you know, i'm sure there were many people installing pd but not eager enough to understand the whole program resulting in the deinstallation.
I still don't understand the whole program. Why should I ?
for many people it is too timeconsuming to get to a result where they can make music but i think pd should be for anyone also for people who came from software like reason or fruity loops.
There are already a lot of pd patches (aka "programs written in the pd language") that implement some readymade synth. The step that most wouldn't dare to do, is the political one of asserting that one particular patch should be the first one to get tried.
the best opensource audio/video software should be used and be usable by EVERYBODY
Pd doesn't have to be usable by people who don't want to use it.
By finding what the word "EVERYBODY" should mean here, a lot of progress could be made.
