Hey Eskimo,
We're in Wales- Cardiff- Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, to be exact.
We do loads of work with PD.
Where are you based?
Kilshaw~

You need to go into Utilities, Audiomidi Setup, and make sure that your IAC (InterApplicationMidi) is online. Double click it and make sure IAC is ticked as being online.
If you launch pd you should get the options in your midi prefs,
Hope that helps/ is useful,

Nice work, Tim

The patch looks to do just the job you want. You triggering noteouts to Reason? What's the sound world?
(Noticed that the release in makenote is very short) Deliberate?

Oh and yes, netpd is definitely where the money is. Almost as addicted as Tristan?!!

hey.ceri
This is a brilliant question. Pd has definitely changed my appreciation and engagement with the whole compositional process. If I'm honest, from someone who has been prolific in musical output in the way you describe for 15 years, I've almost stopped writing music since picking up pd. Its not even that I appreciate a new working method, but rather that is what excited me at the moment- more than musical output. That's kind of weird for me, but I don't resent it. I'm happy to be patching. That is composing for me. Ultra Modern new Music is about invention and new creations both in output and more importantly in technological advancements. New tools. New sounds. New unprescribed working methods. Always a challenge in the search to satiate the astonished ear.

HI CERI,
I've been working in netpd almost exclusively since Christams.
I find it has become the main tool for how I compose, think about music, interact, teach, perform.etc...........
Am I performing, or patching, or composing or are all three one and the same thing? These are the very issues that I have begun to ask myself as a computer musician.
Practically speaking, I am working on many things in pd from a qwerty theremin, to a self diffusing surround sound patch. I am currently designing a system of tilt sensors to allow for the performance of a tilt orchestra, where the bow of a cello or the baton of a conductor, the expressive appoggiaturae of flautists, or the stick of a percussionist can control synthesis parameters of the sound of the original acoustic instruments.
I have spent some time porting realtime composition library patches for live interactive use in netpd.
As part of my research I am composing and publishing a collection of patches to allow for live electroacoustic interaction anywhere in the world.
Hope you are well

Hey,
gcanvas is cool. Never came across it before. I've been using grid. That works too.
