Just wanted to introduce myself, I am Dara Shayda writing from beautiful Toronto.

I hope to make friends here to learn Pd for algorithmic compositions.

In particular I am working on human chants and emergent phonemes.

I have already read Farnell's book and now ready to program.

Special thanx for the moderators and organizers of this place

Hi Dara,

I'm relatively new here too. But welcome. It's not super active here, but I've found it to be one of the most helpful and positive web communities I've come across. Also Pd is da [bang]!

Thanx, I was bit scared I was in the wrong place, so what is that you are working on if you do not mind.

I was using Super Collider but the documentation is inadequate and the community is not useful.

At the moment I'm making synths controlled by external devices like wiimotes, wacom tablets, etc.

great I would like to learn how to do that for both hands, I am working on synths that generate chants or chorus i.e. instead the usual electronic music, I want the (x,y) coors map into a human voice database of somekind and the listener to hear chants generated and varied as the (x,y) moves along some path.

So I can learn from u I hope.

Funny I just replied to your original post a good omen... heh heh heh

HELLO!! I am Chris, a MIDI composer. I use Pd to create original sound patches that I can use as a plug-in in my other MIDI software mainly. It is good to meet another musician!

Hello Chris and hello to everyone

Welcome and hope to see a lot of kool stuff from everyone...
