In this workshop you will learn to use Pure Data, the free open-source cross-platform system for making your own audio and music software. You will make a fully customisable looping audio system, along the way learning all of the concepts of visual programming and familiarising yourself with the basic tools that come with Pure Data to allow you to start designing your own systems.

For this workshop it would be best for you to bring along your own laptop with Pure Data installed (we'll provide instructions after registration on how to do this) and headphones. If this is a problem, we have laptops and headphones that can be borrowed.
