چکیده
We present a new software application for ChucK programming and performance on mobile touchscreen devices, miniAudicle for iPad. This application seeks to accommodate keyboard-based music software development as well as explore new music programming possibilities enabled by touch interfaces. To this end, it provides a textual code Editor mode optimized for touchscreen typing, a live-codingoriented Player mode, and collaborative network performance via a Connect mode. The combination of these features provides a foundation for the exploration of musical programming on mobile touchscreen devices.
