Programming in Pure Data or Max/MSP may seem lame and you may ask “Why should I even try this?” The answer is: understanding how to program even simple devices inside PD or Max will enhance your knowledge of basic signal flow as well as the principles of digital audio.

Johannes Kriedler has launched a new site that’s home for his free textbook Loadbang: Programming Electronic Music in Pure Data.

The site/textbook also contains a lot of different patches for you to download and tear apart, making it even easier to learn how to program in PD.

Oh, did I mention that Pure Data is free?
