Textsound – PD Surface / Controller for iPad — and: Multyer, a synth

textsound is a helper for iPads to deal and interface with PD, Max’s little brother – well, you won’t need it if you do not use PD, so it’s the best just to tell you there is a nice 3€ App thats lets you easily control all your PD „patches“. It has a very staight „system os x style“ controller set which isn’t a bad thing, – just wondering why it took so long to have a tool like this and there is a free lite version of it. aaaand,…
