pureData

I saw a bunch of posts relating to fruityloops and stuff like that, and I was wondering if anyone composed with pD or Max/MSP. Its a graphical programming language based in C.

Anyway, if anyone does, I'm looking for either a better external than reverb~ or a way to use audio units in it. Been fighting with a project for a while, and i've gotten it down to just the reverb before i can shape the piece.

I've tried to learn the syntax and GUI of MAX/MSP - there's a STEEP learning curve, expecially for someone not well versed in that sort of thing (like myself). I've since given up...and am going to be of no help to you.

I was interigued by the prospect of interactive electronics, but it will take a lot of study, trial & error, and screwups. I was able to build a basic tone generator, but beyond that I couldn't wrap my head around it.

Anyway - you're certainly not the only one around here who has run into pureData and MAX, perhaps some of our resident electro-acoustic modernists will have more input...
