Here is some promotional videos and one overview tutorial to get you started!
After updating or buying this ground breaking update to Caustic 3

There will be a long week of Caustic 3... So be prepared...
and if I continue my computer will run out of exclamation points!
Here is the bare facts direct from the Playstore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The PCMSynth can also load SoundFont files (.sf2) and FL Studio mobile instruments (.instr, .ZIP)

There is so much that have been said already and there is so much more to be said so this will be a teaser of what is going to be a lot of Caustic for a long time to come!
If you were thinking about buying Caustic before and you are interested in doing music with Android.
Do yourself a service and get it already as now it comes with sooo much different possibilities that even if you would not use it for your main platform there is going to be use for a lot of the goodies that lay await inside that you can use- Just to be able to use a vocoder like in the video down below for example.
Not to mention that it got a fricking modular synthesizer inside of it!
That can have every parameter modulated and automated in a precise manner!
Just that alone is worth more than the asking price!
Okay more over the week to come.
