Pure Data

Pure Data (Pd) is an open-source visual programming environment designed for creating and manipulating sound, music, and multimedia. It allows users to build complex audio and visual setups by connecting graphical objects that represent sound generators, effects, and controllers. Think of it as a digital "circuit board" where you wire together different modules to produce and process audio and visuals in real-time. Used by artists, researchers, and musicians, Pure Data offers flexible, creative control over multimedia experiments without requiring traditional programming code, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced users.
