And we’re helping share some of the other open projects (particularly libpd) that use shared code to make better musical instruments. And I’m helping explain how that works, so you can build your own iOS apps.
And we’re giving away the iOS project files. And I’m helping explain how it works, so you can build your own Pd patch. (We’ll talk more about functionality during the campaign and with our backers as we build it.) And we’re giving away the Pd patch. So, we’re building an app that makes this a truly powerful effect on the iPhone. But that doesn’t do everything Andi and Jan want when they work in the studio and onstage, and the player app is now defunct. That Pd patch runs on the iPhone through RjDj Player. WretchUp sounds as good as it does because of a beautiful Pd patch built by Florian Grote. Normally, you would keep your development private – your trade secrets are what you’re selling. You don’t use this effect you listen to it – listening is how you make things.Ĭreate Digital Music is working with Mouse on Mars to try a new approach to app development, and I’m excited to get to announce its launch today. I’ve been really inspired spending time with Andi and Jan from Mouse on Mars as they talk about the value of listening. It just gives you a set of controls you can swipe, and so instead, you focus on the sound. A beautiful interface designed with Rupert Smyth, which we’re refining, focuses on big gestures. It’s hard to describe, but the essence of WretchUp as a handheld app is what isn’t there as much as what is. It’s inspired by analog effect hardware – Mouse on Mars have for years used analog racks and Dictaphones – but this, while retaining the sonic character, is something you can hold in your hand. WretchUp is a mobile instrument built by Mouse on Mars, capable of both extreme sound mangling and subtle pitch and delay effects. There’s one more twist, too: in a world of fairly disposable apps, everything in this project will be fully open source and shared, from the Pd patch producing sound to project files. You get a studio album produced by Mouse on Mars, and watch as the app is finished. The idea is this: fund a new handheld instrument now, and you’re rewarded with music, knowledge, and involvement. With all the mobile apps out there, the person who can help build something a bit different is you.
