Lectures: Pd

1. First, we need to do a few things to set up your environment for using Pd and doing our labs.
   • Create a 250a Driectory
     • From a terminal window type:

       [~] mdkdir music250a

   • Set up your Pd environment
     • Save the file .pdsettings into your home direcotry. On the CCRMA network, the easiest way to install the file is to type

       [~] cp /usr/ccrma/web/html/courses/250a/lectures/pd/.pdsettings ~

   • Save the lecture (a series of Pd patches) in your 250a directory: pd_lecture.tar.gz
   • Extract the notes:

      [~] cd ~/250a
      [250a]  tar zxf pd_lecture.tar.gz

2. From the Pd window, use File -> Open to read and try the patches from the lecture notes.
3. Look through the Pd Examples from the 'Help' Menu.
