I only pirate music and books anymore. I do consume it all. Well, most of it. Sometimes I’ll download a series of books and not jive with the first one or something. The music always gets listened to. More than once, too! I’m easy to please. Or I have good taste.

Prime 2 is great. Dread is really good, too. Really, it’s only Other: M that bears avoidance.

Haha! It’s textbook ham-fisted. I hope they never let that director make another.

Even the name of the game (Other: M, a half-assed anagram of “Mother”) is super lame

And then Nintendo turned her into a mewling idiot in Other: M.

You’re in for a treat. It’s ridiculously fun, and surprisingly deep. Also, you can get it, the mixer, and stretch algorithm add-ons for a grand total of $15 or so. You can even use a Bluetooth MIDI controller or even just a keyboard to trigger your samples making it a serious competitor to the SP404 or K.O. II. Sample length only depends on the memory of your phone, and is way bigger than you’re ever going to need for a track (unless your phone is an absolute dinosaur.) You can also start making music immediately with just your phone’s mic. I wouldn’t want to try and master a track on it, but you can certainly take an idea almost to completion.

Would be grand, if there was an m8 smartphone App

I have a feeling that might cut into their bottom line. Koala Sampler is already a decent competitor, though it is not a tracker, and thus a completely different workflow (and no internal synths, but it scales samples very well.)

Oh, you mean the “fewer than” symbol? (Some people do call it that.)

Good luck getting one! They sell out very quickly.

I think I remember making some in university. Probably with vodka. That was … oh shit… years ago.
