• AI can now master your music

  For node based workflows, check out Max or Pure Data. https://cycling74.com/products/max https://puredata.info/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• New To Lighting Design, Looking for guidance

  Tools like Ossia Score, Chataigne and PureData (pd) can also help a ton in building interactive art and triggering other A/V software. Source: 11 months ago

• WebPd 1.0.0 alpha released !

  WebPd is a highly modular compiler for audio programming language Pure Data allowing to run .pd patches on web pages. It converts the audio graph and processing objects from a patch into plain human-readable JavaScript or WebAssembly which can then be integrated directly into any web application.

• Is there any alternative to sonic pi?

  You might also be interested in the very different Pure Data (http://puredata.info/) environment, which is also free and open-source. It uses a visual programming approach, which many people like but if you are already a programmer it might seem inconvenient in comparison. Source: about 1 year ago

• Generating sine wave audio tone in kotlin/Java.

  Personally I got started with pure data, which is open source and a good place to learn DSP basics. I think there are even a few wrapper libraries for building things into apps (libpd, mobmuplat, to name a few). Source: about 1 year ago

• not really autechre related but probably someone here can help me out: I have a max msp patch that I want to import into ableton, but since I do not own a full max license I cannot change the patch. Can anybody help me?

  If you're looking for a free Max/MSP alternative, check out Pure Data. Source: over 1 year ago

• Cheapest way to make music

  Pure Data, cSound, and SuperCollider are all free and opensource. Incredible possibility, though the learning curb can be steep. Source: over 1 year ago

• Pico8 Music Synthesizer

  You might be interested in the Dirtywave M8. If you don’t want to buy or wait for the actual hardware, you are able to install the software yourself and run it in headless mode. https://dirtywave.com/ https://github.com/Dirtywave/M8HeadlessFirmware https://cycling74.com/products/max In terms of actually making music, I think that probably just comes with both practice and experimentation. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• What Music Apps use Faust Programming Language?

  You might take a look at PureData (https://puredata.info/) if you want to mess around. It runs on a lot of platforms and is pretty much free and there are a good number of youtube tutorials. Source: over 1 year ago

• Which flavor is the most popular/supported one?

  Hi, total noob here. I keep landing on the Pure Data community site (http://puredata.info/) and every time I read my options for download, I end up confused as to which branch of Pd I should be pursuing. The website isn't very clear, and instead just kinda reiterates where each flavor came from. Source: over 1 year ago

• What is a little known subject/application/problem that you learned about recently or are involved in that you think is fascinating?

  If you're interested in ChuCK, there's also Pure Data (a FOSS cousin of the commercial Max/MSP) and SuperCollider and a lot of live coding algorave sorta music things are built on top of SuperCollider like TidalCycles so you can execute lines of code live via a REPL or evaluating blocks of code in a document and generate beats in realtime.

• [OT-ish] Standalone Software Synthesizers

  A couple projects I can think of that you might be interested in are Pure Data and Bespoke. Source: over 1 year ago

• My analogue video VJ set (with $lick King DJ set) at ‘VAPORAMA’ club night is on YT now! Recorded live on VHS. Feat. 3:41:35 of vaporwave & live video glitching using a Panasonic WJ-MX10 mixer, a circuit bent Sega Mega Drive, Ultramatta DV Keyer, a faulty VTG228 titler, & VCRs... Hope you enjoy :)

  So PureData/GEM is free and open source. GEM is a library for PureData that adds the CGI stuff so you'll need to either add it to the vanilla version, or just dig out and install the PD Extended version which is the version I use. here's the website https://puredata.info/.

• Is there someone who can model it on an actual modular? I imagine short spring reverb before tape delay to get "diffuse" effect, similar to one in FabFilter Timeless plugin

  If you have questions like this often, you should learn how to use Pure Data. Source: almost 2 years ago

• C app that can build C apps

  - I have used graphical programing languages before, and it is long winded to do anything in it compared to writing text (check out https://puredata.info/). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there an audio equivalent of SVG?

  Have you tried Pure Data? While the editor is GUI based, the saved files are some manner of markup language you can grok or synthesize programmatically. As a language PD was invented for artists and creatives to utilize the multimedia capabilities of a computer without writing procedural code. Source: almost 2 years ago

• [QUESTION] I'm trying to make an electric guitar from scratch using an Arduino, and I need some help...

  It might be worth downloading Puredata and having a play with it. Source: about 2 years ago

• Cascade: Open-source Node-based image editor with GPU-acceleration

  Which iirc, is contextually referred to as visual programming. Some notable examples I've briefly used include: PureData [0] and SunVox [1] and some dabbling in Bespoke Synth [2] and generative content of Nodes.io [3]. [0] https://puredata.info/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Ten Steps to Becoming a Synth Dynamo

  Agreed that Eurorack or modular synthesis isn't something that I would recommend for a beginner. Also agree that a Eurorack system _could_ be an overly expensive version of an existing fixed-architecture synthesizer. Eurorack's potential, however, is a way to explore synthesis after you've learned the basics. It can be a very open playground to try synthesis ideas that may not be possible on a fixed-architecture... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Best Software For Cut Up/Sound Collage/Plunderphonics?

  Max is awesome. Great integration with Ableton too. If that's too expensive for you there is a similar software that is free called Pure Data (PD). Source: over 2 years ago

• How could I use a Wacom tablet as a midi controller?

  If you don't want to use a computer, tablet, or phone as a 'translator', you're going to need custom hardware. One computer that's almost invisible on stage is the Raspberry Pi, but you'd have to find or write an app to do the translation. PureData would probably work well. Source: over 2 years ago
