Can anybody help me point out who uses PD to teach electronic music? .. (Algoritmic) Composistion Synthesis DSP-theory real-time performance
What are the pros and cons for using it to teach DSP-theory?
I currently teach a bit of that at www.khm.de and obviously Miller uses it, the IEM does and probably many others.
Generally lets put it that way: Max/MSP is a standard tool to teach what you mentioned above. Without starting a war if Pd or Max/MSP are the better tools, I do believe that Pd can be used as a drop-in replacement in most university courses of that kind.
The advantage of Pd here is, that it is much cheaper for the students, that you can look at the source, if you're so inclined, and that it runs on Linux.
The major disadvantage of Pd is a less organized documentation, but if you teach Pd in a school, that is not a big issue IMO, as you generally make up your own teaching material anyways. At least I do.
