Anyone with a Playbook minds to share some insight? While Caustic and Nodebeat are available on other platforms (Android; iOS/Android), Pacemaker is exclusive. |

[Update] About the Playbook: the hardware is solid and the OS is great. It does take a while to boot up but other than that I can't complain. The mics work surprisingly well (at least compared to the 555 mic, that is). The app selection isn't all that great but most basic stuff is there and works fine, things might get better once BB10 is out (Q1 2013). While it is possible to "sideload" Android apps, I haven't messed with that. Pacemaker: I'm not a DJ but it seems to have most features one should expect for that. I'm actually using it for sample manipulation and it works like a charm for the most part. Still unsure about supported formats (some features are disabled when I load Wave files), the lack of a sampler and rec out funcion is a bit of a bummer. Some stuff is just easier to do on the app compared to the 555. Caustic 2: Low latency (16ms) compared to most Android devices. Haven't been able to load files from other apps, still have to figure that out. Doesn't play well with others (only allows for multitasking when running as main application). NodeBeat: Nice synth, a lot easier than trying to control the D-Beam on the 555. Recorded files are a little low on volume. Overall it works nice as a mobile platform to get some ideas going and as both companion and alternative for the SP-555 for music making. |
