Which platform is better? Except for constraints imposed by the hardware, such as small phone screens or poor audio, linotune should work equally well on all platforms.

In practice, however, the Android port seems to cause disproportionally much trouble, so I cannot recommend it at this point. On the other 3 platforms, you'll be fine as long as you avoid the slowest hardware 1st generation iPads, underpowered notebooks, and such. Linotune is natively developed on a Mac, then ported to the other platforms, so the Mac and iOS versions tend to look a bit more polished.

Since the user interface has not been designed for touchscreens, it's useable but suboptimal on mobile devices. I keep getting "network error" even though I'm online. Due to necessary changes in the SSL infrastructure, older versions of linotune cannot communicate with the license server anymore.

Press the 'i' button on the rear panel - if the pop-up window says "version 1. I need to move to another device but it says "key already in use". Before you can activate your license on a new device, you must deactivate it on the old one by entering '' as license key there while the old device is online.

Select your platform: Windows macOS Android. Windows claims that running linotune may put my PC at risk. Microsoft's SmartScreen considers any downloaded file that its servers don't know about as potentially harmful, and warns or even prevents you from executing it. Linotune is a niche product, so every time a new version comes out Windows users will see this message until enough people have downloaded it for Microsoft to start trusting that it is indeed harmless.

You can set SmartScreen to only warn rather than block you, or disable it altogether, from your Control Panel, System and Security, Action Center, as shown here for Windows This can happen on systems older than Windows 7 but is harmless - simply click "OK".

In both cases your purchase includes:. I can't imagine trying to tune one of these [handpans] with anything else!!! Rent a license: You can rent linotune for a monthly payment. This allows you to use linotune right away with little upfront cost, and to cancel the rental any time.

If you don't receive an email with your license key or upgrade within minutes of completing your purchase, it is most likely for one of the following reasons:.

What if my installation of linotune is damaged or deleted? Your license key remains valid regardless of events such as OS upgrades. Make sure you keep a copy of your license key in a safe place away from your computer! Normally this should not be necessary: linotune.

In this case, however, the issuing company unilaterally changed its certificate chain without prior warning, such that linotune. Given that a disruptive update was thus forced upon us anyway, I took the opportunity to change linotune's SSL certification over to Let's Encrypt , a new non-profit certification authority with massive support in the open-source community.

I fully expect Let's Encrypt to flourish and be around for decades to come, so that linotune's secure communication with our license server will not be disrupted again. I am very happy to announce that linotune is finally available also for Android, all versions from 2. For two months the port has been tested by existing linotune customers, and the few problems that came up have all been fixed.

Technically the port remains in "beta testing", but that is only to hide it from the search engine on the Google Play Store. Of course there is a huge variety of Android hardware; most but not all of it is capable of running linotune. It has been tested and found to run well on the following phones:.

This is a rather under-powered tablet with 10" high-resolution screen - so the lesson here is to avoid such a combination. If you are looking to buy an Android device specifically for linotune, I recommend a 7" tablet with good performance - large enough to operate the controls comfortably, but still small enough for the screen refresh to be efficient. It does not have to be a pricey top-end model, as long as you avoid the bottom end as well.

To get linotune on your Android device, go here to become a beta tester. You will then see the link where you can purchase and download the app. The download costs a few Euros but comes with a two-week trial which extends to all devices that you sign in on with your Google account - so you can extensively test what works best for you.

Continued operation for more than a few minutes at a time then requires the usual cross-platform license for each device. Mobile devices clearly are the future of tuning. Fewer and fewer professionals are willing to lug a heavy electromechanical strobe around, and even laptops feel cumbersome compared to smartphones and tablets.

With that in mind, I spent most of October exploring various avenues for porting linotune to Android and iOS. While the Android port got bogged down for now by shortcomings of the available toolchains, the iOS port worked right away but frustrated me with terrible performance, updating at only about 2 frames per second.

Eventually though I managed to trace this to a version incompatibility in the toolchain - and fixing that proved to be the crucial breakthrough. To cut a long story short, here is the ultimate result:.
