Programming Electronic Music in Pd
Pd was initiated by American software engineer Miller Puckette, who
previous co-developed the well known and similarly structured
software Max/Msp. Pd is not commercial software; i.e., it was not
developed by a corporation and is not for sale. Instead, it is “open
source”: its source code is not the (patented) property of a corporation,
but is rather freely available to all. One drawback to this is that
a detailed operating manual for users who lack programming
experience has not existed until now. In contrast to a corporation—
which has a monetary interest in ensuring that first-time users can
easily operate new software—the open source movement lacks such a
driving force to make itself accessible. This book is an attempt to fill
that gap.
