Music apps (SEQUENCERS) for Android?

[behndy]

yooooooo did a search, found nothing.

moved away from Apple FUCK YESH, love everything about the Annnnnndroid world so much more. 'cept music' y stuff. spoilt for choice with the itunes store, can't find shit i like on google play. Caustic looks okay, but played with it on the plane without any preresearch (IDIOT) and couldna get my head around it. nekid youtube tutorials are the weekend's sechsy, SECHSY plans.

don't need anything crazy verbose. on idevices i was trying to replace a laptop, with this phone i just want a decent sketchpad for quick OH GAWD WHY DON'T I KNOW HOW TO TAKE NOTES THAT MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE PLEASE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THIS IDEA PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE audio jot-downs.

murrrrrrrrrrr?

For quick simple recordings I use tape machine. There's a free demo version but definitely pay the couple bucks to get the full version.

I dunno bout no sequencers. Like drummy bits?

[sonidero]

You said sequencers then you mentioned Caustic which is a modular and awesome then you said you just want to record.?. So I'm not sure, tell me what you want, what you really really want...

[behndy]

I JUST WANT LOVEEEEEEE.

and butts.

always butts.

jia. i don't need to sort anything for recording Real World Playing shtuff, i need a sequencer with a decent drum machine, few synths, real world instrument samples would be neat? but something that lets me tap out a beat idea and record some melody ramblings when i'm out about, something to come back to and flesh out when i have a laptop or a bass?

hurm. am i reading Caustic wrong? i knew it was a modular setup with soft synths, but i thought it had a way to write in midi like sequences for the instruments?

i miss the Korg Electribe emulator on itoons. spent so much damn time with the hardware Electribes the soft version was LOVELY butts.

You should be able to do all that on your android with FL Studio. I can't speak to how good it works, but it sounds like it has the features you want.

You should know that the reason the choices are slimmer on android is because android has an inherent issue with latency in music apps. Or at least it did. I don't know if that has been addressed yet, but at any rate, it would certainly have hindered past development of apps. You probably should have stuck to your iphone if this is a must have function.

Sounds pretty sexy

[sonidero]

Yeah Caustic will do it all, I've been using the iOS version to make modular patches and then run them through pedlol chains...

Have you poked around here??? http://www.musicalandroid.com

So you think the iElectribe is worth it?
Been looking at it and I'm close to pulling the trigger.

[behndy]

hee. Nora BUTTS.

sweet! i'll look to see if there's a latency issue still, and FL Studio (on desktop at least) is way more than i need. i'll check that. yeah, i know iCrud has way more audio options, but i just need an idea pad.

Soni Butts - i have NOT. but ABOUTS TOO.

Derilectibutts - jia. if you like the Electribe stuff it's a SUPER faithful recreation. that sounds great. and has labels for every sub menu button.

[behndy]

hurm. FL Studio is $20 and gets a LOT of bad reviews.

I wish android had Samplr...or any of the amazing apps it has for music, really. I'm probably going to buy an iPad as a music tool because of how awesome they are. :|

[Derelict78]

Yeah samplr and Thor SERIOUSLY cut into my ILF time but, I'm makin music so it's ok.

[sonidero]

Got a 5s for work and filled it with noise apps... Dig into Caustic yo, you might need an external keyboard to make the most of it but it's powerful and sonds dope...

[Deltaphoenix]

I could go Android for phone but man I would never get rid of my iPad for music stuffs, I especially have been getting into Samplr (again) and Werkbench.

I knew there was a latency issue for Android but I am guessing that is being lessened at least because i read that a lot of iOS apps are going to be ported to Android in the near future.

[behndy]

just grabbed MikroWave. suuuuuuper basic, some cheesy toanz, but it has a simple, quick sequencer and midi export.

NIFTY.

SampLrRrrR is SO GOOD. i would love if they did a port.

really, the lack of H9 control is the biggest annoyance of going Android. but fuck it. hated apple so damn much.
