I’ve been trying (in vain) to teach myself the basics of PureData for the last few hours and have been hitting a bit of a roadblock.

So my question is this. Does anyone out there have any experience with these two languages that could perhaps tell me: What you use them for, what kind of patches you’ve created, or some of the basic object commands?
Should I really spend an amount of time learning PureData or should I move over to Max/MSP as soon as possible? I’ve heard they’re almost the same, but there are some that swear by one or the other.

Hoping this doesn’t head straight for the “orphans” section.
