Hello, I'm new here. For my bachelor project at the university of mannheim, germany, I will create an Art-Installation of a sound carpet. For this I want to use a Frequency Generator Tool.

So I want to write the code to make my installation interactive. There are a lot of great tutorials, so I think I'll be able to programm it...

But one thing I really don't understand with puredata is: Is there an opportunity to create an user interface to my puredata-code? I kind of mask? What I have in mind is an application that runs on an iPad where people only can change the frequency and push a button to start it (they see no more of the code...). Than there should be aswell a countdown, which says they have to wait for 60sec and then they could change the frequency again.

Another opportunity to realize it, is to connect just a controller to it – maybe with arduino? That they can increase or decrease the frequency with it.

I have good skills in Processing / Generative Design and beginner skills in Arduino.

Thanks for your advices!

PS: Attached you see a skribble of the simple interface...

the attached image could be generated with horzontal slider [hsl] and canvases [cnv]. like so

MobMuPlat is the only one that I've used personally--it works great on Android devices, and the layout can be very sleek.

Great! Thank you guys so much!!! I'll check it out

Can someone explain to me how I install the MobMuPlat correctly? How do I get the App to run on my Iphone? I downloaded everything and tried to start – but I don't know how to connect it with my network. How do I find out if it's already connected?

With the zip-download for mac it was quite the same: Couldn't find an installation file?

Maybe that's a stupid question, but I tried since 2 hours now to run it...

You can download the app from either the IOS or the Android store (for free).

To design the interface, you need to run the MobMuPlatEditor. From memory, I think you need to have a Java Runtime Environment installed first.

I installed Mobmuplat and it's working now. There was a problem in the code of the programm itself. But my flatmate – a programmer – fixed it! Thanks again for your help!

If there's a problem with the MobMuPlat source code then you should definitely report it to Dan, who makes and maintains it. I'm sure his details are on the website. Or you could do it through the Github.

I will! But first I have to find out and understand what the problem was in detail. Today I had the next problem: There is an error message "The document could not be saved as..." So I'm not able to connect my editor work with my pd file... Has anyone an idea how to solve that problem?
