Re: [PD] Nettiquette (was Re: Scaling values in pd)
By the way JM Jones, Check out the two posts I made with regard to scaling values in Pd. There's some very useful stuff. Also, check out http://puredata.wikispaces.com - it's a site I've made specifically for noobs :) Ed Ninja Jamm - a revolutionary new music remix app from Ninja Tune and Seeper, for iPhone and iPad http://www.ninjajamm.com/ Gemnotes-0.2: Live music notation for Pure Data, now with dynamics! http://sharktracks.co.uk/ From: Jm Jones juan...@gmail.com To: Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com Cc: Ed Kelly morph_2...@yahoo.co.uk; pd-list@iem.at pd-list@iem.at Sent: Wednesday, 4 September 2013, 5:34 Subject: Re: [PD] Nettiquette (was Re: Scaling values in pd) yeah, im a noob and i really appreciate the knowledge of this beautiful community, keep the good vibes! some really brilliant and humble people here! 2013/9/3 Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com On 09/03/2013 07:00 PM, Ed Kelly wrote: OUCH!
