What is PD?
<A HREF="https://puredata.info" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Puredata</A> (PD) is a free open source platform for composers/ musicians/ interactive artists. Pd enables musicians, visual artists, performers, researchers, and developers to create software graphically without writing lines of code. Pd can be used to process and generate sound, video, 2D/3D graphics, and interface sensors, input devices, and MIDI. Pd can easily work over local and remote networks to integrate wearable technology, motor systems, lighting rigs, and other equipment. It is suitable for learning basic multimedia processing and visual programming methods as well as for realising complex systems for large-scale projects.
Resources needed:
Each participant will need to bring their own laptop and headphones.
Each participant will need to <A HREF="https://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data/releases/0.43" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">preinstall Pd-Extended 0.43</A> on their laptop.
