watch out for kitsch everyone, there's no telling when he may strike again out of common sense in the best interests of the community.

i've played with sunvox and i overall like the interface, but anyone who thinks that you could track with the speed approaching that of a conventional PC tracker is lying to himself or is AMAZING at working touchscreens.

i have a couple of ideas of how i think touch device trackers could work better. 

1) a large single row view that's basically a heavily zoomed-in version of a selected channel's row. imagine seeing "C#4 01 01 X0000" taking the bottom 15% of your screen's real estate.  you could dial in the note / instrument / volume / effect data as a cursor advances from left to right, so that you don't have to hunt and peck at a small grid of alphanumeric values to enter data.

2) perhaps keeping 1 or more of these single-row views as an easily-accessible palette of buffers, and "painting" a channel's note data with the selected buffer.  i'm sure some logic could be written to adjust what data gets written to the pattern from the buffer, so that for instance you'd only write out the buffer's note column instead of the inst/volume/effect columns as well.

3) soft-key shortcuts that jump the pattern cursor to the selected channel's instrument/volume/effect column.  i don't like the idea of "swiping" the cursor to the effect column like you have to do in sunvox, as that's "time-consuming" and still somewhat imprecise.  instead, on the left hand side of the screen i could hit a button that'll take me to the effect column, where i then enter the effect command of my choosing.

4) an easily accessible palette of the most-used effect commands.  or, this palette could be customized depending on which effects you use the most.

anyway the overall point i'm trying to make is that maybe touchscreen trackers should focus more on providing a contextual interface that presents the user with the most likely actions that he would take, and then translate those actions into pattern data.  that's what i feel most fits with the spirit of a tracker: the ability to inputting note data quickly and unambiguously.

what's that one album with a baby emerging out of a screen vagina?  that one has got to be my favourite.  i could have sworn i have the actual album but am having trouble locating it.

don't post on the weekdays

had a lot of fun listening to this one.  even the dubsteppy parts were tastefully and sparingly done.  dug the huge variety in genres.
