About

About: pxtone collab (ptcollab) is a sample-based music editor where you can collaborate with friends!

Features: ptcollab has many standard features you might expect from a music editor. If you've used pxtone collage before, the following will be familiar: Note and parameter input (pan, volume, portamento, fine-tuning, effects) Instrument import (ptvoice, ogg, wav, ptnoise) Song parameter settings (tempo, time signature) In addition, ptcollab supports: Collaborative editing: host a server and have others connect and work with you! Session recording: save a frame-by-frame recording of a session and play it back later! MIDI input: Record notes either live while the song is playing, or using keyboard controls to step through time. This is a unofficial flatpak package, approved by the community.
