Pd Description

Pd is a free real-time computer music software package resembling Max. Pd stands for 'PureData' and is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio and graphical processing.It resembles the Max/MSP system but is much simpler and more portable; also Pd has two features not (yet) showing up in Max/MSP: first, via Mark Dank's GEM package, Pd can be used for simultaneous computer animation and computer audio. Second, an experimental facility is provided for defining and accessing data structures.Requirements:· C compiler· X windows (including the X development package for Pd to link against)· TKInstallingFrom RPMOpen a "shell" window, cd to the directory containing the file, and type the command, rpm -i pd-0.XX.i386.rpm(substituting the real file name.) Then you should be able to type "pd" to a shell and watch the Pd main window appear.From SourcesOpen a "shell" window, cd to the directory containing the file, and type the command,tar xzf pd-linux-033.tar.gzwhich creates a directory named "pd". I do this from my home directory. Next, compile t. "CD" to pd and read the INSTALL.txt, or else just cd to "pd/src" and type ./configure make depend make You can pass flags to "configure" to customize your compilation: To enable debugging (and losing code optimization) add "--enable-debug". To use Portaudio version 19 (experimental), add "--enable-portaudio". To put Pd in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin, add "--prefix=/bin".Alsa and Jack support should auto-configure, but "--enable-alsa" od "--enable-jack" ill force their inclusion. After "make", just type "~/pd/bin/pd" to run pd. Alternatively, as superuser, you can run "make install" after "make depend" and then anyone on your system can just type "pd" to run it.What's New in This Release:· add support for callback-based audio I/O· headers & code changed to use t_float or t_sample instead of float
