[PD] a simple example to get me started/newbie

[Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu]

Often example patches have a global volume control, near a box named
"output". It's a level in dB (100 dB is full volume in PD most of the
times).

It does help a lot if you know what the patch does. If you are trying to
hear an oscillator at 0 Hz turning the output to 100 dB doen't help.

It's better if you pick a specific patch, try to understand what it does
and come back here with a particular problem, so that people can help
you better.

HTH,
