What is Pd-extended?
Pd-extended has two main goals: provide a standard collection of libraries and distribute core modifications to Pd itself. Providing a package that includes many libraries no only means that they are easy to use. More importantly, it means that you can make a patch that uses those libraries, and expect them to be installed on any computer with the same version of Pd-extended. In terms of modifications to the core, Pd-extended aims to feel like a native app on GNOME GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. It also includes a number of community-added features like experimental string support and a visual design meant to improve readability.
