PD for Beginners

Instructor: Frank Barknecht

“Ich bin ein Objekt”: Learning Pure Data as a Language

Pure Data (or Pd) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. Because all of these types of media are handled as data in the program, many fascinating opportunities for cross-synthesis between them exist. Pd is commonly used for live music performance, VeeJaying, sound effects composition, interfacing with sensors, cameras and robots or even interacting with websites.

This introductory workshop is ideal for new users of Pure Data who are finding the "vocabulary" and "grammar" difficult to grasp. We will learn Pure Data as one would learn any other language, taking a series of very basic examples from the Pure Data FLOSS Manual. This workshop gives a good starting point for more advanced Pd workshops.
