And especially now with Garage Band coming, if there'll be any market at all for them. I have Music Studio and I really like it, but of all the apps I have, it's the closest to Garage Band, and it will never be able to keep up with it, I assume. Sad for Xewton who must have put a lot of resources and time into their app. Hope I'm wrong though.

I do not think you should be that sorry. Xewton are apparently adding support for audiotracks as well as samples in music studio, including pasteboard transfer in future versions. If they manage to do that, they will indeed be competetive again. Especially the pasteboard transfer is a good priority because it will allow Music Studio not only to co-exist with but coorperate other apps with no need of a computer nor wi-fi.

Question is rather whether the Fruity Studio can keep up with that?

There are also other studios in play: Nanostudio, Aurora and Beatmaker II. Each have their pros and cons and I hope to see some sound and rewarding competetion between these apps in the future.

I'm a long time (legal paid for) user and fan of FL Studio, now enjoying version 10. Being able to use my tablet as sketchpad, export and refine in the desktop version makes all other audio apps obsolete

I can put down my ideas anywhere in my favorite studio and finish them at home, awesome...

Please please please please pretty please make a port to android too

We will investigate Android support this summer but apparently it's hell due to the difference in hardware that's out there. This goes for both FL Studio Mobile & Deckadance Mobile :

Ok, I'll send my prayers that you guys can work it out when you come around to it. This thing almost makes me consider buying an iPad... Almost

Am I right in assuming this will be the first 'major sequencer' that brings a port to the mobile world? No Cubase, Logic or Protools apps out there are there?

It would be awesome to be able to capture ideas anywhere, anytime and then take them back to the studio and flawlesly import them back into FL Studio.

Keeping my fingers crossed and this topic in my visor

Did find a cool way to control FL Studio through my Tablet over wifi by the way: TouchDAW. It has (among other major sequencers) a preset for FL Studio as well, and performs great. Especially good for controlling the mixer (volume, pan, eq) at my fingertips. You guys familiar with it?

I hope as soon as possible but I stopped giving release dates as we never make them anyway.

Haha

uhm... sorry, no

No disrespect to you Jean Marie, far from it, all of you at Image Line have my deepest respect and a warm love. Not wanting to start a rant on iPads or anything Apple, but I have several reasons not to. None of them directly related to Apple, but the iPad falls in the same category.

I don't like my tablet to be that big. 7 Inch is my favorite size, quite portable. I also don't like them that expensive. If I would want one, it'ld be the most expensive one, and to me I find those prices rediculously high. I consider them aids to an end, not a replacement for my desktop or laptop. For the same price-reason I dislike the Galaxy Tab. I do like to have flash capabilities, and I dislike the closed app-market for iPhone/pads. And last of all, I don't like the storage space. Seems almost every tablet works with memory cards, and they stop at 32 GB (ok, 64, but they are very expensive still).

Again: no Apple rant here! It's about the specs and price, not about the OS or manufacturer.

I've settled for an Archos 70 Internet Tablet. Nice and small, 7 inch, with good speakers left and right of the screen, a 1 Ghz processor, 1,5 GB RAM and a whopping 250GB harddisk inside. For the pricetag of € 279,- (Euro). Over here in the Netherlands you have to look for them, cause they are regularly sold out.

Have you read my remark on TouchDAW? Maybe it would be a great idea to create something like that, a controller for FL Studio in app-form. Think that would be a real seller. I know I'ld buy it

Twisting my thumbs, sending my prayers, tossing another coin in the well and hope you guys do find a way to port both FL Studio and Deckadance to Android as well

I think you guys have jumped the gun with the announcement of FL Studio app.
With no disrespect, but how many months has it been already...? "Coming soon" -
It is beginning to look like a joke I'm afraid

Btw; I'm not going to even contemplate on release date for Deckadance

Maybe this answers your question

And as the word was out anyway, they just kept the pages up. The dedicated websites are not yet operational I see, they just transfer to the same page.

Just be patient, it'll come when you least expect it I think

On the bright side: I don't see any Cubase, Logic or Protools apps out there too. Might even be that FL Studio in the end turns out to be the first of the major brands that put's out an app. (okay, Cubase has an iPad app, but it is a controller for the computerbased version. Neat though.. FL should have it too)

I guess I have to wait even longer before there's an Android port

Unfortunately I can not say the same. The mobile FL version is build upon the structure of Music Studio and it seems that it will suffer from some of the same shortcomings such as

1) No copy and paste between apps.
2) Only rompler instruments with attack and decay controls.
3) Only one effect chain, which you can either turn on or turn off pr. track (e.g. no individual inserts pr. track, individual sends or mastering effects),
4) No audio tracks
5) No import of individual samples to drum pads.
6) Very narrow range of sounds (=rompler instruments)

There is an update on its way to Music Studio were some of these issues are dealt with, but as far as I get it, this does not involve the FL version. I might be wrong regarding some of the above in the FL version, but so far I have not seen any info that suggest that.

I see it as a sketch pad to get ideas started then send them to FL studio proper to do the real work.So i'm not too worried about those limitations.But just as FL has come a long way, i'm sure over time FL Mobile will as well.

I see no mention of MIDI clock.
