Hello all,

Have been messing about with Pd off and on for a little bit. Actually, haven't recently been using it, but I know it will make it's cycle again.

Last time I delved into it I grasped much more than any time before, and to learn I decided to make a drum machine.

Somewhere I had seen a tip along the lines of "If you don't have a clear goal in mind, you can get lost in all the options within Pd". That's the main reason I decided to focus on a single goal and learn how to get there.

I should point out a few things:
-The sound generation leaves a LOT to be desired, that wasn't my focus, although hopefully I will someday improve this part (or you could drop AFs Simple Drums in there...great HH generator!).
-I'm most proud of the step sequencer. I'm open to critiques about it, and it could probably be done more neatly, but as my first true patch I'm quite happy with it.
-It won't live up to it's name at this point (Pd808), but I think that's a funny pun!
-I'm posting this to share it, as well as archive it.
-I can't remember if I used any specific Extended objects, but that's what I run with, so it's highly possible.

Thanks for all the information I came across on here! Enjoy.
