Hi,

I am totally newbie in PureData.
I want to create a patch that create 2 different stereo outputs (2 pairs of speakers) for what I need 4 output channels. One of those output will be feed with a distroted microphone output. And the other one will reproduce some personalized sounds.

Will it possible to have two completely different outputs using PD by using an external 5.1 soundcard (so channels 1 and 2 for the pd distorted mic input and 3 and 4 for the other sounds)?

If so or not, could you please suggest me a cheap soundcard that help me easily with that? I will be using PD (maybe libpd) over windows. Otherwise Linux.
Thanks a lot.

Yes, with a 4 (or more) outputs soundcard you can easily do that.
Just open a [dac~ 1 2 3 4] ... for the soundcard it depends... there are plenty...
A cheap one can be the ESI Maya 44 USB+
cheers
