hello i'm new here and this is my first post.

i love this softsynth

do you think this can be recreated in PD. i know filter,oscillators are diffcult etc. but sound is not the point i want the diversity.

thanks

the audio DSP you could do no problem. but the gui would be tricky, to say the least.

the gui doesn't matter !
knobs for the values are good enough !

the big problem is, that i'm a totaly newbe in PD. i make some noise with max for live and read the big book but that doesn't help in he beginnig much. i can write code in basic so i think this helps a little. if somebody can do a tutorial would be nice. else, any help is welcome !

cheers

i think that it would be a huge undertaking for someone unfamiliar with pd to take on this project. it would be advisable to start at the beginning and learn more about dsp in pd.

this is a good start:

thank you.

i know this tuto's. they are very good and i'm on lesson 33 right now !

i've a macintosh pc and after starting PD in the console are some rror messages saying that X11 is not loaded or so. (i'm not on my computer now). what could this mean ?

It means you don't have X11 installed. I think it's only needed for the graphics libraries. Recent versions of OSX come with a version of X11 on the install disc. Otherwise, you can get the most recent version here:
