Reviews: What People Think About October - Chiptune Maker

Great app! Really enjoying it. Would you consider adding controls for the envelope and sweep on the pulse channels per NES APU specs? The combination could be used to customize the sounds further. I’ve found the drag / drop to be a little temperamental. Sometimes the app tries to scroll when I want to drag a note. Would you consider a mode to create/edit a note on long press? Or do it via a gesture? The context menu is ok - just slows the process a bit. Any suggestions for creating distinct notes? I’ve tried shortening by a 16th or manually decreasing volume over time. If there were an option to release a note just before it’s duration (simulating lift) that would be helpful.

UPDATE: Thanks for the reply! Double-tapping cells is currently how I am entering notes, but it would be much quicker if the note editor just stayed open until I closed it manually (e.g. with an ‘x’ button) or if there were buttons to move to the next/previous note (← / →) within the note editor. Entering notes is very slow and involves mostly waiting for (standard system framework?) animations to finish. Otherwise a very cozy tracker at this price. Simple and well thought-out, with some very handy macros. Export to various formats is 👌.

This would honestly be the best music making app if we were able to import our own custom sounds/instruments and/or if you provided this from the get go. It’s still a wonderful app though. I use it all the time.
