Seems like I suddenly fell once again down the Puredata rabbithole, except this time I almost understand what I’m doing.

I wanted to use my Zynthian as a sample player for finger drumming. The easiest way was with a custom soundfont, but it sounded awfully boring, so I thought, why not give a try to the Pd special layer?

And here I am, messing with one of the ugliest software ever made, slowly discovering that its sheer brutalism also makes it insanely powerful.

@ice I am not particularily experienced with puredata but I found it was really easy to integrate into a game with libpd. It definitely excels if you focus it on audio, and leave the control flow in a general purpose lang (I was using zig)

@louispearson It's something I'd find quite interesting for some of my game projects but I clearly lack the skills to attempt this.

@ice if you are using something like SDL2 it is actually pretty east. Higher level frameworks might be harder to work with
