Using Pd

Having never used Pure Data before, I found the tutorial very useful. Unlike other music software programs such as Logic or Cubase, Pure Data is a visual programming language. It works only with data; numbers and symbols (letters).
In order to use Pure Data you need to understand the data flow programming language. Pd is limited to four types of text entities; messages, objects, atoms, and comments.
In Pd; data can be loaded from file, read in from MIDI, or generated, and is then stored in tables which can be read back, used as audio signals or control data.
Pd is a very advanced program which I hope to learn in more detail as I progress through our projects.
