You can also copy this stuff from the example patches.

Indeed, but, quote, "a functional generator for DIY-ing purposes:
sine, pulse with different fillings, switches for freq/level ranges,
sliders for freqs/levels, mixing, white/pink noise, and all this under
JACK routing" to my ears sounds more like software than music. 

Regarding "doing it quickly": The closest thing I know to do stuff
like that quickly is Dave McCallum's collection of objects and the
RRADical patches by me, combined with things like LADSPA plugins and
your SC-externals. 

Nevertheless all this will stay unusable if one doesn't know the
basics of Pd which can be learned very well through the tutorial
patches and the html manual.
