and that is likely to explode over the year as support improves. The audio-api itself still leaves much to be desired.Īs pingu pointed out, there has been alot more *interesting* audio software to come out lately. Over the next year or so it will become more prevalent. plus the code is maintained by several ex-android mod developers.so hrmn. ASUS's Jellybean for example is always up to date and ASUS h/w rocks. Only the latest Google Nexus devices support it (though as I type that I realize I've only recently heard that from limited sources (CDM) and its possible that has changed despite people repeating it, because the low-latency news is actually from last July. but there is a catch - the support is limited to specific hardware at the moment. The good news is that Google has actually implemented low-latency support finally in Jellybean. and you havent heard about this, you should check it out. If you already know PD or have coded anything FOR (not in) pd. which is actually pretty impressive, but it's also a very hacky thing to do and you have to learn ALOT upfront just to use it. Initially, the only half decent way to approach it was to use libpd for android. I've programmed on android quite a bit and looked into the many ways to approach realtime audio low latency. I guess the best resource with many (every?) topic-related apps, categorized and updated often. Some topic-related sites, here you can discover more apps (but I suppose the above-mentioned are the best ones in their categories): I really never liked FT and was lazy (or stupid?) enough to study SunVox though it's modularity seems Buzz-like. The reason why I always prefered Impulse Tracker and Buzz to other DAWs and trackers - their ergonomy and intuitivity. Dare say it's a 'must have' app.Ībout SunVox: too much FastTracker-like interface, too many controls on a screen and they are too small. I didn't notice any latency and lagging on my tablet while using it. Can be controlled via USB MIDI controller\keyboard. Has 2 types of synths, one is TB303 clone, another is 2OSC subtractive synth with 2 assignable LFO's, also a nice sampler (can load WAV and SF2) and a drum machine, a mixer with 2 insert fx channels and 8 effects, and a sequencer screen. Not Buzz-like, but really simple and intuitive, with big control buttons, knobs and keys, which I consider to be very important for tablet-size screens, though a bit limited in capabilities, but still powerful enough to make sketches and even decent tunes. mikrowave - nice one, but too limited in features. osonic.SPC - looks rather promising but seemed uncomfortable to use, some times hanged and stuttered. Looking forward to perfomance problems solution. reactable - stutters and hangs after adding more than 4-5 modules, big latency, though the idea is great. Good knews - many promising apps exist and are being developed, latency issue is going to be resolved and it doesn't exist in some apps (or?) on powerful devices (having faster multicore CPU's).Ī few not really Buzz-like, but still nice apps I checked out and found remarkable: I bought an 1 GHz and 1 GB RAM Android tablet recently and of course made a research of available music tools and Android capabilities concerning music and sound production.īad knews - bigger latency and slower perfomance compared to Apple's iOS devices in similar apps because of Android's architecture.
