Hi folks,
just about to dload & install PD.
I've had some experience with Max, & after recently beginning to explore csound, a subsequent desire to (at least think about..) going all open source, a desire to make some GUI stuff for csound, & to check out some PMPD examples (boing!), i'm taking (another) deep breath, & biting the bullet. so PD here we go...
So here's my initial questions/ want list.
- how's the "out the box GUI" situation compared to max? the objects
that get a real hammering from me (in Max) are Multislider & function (or better yet, the ej-ies JSUI function object) - is there a similar pair of "workhorses" ready to roll in PD?
- is pfft~ & all related fft functionality available & built/ patched/
managed in the same way?
is there an Lobjects or equivalent for pd?
what's the best source of documentation for PD? (given i have some
experience with Max, & spend much more time with the Reference manual than the tutorials at this stage.)
- for the (perhaps many of you) like me who have made the switch, what
pitfalls, windfalls, general timesaving advice would u give?
Thanks folks! looking forward to us driving each other crazy! ; )
merry xmas
Tim
