<div id="m_-8405641328798014846m_3930655833059182762magicdomid431"><span>We
are excited to announce the 1.0 release of Bf-Pd, a library for
spontaneous collabo</span><span>r</span><span>ation
between digital instruments. Bf-Pd is a set of abstractions for
PureData (Pd) which enables communication and cooperation
between digital instruments. Bf-Pd allows musicians to share
parameter control data between instruments on the same local
area network. In other words, Bf-Pd makes it easier to have
spontaneous jam sessions! Bf-Pd consists of a set of Pd objects
that can be easily integrated into an existing or new
instrument, and it provides a “collaboration window” from which
musicians can easily view each others’ activities and share
control of instrument parameters and other musical data.</span></div>
