I love pd
it has taught me more about multi-platforms, electroacoustics, plugins,externals,ports,midi, RT, in the last 5 years (which i think was 0.27 if i am not completely forgetfull. I have tried to show dozens of people pd and they will usually say
"you realise now i have no idea what you are talking about Pat"
or
they will mention Miller, but rare few at least locally here use it. i have successfully used pd for several eA concerts then afterwards a few folks will ask about it then i will begin to tell them how i use it and they will usually say
"you realise now i have no idea what you are talking about Pat"
pd is a wonderful tool
sometimes it's nice to be arcing on that learning curve (LOL)
cheers~
