Pure Data Help

Their is plenty of help for Pure Data below are just some them. However you are not expected to create your own Pd patch that extracts the weather data from the Antarctic, this will be provided for you at the time of the Antarctic Data Jam. The links to the tutorials below should give you a better understanding of Pure data.

No actual tutorials available, but there is a whole load of info out there. Here the links from Sound On Sound....

http://pure-data.info

This is the main Pure Data site. You can download the program from here, and I'd recommend going for the package called Pd-extended, because this includes lots of additional processing objects. The Community area offers loads of patch examples to help you get going.

Here you can find the Pmpd collection of objects for Pure Data, which offer a variety of physical modelling processes that can be applied to audio processing.

This is the home of I-Cube X, a pre-assembled sensor-to-MIDI conversion system which is particularly easy to use. However, it is also more expensive than other more DIY options.

http://eroktronix.com

Here you can get a fairly low-cost sensor-to-MIDI system, but you need to know some electronics to wire things up. www.doepfer.de Doepfer also sell pre-assembled circuits for making custom MIDI controllers. www.sparkfun.com Various sensors, circuit modules, and robotics gear which can be hooked up and used with Pure Data.

Open Sound Control is a newer MIDI-type protocol which allows Pure Data to communicate directly with applications such as Max/MSP, Csound, and Supercollider. It also interfaces with the powerful Jazz Mutant Lemur touchscreen hardware controller.

http://www.eyesweb.org

This free Windows-only visual recognition software which can communicate with Pure Data using Open Sound Control.
