moin Pall, moin list,
Many apologies that the ratts help files seem to be less than entirely intuitive to first-time users; in my defense, I can only say: "sheesh, man, if you folks think the ratts pd API is poorly documented, y'all should see the rsynth code"...
ok, now that I've gotten that out of my system (no flame intended, honestly): do you have an immediate suggestion as to how I could improve things? I realize that a ratts chain has more user-settable parameters than you can shake a proverbial stick at, but the defaults should be sensible (if you want something that sounds vaguely like human speech), and playing with those strange animals is half the fun ;-) I included the 'ratts~' abstraction so that users could get an idea how all those separate objects work together and/or just "make pd talk"; and I rather hoped that the 'ratts-help.pd' help patch would suffice for an overview of the objects in it... oh well...

Hi list,
I've toyed around with Ratts quite a bit and when you do have the help files it makes everything seem more complicated than it really is. So, here's a little patch that contains the bare essentials that you need to do start experimenting with Ratts:
