This introduction to Pd is in the form of a series of Pd patches.
We demonstrate sound synthesis using a series of patches.


* Save the lecture (a series of Pd patches archived here: [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/lectures/pd/pd_lecture.tar.gz pd_lecture.tar.gz]) in your personal directory (in our examples the <code>'~/clarence'</code> directory):  OS X might automatically save it to your Desktop.  So, you may have to move it first to <code>'~/clarence'</code>
* If you are using Pd, save the series of patches for Pd [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/workshop/pd_lecture.zip pd_lecture.zip] to your computer and uncompress them.
** Extract files like this:
              ~> mv ~/Desktop/pd_lecture.tar.gz ~/clarence
              ~> cd ~/clarence
    ~/clarence> tar xzf pd_lecture.tar.gz


* Start Pd by clicking on the Pd icon on the Dock.
<!-- * If you are using Max/MSP, save the series of patches for Max [http://ccrma.stanford.edu/courses/250a/workshop/max_lecture.zip max_lecture.zip] to your computer and uncompress them. -->
* Start up Pd.


* Read and try the patches.
* Read and try the patches.


* Look through the Pd Examples from the 'Help' Menu.
* Look through further example patches: In Pd, the examples can be found in the 'Help' Menu. In Max/MSP, see the Max Tutorials and MSP Tutorials in the Help menu.

A collection of STK Physical and FM synthesis objects are now available in Pd. Check out the following objects:
<!--
== STK ==
You might like to experiment with a collection of STK Physical and FM synthesis objects.  To make them available in Max/MSP, you will need to install [http://www.music.columbia.edu/PeRColate/ PeRColate].  If you are using Windows, [http://theguitarzeros.com/fretbuzz/PeRColate-v0.9b5.zip look here].
 
 
Recently, [http://megrimm.net/software/PeRColate-OSX-Intel-10.5/ PeRColate was compiled again for Pd for OS X].  If all else fails, [[Stk2pd]] should work for Linux or OS X.
 
 
To install on Windows, copy the contents of the PeRCOlate_objects (Win) directory to your C:\Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.0\Cycling '74\max-externals directory. Then copy the PeRColate_help contents to C:\Program Files\Cycling '74\Max 5.0\Cycling '74\max-help to enable help.

We demonstrate sound synthesis using a series of patches.

  • If you are using Pd, save the series of patches for Pd pd_lecture.zip to your computer and uncompress them.
  • Start up Pd.
  • Read and try the patches.
  • Look through further example patches: In Pd, the examples can be found in the 'Help' Menu. In Max/MSP, see the Max Tutorials and MSP Tutorials in the Help menu.
  • Look at the links for Pd and Max/MSP on the PID Links page.
