Hi, has anybody tried PD with a tenori-on as a midi
controller?
I think that Monome is the best for PD, but I'm a Toshio
Iwae fan...
LOVEPD

pure data is an opensource program from cycling74's family,
its totally freee, but it's quite complicated. I've been
workin' on it for two months learning by the internet and
i'm very, very happy with the results, maths, music and
video, Three as one. It's the most powerful tool I have ever
used. Now I understand Lps like DRAFT 7.30

Please, do tell.... How has working with PD allowed you to
understand Draft 7.30? What is it that your understand now
that you didnt understand before?

can someone who totally sucked at high school level math
understand one of these programs alone without spending a
month wage in a course? im talking about max/msp too, which
i never tried.

k, then i think i'm gonna erase things i've been making with

installing max msp as the only audio app. let's see if i'm
intelligent enough to handle it properly. thanks for

yeah, I'm just fucking with you pulsey.

I've used both approaches, DAW and modular programming
stuff.

Sometimes I say to myself, why reinvent the wheel....
Sometimes I feel like I need to make the mother of all
interface thingies where the software and the song are
indistinguishable.

yeah ableton gets too like hip hop oriented, although the
new slicing abilites is cool for drum programming, but the
whole session/arrangement thing is kind of annoying after a
while. i do have logic express, but i dont know if i can
utilize that in anyway, is it worth a try?

LAZY_TITLE

pulseclock, you can try running both of them simultaneously
via rewire, thats easier to set up in Logic 8. dunno if it
will open your mind though, at the end of the day its a
sequencer and if you can play with live's one why bother

If you are not an amazing programmer then forget these
programs. Cylob has actually blown me away on what he's done
with supercollider. He is a true programmer. Do you have
that kind of talent?

Fuck THAT.

Cylob uses SuperCollider, which is SCRIPT.

Max and PD are not programming, technically speaking.

Dude, seriously.... point of advice. RTFM. for real.
Also, go into with it having something in mind.... a simple
synth, a drum machine, a waveform jumper thingy...
otherwise, you'll be building on a clean slate and that can
seem daunting.

They aren't script but the philosophy behind the way you
construct things is programming. It can be harder actually
because you could spend a week drawing little wires all over
the place and realize you made a fatal mistake early in the
process.At this point you are fucked. In Supercollider those
things are easy to remedy

You can do the same stupid thing in a written programming
language if you're a bad programmer and hardcode things over
and over instead of abstracting them in functions and
classes. Max and PD have abstract objects, so you can change
the "template" in one place and it changes in everything
that uses that object. Your master patch should just be a
container that holds your parts together. Then it's easy to
make changes.

Max patches for Mac: I have Autechre max patches. Try
google. Try em411.

Data flow, yes.

Not being able to debug... not necessarily the case. There
is a trace function.

A complex max patch. I'm sorry, can look a mess and I don't
see how it could be easy to debug. What if you fail to make
an abstract object? I agree that the basics are out of the
way in Max. Supercollider you have to build the pencil than
start drawing. Which is annoying.
