Is it time for having a pool for Pd-made music? There was the Pd radio which I quite liked. Would it require a lot of effort to bring it up again?
Not quite the same, but as you know, http://rjdj.me has hours and hours of Pd-made music, albeit in 22050 Hz, so it's not exactly a showcase for the most hifi Pd sounds possible. Still I find many of these to be pretty good sounding.
Regarding the smoothness of Max/Pd/etc. lets heed to the words of our grandfather Max Mathews:
"Max and Pd allow almost anyone to synthesize uninteresting timbres almost instantly. Making interesting timbres is much more difficult and requires much additional knowledge." http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques/latest/book-html/node5.html
It's not so much the tool, as it is the skills that makes music sound good. If you use a [phasor~] as a sawtooth oscillator source, you're "wrong" in both Max and Pd.
