ofxPd by Example

This is a series of examples to show you how to use ofxPd, the puredata addon for openFrameworks. The idea is that it is a quick reference for doing simple stuff with ofxPd.

What you need:

a. a mac (for now)

Sorry, for now it's mac only.

b. openFrameworks

get it here https://github.com/openframeworks/openframeworks or open a terminal and cd to where you want it and type:

git clone https://github.com/openframeworks/openFrameworks.git

c. ofxPd

get it here: https://github.com/danomatika/ofxPd or likewise git clone https://github.com/danomatika/ofxPd.git

put the ofxPd folder in the openFrameworks/addons folder with the other addons.

d. ofxPd-by-Example

Take the entire folder of the ofxPd-by-Example repository (the one this text file is in) and put it in the openFrameworks/apps folder.

Examples Walkthrough

Look at testApp.h and testApp.cpp and read the comments.

1. Sine Wave

The first example shows you how to run a patch in openframeworks to generate audio out. It does nothing special, just a sine wave.

2. Mouse Theremin

Mouse theremin is a simple example of how you can control pd by sending messages to it

3. Echo Chamber

This shows you how to get sound into pd as well as sound out - an effect.

4. Clap Trigger

This shows how openframeworks can receive messages from pd patches.
