[PD] Pd standalone instruments ...

[Andre Schmidt]

ok,

i made a proof of concept (or what ever)

download this: http://osku.de/pd/foo/pokesdown.tar.gz
extract it and run the pokesdown.sh in it,
ready. you should now hear the coolest pd tune ever :)

should look something like this: http://osku.de/pd/foo/pokesdown.png

yeah, works propably only on ubuntu dapper...

ps. remember the kiosk bug, pd is still running after you close the
window!
