I really like Cubase 5. I've been a Cubase user for years and you can get a light version pretty cheap. It, like many production apps, take a little bit of effort to learn but I can now crank songs out in it like nothing else.
I don't recommend MIDI on Android, btw. I started using it for a new game but switched back to 22khz low-quality ogg after I had problems with MIDI playback performance, trigger misses and the lack of ability to loop seamlessly. Perhaps JET can do better. I was thinking trackers would be ideal, though. I grew up around mods and used fast tracker 2 for years. Let me know if you get that lib working well! I'm currently sticking to small, low quality loops to keep file size down.
