Hi,
I'd like to use my android device to send midi events to soft synths and samplers running on my linux laptop.
Is it possible to achieve this with PdDroidParty?

Thanks!

@bamboomusic As I understand PdDroidParty it is for running a Pd patch on an android device.
You will need it to send OSC messages over the network to control a patch on your computer that deals with the midi.
Look to use [netsend -u -b] and [oscformat] on the Android patch (if they are included in the list of vanilla objects that will work with PdDroidParty)....... and [netreceive -u -b] and [oscparse] on your computer.
Then use the incoming OSC messages to control the midi objects on your computer.
You can just use [netsend] and [netreceive] and work with lists.... but OSC messages are more human readable.
The really simple solution is to buy a copy of the "TouchOSC" app for Android. Your Android interface will be much prettier and easier to build. It can send OSC and midi messages and has some ready-built templates for many DAWs. Once purchased (I think it is about $5-$6) you can put it on all your Android devices.......... https://hexler.net/software/touchosc-android

@bamboomusic @whale-av I also like and bought touch-osc, but to stay in the Pd-Universe you could also use the greadt MobMuPlat for free!

Thanks for the replies,
I have a rather complex setup for audio, and I'd like to add a simple (yet configurable) MIDI controller, using the built-in "MIDI over USB" of android, without creating a wireless network.
Unfortunately MobMuPlat doesn't support the "MIDI over USB" thing, and neither TouchOSC.
I'm giving PdDroidParty a chance because I see that I can use the notein object (in the "midi monitor" patch), so I'm wondering how to make it work.

@bamboomusic Well..... it's a maybe..... post Android 6.0...... https://source.android.com/devices/audio/midi
You could ask chris(at)mccormick(dot)cx ...... DroidParty author.

If not, then you could create a network over usb when you plug the Android OTG to your computer.

And if you get no-where with that then you could buy an OTG >> Ethernet adapter to plug to your computer........... but a s/h wireless Access Point..... (WRT54 series or similar) is probably cheaper.
