[PD] Berlin workshop--17th March: Oscillation Overthruster--Pure Data (PD) Synthesis, Feedback and Noise

[Derek Holzer]

I'm working on them this week. I have a monster self-modulator using 
LADPSAs and [plugin~] which appears to be Linux-only now, so I'll take 
it apart a bit and use more universal (but not anti-aliased) 
oscillators, filters, send~/receive~, etc etc. Since there's only a day 
to do the workshop, I'm aiming for immediate results. So what will 
probably happen is that I'll have some ready-made abstractions. Those 
that are into it can dive into their structures, and those that are 
scared can (hopefully) just start patching. I'll post examples later, 
probably after the workshop. Flights to Berlin are still cheap, you 
know.... ;-)
