Composers could use Pd's visual programming environment to create data-flow diagrams for the sound processing as planned in their composition ideas. Then engineers could validate and, in collaboration with the composers, clarify any part of the diagrams. In order to program a sound synthesis engine as planned by a composer's digram, engineers could use any available method of Pd or its external libraries, or develop new ones. The development of the performer's interface could be based on adaptive, device-focused (sensors-equipped, tangible etc.) data mining engines. Such an approach should not only support the development of performer specific interfaces but will also accelerate the process of the interface development and calibration. Furthermore, a performer gains dexterity on a certain interface by practice. Making available the mapped control parameters of the engine for calibration by the performer himself, should help his practice gain in quality. | Composers could use Pd's visual programming environment to create data-flow diagrams for the sound processing as planned in their composition ideas.

Pd software is used by many electroacoustic composers and engineers, who share resources and publish their work and tools online. Exploring the field of electroacoustic music becomes more fruitful by using FLOSS and interacting with its online supporters. It is common to hear from electroacoustic music artists/composers «I am a musician, not an engineer...» or the exact opposite from engineers. The workflow proposed in this paper aims at helping projects of collaboration in electroacoustic musical instrument creation, run with consistency to the initial idea and not end up wrapping around whatever technology available. | Pd software is used by many electroacoustic composers and engineers, who share resources and publish their work and tools online.
