if you’re not a fan of that sound.
