Musical Android on Pd party developments in Android ...

And if you're an Android user then you really want to take a look at this article a video on the Musical Android site about Pd party. Things have really moved forward and it seems that there's a lot happening in the Pd world and mobile now, especially on Android.

I think I'll have to take a bit more time over this too.

Synth Collection final test (R.Pi synth video)

Video description:

"A very quick test of two USB MIDI keys into a Raspberry Pi Model A (emulating a Pi Zero, overclocked to 1GHz) via a powered USB hub.

The 1GHz configuration leaves massive amounts of CPU and memory bandwidth headroom, even with 8 synths running."

A few thoughts:

I've been wondering a bit more about synthesis on the Pi since the Pi.Zero came out and subsequently having a little conversation on twitter with Erik (maker of the awesome nils effects app) about using it for synthesis. There are Pd distributions for the Pi, and for £4 ($8) for a Pi.Zero it could make the basis of an interesting device for synthesis.

Perhaps it's something to look into next year, or, at the very least, when it is actually possible to get your hands on a Pi.Zero.

Also ...

Video description:

"A walkthrough of the demos provided on the Synth Collection evaluation SD card. Virtually no edits, so lots of delays. Grab a drink before you watch. I break out of each demo with control-C otherwise the video would be half an hour long.

All demos are running on a Pi Model B+ overclocked to 1GHz to match the performance of Raspberry Pi Zero. The worst-case load is during 'Never Turn Your Back on Mother Earth' at the end of the sawtooth solo, where CPU usage (measured by top -H) peaked at around 58%.

Sound was captured directly out of the IQaudIO DAC+ into a Behringer UCA202, so it's a stereo image and representative quality of how this thing really sounds, and a bit of the iPod mic signal was left in there (which picked up the MiniRig, driven by the IQaudIO headphone out) - the sound of typing is so exciting, don't you think?!

So think about this for a second - a micro SD card, 8G, is £1.99 and a Raspberry Pi Zero is £4. For a hardware investment of 5.99 plus an old USB hub you have hanging around the place, you get 8 glorious synthesizers. The value proposition is pretty remarkable. And you don't even need a MIDI keyboard, you can author complete tracks within the sequencer and preview them, and drag them to the gig. Perfect if you intend doing a cover of Baba O'Riley or Won't Get Fooled Again at short notice!"

n-Track is getting even more interesting, and so is Songtree

n-Track has been a longtime favourite iOS DAW of mine. Also it is extremely cross platform too, sitting on iOS, Android, PC and Mac. Now the n-Track developer is integrating the Songtree community too. That's pretty awesome. In fact, that's awesome for both.

But the story doesn't end there, not for n-Track. It's going to add Pd (Pure Data) support. Initially in their desktop apps, but then, once that's stable, they'll be rolling it out to mobile. Now, how amazing is that going to be? Pd in your mobile DAW!

Cool thing to look forward to ...

So, what about Songtree? Well apart from n-Track coming to Songtree it also seems that it's getting an integration with LoopTree! (seems to be a lot of trees here)

Been working on an exciting integration with Songtree ...coming soon! :) @songtreeapp

Which will be very useful.

All together these things are going to start to become very powerful tools indeed, and very useful integrations.

PD Pulp: A VST plugin to load PureData patches (video)

Video description:

Here we are presenting our VST plugin (created with JUCE & libpd), where you can import your own Vanilla PureData files and use them as VST

download the VST: https://github.com/logsol/JuceLibPd/tree/plugin

have a look at another video about the plugin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsPwRh1xSps

more info about JUCE: http://www.juce.com
more info about libPD: http://libpd.cc

So I know that this isn't really mobile related but it is kind of as it's libPd and from Oliver Greschke (maker of the excellent Elastic Drums)

zMors Modular brings lots of new modules, including Pd

MobMuPlat 1.64 has arrived

Here's what's new in MobMuPlat:

New Multislider output mode, Table range and draw mode.
Remember user network settings.
Fix OSC while in background - can finally do inter-app OSC.
Get key strokes from a hardware keyboard.
Built on libpd's tracking of PureData 0.46: no more MobMuPlat-specific build of PureData necessary. Use the new PdWrapper.pd and PureData .46 to develop!

Reactify's installation is moving forward ...

Update on how the generative music for the Burning Man installation, #anitasdropship is coming along. http://t.co/B84vhJOAL4 #puredata

MobMuPlat gets another update with more cool PureData stuff

MobMuPlat gets another update:

Table widget: interact directly with a PureData table.
Grid widget adds multiple touch modes.
Programmatically scroll to a page.
Swipe to delete documents from "Select Documents" table.

MobMuPlat update adds Audiobus and more

MobMuPlat is getting very interesting. Here's what's new ....

AudioBus integration (input, output, and filter port).
Menu widget, to choose item from pop-up list.
Button to invert interface.
Panels can optionally pass touches to scroll the canvas.

I'm off to try it out all over again now.

MobMuPlat gets a multitouch widget

I'm always glad to see an MobMuPlat update. Here's what's new:

MultiTouch widget!
System sends page number into patch.
New multitouch example patches, bug fixes, etc.

CTRL Pd Tutorial 1 - Tremolo Reverb, Glitcher, AFX Glitcher

First in a series of tutorials covering how many of the Pure Data effect and synth modules are made in CTRL. This video covers the Tremolo Reverb, Glitcher and AFX Glitcher modules.

MobMuPlat updates

MobMuPlat brings its first update. Here's what's new:

PureData console
GUI widget translucency
MIDI input
set GUI widget state without message output
can load/host .pd files without an interface
knob indicator color
enable background audio (for use with iOS controllers/sequencers)

And it's still free.

CDM on PureData solutions for iOS and Android

Following the arrival of MobMuPlat for iOS (with OSX tools) CDM compares this against the libpd route.

Worth reading if you're interested in Pd on mobile.

MobMuPlat for iOS arrives, and it's free

This appears to be a big step towards a mobile version of Pd. Getting the app is only part of the process, you also need to visit this site for the desktop making tools as well.

Anyway, here's the app's description:

MobMuPlat hosts and loads from a list of available user-created audio apps.

Creating your own work consists of two parts. First, creating a graphical user interface (GUI) with the MobMuPlat Editor; second, creating the audio engine using the graphical programming language Pure Data (PD). With both of these applications open, and data sent between the two, you can simulate the app behavior on your laptop/desktop. Once development is complete, just drag the two saved files into the "Documents" folder of iTunes, and they are uploaded to your device and can be opened in the MobMuPlat app.

MobMuPlat can do synthesis, sampling, networking via local wifi, OSC messaging, query and set hardware characteristics, display images/graphical scores, and much more.
