Hi guys... im quite new to PD (but have used Max before) and im embarking on a project for uni...

Part of it involves using Algorithmic composition techniques... only problem is: I havent done any before AND im really bad at maths

Its ok for me lean on other peoples projects / abstractions as long as I reference them... but of course id like to understand and make my own as well...

Any tips for a newcomer?

BTW im using Vanilla and RJ Lib - the final patch will end up in an iOS app..

Thanks

Carl.

you could take a look at http://patchwerk.rumblesan.com/ the radio seems to be down at the moment, but you can download (and dissect and learn from) the patches.

thanks a lot mnb.. ill check it out

There seems to be an abstractions in all those patches [patchComs] that isn't included in the zip file and Pd can't create it. Any idea?

patchcoms is available from the site (in misc), but you can simply repace it with dac~ (it is just a stereo-out and fade in/out for the radio server)
