I don’t know if it’s already live but I remember reading somewhere that the developer of Koala Sampler was working on an Android Version.

That app is truly great :slight_smile:

I once read that the biggest problem with developing audio software for Android was the sheer number of different models of phone with varying specs, and then the varying OS’s on said devices. This made for a porting nightmare. Where as Apple puts out, maybe 2 new phones a year and one standard OS.

yeah, the saddest thing isn’t even the latency per se, but the lack of solution to bring all these apps under one umbrella.

There are many excellent apps that aren’t au though. Some of them are indispensable. I would never give up drumjam, Animoog, nave, etc.

This project has some crowd sourced latency numbers for various iOS and Android devices. It might be helpful in working out if it’s worth putting time into setting up a specific device.

Regardless of platform an audio recorder on your phone is a must have in my opinion.
Recording petrol generator drones, birdsong and many other found sounds has helped me to blur the line between studio and nature/exercise.

That said I have an android and comparatively IOS looks far better for music apps.

Animoog is au. For me its just a workflow thing - I’d rather have everything in one central app like aum.

I wish Animoog were AU, but you’re thinking of model 15 and model d, which are indeed au. I can still load the non-au apps in AUM. It’s not a problem. You’re just limited to one instance without state saving. But they work fine.

@ruaridhTVO I don’t do a lot on Android lately, mostly because I’ve been more focused on guitar practice and my modular, but these are some apps I keep on my phone, currently a Pixel 2XL, for moments when my phone is all I’ve got with me.

Ooh, thanks. Please keep the recommendations coming. It will be awhile before I’m stuck again on public transportation, but I’d like my phone loaded in advance.

You can do everything in SunVox. It’s a complete studio—sequencer, modular synth, fx, everything you need.

I haven’t used it much, yet, but Deflemask is neat chipmusic tracker which has a mobile port:

I’ve also some appreciation, like many on here, for Sunvox as a mobile app.

Virtual ANS (from Warmplace, the same developer as SunVox) is good fun on the desktop, and would probably be equally good on a tablet / phone. Their PhonoPaper is good for breaking the ice at gatherings (in such form as they might exist).

I haven’t tried it, but Sputter is a newcomer to the Android music scene. Normally $3, but on sale for $1 (sale ends today).

All the webmidi apps recently posted somewhere here, work absolutely fine on my pixel4xl, with minimal latency.
