<p>Thanks Roman and zmoelnig,</p>
<p>I was getting ahead of myself. Plus, my expectations were w-a-y
too high. I expected to be able to install the whole thing, a
current and desirable version of pure data with everything I'd
need.</p>
<p>Now that I know that is not, and will never be the case, I'll be
pleased to sift thru those links from 2011 to find the good stuff.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one has assembled a package of all the things
you'd need, libraries, GEM, everything in one single .zip file.</p>
<p>And instrux on what to do.</p>
<p>The user base is very broad, with thousands of people approaching
it for different reasons, and my tiny niche application is tough
to track down.</p>
<p>Or I haven't dived deep enough to find it.</p>
<p>Thanks again.<br>
</p>
<p>H<br>

I made a very simple .pd, and no sound comes out.
What am I missing?

It looks like you are looking for [osc~]. It expects a frequency and
outputs sine wave with given frequency as audio signal. This signal
sent to [dac~] will actually create an audible sound.
Be also careful not to confuse message boxes and object boxes. [sin~(
is a message box and just sends a message 'sin~' when it receives
something.
Also, [440] simply holds the number '440'. For this object to output
anything at all, you'd have to send a 'bang' message to it. Probably
the simpler approach would be to write '440' into a message box, since
message boxes can clicked and they output their content when clicked.
So, something like this would generate sound:
[440(
|
[osc~]
|
[dac~]
and make sure to click [440( with the mouse, once you patched this.
Alternatively, you could simple do this, since [osc~] takes an
argument:
[osc~ 440]
|
[dac~ ]
NOTE: Be careful with volume, when you connect sound generators to
[dac~] directly.
