Okay :(
it was a nice dream though.
I have been thinking its probably worthwhile me downloading and
installing linux onto my macbook purely to download the CCRMA stack
of programs including PD and then working my way through Julius Smith
books and accompanying papers then hopefully I will have the right
versions/builds of everything to create physical models in PD and
will be working with the system there is most information about.

So I can actually build filters from smaller building blocks in PD,
Yes, and it's great fun and very educational
I thought that this can be done in PD as a test exercise but not if I
want to create something that will actually work fast enough to be
usable as a synthesizer. I'm glad to have been wrong!
Well, sorry if this is misleading. We are on the borderline of
right and wrong. This is where we hit Pd limitations at the lower
level of granularity. yes you can build any filter, but not
as efficient as hand coding and compiling.
This is the disparity between the wonders of Pd as a development
tool and the reality of using its output.
Develop in Pd. For a vast majority of DSP development Pd with
variable blocksize is a perfect tool if you could only work in
dataflow THEN: hit "compile"
Are there any tutorials on this any where?
Only in my dreams I'm afraid. :)
It's what I wish for. Right now the choice is
1) Flext - wipes your ass a bit, but still requires some
arcane C++ knowledge - advantage builds for Max and Pd
2) Faust - generates fast but opaque code, very flexible
platform targets, weird DSP algebra notation
3) Hand craft in C - most flexible, tedious setup of
supporting structure.
4) Andy's IDE (imaginary development environment) - pros:
perfect, cons: does not exist in reality.
