hi, sorry for this stupid question... is a way of making generative pd patches for mobile phones? or is there any other alternative of creating generative music for mobile phones that support java?
Hi Yukio,
Not a stupid question. I am sure it's possible to make generative patches for mobile phones, but it would take a lot of work.
Firstly, you might like to check out PDa which is a stripped back fixed-point version of Pure Data which you can compile for many different embedded processors such as those used in mobile phones. You'd then need to get a compiler for each phone that you wanted to do this on and make PDa compile for that phone. http://gige.xdv.org/pda/
As for Java, perhaps you could use some parts of the jMax project? Or you could roll your own solution, but in my experience there is a large variance in the capabilities of Java on mobile phones (so much for "machine independence").
Best,
Chris.
