To learn PD, you can try this tutorial : http://iem.kug.ac.at/pdwiki/index.php?PdTutorial

Patches in the pd/doc directory are very useful if you want to learn almost everything about pd in a progressive manner.

If you have some questions, please check this FAQ first: http://www.pure-data.org/ and the pd-list archive : http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/

Anyway, the best way to learn pd is to create your own patches. The practice will really help you to clearly understand how it works.

I am a student at SUNY Purchase, taking a sound art course under Liz Phillips this semester, and I am interested in learning my way around PD

for

use in some projects. Can anyone point me to some good tutorials or information on learning PD? I have read through most of the documentation that comes with the program, but I am still kind of lost. This type of software environment is pretty new to me, and I know there is a steep learning curve, but I think it will be well worth my time and effort to become comfortable with the program. If anyone has any advice or

comments,

I would greatly appreciate them. Max/MSP, PD, and the like have not, as

far

as I know, ever been instructed or used at my school; so, by learning more about this program I will also be introducing it to many other students

and

instructors who could benefit from PD.

Thanks,

Josh Tonsfeldt
