Hey all
I just released another version of my pet project netpd. While not so much has changed in netpd itself, this is the first release available as AppImage for Linux. There are also apps for Windows and macOS (code- signed and notarized). Those are meant to be user-friendly for people not familiar with Pd. netpd still runs (and will forever) with regular Pd and some externals.
Feedback is welcome!
There is a small, but committed user base regularly using netpd and having jam sessions. While not flawless, netpd has matured in recent years and might interest people that like creating electronic music (of any kind). A handful of new instruments have been developed which are hosted separately and thus not always mentioned in the netpd release notes, but it's probably those that create the fun. Let me just mention a few of the more recent ones:
untik - new versatile clock system supporting time patterns with irregular intervals and polyrhythms metaseq - a meta sequencer that slices timelines and re-arranges them elorg - an organ emulation mmmarimba - a marimba based on Mike Moser-Booth's marimba patch filtlib - filter effect library mx - added support for nesting effects in other effects
Of course, netpd users might develop their own instruments and use them with their peers. A handful of such instruments is in circulation. The documentation of the topic has recently been updated (see links below).

So.. I guess that's enough of shameless self-advertisement...
Enjoy! Roman

Cool!
Is Mike Moser-Booth still around? He made some fantastic patches, some of which I still use today (his multimode filter especially)

I don't know, but I do know that I appreciate his patches. I'd love to have more time to port some of his synth patches to netpd.
mmb: you around still?
