INTRODUCTION TO Pd (PURE DATA)
Hans-Christoph Steiner
Wednesdays, July 26, August 2, 9 - 6:30-9:30pm

Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time, graphical programming environment  
for integrated media processing. It is free software, and a closely  
related cousin to Cycling74's Max/MSP. It runs on Mac OS X, Windows,  
GNU/Linux, and even on iPods, PDAs, and as a web-browser plug-in.   
This introductory workshop is taught by one of the main Pd  
developers.  It will start with the basics - what is Pd, who uses it,  
how do you program with it, and what is the available functionality.  
Participants will learn about control and timing structures, basic  
GUI building, and OSC communication, and also get exposure to basic  
sampling, filtering, and synthesizing sound, as well as basic video  
manipulation. You can use your own laptop, the workshop will be  
preceded with a short installation help session. This course will  
prepare you for further work in audio, video, graphics or  
electronics.  It will be project based, so bring a project idea to  
work on.  By the end of the workshop, you should have something that  
works.
