OK I've got netpd working on my computer after fiddling around for a long time with libraries, externals etc (I'm sure most people on here find this easy but it gives me a headache). The instruments in there are great and very enjoyable to play with. MIDI input is possible through 'pcr-30'. I haven't worked out how midi or osc could be sent out to external instruments...
I'll try to log on regularly around 11pm or 12pm European time if anyone wants to see if the networking works - and maybe make some interesting sounds...Online Pure Data Jams: NetPD https://www.netpd.org/ NetPD Discord https://discord.gg/RYbq43DqfX

EDIT:
Not as complicated as i made out (I had some mix-ups with older versions of netpd)
just use pd vanilla, get netpd from github, get the instruments from the netpd instruments github page. put the necessary externals in pd/externals.... that's it!
.........................edited to bring up to date.......................
just to make it a bit easier for anyone new trying to set up netpd -
use pd vanilla
you will need to add the following externals (you can use help/find externals to install the quickly - use whatever the lastest version on the list is)
binfile
else
iemnet
iemlib
osc
slip
zexyonce netpd starts up using main.pd follow the instructions on the site and explore all the instruments (start with a mixer mx and a master object to be able to sync and hear everything)

@EEight not a C -> Pd guru, but I have written a few externals. A Ninjam Pd external sounds fun. I have never used Ninjam before, I only recently heard about it. I could take a look at the code and see if it's possible for me to port it to a Pd external... I do have some time, but not much.
-
@alexandros Same as you, not a lot of time, but I did one or 2 externals in the past. Will start a new thread.

If you want to stream audio within netpd there is a utility called 'evil' (live-evil? who knows?) https://www.netpd.org/Evil

anybody know if i should be enabling port forwarding on the router? i don't see any other clients on netpd and i wondered if they were there and i was not properly connected... either that or there's nothing happening at all there!

thinking of scheduling a time for jamming/experimenting - for those in europe how about 23h00 (GMT+2) on a Monday?
----edit----
the main meet-up time scheduled at the moment is Thursday 10pm CEST (that's GMT+2)

@beem said:

you will need to add the following externals and the paths to their folders added in the search path preferences (you can use help/find externals to install the quickly - use whatever the lastest version on the list is)
binfile
ggee
iemnet
iemlib
readdir

zexyyou will also need to put this in the startup flags box in preferences -
-lib zexy -lib iemlibonce netpd starts up without spewing out errors in the console then follow the instructions on the site and explore all the instruments (start with a mixer and a master object to be able to sync and hear everything)
^ those instructions are still working with https://www.netpd.org/~roman/netpd-plus-instruments.zip?
will try tonight and report back. -
@EEight No need for all that!

@beem Now you can just drop netpd into documents/pd or wherever and it should be 'plug and play'-ish...

@beem I have:
slipdec 65536 ... couldn't create slipenc 65536 ... couldn't create binfile ... couldn't create
I think it's all mrpeach, I have installed it using deken, but still not luck. I can edit the object to add [mrpeach/...] but will try to find a better solution later.

@EEight no it's 'slip'
sorryOnline Pure Data Jams: NetPD https://www.netpd.org/ NetPD Discord https://discord.gg/RYbq43DqfX

@beem I was being too hasty - there are still a few externals
check the readme

Interesting, but I did not try it yet. Is it in comparison to jamtaba that the patch / tempo / settings are shared and not the audio?
-
@Jona It is a collection of pd instruments, sequencers and effects that are synchronised/mirrored across the remote machines. It is possible to stream live audio within it as well with the 'evil' instrument.

@beem thanks. now i am curious about the "evil" instrument
-
a few people who have joined Netpd sessions have asked about how to adapt their patches to work within the system...
according to the git page:- Create your own instrument by typing '/new mysupersynth' into
unpatch's symbol box. A new instrument named 'mysupersynth'
shows up in unpatch's instrument list. Edit mysupersynth.pd and
save it. You might want to check existing instruments to get an
idea of how to cook your own instrument. There will be section
about this topic on http://www.netpd.org/docs .
NOTE: instruments belong to netpd/instruments, their abstractions to
netpd/instruments/abs.
