UPDATE: Fantastick is now FREE and available in all regions.





Quick Start

Fantastick works on your iPhone/iPod Touch together with your computer.

Download this Max/MSP patch for Fs version 1.4 with examples and command reference. (requires Max/MSP, available here)

Help patch for Pure Data now available.

Step-by-step instructions with Max/MSP.

An alternative Max/MSP object for receiving data from FS. Try this if experiencing any lags with receiving data.

Another object for receiving data from multiple connected Fantastick clients. Data is prefixed with unique client id, and messages can be sent back using the same id.



Fantastick is your custom remote interface for use with software such as Max/MSP or Pure Data.


With Fantastick you send multitouch-events to your host computer and issue drawing commands to the iPhone to build exactly the kind of interface you want.


Fantastick is 100% widget-free! 0% OSC content!


Instead of a limited set of builtin-widgets, the interface-logic resides in Max/MSP (or your software of choice) and only drawing commands are sent to the device. This leads to interfaces that work and look exactly the way you want.


This updated version brings OpenGL support for lightspeed framerate and new interface possibilities.



Features


- Minimalistic, fullscreen control area with nothing on it but what you provide.


- Multitouch-events on the device are forwarded to your host via UDP. Information includes the touch state (begin, move, end) and coordinates for all touch points.


- Designed for no-hassle: zero-click startup, the device does not sleep or suspend network, flicker- and lag-free. 


- Displaying images (fetched with URLs)  and caching them on the device for use on non-networked locations.


- Basic drawing with lines, boxes and text.

- Advanced drawing with OpenGL.
