Now regarding my use of Pd in Android. I don't need to do anything fancy,

all i'd like to develop for now is a small 2 or 4-track recorder, to help me

work on my new songs in a more flexible way than with my old cassette

recorder. So how should i go about it? Can i use ScenePlayer with a patch

that does just that? Or should i develop my own native app in android using

libpd (which is still very obscure to me at the moment)?

As Michael Noble mentioned, I really think PdDroidParty could help you here.

Bascially you can make your 4-track recorder in regular old Pd, then copy your 4-track recorder patch to your Android device's sdcard via USB or whatever, start PdDroidParty, et voilą.

I genuinely beleive this is the easiest way to get your Pd patches running on Android.

I am just about to do a new release of PdDroidParty which has a bunch of great stuff like SVG themable Pd widgets, and makes it easier to distribute your patch as a standalone Android app. Will post here when that happens.

Cheers,

Chris.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this!  I agree, its the easiest and perhaps the best way :)
