>Pd was initiated by American software engineer 
>Miller Puckette, who previous co-developed the 
>well known and similarly structured software 
>Max/Msp. Pd is not commercial software; i.e., it 
>was not developed by a corporation and is not 
>for sale. Instead, it is ³open source²: its 
>source code is not the (patented) property of a 
>corporation, but is rather freely available to 
>all. One drawback to this is that a detailed 
>operating manual for users who lack programming 
>experience has not existed until now. In 
>contrast to a corporation ‹ which has a monetary 
>interest in ensuring that first-time users can 
>easily operate new software ‹ the open source 
>movement lacks such a driving force to make 
>itself accessible. This book is an attempt to 
>fill that gap.
>
>This tutorial is designed for self-study, 
>principally for composers. It begins with 
>explanations of basic programming and acoustic 
>principles then gradually builds up to the most 
>advanced electronic music processing techniques. 
>The book¹s teaching approach is focused 
>primarily on hearing, which we consider a faster 
>and more enjoyable way to absorb new concepts 
>than through abstract formulas.
>
>The patches described are available for download.
