pmpd should be in pure:dyne, if it's not yet, then it will ;) What is in p:d though is msd (package pd-msd) which is the next-gen pmpd, sort of. In a nuttshell, in pmpd your patch *is* your model, so it's very good for education purposes, and learning basics of physical modeling. With msd, you only deal with a main object to which you pass different messages to describe the structure and properties of your model. The obvious advantage is that you can describe complex models that would be very hard to patch in pmpd or reach limitations of the external. The drawback is that you need to know what you're doing :) PS: none of them are part of Gem, they just "spit" numbers so you can hook that to Gem easily, and indeed Gem is often used to illustrate the externals. > > > > Best wishes, > > > > Jb > > --- > [email protected] > irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne --- [email protected] irc.goto10.org #pure:dyne
