Check out the first demo vid of Su-Preme MPA – my first Android app to be released on the market in few days!
MPA is a sample based music production app that mimics the look and feel of a classic analog device that is widely popular among urban music producers.
I’m proud to say that MPA is not a toy. We really mean it to be used by actual music producers to make actual beats.
The app was co-designed and will be promoted by Alaric “Supreme” Wilder of Wu-Tang Clan fame. He also did the video!

congrats on your upcoming release! It really looks great, I bet it will be even better on tablets. I just love the old school LCD display you made.
Thanks Schwiz!
In fact, on this video my partner Alaric is running it on HTC Evo which has a pretty large screen.
However, MPA is perfectly usable on my Droid (original), although rendering is a bit slow due to the old CPU that it has.
So far I only tried it on a Galaxy Tab emulator and it looks fine. I seem to have chosen the right approach to the UI scaling problem.
Once the beta is released (in few days!) I hope some of its users will try it on tablets and let us know.
Regarding the LCD, this is actually the first piece of MPA code I will be sharing on this blog, so stay tuned

Very cool. I expected no less. Looking forward to playing with it. From the video it looks like you licked the Android audio latency issues well enough that the pads have a good feel.
Thank you so much for the good feedback Mark.
Yes, we have latency around 10 ms on the pads. Anything above that is a no-go for any serious recording.
Achieving that latency cost me a week of work and I will eventually share my solution to that problem, as well as to many others that I brushed into on the way, such as recording timed events, mixing tracks and cutting MP3 samples, to name a few.
Is this a pure SDK app, or did you need to use the NDK too?
Nice one. ^_^
