Pd-extended (Pure Data, by Miller Puckette) is a real-time audio synthesis/processing package. It is one of the "MUSIC N" family members, open source (BSD style) successor of the MAX branch. This package contains the core of Pd and many external objects. Since this version the programs binaries name is pdextended, in order to start Pd-extended you have to call it with this name. Pd-extended is usually based on an older version of Pd. Since version 0.42.5 Pd-extended doesn't conflict any more with Pd. You find an example for $HOME/.pdextended in /usr/doc/Pd--extended/example.pdextended which should work out of the box on most machines and will enable most of the external libraries in pd. It requires dssi, gsl, imlib2, jack-audio-connection-kit, ladspa_sdk, lame, liblo, libquicktime and speex at compile time.
