A simple (Python|Scheme) Interface to Pure Data
1. Prerequisites
To use ->pd you need Pure Data and Python:
$ sudo aptitude install puredata
$ sudo aptitude install python
2. Installation
Download the latest ->pd version at github.com:
$ git clone git://github.com/automata/topd.git
$ cd topd
3. Using
Run Pure Data:
$ pd receive.pd &
Run your Python interpreter:
$ python
Import ->pd:
>>> from topd import *
Create a "virtual" patch (a connection to receive.pd patch):
>>> p = Patch('receive.pd', 'localhost', 4242)
Create some PD objects:
>>> osc = Object(p, 'osc~ 440')
You can optionally specify x, y position of the object in the patch:
>>> dac = Object(p, 'dac~', 100, 200)
Connect them (note the use of inlets/outlets numbers):
>>> osc.connect(0, dac, 0)
>>> osc.connect(0, dac, 1)
Turn on the DSP:
>>> p.dsp(True)
Disconnect them:
>>> osc.disconnect(0, dac, 0)
>>> osc.disconnect(0, dac, 1)
Delete them:
>>> osc.delete()
>>> dac.delete()
Hack free and enjoy!
