Pd is not commercial software; i.e., it was not<br \/>\ndeveloped by a corporation and is not for sale. Instead, it is \u201copen<br \/>\nsource\u201d: its source code is not the (patented) property of a corporation,<br \/>\nbut is rather freely available to all. One drawback to this is that<br \/>\na detailed operating manual for users who lack programming<br \/>\nexperience has not existed until now. In contrast to a corporation\u2014<br \/>\nwhich has a monetary interest in ensuring that first-time users can<br \/>\neasily operate new software\u2014the open source movement lacks such a<br \/>\ndriving force to make itself accessible. This book is an attempt to fill<br \/>\nthat gap.<\/p>\n<p>Loadbang is designed for self-study, principally for composers.<br \/>\nIt begins with explanations of basic programming and acoustic<br \/>\nprinciples then gradually builds up to the most advanced<br \/>\nelectronic music processing techniques. The book\u2019s teaching approach<br \/>\nis focused primarily on hearing, which we consider a faster and<br \/>\nmore enjoyable way to absorb new concepts than through abstract<br \/>\nformulas.<\/p>\n<p>The patches described are available for download.<\/p>\n<p>2nd revised edition<br \/>\n280 p., Pb., \u20ac 29.\u2013, 978-3-95593-055-4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The book can be bought at <a href=\"wolke@wolke-verlag.de\">http:\/\/www.wolke-verlag.de\/loadbang.html<\/a>; if it&#8217;s a problem for english speakers to navigate through the website, you can just write an email order (in english) to wolke@wolke-verlag.de.<br \/>\nSoon it will also be available again at Amazon et al., but this takes an unknown time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am happy to announce that the 2nd (revised) edition of my book &#8222;Loadbang.
