Well, I don't think I need JACK for my mobile uses. More just noting down compositions, playing with sounds. > On 12/17/2014 01:39 PM, Diego Simak wrote:> >> 2014-12-17 16:58 GMT-02:00 david: >> >> Any ideas for good music composition, synthesis and/or recording >> apps for Android? >> >> AUDIOID >> really nice TB303, 808 and 909 emulation, lots of fun >> >> KOSM >> audio composition app based on gravity and mass, once you get it is very >> addictive >> >> MikroWave >> from the same developer of Kosm, haven't tested it..

What kind of USB cable did you have to get to have the tablet function as a USB host? > On 12/17/2014 01:17 PM, Neil wrote: >> I've played with Caustic a little, and I used to have a fun theremin app >> on my phone that used the NFC proximity sensor.

I >> do all my music work on Linux PC. I do mine on Linux PC, too, just wanted something mobile. The Tegra Note has decent speakers and great headphone output, so I like it. I like Caustic. It seems to be well-designed for phones and tablets. Didn't know there was a desktop version! According to this site, Caustic for Windows works under WINE: http://jeffhendricks.net/?p=291 I'll have to try that out. For price comparison, a friend is a devotee of FL Studio (from its honest days when they called it "Fruity Loops"). FL Studio Mobile is $19.99. The Reactable Mobile app is $8.91, but Caustic seems to be a lot more versatile. So $8 for Caustic doesn't bother me. So far, Ensemble Composer seems to be a decent basic composition tool. MuseScore for Android seems to only be able to display and play sheet music, not a composition tool. Apparently composing with it requires using the PC version. Thanks for the apps mentioned, it sounds like there's a better selection of good audio apps on Android than good calendar apps ... -- David W.
