An overview of Pure Data, as described on the Pd home page :
“Pd is an open-source visual programming language. Pd enables musicians, visual artists, performers, researchers, and developers to create software graphically, without writing lines of code. Pd is used to process and generate sound, video, 2D/3D graphics, and interface sensors, input devices, and MIDI. Pd can easily work over local and remote networks to integrate wearable technology, motor systems, lighting rigs, and other equipment. Pd is suitable for learning basic multimedia processing and visual programming methods as well as for realizing complex systems for large-scale projects.
I will be covering :
- Installation of Pd
- Testing the installation
- Basics of Pd
- Running some simple scripts
- Connecting to MIDI devices : virtual and physical
- Communicating with other devices over OSC (Open Sound Control)
Bring your computers and your questions. Thanks!
