Researchers Adolf Murillo and Jesús Tejada from IUCIE, along with a multidisciplinary team of researchers from different Spanish universities, have developed the Aglaya Play Control app, an innovative application that turns smartphones and tablets into wireless controllers for Aglaya Play, a free software designed for collaborative music creation in educational and creative environments.

Aglaya Play Control allows for simple remote control of various modules of the Aglaya Play system, such as the Sampler and Multisampler (for controlling sounds in WAV or MP3 format), Key and Instrument (for playing VST virtual instruments), Looper (for creating and manipulating loops in real time), and Creative Transformer (for applying precise sound effects), or for remotely triggering recordings. All of this is done via a Wi-Fi connection and using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol, compatible with Windows or Mac computers.

This app doesn't generate sound itself, but rather acts as a control interface for the freely available Aglaya Play software. Its intuitive design makes it a powerful tool for both the classroom and any creative space, facilitating new ways to experiment with sound and enhancing collaborative creation.
