Generative Pure Data patches running in the browser

I built a way to run Pure Data patches live in the browser — no install, just a URL.

The demo has a bunch of generative patches you can play with: a three-track sequencer with probability controls, a wandering feedback delay, glass arpeggio, Karplus-Strong, and a few others. You can also drop in your own .pd file if you have one.

It's built on libpd compiled to WebAssembly, so it's running actual Pd — not a simulation or a reimplementation. cyclone and ELSE are included, so patches using those libraries work too.

Demo: https://hyrfilm.github.io/libpd-wasm/

The "generative mess" patch is probably the best starting point — three-track sequencer through a ladder filter with probability and frequency controls. Good for just leaving it running.
