0:00 background and context within electronic music history
9:52 workflow considerations for patch and abstraction development
11:45 random modulator abstraction (bmod and bmod~)
13:37 filter bank abstraction (fbank and fbank~) and lecture1.pd patch
22:11 control laws
25:40 pitch shifters
28:13 pitch shifter abstraction (pitchshift~)
30:55 another pitch shifter abstraction (pitchshift3~)
38:01 delay patch
40:18 lecture2.pd patch
46:35 summary
Thanks to Rick Snow for inviting me to do this. This covers some background information about what I think PD's advantages are and how it can be best used, tips for developing and using abstractions, and two example patches. I tried to throw in a lot of technical and historical information.
Links to music mentioned in this video:
Salvatore Martirano: youtube.com/watch?v=lcDpZ6RJb3I
François Bayle: youtube.com/watch?v=lYSEtGhHLyw
The filter banks at 17:58 are the Albiswerk 502/72 (top, for low and high frequencies) and 502/74 (bottom, for mid-range frequencies)
The pitch shifter at 25:54 is the Publison DHM 89 B 2
