Android have lots of good emulators and Milkytracker...so it's more a "AHHHH FINALLY we can have a decent tracker that is not Sunvox !!!"
btw vivid, cool to see you on the forum and thanks for this awesome app !!!
Android port of Milkytracker and "decent" should not be together in the same sentence. Unless you have a usb dongle to connect a keyboard and mouse to it.
sorry about that untilzero. From what I can tell, it is called "NSFmania" after all, not NESmania.

*transcribe* sorry but that's the second time I've seen that this week.
I sign up. Excited about this.

I don't know what you mean by "off the grid" (seems kind of a weird phrase because piano rolls are pretty heavily gridded, though you can zoom in and all that) but most trackers have some kind of note-trigger-delay effect which I'm thinking accomplishes the "off the grid" result if i'm interpreting that correctly.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Maybe a better way to put it would be more flexible note lengths and starting positions, no note quantization if you would like. I know you can do this stuff with commands, but that can be a finicky way of doing things, esp. triplets. Not really needed, but I enjoy the flexibility and it is probably a personal preference type of thing.
Another thing that bothers me is the inability to easily create chords/harmony, but that is understandable as things like gameboys, NES, etc. weren't made for that.
I guess it depends on what tracker you are actually using. There are plenty of trackers and formats that are perfectly good at producing all of those things. Includng NES.

I also like piano rolls because you can move the notes off the grid, something you can't do on a tracker. I primarily use Sunvox, if that shows anything.

Gameboy actually has 4 shapes on the pulse channels alone. 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 75% pulse wave. Wave channel can do all kinds of neat waveform tricks. It's a tough thing balancing the "limitations" of a vintage console/computer sound chip with the vast possibilities available when imitating them in a full-featured DAW.

Or a lsdj style tracker with two wav channel like synths and higher resolution NOT AS BORING.
This idea makes me think of AHX/HivelyTracker.

Boring but useful and with a distinct sound! -w-
I loved MegaManBattleNetwork's mix of the legacy channels+the stereo wave channel.
I wish Boyscout or any of the other GBA trackers incorporated the DAC channels in SOME way, :\
MilkyTracker, HivelyTracker, LSDJ, Beepola, BleeperMusicMaker, Famitracker... Fause Music Creator
mushoooo!!! Nice stuff 
I don't know if it's just bandcamp or what, but the "some dealings with the office of magic" track glitches off 1/3 of the way through and never comes back.

From what I understand there is no "new" floppies, just new old stock.
Hmmm... well let me rephrase that: The assorted colors memorex floppies that I got in 2008 died easily.
D'awww that album art is so cute :3

oh nice!

Feel nothing.
People are very attracted to anything with vocals, btw. People connect with an artist who verbally communicates in song. Just wanted to point that out. ;P
