"Stop Listening. Start Jamming!
This is a journey into Sound....for Ninja Tune founders Coldcut it’s been a
30 year trip: equal parts dreaming, scheming, designing, remixing, djing,
producing, gigging and Jamming. The aim of Jamm Pro: to create our ultimate
electronic music instrument and share it. Welcome to the  journey!" (from
https://jammpro.net/)

JammPro is a live-remixing app: load a sound set, then play one of 8
possible loops on each of the 4 channels. You can then apply tons of
effects and modifiers, and manually trigger 9 other samples ; the
multitouch ability of mobile devices is here fully exploited, which makes
JammPro a real musical instrument. If you purchase the "Jamm Creator"
addon, you can also import new samples, or even record your own loops from
the phone's mic (or from an external device), and create your own sound
set. You also can purchase new sound sets, from plenty of excellent artists.

JammPro is almost entirely written in Pd. It originates from the prior
NinjaJamm app, whose Pd audio patch had been initially written by Ed Kelly.
At this time, the GUI was written in mixed openFrameworks C++ and iOS
objective C; when I was asked to port it to Android (in 2014), I had the
idea to build a Pd external toolkit, written in OF, that has been used to
rewrite the GUI into a Pd patch. This patch can be edited on desktop (using
a secondary window to display the GUI, just like with Gem) and can be
interpreted by a libpd/ofxPd (thanks Dan Wilcox!) app on any mobile
platform. I called this toolkit Pof, Pd-OpenFrameworks.

All this to say that JammPro owes everything to Pd, libpd and ofxPd! Thanks
a lot.

This app is fun.
It's free (*) and many sound sets are available for free; we worked really
hard to make it work as well as possible (believe me, the quest for low
latency full-duplex audio on Android is a lot of fun!), we really hope
you'll enjoy it!

(*) p.s: about open-source
Unfortunately, we have not had time until now to publicly open the JammPro
patch.
We sincerely regret that, and it is in our plans to change this. This is
not trivial, because some parts must remain secret, being related to
selling sound sets and the Creator option.
In the meantime, Pof has been a free project from the beginning. It's
available from Deken for Intel-Mac and Linux (including rPi) platforms;
Windows and Arm-Mac to come, hopefully. The code is there:
