Hello all
I discovered this :
the other day. What a cool idea, shame its not available yet for other platforms. Its a clever use of OSC imo.A big bit of nostalgia for me, as I started out with music using computers using Noisetracker on an Atari ste!! I think this style of [non-algorhythmic] sequencing for pd is really nice. It is quick, compact and easy to knock up patterns and songs and not too demanding on cpu. For me this has always been the hardest thing about composing in Pd; after you have created your wacky sound machine, you then have to create a sort of sequencer to fashion it into a piece of music. I mean, that can be a trivial time consuming process that often detracts from seeing the global scale of a track. You can often spend so much time fiddling with some effect, that really doesn't sound good within the whole context of things.
Has anyone had any experience of this with Pd? Maybe there's an external somewhere.....
your thoughts?
