Hey Ethan,
Good to see you on here and glad to hear that PSPSeq is still under development. I didn't mean to sound so down on it, the program is a fantastic achievement and the synths are *wonderful*, I just think some of the input methods could use a little refinement so that those of us weaned on other mobile tools such as LSDJ/LGPT and Nanoloop can get creating tunes quickly.
I haven't used the app in a while, I must confess, so I'll sit down with it in the next few days and post up my thoughts in more detail. From memory, it's the basic note/pitch entry that I'd fix primarily - even with the sensitivity controls, that analog stick is a really hopeless way to plug in notes. I'd suggest using the D-pad for this, a la LSDJ - so you press a button to enter a new note, then hold the button and use the D-pad to edit a pitch (e.g. left and right for semitones, up and down for octaves).
As I said above, my workflow general involves whacking in some notes and then refining, and general button+Dpad entry has to me proved the quickest way of doing this, so that would be my suggestion.
In any case, will report back when I've had another play with it!
