Hello,
Here is my release of Abunch, a collection of 50 abstractions for Pd vanilla. I started developing these patches for the different courses that I teach (for performers, for composers, for students, for teenagers,...). It is conceived as an easy introduction to computer music. After a while I started adding more advanced features because I also started using it myself, not just for teaching but for performing and composing.
I guess most people on this list are Pd-users, so the explanation about Abunch is rather simple: -all controle data are normalized within the range of 0 - 127 -give an unique number to every abunch abstraction as an argument. So if you want to create two phasers: [phaser 1] and [phaser 2] -you can save presets by creating the object 'presets' and giving it one symbol as an argument, like [presets phaserpresets]
Every abunch object has a help file. You need to have a Pd version 0.40 or higher.
The fastest way to get to know Abunch is to have a look at the example files. There are about 30 of them, they are in the abunch folder and start with 'ex' (like 'ex1a-play.pd').
You can download Abunch (and find more information) on this site: http://home.versateladsl.be/hanstine/hans/abunch-eng.htm
Voor de Nederlandstaligen: je kan ook een Nederlandstalige versie downloaden (met help files en uitleg in het Nederlands): http://home.versateladsl.be/hanstine/hans/abunch-ned.htm
Abunch was realized with the support of the University College of Ghent (Faculty of Music and Drama)(Belgium).
