Howdy all,
PdParty 1.4.0 is now available on the Apple App Store for iOS/iPadOS.
PdParty is an open-source iOS application for running Pure Data patches on Apple mobile devices using libpd
Much of this development effort was supported by the Oribotics instruments research project by artist Matthew Gardiner, presented at the Ars Electronica Festival 2023's Open Futurelab.
