Forgot to mention for anyone who does want to try out MIDI out there's currently a known issue where you need to save and reopen a *newly* created project to get MIDI out to start, after first open, the project will put out MISI just fine.

Unfortunately there a known bug where after you create a new project with a MIDI instrument you need to first save and reload the project to get MIDI output to work, sorry about that!! Its tracked here: github.com/democloid/picoTracker/issues/43 if you subscribe to that issue you'll get notified once its been fixed.

I can’t find the answer online and I’m panicking because I just bought one thinking it was a headless M8 situation hahaha- does this Picotracker have synth engines or is it only a SAMPLE based tracker? Thanks in advance

it is 100% *NOT* a headless M8. It has *nothing* to do with the M8. The picotracker currently only supports samples. If you are referring to purchasing one from the tindie listing, please just get in contact through the "contact seller" function and you can get a refund.

This synth is great. The possibility to load original DX7 sysex is fundamental and makes this app wonderful. Pretty straight forward. I find it really useful to edit and create my own patches in dexed so I really don't think I need editing functions as it is more practical to do it in a computer with proper screen size. Perhaps adding aftertouch mod would be fine. Since I installed last version on my xiaomi redmi 10 I have a latency issue, which didn't happen in previous version in my xiaomi redmi 5. The thing is that I do need channel choosing function. Any tip? If you ask me I'd choose the possibility of channel setting in old version since that phone is now being used as a midi device only. Thanks for the app. Already left a comment in playstore
@maksmakes Жыл бұрын
Thank you, I'm happy to hear you like using the patch loading feature. I'm not sure why there would be a latency issue on the redmi 10 as I haven't changed anything in the app code that would be related to midi latency. I suspect it may be to do with the app needing to target newer versions of the Android SDK to meet Google Play policy requirements. I do have on my todo list to switch to using the Android MIDI system interface instead of the old USB Midi handling code inside the app, so that may improve the latency on newer devices but I'm afraid I don't have a time line for when I'll have time to get that done.
