Hello,
Here is my release of Abunch, a collection of 50 abstractions for Pd
vanilla. I started developing these patches for the different courses
that I teach (for performers, for composers, for students, for
teenagers,...). It is conceived as an easy introduction to computer
music. After a while I started adding more advanced features because
I also started using it myself, not just for teaching but for
performing and composing.
I guess most people on this list are Pd-users, so the explanation
about Abunch is rather simple:
-all controle data are normalized within the range of 0 - 127
-give an unique number to every abunch abstraction as an argument. So
if you want to create two phasers: [phaser 1] and [phaser 2]
-you can save presets by creating the object 'presets' and giving it
one symbol as an argument, like [presets phaserpresets]
Every abunch object has a help file. You need to have a Pd version
0.40 or higher.
The fastest way to get to know Abunch is to have a look at the
example files. There are about 30 of them, they are in the abunch
folder and start with 'ex' (like 'ex1a-play.pd').
You can download Abunch (and find more information) on this site:

Voor de Nederlandstaligen: je kan ook een Nederlandstalige versie
downloaden (met help files en uitleg in het Nederlands):

Abunch was realized with the support of the University College of
Ghent (Faculty of Music and Drama)(Belgium).
