Does anyone have recommendations for a more practical, entry-level device for making small songs? I’m making a survival-horror game for the Playdate and need some music that fits the vibe.
The reason I’ve been eyeing hardware is because I spend all my time writing code and drawing pixel art, so it would be nice to have something away from the computer to work with.
My favorite device for standalone music authoring is the NI Maschine. They sell an expensive standalone version but a cheap second hand controller feelssvery off-the-computer with your laptop connected but the screen closed.
