From PureData to audio plugins
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to embed the code they have developed in PureData as part of their production chain. Via Camomile, a special package that converts the code written in PureData, they will be able to generate plugins compatible with the main professional standards. They will know how the code designed in PureData can become for instance a VST that can be integrated in a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
Public

Program
Through the understanding of sound processing and sound synthesis algorithms, participants will learn how to develop patches in PureData which allow to explore and design personal production tools.
Students attending the course will be accompanied throughout the program; from learning the basics of digital signal-processing in PureData to acquiring better knowledge on the PureData language to the integration of their code pieces into audio production software as plugins.
