How can I open 2 instances of pd at the same time? (I'd like to use 1 for audio and 1 for gem.) I'm using a MacBook (10.6.4) - any help would be appreciated.

Isn't that as simple as, well,... opening 2 instances of pd? On windows you would doubleclick twice on the pd icon...

It's not quite that simple, but I got it - you have to launch the second instance from the terminal. - right click on pd extended app in finder

• choose show package contents
• open the mac OSX folder and click on the pd extended file
  that's it.
  I am very new to computers and almost all of my time has been spent using Pd and Processing so there is a lot of basic stuff I don't know. Domien could you tell me if you can open the second zip folder I put in the patches section yesterday?

I think on a mac if you make a copy of the application (and best call it something else, like 'PD2') it should run a second instance
