From the maintainer
Hi, I'm Timothy Schoen.
I started working on plugdata in November 2021, while studying Music Technology at HKU Utrecht. I'm interested in Pure Data / Max, DSP, audio development, C/C++, JUCE, and improving music perception for the hearing impaired.
It began as a hobby project but quickly grew into something bigger, largely thanks to the amazing Pd community. I'm especially aiming to make Pd more accessible and easier to learn, with the goal of building an excellent tool for exploring creative programming.
Since plugdata is a fully free and open-source application released under the GPL-3.0 license, I rely on the generosity of sponsors to spend more time on it. If you like this project and think it's worth supporting, please consider making a donation.
If you have any questions about plugdata — or anything else — feel free to get in touch. I'll always reply.
