Hi all, as a long time lurker on this board I've picked up some great hints 'n' tips on how to use Pure Data, so I thought it was time to share something with ya!

This is my first 'proper' patch, in that I mean it's the first patch I've wrote that I've actually used to make some music with!

It took me a good few months to get it working properly, but it was initially inspired by a bout of Keith Fullerton Whitman worship, in particular the 'Playthroughs' album!

I play the patch with my Yamaha EZ-AG connected to a Dell Windows XP laptop running through the YEZge program to filter out unwanted MIDI messages.

I wrote it all using plain old vanilla Pure Data so it should hopefully work everywhere.

There are no instructions included but you should hopefully be able to figure it out. You can trigger the 'strings' using the QWERTY keys.

Let me know what you all think, good or bad, suggestions for improvement, etc.

Cheers,

Steve

Currently unable to hear the audio (my problem here), but just to say nice patching and presentation Steve. Thanks for sharing the patch, I look forward to hearing it when my audio is back on.

Hey, very interesting patch here! Thanks for sharing, Steve!!

Yes, I had to figure out something before getting sounds out of it. In particular the "level" and "thru" sliders values (Maybe you could initialize them to some initial value.) and the conflicting channels~ subpatch (with the LyonPoutpourry patch). Levels I got are very small at the end, so I needed to pump it up a bit. I also got few interesting results by playing a bit with phasor~ instead of osc~ as primary source of sound.
Very good patch presentation indeed...
Just a word: it's a quite complex patch and for sure you put big effort in making it, so don't underestimate
the importance of documentation. Often jewels just "slide away" because of that

Cheers,
