We had a great Pd workshop here in Berlin last weekend, with 9 participants from all over Europe at the Pickled Feet space to get an introduction to the mysteries of Pure Data. The first day focused on sound synthesis and sample manipulation, the second on simple video using GEM and the third on using sensor inputs from the Nintendo Wii, Arduino and the low cost/high speed Pickled Feet AVR/HID input board to control both sound and image.

In case others are interested, we kept a Wiki of some of the most important information here:

Those interested in future workshops (beginning again in Nov/Dec) can subscribe to the mailing list by contacting Martin Howse:
