I'm looking to build up a library of synths to start playing from my keyboard right away and was hoping to get some tips on where to look. I've looked thru the sites on the PD webring and beyond, and there really don't seem to be that many.

Does anyone have some they wouldn't mind sharing or sites they know are good for this?

I'm getting into building my own synths soon, but there's a bit of beginner bullshit I have to wade thru first...

Hi,

just few addresses to start (not exhaustive at all!), the first that come in my mind:

• Andy's (Obiwannabe) site: http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk (look at toys and gizmos, definitely
  a good place to look at)
• NetPD project (net-shared PD): http://www.netpd.org/NetpdPatches
• Tom Erbe's students: http://music.ucsd.edu/~tre/
• Frank Barknecht PDX7 http://footils.org/cms/show/51

... and many others

I personally started here:
http://www.puredata.org/community/patches

digging into each of the examples I could find.
You'll soon discover that "standard" synths are just a small
part of PD expression.

Good luck and keep us informed !,

Alberto

Thanks Alberto, I hadn't come across a couple of those.

Anything decent that I come up with will definitely be up for grabs.
