Howdy all,

I've announced this on the pd-list, but thought I'd put it up here as well.

PdParty is an iOS app that allows you to run Pure Data patches on Apple mobile devices using libpd. It is directly inspired by Chris McCormick's PdDroidParty and the original RjDj app by Reality Jockey. It takes a step further by supporting OSC and MIDI and by implementing the native Pd gui objects for a WYSIWYG patch -> mobile device experience.

I put together a User Guide that fully explains it: https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/blob/master/doc/PdParty_User_Guide.md

I've used it for a few shows so far and I'm currently seeking more testers. PM me and I'll send you the info on how to get the app. I'm using TestFlight so it's pretty easy.

Happy mobile patching.

Some more info:

It's a universal app. Has OSC & CoreMIDI (including network MIDI).

Here's an iPhone image:

All vanilla GUIs are there and completely editable (aka move them, change shape, change color etc) on the fly. I imagine someone will make some awesome dancing TouchOSC patches with this

Also the app supports running RjDj & Droidparty scenes in addition to regular patches. (Not all Droidparty abstractions are currently supported aka menubang, loading/saving screens, etc).

wow, dream come true! can't wait!!!

Yo Danomatika!
I've been waiting for this one for a year.
I really appreciate your effort.
I'm thinking to test it through this week.

I have questions

1. Does it have a KaossPad style GUI like the one included in PdDroidparty?
2. Is there anything like a knob GUI? or is it possible to build one?
3. Is it possible to use apple UI controls (e.g UISlider, UILabel, UIButton...) on top of pd GUIs?
4. Is it possible to upload a PdParty app on Appstore even if it's a commercial app?

Thank you in advance!

1. Yes, there is the [touch] object. See the Droidparty tests. PdParty currently supports a subset of the DroidParty objects.
2. No. I don't currently have plans for one.
3. No. All of that functionality is available as Pd GUI reproductions.
4. No, but I'd be open to talking about that. Due to the nature of the AppStore, I didn't choose that as a main focus as it will never be as easy as creating a DroidParty-based app.

My goal is to maintain parity with the existing Pd GUI so that creating patches on the desktop work the same as on PdParty which, IMO is the power of DroidParty. I will eventually add SVG/custom image support in the future, but it's not a functional requirement right now.
