Re: [xl7] circuit bending a CS

They're essentially the same, and if your mind is already wired to understand the mechanics of programing subtractive, additive, and FM synthesis it's pretty easy to learn.
My own experience is that when you move to that kind of software, the control/command structures expand greatly, but nobody wants to tweak little bits of the math in the FFT section of the PD audio realm (at least I certainly don't).
So- my use is more on the control side, which means I need a very capable sound-renderer, which is why I'm on this list :)

Re visuals, PD isn't well suited for anything beyond "basics"- I've created art installations in Max/MSP and then redid them in PD because I thought it would be "cleaner", but it's not. Every kind of visual programming environment like that seems to suffer from a "difficulty of recursion problem", and Jitter (companion to Max/MSP is very capable) (but Mac-only)- by comparison the PD visual packages (Framestein and GEM) are immature.

anyone running a CS with MAX/MSP? that would be kinda sick


For algorithmic or generational stuff I run everything with Max/MSP, or Puredata depending on my mood/OS.
For live interaction, no.
