Chapter 9Integrating Dynamic Sounds into a Native App

And now comes the pièce de résistance, when we’re able to take everything we’ve covered so far and put it into an app, allowing us to embed Pure Data and have a completely dynamic audio engine in our mobile apps. We’ll go over the design of an app for both Android and iOS, including the goals and design of a Pd patch to include sound. Then we’ll use a library called libpd to integrate the patch into the apps. We’ll finish by going over the code in each platform, integrating Pd into the apps.

When you are done with this chapter, you will have

  • Designed the sound for a set of native apps

  • Built a configurable, dynamic audio patch for production use

  • Integrated Pd into native app code

Now let’s ...
