Here's a picture of the PD patch I used to stream directly to the electro-music streaming server.

I want to make a new washing machine out of two computers, a controller, a guitar input, at least one of three microphones, and the interesting part: a 3-axis accelerometer with a USB interface. I plan to play the guitar and talk or sing, plus have a friend with me who also talks or sings. The friend will hold the accelerometer and wave it around, creating some interesting effects within the washing machine.

Basically my question is: what on earth can I control with the accelerometer? It should be something expressive and dynamic, plus be instantly obvious rather than have latency. I'm thinking of putting a pitch shifter on the output with a delay feedback loop and controlling the pitch and delay via two of the accelerometer axes (x and y), but there are lots of other possibilities.

What would you do with an accelerometer as a control input to a washing machine?

As posted in the Pure Data website, "the pd-extended installers and packages include most of the libraries from the Pd CVS repository. These are generally the most complete assembly of all available libraries, extensions, and documentation. They are built to be easy to install."

So, you should find it in the extended version of Pd.
