This is both my first Android app and my first work with Pd, so be gentle.

The patch behind this app is extremely basic. Admittedly, I got Peter Brinkmann's book on eReader and learned the bare minimum (very easy to follow, by the way, not that anyone here needs it). Most of the work went into getting the Android side of things going.

Future versions will include other instruments, probably a Pd-based rattle sound effect, and, depending on how adventurous I get, non-Western scales.

Anyway, it's a little bit fun and very much free:

very cool! do you intend to release the source?

@sunji

Thanks for checking out the app!

I'm not in a hurry to go open source for a few reasons:

1. I'm fairly new to seriously programming (aside from some javascript hijinks 10 years ago, a little under a year in), so my code is a little embarrassing at the moment. I'm to the point of knowing what I'm doing wrong in terms of OOP and de-coupling, but not always how to fix it, let alone get it right in the first place.

2. Due to lack of commenting, my poorly organized code is probably unreadable/unusable by anybody but me.

3. In terms of Pd, this program is very boilerplate. It's basically everything Brinkmann describes in his first example. It's available for free in the libpd distro in the guitar tuner sample.

As the project matures, I may reconsider (though it may never mature as I am itching to move on to the "intuitive" sequencer building in my head).

If anyone has questions about any specific features, I will gladly send code snippets and explanations.

Intuitive sequencer sounds like a great direction for this to grow. Thanks for the tip on Brinkmann's book.

In case anybody is curious, the source code for this is now available:

The pd part now uses poly, thanks to tutorials here.
