Hi fellow Pd-ers!
firstly thanks to all who contribute to this list and make it such a good read and a fantastic source of tips and ideas, I have definitely learned a huge amount from reading this list!
I have recently been making what was intended to be an Internet-based installation/shared composition. The idea was to use a java applet written in Processing as the front-end with a realtime Pd synthesis engine running in the browser with the Pd browser Plugin.
At the moment I am having a lot of problems with the plugin -it refuses to read any external files, eg samples, txt files, abstractions etc- so I have made a semi-standalone version which definitely works on MacOSX and also for Linux and Windows platforms (exported directly from Processing) with the synthesis engine as a normal Pd patch. The only dependency is OSC.
I thought I'd share it with you to see what you think of the sound, design and atmosphere of the project. Also if you had any suggestions or found bugs I would be very pleased to hear about it. (please ignore the current browser-based version, it really is not working at all)
If you would like to check out the semi-standalone version, it can be downloaded from http://www.soundingbody.co.uk as a .zip file.
thanks for reading, hope you are all making cool digital sounds :D

(ps. if the audio starts to become distorted because of CPU on startup, delete body.txt and bodypd.txt, as they control how many instances of grains there are)
