Chiptune music, is almost always in c.

>Is it even possible to have an usable tracker with no keyboard?

komet, did you try nanoloop on android or ios?
i also like the way dotpict works (it's a pixel art app on android),

you have to adapt to the touch interface, i think both of those apps have a good approach:

you select the place you want to interact with by touching it (a note on nanoloop, a pixel on dotpict) and then you touch/slide elsewhere (usually an empty spot of the screen) to finetune it (you slide on nanoloop to choose the correct note, frequency, on dotpict to change the color of the pixel).

it's hard to interact with something when you have your finger on it, so it's better to have a zone to select, and another zone to play with,

how could it work with a tracker? some ideas,

if the regular interface use a 4:3 ratio, you have an empty spot you can fill for the 16:9 ratio of the phone like in the screenshot you posted,

i like the idea of having the undo/redo button because you makes lots of mistakes on phones, and/or you can quickly experiment stuff and revert to the previous state

so you touch the spot you want to edit, example the note, or several notes if you make a selection,
- 2 icons appears (in the option area, check the pic above): note/scale, by default on note
- if your selection is empty a single tap on the finetune_area set a default note ; if you touch and slide you change the note according to your position

you can manage copy/paste with that finetune_area:
- if you keep touching the note/selection of notes, and double tap on the finetune_area it copies it,
- if you double tap the the finetune_area, it paste the clipboard on the spot you're currently located

i believe you could get ubuntu running on that machine (maybe do it as a dual-boot in case you want to use old mac software too), which might let you use the linux version of piggy tracker on it
