WORKSHOP 1: REAL-TIME SYNTHESIS AND AUDIO PROCESSING USING PD Miller Puckette, University of California at San Diego, USA Sunday, October 31, 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM USD 40 / EUR 32,50 Pure Data (Pd), available for Mac, Windows, and linux, offers real-time audio processing and synthesis, a Max-like GUI, and a very high degree of integration between control, audio, video, and I/O operations, in an extremely light package. This workshop, intended for people familiar with software synthesis but not assuming any particular technological background, will show what Pd is like and how to get started with it. Time permitting, the more shown. Miller Puckette was the top scorer in the 1979-1980 William Lowell Putnam Mathematics competition and was awarded Putnam and NSF fellowships to study mathematics at MIT and Harvard, where he finished his Ph.D. in 1986 under Andrew Gleason. From 1979 through 1986 Puckette also studied computer music with Barry Vercoe at the MIT Media Lab. He then joined IRCAM in Paris, where he wrote the Max graphic programming language, which has become the lingua franca of live computer music. In 1994 Puckette joined UCSD where he is now professor of music and associate director of the Center for Research in Computing and the Arts. Puckette's research interests include human-machine interaction strategies and real-time audio and video processing. http://www.icmc2004.org/
