![]() Worth revisiting this film of a Pd event in Nantes for a bit of visual stimulation regarding what Pd can do: I find I enjoy working with each, and switching between the two feels really strangely different, even if familiarity with one can help with the other. Pd is free and lightweight, a more canonical vision of what the Max/Pd family would be, and as a result can run in environments where Max can’t. Max is a much bigger program, apart from costing some money that’s what allows it to do things like let you patch with DSP code (which can now be exported), or work with Ableton Live. But they’re best thought of as very distinct tools, in increasingly different directions. ![]() The obvious comparison to Pd is Max/MSP – the two tools share the same lineage, the same original creator (Miller Puckette), lots of concepts and object names, and even some code. Git clone git://.net/p/pure-data/pure-data And now is a good time to say, don’t bother with for the vanilla version. Having OSC support built-in was for most of us doing run-of-the-mill stuff the last remaining obstacle to using Pd across mobile and desktop, so that’s really nice. (Overdue – thanks!)Īnd of course the usual bug fixes and improvements. Netsend/netreceive bi-directional TCP support.No more manually setting up devices: “Audio and MIDI devices saved by name so that when they get switched around Pd has a better chance of restoring settings correctly.”.Built-in support for Jack (inter-app audio, etc.) on OS X.still require the slip encoder/decoder by mrpeach.) oscformat, oscparse objects now does OSC over UDP. Native OSC (Open Sound Control) support.(It’s the “vanilla” version, so perfectly suited to work with libpd for iOS, Android, and game development, among other things.) And while those usually don’t merit specific mention, 0.46 is very cool. And because it’s free software, it’s also been adapted to run places other tools can’t – it’s been used in commercial iOS apps with millions of downloads (via libpd), and will run happily on a Raspberry Pi or even a hacked e-reader or ancient iPod.Ĭontrary to popular belief, it’s also getting a healthy stream of updates. The open-source, free graphical patching environment can do everything from simple MIDI tasks to building synths and effects to advanced multimedia.
