You have an audience eager for genuine alternative recommendations - why not use it? Instead you've spent a lot of words and mock despair not providing any answer to GP, when we want to hear what technologies you would suggest instead. You can't take someone's OP-Z out of their hands and replace it with an iPhone and expect them to be able to continue, unless you're also recommending a specific iPhone DAW/sequencer with comparable functionality and usability? People would be very keen to hear which ones you like! And replacing a Pocket Operator's functionality with a Ti-84? If the future of hope for humanity depends on everyone seeing that a Ti-84 is an obviously fully capable substitute for a Pocket Operator, should I be worried that I don't see it (it doesn't even have the right ports, for one thing)? You seem to have a lot of conviction in your position, we'd love to see some of the substance behind it! |

Here is what possibly could work:
OP-1f: a tough one to replace but possibly an iPhone + AUM app for multitrack recording and file management + any of the daws such as garageband for recording
Synths / drums apps - probably any, also Koala sampler is pretty solid.
Effects and sequencers would be hard to replicate though, might need an iPad for that (and there you can just use a Samplr app for instance)
Will need a separate audio interface and maybe a microphone though.
OP-Z: an even tougher task, sequencer-wise I’m not sure what’s out there right now, there used to be Modstep, or can try Fugue machine with audiobus
DMX and visuals would be very tricky to do, but can try making a workaround with OSC and Max maybe??
PO-133: probably Koala sampler or Samplr app
The problem with phone apps is that if developer gives up or it’s taken down from app store then you’re SOL. The upside of TE hardware stuff is that it always works (unless some hardware breaks and you need ti look up replacement / repairs)
