Great But…
I can’t make a definitive opinion since it’s a little too confusing for me to understand, I’ve done the tutorial multiple times and it still makes no sense. Just can there be a basic mode or something, that makes it a little more easy to understand?
Its still a good tracker
Over here writing some swinging Jesus Jazz for the Genesis. So much fun
Response from developer
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Poor Apple keyboard support
I mean, supporting the keyboard at all is nice but it’s pretty broken. Keys aren’t mappable. The return key double presses, making it useless. Holding a key doesn’t repeat a press, making arrow key scrolling tedious. The trackpad can’t be used for making knob adjustments without scrolling wildly around the pattern editor. Trackpad support in general is pretty poor; it doesn’t even support gestures (especially scrolling). UI doesn’t line up with where you have to press to actually click it (scale is at 0.80, especially bad in lists like files). Just generally poor.

For Famitracker Fans
Definitely intuitive if you have a background with trackers already, its robust and if you can get a workflow going it is easily one of the best mobile trackers

Mixed Bag
It’s a good app. The audio is one of the best features by far, but the UI is not mobile friendly. It’s really clunky and limits productivity.
It would be really nice if you could text input notes/octaves, if noise generators didn’t use some arbitrary value on the keyboard that takes forever, if you could navigate lists by tapping instead of whatever horrible dragging system they have right now, and the window clutter is really irritating.
I’m definitely impressed by the number of options in terms of sound cards but DefleMask is a pain to use.

Awesome Tracker
This is it guys. The best software in the market for making Chiptune music! 💪
Good but needs 1 crucial change
I really absolutely love this tracker but the 1 thing that really annoys me is that there is only 1 octave that doesn’t make a full scale.
Having the keyboard be able to change up to at least 3 or 4 octaves would be an absolute game changer in my opinion.
It honestly annoys me how limited the keyboard is in software.

Relaunch app for portrait.
Great tracker but I bought this because it looked like it worked in portrait. I hate working on things with my phone sideways. I’ve toggle the orientation lock and it doesn’t go portrait mode. Very disappointing.
Edit: the tutorial locks you into landscape. If you fully close the app and re-enter with your phone on portrait it should work.

Solution or Future Update?
I would like to see a solution or future update on adding DPCM to the NES sound chip. 7-bit PCM is okay, but it eats up a bunch of the NES’s memory, and if you want to use samples in your song to put into a game, you basically have no other choice. A solution would be greatly appreciated.
I love Deflemask! I make covers of all different games.

Wouldn't it be funny if Leonardo made a deflemask app for watch

Authentic sound but cryptic UI
What this app really needs is an (paid) option to use the sound engine from within any AU-Host on iPad. I ammsure there will be people loving this (on iPadOS) alien-like user interface as it looks and feels a bit like the 80s.
However it is limiting in many ways if you want to mix chip sounds with modern sound sources, beat boxes etc.
I would pay 20-25 bucks more if it could get a AU-Synth with this sound capabilities. Maybe there are others too. I really want to use it from Cubasis, Beatmaker etc.

My personal opinion on DefleMask
I would prefer her if there was you know or like could you please tell me how to know get to go and come on son effect in DefleMask mobile I don’t know how I’m stumped but I am and also could you add super Nintendo game boy advanced and 32 X if that’s good with you OK bye
Have one channel per instrument
Is it possible to have one channel per instrument ? A different one for each instrument so it will be possible to sequence it with external sequencer. In what i am asking it will act exactly like genMDM
Very useful and user-friendly
Deflemask was the first tracker software I had used, but in a few days I pretty easily got the hang of it. It has a decent array of systems to choose from, although I would enjoy a SNES tracker. It has a colour presets for the interface which can help with readability. Overall one of my best uses of money on a single app.

Needs properly optimising for iPadOS
Just a few things prevent this from working as well as other iPadOS apps…
1. When using an external keyboard (e.g. Apple Magic Keyboard for iPad), some of the documented shortcuts only work intermittently (like Tab for “note off”) or not at all (ctrl + d for Delete).
2. It doesn’t support iCloud/Files, so you have to manually move apps between “On my iPad” and “iCloud” to continue working with the desktop version.
3. It doesn’t respect the iPadOS “swipe up” gesture properly… when. you do this, the keyboard notes activate and overwrite part of your song (if you’re still in record mode).
4. It can be buggy and unstable at times… for example, the ability to name a pattern suddenly stops working (doesn’t accept any keyboard input).
Otherwise, it’s all good, and extremely convenient for writing chip tunes on the go!

Fantastic
If you want to get into tracker sequencing and utilize a few more brain cells than a lot of mobile DAW platforms require, DefleMask is a great place to start. This app over-delivers in (fun)ctionality because it makes up for any features (usually unnecessary bells & whistles) it may lack, in what I guess you could call reative efficiency. Everything you need is there so long as you’re willing to think critically and improvise when necessary. There is nothing to stop you from rolling up your sleeves and busting out a chiptune single or EP for SoundCloud or BandCamp or iTunes made exclusively with DefleMask. Have fun.

Great UI but only for chip sounds
I like the UI of this tracker. However I believe it should be opened to other instruments than only chip sounds with a more advanced sampler as well as Auv3 host support.
Great Update!
Please give option to make the oscilloscope full screen so I can upload to YouTube.
This Chiptune software is awesome!
