Please download the following example for use in today’s lab.
Here is a link to the download location for PureData (Pd):

We will be using the “vanilla” version maintained by Miller Puckette but I will explain a bit about other available version, including:
Purr Data: https://agraef.github.io/purr-data/
PdL2Ork: https://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/make-your-own-l2ork/software/
Pd CEAMMC (Centre of Electoacoustic Music of Moscow Conservatory): https://puredata.info/downloads/ceammc
All three of these are built upon a historic version of Pd called “Pd-extended”, which I will discuss in class (by way of showing scope, a list of objects available can be found here). Pd is a sister application to Max/MSP, which has been included in the Suite version of Live for many years and is foundational to many powerful extension of Live’s core functionality. Pd can also be embedded as a VST in Live via tools like, Camomile.
