“Ich bin ein Objekt”: Learning Pure Data as a Language
Pure Data (or Pd[[Pure Data]] a dataflow programming environment) 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[[Pure Data]] a dataflow programming environment 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 FLOSSFree/Libre Open Source Software Manual. This workshop gives a good starting point for more advanced Pd[[Pure Data]] a dataflow programming environment workshops.
