In fact I'm working on a very similar project (called 'abunch') since a
year, I hope to release it in one of the following weeks. Everything is
in pd vanilla. I tried to make it as user friendly as possible, I've been
testing and using it a lot in my lessons. It contains a lot of the units
that you mentioned...<br><br>

Right now, If I want to even make a simple sine oscillator synth with an
ADSR envelope on it, it's not very easy to do out of the box. What if
there were some entry-level abstractions in a very OBVIOUS location that
people could instantly piece together some classic Unit Generators.
Important for these would be the ability to copy/paste items from a main
page of abstractions. Also, they should have a simple GUI interface, and
possibly be set up automatically to use SSAD.<br><br>
I'm thinking stuff like:<br><br>
-basic envelope generators<br>
-basic oscillators (bandlimited ones would be nice): sine, square,
triangle, sawtooth<br>
-basic i/o that is more intuitive to newbies<br>
-basic sample players (one shot, looping, pitch shifting, multi-sample a
la fluidsynth)<br>
-basic MIDI controller mapping tools (so people could just twist a knob
to assign a parameter)<br>
-basic step, piano roll, &c sequencers<br>
-basic pitch/rhythm analysis (wrappers for sigmund~, fiddle~, and
bonk~)<br>
-basic modular counters<br>
-an extensive collection of examples using these objects, documenting
parameters, as well as ways to connect and/or modify and save new
versions of objects using SSAD<br>
-video stuff would also be great, something akin to a freshened up
PixelTango.<br><br>
Anyway, I just thought these things would be really nice to have in an
accessible place in Pd-extended. Because right now whenever I just want
to make something very simple, i end up having to click a mouse about 200
times which is annoying and makes me worried about RTS! <br><br>
Pd and Pd-extended are so difficult to navigate for newbies. There need
to be more "pick up and go" audio tools. I'm thinking of how
Reaktor and Max/MSP are so easy to dive into. Pd is a lot like a cold
cold ocean whereas the other two are nice warm swimming pools. Pd is
deeper and more exciting by far, but you can get swept away in an
undertow never to return!<br><br>
This project could be accomplished by merging elements from NetPd, Pdmtl,
and various slick patches made by the resident list geniuses. (Another
thing about NetPd if Roman and Eni are listening: can you make a tar.gz
or zip download of ALL current NetPd patches? I hate having to download
30+ items one at a time. RTS fears again!)<br><br>
So there's my way more than 2 cents. Take what you will from it.<br><br>
