Or a true Windows 10 tablet or even touchscreen hybrid/laptop. FL Studio 3 works with Continuum, of course, but you really need the touchscreen interface to get the most from it, so best stick with a Windows 10-running phablet like the X3 or Lumia 950 XL. These aren't criticisms though - on the plus side, the scope here is incredible, think of dozens of virtual instruments, real time effects, real time EQ - master FL Studio Mobile 3 and, for anyone working with trance/sequenced music, your Windows 10 Mobile smartphone really can be a mobile recording and development studio. Even after a month of tinkering with this (off and on, while waiting for bugs to be fixed), I'm still finding gestures that do interesting things that I didn't know about and I'm still hitting buttons that I didn't mean to hit because I've been a few pixels off beam and have triggered something I've never triggered before. In terms of bytes (it's the best part of a Gigabyte), concept (professional-grade music sequencing) and, yes, learning curve - it'll take an hour before you're at home with the interface and ten hours before you're really getting the most from it. We'll start with the brickbats and bouquets though. As a commercial application, is it worth £12? You bet it is, with only a couple of caveats.
The 'FL' in the name stems from FruityLoops, a sequencer-based music application on the desktop that I remember reviewing for the PC back in the late 1990s - and here we are, almost twenty years later with a full music studio in the palm of your hand, in my case tested on a HP Elite X3, whose stereo speakers show off FL Studio Mobile 3's capabilities pretty well. Available for all variants of Windows Phone and also Windows 8 and 10 on PCs and tablets, Belgian developers Image-Line appear to be expert in their trade.
