LPChip: ".could eventually be a requirement for OpenMPT for iPad,Android: You must also use a keyboard." Maybe by the time I wait, something like that LimboPC app (to virtualise something like Win98) would mature enough to be an option.

Ultimately, I decided one day I might go with something like a GPDWin2 (a later revision) or similar so I can actually use wonderful software like OpenMPT, because it's been 5 years and only drum-machines and sample-pads and other DJ-centric toys are more popular than ever on the Playstore.

I really should look into doing that with MIDI - how to transpose notes in a range AND move them into a separate channel, to then more easily set up instruments in OpenMPT the way I do - but that's a different topic.

MIDI gets more decent and plentiful but trying to convert MIDI to say IT is not great for me, the way I compose things with samples for every half or full octave. One last thought, if you guys ever find yourselves capable of porting the code into a completely native UNIX system, I would be honored, as a designer, to help with graphic design for the interface on the project, and I am sure there are other designers here who would love to help too.Īs for Android, I've been trying off and on for 5 years now to find something to complement OpenMPT for on-the-go composing, with a format like XM or IT, and the only thing (still) is MilkyTracker which is borderline unusable, even after getting bluetooth peripherals for my phone. Thank you again for informative replies, and I hope you are both well, I also hope the post gave you a little bit of inspiration to think outside the box, which is something we all need. Also I did expect the OSs on the common devices would be a problem. I admit I was thinking of a completely scaled down kind of version, because I realize the tablets out there are not as capable as the average PC. It would be a great thing to have epic mobile support for this wonderful software, but I fully understood the whole concept was a large leap into the dark. Thank you both for great pragmatic replies.

I thought as much, but I decided to bring up the topic anyways as a thought experiment / food for thought kind of thing.

Its a bit more relaxed for Android devices, since you're not bound to specific hardware for development, but the yearly license fee for the Play Store is not optional. I don't think you would want that.įor Apple devices, not only are you required to have access to a mac (its the only supported method to develop for iOS devices), but also have to pay a yearly license fee. Try to input notes, instruments and effects with parameters in a cell in a channel, with a touch input.

Trying to select a range of notes and/or effects, even across channels, would be a pain with a touch input. Most music trackers can only be controlled with a more precise input method, like mouse for selection and drag'n'drop actions or some kind of keyboard (for example LSDJ on Game Boy), and there are also lots of keyboard shortcuts, that simply can't be mapped to touch commands. The main reason for the never-to-be mobile version: The UI is not meant to be used with a touchscreen, and there is a distinction between touch interaction and mouse interaction. And there is not UNIX integration, and the bit of non-Windows code is more to make it work together with Wine (which simulates a Windows environment). This may change with a planned port to Qt in the far far future, but I don't think there will ever be a port to mobile devices. At the moment, OpenMPT heavily relies on Windows-native functionality.
