What is Puredata?
Pure Data is a computer music system installed on the computer music workstation. It's a graphical patcher language that is the third generation of patcher languages for digital synthesis and control. It's predecessors are Max/MSP and Max (without the MSP part).
How does it work?
That's a big subject. I'll leave that to the project docs.
I want it on my computer!
You can have it on your computer! It's open source software that runs on Macs, PCs and Linuxes!
Is it good for live performance?
Yes. It's also good for building synthesizers. The version at Noisebridge is running on Windows, which kind of sucks because it didn't appear to have ASIO drivers. Then I found some more information and now it does have ASIO drivers. The audio settings are very important for good responsive live performance. I could only go down to 12 milliseconds of latency with a 64k buffer size at 44100 Hz. Do not check that "use callbacks" box. It literally breaks everything.
PD also does MIDI. Use the 828mkii driver for that. It's in the menu.
