V2.0.7 -android- — Touchdaw

From her backpack, she pulls a tiny USB-C hub. Plugs in a battered MIDI keyboard. No bigger than a TV remote. The app recognizes it instantly. "DEVICE CONNECTED."

She plays a chord. A D-minor that only she hears. TouchDAW v2.0.7 -ANDROiD-

Sound of a subway train rumbling, slowly replaced by the ghost of a 4/4 kick drum. From her backpack, she pulls a tiny USB-C hub

On her lap: a cracked Samsung Galaxy. Not for TikTok. Not for texts. From her backpack

She grins.

A notification slides down: LATENCY: 4ms. USB HOST ACTIVE.
