I'd not experimented with PD before, and your post has got me enthused!
Spent most of yesterday reading up on it, then finally got to try it this
afternoon. Had some difficulties getting the right combination of
things to
get MIDI connected to my somewhat out-of-date version of Yoshimi, but
got it
working eventually. I had to go back and re-read the README.md file,
and note
that I had to click on the big blue toggle to get anywhere!
Great stuff!
Glad you managed to try it out and eventually play with it. Yes Pd is a
really really cool software and creative/inspiring paradigm IMHO.
I was uncertain about adding comments because while they are a good
practice they tend to 'clutter' the Pd canvas a bit. Maybe next time
I'll add 'click me' at least on the relevant bangs and toggles.
BTW there's also a dedicated (and very active!) Pure Data mailing list
[1] with lots of Pd experts and even Miller, Pd's creator / maintainer /
founder ... :-)
