Want to turn your mobile device into a musical instrument? Or equip your game with interactive audio, rather than canned samples? You can do it with Pure Data (Pd), an open source visual programming environment that lets you manipulate digital audio in real time. This concise book shows you how to use Pd—with help from the libpd library—as an easily embeddable and widely portable sound engine.
Whether you’re an audio developer looking to create musical apps with sophisticated audio capabilities, or an application developer ready to enhance mobile games with real-time procedural audio, Making Musical Apps introduces you to Pd and libpd, and provides hands-on instructions for creating musical apps for Android and iOS.
- Get a crash course in Pd, and discover how to generate and control sounds
- Learn how to create and deploy algorithmic compositions that react to a user’s activity and environment
- Use Java or Objective-C to integrate Pd and libpd into mobile apps
- Learn the steps necessary to build libpd-based apps for Android and iOS

This book couldn't be more timely: I have started to play with Pd (Pure Data) recently and was wondering whether I could transfer my knowledge of Pd to other environments, such as my Android-powered smartphone. Written by the creator of the fantastic libpd library, this is the definitive introduction. For me it served not only as a guide to Pd on Android but also as a basic tutorial for development in Android (the book also includes a very short primer for Pd for beginners). Before this book I had not created any Android app at all and with the help of the book I found myself compiling and running sample music and sound apps on my Android phone in a few hours. What else can one ask for? More Pd and libpd knowledge would definitely not hurt but it would probably book to at least 300 - 400 pages. Besides, there are excellent and freely available resources for designing sound systems using Pd, and the book provides pointers to them.
In other words, if you want to build Pd powered applications using libpd for iPhone, iPad or Android phones and tablets, and are in need of a very quick guide to get you up to speed, then look no further. But also keep in mind that Pd system is a very sophisticated sound processing environment which requires dedication to master all of its aspects and details. Nevertheless, once you interactively design your sound application on the desktop, this book includes the necessary material to port your application to other devices. And for the impatient hackers out there, it also includes detailed explanations of RjDj (iOS) and ScenePlayer (Android) systems which help you run your Pd patches on respective devices without writing a single line of Objective C or Java code.

I used this book for music synthesis in Android where libpd is indispensable due to the total lack of built midi support. This was a fantastic inroad to libpd.
This book assumes you know some programming, it's true. If you don't know how to instantiate an object, this is probably not the place to start in programming, nor does it pretend to be.
If you know some Java, or, better, you've spent some time around the Android API, you are plenty prepared. I came to this book with reasonable knowledge of (non-Android) Java and little more than an Android hello world under my belt. Within a few days I was able to put together an amusing musical app.
With a minimal programming background, you can use this book become better at Android and discover the world of digital audio synthesis programming.
