[PD] MOD Trackers (was Pd to CV for a Moog) (OT)

[Kyle Klipowicz]

It's pretty awesome that so many of us grew up using MOD trackers as
our first (or early) computer music environments.  If I were a strict
empiricist with no knowledge of logical proof, I'd boldly say that MOD
tracker => Pd.  But, alas, so many of my heyday tracking crew
haven't yet taken the plunge, no matter how often I try to market for Pd.
