Hi
This is quite along post but I thought the background was needed for
it to make sense.
Background
I have previous programming experience however I have been using Pure
Data for several months now and am enjoying learning it. I am trying
to learn DSP for myself purely out of personal interest for the
subject. I bought a book on DSP and became hooked after reading it. :)
From that point I have relearnt all the A-level maths I studied over
10 years ago and a few bits of physics, I have gone the the whole of
Millers book on Pure Data and whilst I would be lying if I said the
whole thing made sense I can certainly understand and implement alot
of it.
I then moved on to Julius Smiths books on digital filters and
physical modelling which is where I am at the moment. And I am making
slow progress there as there is alot to assimilate in that I need to
not only be able to understand the topic related to Physics, Maths
etc. but then know how to use Matlab and C++ and Faust which is all
quite a mountain.
Long Term Aim
What I want to do eventually when things make more sense is to work
with creating my own physical models which if I am to do it in pure
data would surely need me to create externals to run the filtering
all inside one object.
System
Mac OS 10.4.11 Macbook, Pure Data, Octave, Max/Msp, Xcode, Downloaded
and installed Faust but not sure how to invoke it :(
Mission
What I would like to be able to do is to take the examples I am
reading about in Julius Smiths books and create them as externals
within Pure Data so I can use them, Play with them :)
I.e. the book that I am working through 'Introduction to digital
filters' contains lots of example Matlab and C code for different
filters and also mentions Faust, then there is also flext to consider.

Q) I want to create my own Pure data objects specifically filters
starting with the examples in Julius Smiths book. What would be the
most straight forward path to take to begin with given my System,
lack of experience, aims ???? what I would like is the easiest route
to begin with :)
I.e. seem to have all these programs Octave (matlab), Faust,
Xcode ,Flext, Terminal etc.
which would be the best path to follow to learn to create my own
externals.
Tuition
If there is anyone in the Cambridge England area who does one to one
tuition and could teach me how to create my own externals please let
me know.
Guidance appreciated
Geoff
