[ Closed ] Piggy Tracker Thread (Page 17 of 50)

DINGOOOOOO

imo opinion you have more non piggy music making options on the caanoo. The dinger is mega small though.

these are facts not opinion. any info on piggy builds tho? is it stable? does if feel off cuz of the stick? load times compared to other ports?
lag? ya kno. the basics.

caanoo has some sweet VJ software going on too its that price that makes me reluctant. it thing feels and looks pretty god damn nice. it has a great build quality.

Black caanoos on sale for $129 here: http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-d1- … -3w5n.html

Yeah, it's $50 more than a dingoo but it's also the "most likely to get MIDI."

Canoo is a good option if you already have another thing running piggy. That way you can keep changing from piggy to - ie - protracker, back to piggy2piggy action.

Plus the future midi thing.

Is gonna be the next thing i'll buy.

a confirmed fact.

there are complaints about the dingoo shoulder buttons but these feel worse.

also. i just got my caanoo today. quite a lovely build to it. its light but no so much that it feels cheap. that joystick was surprisingly not a huge game changer when using lgpt. the casing around the screen goes a bit too low so the top part is covered but it isn't anything to get in your way of tracking. i was told marc was working on fixing that too. so far the build seems great but i havent really tried tracking hardcore with it.
the one bug i can confirm when you exit the program it freezes the thing. its not too bad of a bug as you can reset it really easy.

how does it hold up to its competitors in the lgpt front?

good build. comfort lies somewhere in-between the dingoo and psp. screen is alright. i will say that it does better then the other 2 when tracking in direct sunlight. buttons are all ok except then shoulders. they kinda feel like dingoo clicking with a psp placement but with no action. the result is that it feels stiff and awkward but it is probably something you can get used to.

as far as getting piggy on there this has been the easiest experience i have ever had. you buy it. open it. put the port on the sd and the fucker runs. no questions asked. no hacking involved. has a volume slider that reacts slow but it is better then nothing. has no sleep mode. the battery life is good. can boot into piggy faster then the psp. the audio jack is in a similar position to the psp but i would say it doesn't get in the way at all.

size wise it is in-between the psp and dingoo more to the psp side tho making the dingoo still the platform of choice to mobile peeps.

out side of piggy use the thing is really sweet lots of community support and quality stuff like they have for the psp. I will have to say that the dingoo is still the best piggy port for cost comfort and mobility especially if you are only using it for piggy. psp is still on the top for comfort, functionality, and price if you are getting a used one for around the house.
Caanooo is the weird in-between i have to say. kinda pricey, but really functional, and there is some great other stuff to use on it. it has the added touch screen which helps for milkytracker and protracker and i can see a lot more cool stuff coming out of it. as it stands tho, the price is what makes it the big maybe. it is the best for being an open source platform tho. there is just so little hassle. meh. you decide.

alos.... spam.
