Around a year ago I was looking into PD, MAX/MSP, Supercollider, CSound,
DSP in general etc. after playing with modular synths and synths w/
large modulation matrixes for a couple years. Kind of dropped all that
and picked the guitar back up for a while. Thinking about getting back
in to it but primarily from the perspective of realtime audio effects -
reverb, phasing, distortion, ring modulation, vocoding, gating, and 100
different things I'm sure you can think of (as opposed to creating a
completely virtual instrument).
How does PD stack up against MSP in that regard? Is there something
else I should be looking at? Another thought is picking up a Nord Micro
Modular but that wouldn't necessarily preclude the PD/MSP route.
Thanks!
