Hexiano 0.82.1
Free Version
Publisher Description
Hexiano™ is a Free/Open-source isomorphic musical keyboard. Isomorphic keyboards are about 12 times easier to learn than the traditional keyboard layout.
Keyboard layouts supported are:
* Wicki-Hayden (Jammer)
* Harmonic Table (Sonome)
* Janko
This isn't just an app, it turns your Android device into a musical instrument like the Thummer (Thumtronics) or AXiS-64 (C-Thru Music). It works best on recent mid- to high-end devices with large accurate multitouch screens. Old or low-end devices tend to only support 2 simultaneous touches, and are very inaccurate.
On slow devices, especially with a single-core CPU, it's not responsive while it's loading and can take over 20 seconds to load all of the sound samples. Unfortunately, the Android sound system likes to hog the single processor core while it's doing this. I'm looking into what can best be done about this issue.
Planned features:
* Better preferences.
* Changes to key/note code.
* Velocity/Aftertouch.
* Partial Midi support.
* Bug fixes.
Thanks to David Randolph for releasing the source code for IsoKeys 0.76 and earlier under the GPLv3. It has been a great help for learning to develop for Android. This is the first app that I've released. (I'm now also learning the jammer!)
Note that ads and tracking have been removed in this release (too much of a learning curve). I intend to bring back the ads, but there will be a donation version without ads. F-Droid users will never see ads on this app (http://f-droid.org/ ).
