eine deutsche Version dieser Seite gibt es hier: Pure Data - wo finde ich Hilfe?
Pure Data or short Pd may look frightening at first. The user interface shines by beeing blank and empty. How to get started? Which are the available objects and how do they work? This list here wants to give some hints on the most valuable fakts and links to get you started.
- http://puredata.info/downloads is the landing page to download vanilla Pd and Purr-Data.
- A basic start will give you the Flossmanual Pure Data. It covers almost all topics from installation, configuration to more complex programming techniques.
- The official manual for Pd can be accessed by a web browser locally through the menue Help → HTML. It is written by Pd's author Miller-Puckette and in English. Be warned: the manual can be a bit technical, but some of the important stuff is only to be found there. The manual is the reference for any other third party help.
- Examples. In the same menu you'll find the example patches if you click on “Browser”. The examples you'll find in the folder “Audio Examples” have the same chapter numbers than the book The Theory and Technique of Electronic Music ISBN 981-270077-3 by Miller Puckette online HTML or PDF, you may look at those patches parallel to reading the book. For beginners it might have a steep learning curve but you can stop any time and come back there later. Following Help → Browser → Manuals you'll also find some tutorials better suited for beginners: Intro, Sound, Visual und Networking
- Context menu → Help: If you rightclick on any object → Help you'll open the Help-Patch for this object where the function is explained. With rightclick-Help on the background of the patching window you'll get a lst of available objects.
- puredata.org is the official website for Pure Data. You'll find here up to date information, online-help, more weblinks, downloads, FAQ and more.
- You love video tutorials? Then search for videos . YouTube Playlist, Pure Data vimeo group
- The Workshop files with patches by Max Neupert and Frank Barknecht (some with german comments) for download here: Media:Pd workshop.zip. The Pd/Gem patches for the movement recognition: Bewegungsmelder.
- Andy Farnell is Author of the book Designing Sound ISBN 0-262-01441-6
- The book Loadbang by Johannes Kreidler with an online tutorial: http://www.pd-tutorial.com ISBN 978-3-936000-57-3
- The help of Gem. At http://gem.iem.at you may get up to date documentation, tutorials and help-patches for the graphics and 3D-library Gem. They are included in Pd-extended.
- More Gem tutorials: http://www.ekran.org/pd/
Giving back
If you feel gratitude that you were able to use Pure Data for your work free of charge and for the help of the developers and the community you have different ways to give back:
- spread the word
- upload and share your work and patches, so others can learn
- help beginners
- if you have programming skills write abstractions, externals or even get into the core Pd development
