[Marco Donnarumma]

Hi all,
ok, i guess that



> @Luigi / list:

> let's say... for ex. i wouldn't like to write about how to do a video mixer
> in pd. Many people are working on manuals, doing an excellent work.
> My idea is:
>
> 1_ To show to a broad audience what Pd is capable to do with *audio/video
> processing *and/or* physical computing* in the *live video - live media*enviroment.
> This doesn't mean that the example should be hyper-basic, neither
> hyper-complex.
> The target of this "action" on CDM is the audience who already patch
> something, somehow. I want to show that there is no need to buy ableton+the
> newest max to do suggestive* audiovideo processing*, or *sound-reactive
> video*, or *video-reactive sounds *but instead you can use Pd and be
> really happy with it.
>
> I keep on noticing that many people has the stereotype of Pd as a rough
> software, which can build nice stuff, but with incredible and unhuman
> efforts, having the screen fullfilled of chords building strange shapes.
> This is scary for most of them.
> We know that one can use Pd this way, but on the other hand one can build
> wonderful (easthetically and practically) patches.
> i saw through this list amazing pieces, even little utilities... i remember
> a monome sequencer which was a jewel also because of its great interface,
> and another patch which was creating fluid movements of semi-transparent -
> multicolor circles.
>
> The examples i would like to collect don't have to be absolutely innovative
> (if they are then,.. great!) but also simple utilities which fit in the
> description above.
> Naturally all the example i will write about will be linked to their
> author.
>
> 2_On the other side i would like to open a window on the Pd community,
> reporting the most important announcements: from a new release, the
> publication of a book, a call for the next conference and so on...
> highlighting the activity of the community.
>
>
> @Jose: that sounds great, but i think there is a lot to say about that,
> isn't it?
> Maybe it's something to be divided in episodes?
