Hello listers,I have searched the archive and found surprisingly little current info. So I am about to purchase my first Andriod Smartphone. I was thinking of something along the lines of Samsung Galaxy/Note.Ability to use PD is a major consideration. I am mainly interested in using the phone and its features as a controller for my patches (which, btw, use PD and extended GUIs.). Planning to keep processing audio on the ol` PC, so phone's audio performance is of secondary importance. Which device/model works best? Please share your experience, recommendations, suggestions, warnings. Also::: is there a way to actually edit PD-patches on phones? Thankful as always,Zax
Hi Eran and List,
if you only want to control patches that run on your pc via smartphone, then most of them will work well- especially the ones with larger screens for obvious reasons :) . We have a couple of test phones here, from the galaxy tablets (7 inch) to the galaxy s3, but we're developing a game that runs pd natively from the phone (via libpd), so it's not exactly the same thing. I'd say go for the largest screen!
In terms of sending data to PD, I'd recommend you check out the touchOSC app , i've been using it for a long time and it never failed me :)
And as for editing patches on the phone, I think I've seen something on iOS, but nothing graphical (yet).
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Filippo

I don't know if Pure Data runs stand-alone on such a device, but if you're planning to use the device primarily as a controller, you probably don't really need Pd to run on the phone. Any controller app that spits out OSC (for instance) would do and you could receive the commands in Pd running on your desktop or whatsoever.
If you absolutely want Pd to run on the device, search this ML's archives for libpd. I think there is even a dedicated ML for libpd.

Pd should run pretty well on that device. But there is no real way to edit patches on the phone via an Android interface. You could install LilDebi and run a full Debian install in parallel, then run regular pd.
This forum is the most active for discussing Pd on Android: http://createdigitalnoise.com/categories/pd-everywhere//
