plugdata

Graphomania of admin PureDude Dreamer – who stay behind Pg development and creates about half of the content (most of it is just a rant) on only Plugdata support channel on Discord — and his thinking that when Plugdata is free, you have to look at him as a breadwinner — made Plugdata only support channel very unfortunate. Same as Porres is doing in PureData.

It became a private room where a small local gang is jerking each other off.

I got blocked when I pointed it out And I was polite - while they were literaly harassing guy commenting before me.. If I were to rely on Plugdata, I would be in trouble.

TLDR: An environment where the main contributors (80%)—some of them apparently neurotic—of only support and discussion channel are also admins and related to development, can't work.

Derived Drive.
(same nick on Discord)

PS: Unlike PureDudes, we pay for software and refuse to lick someone boots just because they provide free soft.

PPS: I gave 5 stars because I may be biased.
In my eyes it deserves less than 1 star (such software should even be forbidden to operate), it is an apartheid-like environment, refusing to explore new horizons in algorithms and coding in music.

If AIs take over in music, these subjugating/submission-forcing PureDudes (like Porres, Dreamer) should be blamed first.

Shame of music production.

The full power of Pure Data (Pd) concentrated in a DAW plugin on ant platform. (https://puredata.info)

Create or import any simple of ultra complex DSP Synths or Effects.

Amazing tool for performance / experimentation / education / patch design purposes.

BUT it requires a deep DSP/Maths knowledge as you will manipulate atomic objects and program their behaviour.

Give it a try.

There is also another project which allows to distribute your Pd Patches for execution only, packed as DAW plugins : https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile. Check the plugins made here : https://patchstorage.com/platform/camomile/
