PocketTracker
• A SCALE screen — 38 built-in scales, a project key, and every note pulled onto the scale as it plays
• LPF/HPF/BPF, DRV, CRU, FIN and TSX — filters, drive, crush, fine tuning and transpose, written per note
• The effect picker is grouped by what each command touches, one group open at a time
• A metronome on SETTINGS, and TAP on PROJECT to set the tempo by ear
• Only the chosen
Features:
* 8-track sequencer with the classic Song → Chain → Phrase structure
* Sampler instruments: load WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, Opus and M4A files
* SoundFont instrument support: SF2 and SF3
* Sample editor: trim, chop, slice, time-stretch (SOLA), pitch-shift, destructive FX
* Sample from video: extract audio from screen recordings (MP4/MKV/WebM)
* 31 step effects: arpeggio, retrigger, pitch slides, vibrato, chance/randomize, tables, grooves, mixer-fader automation and more
* Per-instrument modulation: AHD/ADSR envelopes and LFOs with 10 destinations
* Mixer with per-track sends, true dBFS meters, reverb and delay send buses
* Master bus with OTT-style multiband compression or DUST lo-fi chain, plus limiter
* WAV export: full mix or per-track stems; resample selections into new instruments
* Interface color themes, a theme editor and multiple top-bar visualizers
* Low-latency native audio engine (Oboe); runs well on 1 GB RAM devices
Storage: PocketTracker requests no permissions. The first time you open its file browser it offers a single "ADD FOLDER..." row, which opens Android's own folder picker; the folder you choose becomes its home and is where projects, samples and renders live. You can grant it further folders at any time from the top of the browser, so a sample library anywhere on the device — or a video copied over from a PC — is reachable without giving the app access to everything.
Requires Android 8.0+ on a 64-bit device (arm64-v8a or x86_64).

• The eight tracks no longer wait for each other; a > marks where each one is
• The cursor is the cell you are on, not the whole row, everywhere
• A table's three FX columns run on their own clocks — TIC and HOP FF per column
• LIVE mode — B+LEFT/RIGHT on SONG makes the grid a scene launcher
• A+LEFT/RIGHT is the small edit step now, A+UP/DOWN the large one
• EQ colours, the selection and the playback marker are theme
• R+B mutes and R+A solos a track from SONG or MIXER — hold it, or latch it
• B+D-pad now walks the arrangement, not the 00–FF pools (SETTINGS → NAV)
• SF3 SoundFonts load on SF2's terms — smaller files, less memory
• A file too big for the device is refused instead of taking the app with it
• Tables reach EQ presets, and AUS/AUF fades run over table rows
• Place slices by hand: drag, delete, or tap A on each hit while it plays
• A ch
