a lot of patches people write a very specifically tied to their hardware config and designed for their specific aim, and as such don't have much general use posibility. i (and i assume many others) have a few of big patches that i've done for various project that i wont give a general release since there is really no point. if you are looking for patches to learn from others coding i'm sure some people would send them privately. so yeah, the pd community is a lot larger than it looks by what is published for general reuse.

Hi Jerome,
I think externals is what you are going to find the most on the Internet. Not that people does not want to share their patches, maybe just because it takes a while before being able to offer something easy and simple to understand (that' s my case). Also, many of my patches are very specific to what I do and I don' t see the aim of sharing them.(maybe this is a mistake) Finally I don' t know how many people are using pd (that would be interesting to know) but Max is the package most people use and users using mainly pd are reasonably not a lot (I think) . Your project sounds interesting. You should have a look at Jamma which is a very interesting patch. http://www.mortmain.com/pd/pd.html
GoodLuck une autre francais. Alex

hI again,
I've seen some patches PD on websites recommanded on the mailing list and I'm a little disappointed. Just 10 or 15 patchs on the Web, it's a joke?
Tell me more about the PD communauty, maybe the main purpose is to create
externals?
I'm a french guy, I would like to participate on the possible translation of PD documentation in French, Do you think it will be happened?
I'm working on an interactive (sensors convert to midi) sampler with PD, I will put it on the web. If anyone is working about the same idea, may be we can give ourself some stuff.
greeting,
