I had avoided PD for a long time because I don't like clicky-draggy things, and prefer
working with text.
Bah, what was I thinking??! PD is tight! Fast, simple, and it works. I love it.
Many thanks to whomever pointed me at PD. I had been banging my head against the wall,
trying to figure out how to build MIDI-controlled instruments in SC/ChucK/Csound-- and it
turned out to be trivially easy in PD. There was some sample code, I modified it, and
here we are:

I also had avoided dealing with seq24 for a long time, but now after having used it for a
few tunes, I like it a lot.
(Hydrogen, PHASEX, AZR3, and fluidsynth were also used on this tune)

Pretty cool.
The phoneme sequence could be more fluid.
Maybe just compression would do the trick.
Beats sound typical of Hydrogen.

Ah, good catch, thanks! I noticed that when I first started, then I guess I got used to
it. Thanks for the reminder.
Maybe just compression would do the trick.
I put a slight ramp envelope in PD (it was so easy... just a vline~. The more I use PD the
more it delights me.) so that the samples don't start so abruptly, which reduces the
clicks.
The samples were recorded by 6 different speakers in 6 different languages in 6 different
ambiances, then were normalized to try to even them out. I didn't want to compress
because the hits are all different velocities and I wanted to keep those dynamics. so I
created an artificial ambience for the voices, so that they sound a little together. I
basically fed the voices through a CAPS AMPIV (!) and then rolled off the low end to take
off some of the noise, then fed the voices through a small-room convolution reverb to make
it sound a bit more like the speakers are in the same room.

Hey, it's a late-1970's fatback/funk/disco groove, straight 4-on-the-floor,
repetitive. Hydrogen does the job just fine. Nor does it seem to mind wearing a leisure
suit and/or Sergio Valente jeans with a comb sticking out of its back pocket. :-).

Pd is great. If you also use Csound, check out the csoundapi~ Pd object
that comes with it. Pure Data basically calling Csound, sending whatever
messages you want. I like it because I like designing instruments and sound
processing in Csound (especially for the pvs opcodes), and as you say, MIDI
input is far simpler in Pd, but may be passed to Csound through csoundapi~.

And thanks for sharing you enthusiasm with us. I looked a bit on pd 4
years ago, but recently have been tempted to give it a serious spin again.
I had been banging my head against the wall, trying to
figure out how
to build MIDI-controlled instruments in SC/ChucK/Csound
I think it's pretty easy in csound... Is it still non-trivial to write
polyphonic midi instruments in pd? In csound it's easy, even has dynamic
voice allocation out of the box. Can something like this e done in pd?
Could you elaborate a bit on how you did this? Was is seq24 drivind
everything? How did you sync pd to seq24?

I'll bet dollars to donuts it was Frank Barknecht who pointed you in
that direction.
