Hello List -<div>I gave a workshop on using Pd at this year's Megapolis Audio Festival in Baltimore, MD. I created a patch that was meant to be used as a launch-pad to get people patching as quickly as possible. This is my first attempt at doing something like this, but I would really like to further the idea of creating self-contained introductory patches that get people excited about Pd. I think that this could be a great tool for one-day workshops in schools or at conferences where people have the interest in, but not necessarily the background in sound and/or programming. My idea with this patch was to have some examples of different ways to make sound, an easily accessible reference chart, and then a sub-patch containing a whole bunch of ready-made objects for people to copy/paste and string together. The hope was that eventually people would break down the objects I created in order to figure out their inner workings. Some of that started to happen at Megapolis but the workshop was fairly short and we had covered a lot of material. </div>
<div>Feedback on the patch as well as ideas on this type of workshop would be greatly appreciated!</div><div>Pat</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://megapolisfestival.org/">http://megapolisfestival.org/</a><br clear="all">
