I wrote the news item for this on pure-data.org, so you might want to check there. pure-data.org also is becoming a center for patches, documentation and more. The book is quite theoretic: lots of math and formulas. So be warned ;( But it also includes deeper explanations of the example patches. A nice new project is the "Pd Repertory Project". It is "an attempt to make stable, open-source implementations of pieces in the electronic music repertory". > I have a distinct perception of the power of pd, and I will surely buy that > book when it comes out (old paper is still more "friendly" to me). > For now I am limited to the "pure documentation" examples (which are very > interesting), but I would like to do my own "patches" with a little of > awareness. For example, what can I do with MIDI in pd (I don't mean > controlling pd from a sequencer, but using pd to generate MIDI events)? Greg Rippin wrote a very interesting master thesis on this topic.
