![]() Calling in a sample with each note instead of being able to transpose a sample that's already playing, or bend the sample up or down to the next note, that's really a huge part of what I wish I could do on the handheld during the actual process of composing the music, instead of needing to wait until I get back to a PC to do it. It just plays the sample as it's called in and there's pretty much no effects to use at all. The problem with NitroTracker is that you can't really bend notes around or use effects like phasing/bandpassing. Then I can continue to articulate the notes to sound more natural and double many of the instruments to make them sound broader. This increases the quality of the music significantly, especially for the lower octaves, while retaining the composition. I assumed there might be some Android device out there with a touchscreen (keyboard) and powerful (swappable) battery that had some tracker software available for it.Īt the moment what I do on the DS is use C5 versions of all of my samples, 16bit 11KHz, then when I open the XM in OpenMPT I convert to IT (MPTM) and replace all of the 1-sample instruments with a 4-sample (C2-C5) sample-map instruments 24bit 44KHz. If I can't actually get the XM/IT files back off the device then that kind of defeats the purpose too. I really had my heart set on something that could fit into my pocket much like the NDS. So some requirements would be an extremely good battery life (preferably easily changeable batteries), touchscreen keyboard, excellent audio hardware and expandable memory like SDHC microSD support. I'm devoting a whole 2GB microSD to it these days, but eventually sometime soon I would like to move onto something more powerful finally. I've been using NitroTracker on NintendoDS for a few years and I've really loved it, but these days it certainly has its limits and sometimes is not very stable, and sadly I've lost stuff due to that, plus it's hard for it to keep up with my ever-expanding library of samples. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a good handheld for composing complex XM/IT music? Something that can be brought into OpenMPT and enhanced with bigger samples (a broader sample-map), more unique patterns, more controls, etc. Sorry if that has already been discussed, I've only briefly looked around. *(can't save any editable formats, only WAV/MP3?.) *(can't save in free version, unknown formats.) *(this screwed my player apps when I installed it last time.) *(another paid app, also can't save correct formats?) *(extremely pricey, may not save the formats?) with _custom_ imported samples (_not_ MIDI/soundpads/drum-machines/etc.):. ![]() (A list of handheld (preferably free Android) tracker apps for composing MOD/XM/IT/etc.
