For Maemo Diablo, timidity is available, as well as e.g. MilkyTracker, although I didn't actually use the latter and it's not a sequencer in the sense of a recorder but a tracker-like editor

A port of e.g. sooperlooper would also be nice (and doable from my point of view).

hey people, i can't remember what i wrote on a similar topic and i cant really focus too much because my lady's water broke last night and we're kinda irked because my unborn son is being a stubborn little stinker lol....so i need to get this out before i forget...

So anyway, maybe we are over-thinking it... Has anyone ever heard of Traxxpad for PSP? Or Beaterator? Simple User Interfaces... Now take a look at Milky Tracker... EVEN SIMPLER... I will be reading up and downloading programs to help me learn so that i can figure out what i need.

Here is what i am thinking... If you take the simplicity from Milky Tracker and the look and feel of Traxxpad, what do you get...??? in my opinion, almost a portable version of LMMS/FL Studio....

i am so happy now.. @nightradio

sunvox will be ported and it looks very promising:-)

Hi everyone.

This thread is of very high interest to me, I'm looking for a viable portable music box ever since... Well it's been a long time. I tried a lot of software and I'm going to lay just what I know so far :
.

• Sunvox (SDL-based, runs on WinMo, PalmOS, iPhone and counting)
  Sunvox is a tracker, a form of sequencer where notes are entered as numerical values along a vertical multitrack time-line
  
  Pros
  -It's *rock* solid, I don't remember hanging it even with a lot of instruments.
  -It has *soft synths* you can produce sound not only by using samples, but using soft synths, and this, gentlemen, is a deal maker.
  Cons
  -No recording
  -It's a tracker

  .
• Bhajis loops (PalmOS)
  Bhajis has been painstakingly developped by Olivier Gillet and everyone thinking about a music sequencer on a mobile platform should have seen this :
  http://www.chocopoolp.com/bj_quicktour.php
  
  Pros
  -Same as Sunvox, it *runs* ; I torture-tested it and it never failed me
  Cons
  -No soft-synths, only samples
  -The record function is not synced to the beat (this is a HW limitation I guess)
  http://www.chocopoolp.com/
  .
• Reloop (Android)
  I did'nt use it a lot, just made a few loops just to check it out
  
  Pros
  -It exists
  Cons
  -The interface is clumsy, a lot of waisted space, I guess it's still WIP
  -No soft synths, just samples
  -No recording

What do I want ? (I gonna go ahead and assume we ALL want it)

• A sequencer with unlimited (read : limited by the HW-RAM, CPU, etc) tracks that can be audio tracks (samples) and/or MIDI tracks that can trigger synths, typically for loooong padding notes that span over several patterns
• Automation (a timeline along the track that can automate parameters, typically volume and stereo panning, but effects parameters as well) - before you scream "overkill", check Bhajis loops, its automation implementation is state of the art
• A record function, sync'd to the beat (with a fall back to a simple "click" metronome when the HW ressources are too low)
• A simple interface, no fancy buttons and shades, something ergonomically optimized

On the desktop, I'm happily using Ardour (that has all the bells and whistles of a real powerful DAW) and QTractor (that only lacks Automation) but they use jack and well... Should we ? And I like ableton Live a lot.

And while we're at "what we want" : I'd really like something modular, using existing devs like LADSPA plugins & synth (fluidsynth, freeverb, etc) in a QT app (Qtractor could really be a good base I guess) and with a streamlined "ableton-like" interface (Bhajis wrote the book about it, we should take of lot of pages from it) but it kind conflicts with the "monolithic" approach that rule-and-work in phone apps..?

What can I do to help make it happen ?
-Interface design
-Beta-testing
-Maintain web ressources
-Everything that I have the capacities and the time to do.

Thank you for baring w/ my bad English

HEy xaccrocheur,

Bhajis loops works great for editing Midi files for the Palm, but they never put in serial support so you can't use it with external synth modules.
Mixpad from MiniMusic plays Midi files GREAT from the Palm devices and with Serial FIx and a simple midi to serial adapter it runs anything midi you hook up to you Palm!

It's a pain in the but having to use two programs (one to create and edit midi songs and another to play them through your hardware) but that's were we are at with Palm software apps....most of the industry moved on to iphones and other devices...


keep shinin

jerm

go to sunvox page and download zip file from link at the top. you will find deb file inside! amazing app...

thank you @nightradio
it was one year ago, when i asked you (in this thread) to port sunvox to maemo, and now we have this nice program. This is such a nice christmas present.

Is there a chance to get it into the repositorys?

here a video of the sunvox master alex.
such nice songs

:)
Yes, i think about the repositories. At the moment can't say exactly when :) But it is in my plans.
Now i'm working on the new SunVox features and further improvements.

Also it would be interesting to know how the SunVox works on other Maemo devices. Is there anybody with N800 / 770 ? :)

oh this ist nice..that you continue developement.
a adsr envelope module oder al simple compressor would be amazing..(a seperate module of the sampler's graphical envelope would be perfect or just a simple adsr one..that can be automated)
i hope that sunvox will also run on meego in future.:-)
