It is easy to build upon the base classes and create your own noise generating mayhem. The engine provides an architecture that allows you to work with audio within a musical context.
The engine has been written for the MikroWave synthesis/sequencing-application and works from API level 9 (Android 2.3/Gingerbread) and up.
an audio engine for Android written in C++, using OpenSL for low latency performance. Mikrowave is also available for free (no ads!) and fully functional, apart form being able to save your songs and export them to MIDI.ĭevelopers interested in creating their own audio mangling app for Android can follow the project page to find the source code for the audio engine on Github. Mikrowave version 2.1 (all ready for Android Lollipop!) being put through its paces showing how all the processors work to subtly sculpt the sound, or how to quickly slide into complete and utter aural mayhem. In either case there is more information about the new Nexuses on the same page as above. the tablet Nexus 7 will also be possible to upgrade.
This is of course great news for people that do have a Nexus 4 but as there will be a Nexus 6 out it will be possible to get a Nexus 4 and Lollipop for not too much money or for free with some harassment of your mobile service provider. Other news is that there will be new Nexus devices coming which is to be expected but think that the greatest news is that Nexus 4 will be Lollipopped! What is said is 30 ms and maybe the other important part is that now it will be able to hook up USB soundcards / keyboards etc directly without special solutions. USB Audio support means you can plug USB microphones, speakers, and a myriad of other USB audio devices like amplifiers and mixers into your Android device The idea is that this is going to be a game changer in regards to latency and there will soon be a judment out on that I am sure. Multi-channel audio stream mixing means professional audio applications can now mix up to eight channels including 5.1 and 7.1 channels Lower latency audio input ensuring that music and communication applications that have strict delay requirements provide an amazing realtime experience So to read about the new Android version in a general way go here īolder graphics and improved audio, video, and camera capabilities Android L -Lolipop = finally Low Latency Audio on latest hardware
