Making Musical Apps (book)

Posted on March 17, 2012 by Nuno Correia

O’Reilly has recently released the book “Making Musical Apps – Real-time audio synthesis on Android and iOS”. From the publisher’s website:

“Want to turn your mobile device into a musical instrument? Or equip your game with interactive audio, rather than canned samples? You can do it with Pure Data (Pd), an open source visual programming environment that lets you manipulate digital audio in real time. This concise book shows you how to use Pd—with help from the libpd library—as an easily embeddable and widely portable sound engine.”

I’ve embedded a preview, via Create Digital Music:

Processing for Android

Posted on October 1, 2010 by Nuno Correia

Processing for Android is now out. Peter Kirn has posted an interesting article at Create Digital Motion about it:
http://createdigitalmotion.com/2010/09/getting-started-with-processing-for-android/

Processing now runs just as easily on a mobile platform with Android. You can try it with the free SDK and emulator, but it’s most fun with a device. Using all free software, you can sketch easily on mobile and desktop from one environment, and with only minor modifications, run the same code on a desktop, a browser, and a mobile device.
