Great software, some suggestions
I’ve been using October for a while now to make chiptune covers of popular video game music for YouTube, and I have a few suggestions for the software. 1.) Allow an option to customise the waveform in each of the sound sources. This would allow dampening which would make the final product sound way better. 2.) Allow more sound sources in each song. It’s very limiting that there are only three per file. 3.) It would be very nice to see a desktop version, as I love the UI, it’s a very comprehensable program, and just overall is very worth the purchase.
United StatesVery good app!
I love your app! It is easy to use (for the most part. More on that later) and linear songs are very easy to create. One MAJOR problem though. When I try to create a loop for a loop song, it crashes, and kicks me out to the Home Screen. Please fix this! Other that that, it’s very good, and keep up the good work!
United StatesYou have to be a masochist!
Tedious, monotonous, and tedious and monotonous. I mean translating cuneiform has to be easier than using that 1980s throwback. It’s just not worth the effort.
United States2 problems
1. you cant choose a specific bpm 2. theres only square and triangle fix those and then thisll be 5 star worthy
United StatesGreat for chiptune creation
Needed a chiptune version of a song of mine for the outro of a music video, and this app was really fun and easy to work with to create that.
United StatesWow, really nice
UPDATE: Thanks for the reply! Double-tapping cells is currently how I am entering notes, but it would be much quicker if the note editor just stayed open until I closed it manually (e.g. with an ‘x’ button) or if there were buttons to move to the next/previous note (← / →) within the note editor. Entering notes is very slow and involves mostly waiting for (standard system framework?) animations to finish. Otherwise a very cozy tracker at this price. Simple and well thought-out, with some very handy macros. Export to various formats is 👌.

- Fixed an issue in exported .nes or .nsf files, where audio may stop playing before the end of the song
