Elastic OSC adds Android and MPE support for Plaits
Elastic OSC app adds Android and MPE support with Plaits oscillators, bringing iOS parity to Android and expanding expressive control with MPE.
Elastic OSC app adds Android and MPE support with Plaits oscillators is an update that continues Elastic OSC’s evolution as a mobile instrument. The app is packed with open-source algorithms from Mutable Instruments’ Plaits used as oscillators and includes expanded modulation capabilities. The release adds support for Android and for MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE).
On the iPad, the app maps two-axis touch control to the onscreen keyboard for expressive input. The update also enables the app to act as a voice for external MPE controllers, with the Erae 2 controller cited in coverage. The Android build is reported as identical to the iOS version, with separate pricing for Android customers. The code is released under the MIT license, and Elastic OSC is unaffiliated with Mutable Instruments while adhering to Plaits’ open-source license requirements.
Elastic OSC app adds Android and MPE support with Plaits oscillators continues to evolve as a mobile instrument. The app is packed with open-source algorithms from Mutable Instruments’ Plaits used as oscillators and includes expanded modulation capabilities. These integrations are presented as part of the app’s mobile instrument feature set.
It now supports Android and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). On iPad, that support maps two-axis touch control to the onscreen keyboard for expressive input. The update enables the app to act as a voice for external MPE controllers as well. The Erae 2 controller is mentioned in relation to that MPE use.
The Android build is identical to the iOS version, though priced for Android customers. The app’s code is released under the MIT license. Elastic OSC is unaffiliated with Mutable Instruments while adhering to the requirements of Plaits’ open-source license. The article was published on CDM Create Digital Music.
The Elastic OSC update adds official Android support, and the Android build is described as identical to the iOS version while being priced for Android customers. The announcement presents the Android release as matching the iOS feature set rather than as a separate, reduced build. The publication notes distinct pricing for Android users without detailing regional pricing differences or store-specific information. The available sources do not provide additional technical or distribution details about the Android build beyond those statements.
The release also introduces MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) support, and on the iPad version that support is presented as using two-axis touch control on the onscreen keyboard for expressive input. The coverage states that the app can function as a voice for external MPE controllers and specifically references the Erae 2 controller in that context. The article does not provide low-level implementation details, software architecture notes, or exact mappings for the two-axis touch control beyond the description of its use on the onscreen keyboard. The available sources do not provide further technical specifications for MPE behavior or controller compatibility.
CDM Create Digital Music described Elastic OSC as continuing to blossom as a mobile instrument. The article reported that the app is packed with open-source algorithms from Mutable Instruments’ Plaits used as oscillators and that the app has added powerful modulation features and support for Android and MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE). The publication characterized the update as including Android support and MPE capability. The coverage also mentioned Erae and other controllers in relation to MPE use.
The article described that on the iPad, MPE control is handled via two-axis touch control on the onscreen keyboard for expressive input. The coverage stated that this configuration enables new mobile combinations. The article presented the Android build as identical to the iOS version while noting that it is priced for Android customers. The publication did not provide additional pricing or distribution details.
The article noted that Elastic OSC is unaffiliated with Mutable Instruments and that it adheres to the requirements of Plaits’ open-source license. The coverage reported that the app’s code is released under the MIT license. The article named Oliver Greschke, Èmilie Gille, Gavinski, and Ashley Elsdon in its coverage. The publication named in the material is CDM Create Digital Music.
Elastic OSC is unaffiliated with Mutable Instruments, as stated in the article. The app incorporates open-source algorithms from Mutable Instruments’ Plaits as its oscillators and uses those algorithms within Elastic OSC’s oscillator implementations. The coverage reports that Elastic OSC adheres to the requirements of Plaits’ open-source license and complies with the conditions set out for redistribution and use of that code. The publication references the Plaits GitHub repository in relation to those license requirements and points readers to that repository for the Plaits source.
The article reports that Elastic OSC’s code is released under the MIT license and identifies that license in its coverage. The coverage presents the MIT license as the stated license for the app’s code without reproducing the full license text within the article. The publication does not include additional licensing documentation, contributor agreements, or detailed legal commentary in its coverage. The available sources do not provide further information about license implementation details, exceptions, or related legal arrangements.
The coverage references the Erae 2 controller in relation to Elastic OSC’s MPE capability and states that the app can function as a voice for external MPE controllers. The material describes the iPad version using two-axis touch control on the onscreen keyboard to provide expressive input, and it presents that configuration alongside the mention of external controllers. The article does not detail additional hardware models, connection methods, or required setup procedures for controller integration.
The available sources do not provide further technical specifications for how Elastic OSC maps MPE data from external controllers, nor do they provide information about latency, channel allocation, or specific control mappings. The coverage does not include step-by-step instructions for connecting the Erae 2 or other MPE controllers to Elastic OSC. The available sources do not provide information about supported communication protocols, adapter requirements, or platform-specific setup steps for hardware integration.
