Hallo, Mathieu Bouchard hat gesagt: // Mathieu Bouchard wrote:
Btw, it's in pd/doc/2.control.examples/10.more.messages.pd , and I'd have trouble considering anything in that folder as being non-basic.
I must say, when thinking about the time when I learned Pd that there is a lot to swallow at the beginning. I never could attend a workshop, so I learned by doing Pd, reading stuff and from help on this list. Now it's easier as there are many workshops all over, but I guess the "old timers" like me or Hans all learned Pd without a teacher. And 2.control.examples is not as much fun as 3.audio.examples, so the value of that directory wasn't clear to me immediatly.
But what I did was simple: I read all the docs over and over. Again and again, and repeated that once every year at least. And with docs I explicitely include the html-docs, which is something many people seem to skip or only skim through once.
Just like Hans it took me a while to understand the concept behind semicolon senders and how they are equivalent to [s something] and how ";pd dsp" is the same as [s pd] ... But once I got that, it opened up all kinds of neat patching tricks and made certain things much easier to do and to understand that I was struggling with before.
Ciao
