Hallo,

Frank, as you already know I'm really interested
in pd, but I find myself
really sluggish: I can't grasp it at all but I heard of an upcoming book
from its author, do you have any news in that respect?
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. See
