Hello list,

I just recently discovered netpd, which is frigging AWESOME for those of us newbies that can't program PD very well just yet. However, I have a problem - when I open up _chat.pd, it's looking for people on my own LAN. Can I jam with folks across the internet? Is there a main server or servers that I can connect to? And if so, can you point me to the RTFM on that?

hi josh

nice to hear that you're willing to try netpd. currently it's not frequently used and i currently don't have internet at home, which makes the situation even worse. i hope i will be able to help to get more activity on it soon.

max already answered most of your questions. _chat.pd does automatically try to connect to the 'official' netpd-server on netpd.org on port 3025 on start-up. if you heard the login pling sound, then you were connected to server correctly, but most likely you were the only one around (sadly). and yeah, of course you can jam with people across the internet.

rtfm: there is no manual as such (yet), all the info available is on the wiki on http://www.netpd.org. i suppose, you read the 'about' and its subpages. the easiest way to get an introduction into netpd is finding someone else, who interactively shows you how to use it.

yo.. have fun and hopefully see you soon there...
