lower the volume on the pulse channel and experiment with the WAV instrument you're using to try and get it louder. that's about all you can do.

you've completely sidestepped my point - the iPad, in this case, is a simpler, mobile environment designed to get the job done with a minimalistic interface and less functionality, and the desktop is meant to get the job done with a much more complex interface and more functionality. no matter what happens, the job gets done in thereabouts the same time if both are configured correctly. in most cases, if you're going to do something such as write down a quick jam, especially in the field of chipmusic, you would open up your tracker on the desktop, ready your MIDI device, select an instrument, and go - there's no need to have a program ask you 'what bpm do you want?' 'will you be recording sound or MIDI information?' 'which drumloop do you want to start with?' 'which of these 20 instruments do you want to use?'. our DAWs generally are set at the most common BPM we use, and even then all i have to do if it's wrong is grab the BPM control and drag until it sounds right. our DAWs already know what we'll be recording - most automatically detect MIDI signals and play them on the selected digital instrument, and also automatically detect if we're playing an acoustic instrument and picks that up as well. and if you have any sense, all you need is a metronome and a little inspiration to write music, and if you really need a drumloop, or want to hotswap them, it's ctrl-f "drumloop", click-draaag, there you go. and when you jam, the instrument shouldn't matter to the point where you have to make 20 of them like you did.

SongStarter is not a different tool - it's the same tool I've been working with, except its interface has been replaced by a less intuitive one that would simply make me either forget my idea before i could even punch it in, make it sound like crap and therefore make me immediately throw away a perfectly good song, or if I don't have an idea, would simply hinder my ability to effectively write music due to its absolutely silly unquantized, unoptimized, and glitchy solution to a problem that's fairly easy to solve (and if you want to really stretch it, the fact that I can't export to famitracker and/or write it to a LSDSNG file). it feels like an iPhone app designed for entertainment, quite frankly, and that's what's wrong with it - it feels overall like a bad tool to use for serious music creation. keep that in mind while you're developing this.

i kind of feel bad that i just wasted 5 minutes typing all of that.

probably a ribbon cable thing then. not sure what to tell you.

i could just as easily open up audiotool and have MIDI capability, better instrumentation, more control and a familiar interface.

there's your brutal, honest feedback.
