[Csnd] iOS question

Subject[Csnd] iOS question
Dear all,

I'm working with a performer who would like to take a couple of violin and tape pieces on the road. I normally use maxmsp for live shows but now I would like to make a little iphone app for her to run the playback instruments directly from her phone, which will be plugged into an amp. The idea is to eliminate the need for a technician and a laptop/interface. I understand this is now possible with Csound but does that involved any non-csound coding too? And how would I go about connecting a trigger pedal or switch to an iphone? Maybe one can build some sort of wireless OSC pedal easily?

Best,
Peiman

Hello Peiman,

I recently did a gig with my Iphone as backing band ("the Iphonies") , by
playing MP3's in the Ipod mode.
The problem is that the files in a playlist are played consecutive, so I
understand your need for an OSC pedal (nice idea), and Csound being
triggered e.g. by OSC to play the audio.

I guess an OSC pedal could be built using an Arduino (or Mbed) with a
(wireless) ethernet connection..

Richard

Well there is no way to not do any iOS programming to get this to work.
Unless someone has already come up with such an app.

One option would be through OSC. You can convert MIDI to OSC with this handy device...
http://wifimidi.com/store/ Then monitor the proper port in your iOS app to pick up the data,
then play your audio.

Another option would be to use the iPad camera expansion connector and find a pedal that is
a MIDI class compliant device. Then your iOS app would only need to respond to MIDI messages.

Nice, that midi to osc convertor looks really handy. 

Are there any online resources for learning the basics of iOS coding? Or better even, csound/iOS?

Thanks
