The research on paradigms in audio and music programming is an ongoing endeavor. However, although new audio programming paradigms have been created, already established paradigms did prevail and dominate major music production systems. Our research aims at the question, how programming paradigms and music production interacts. We describe the implementation process of an imperative algorithm calculating the greatest common divisor (gcd) in Pure Data and exemplify common problems of transformational processes between an imperative paradigm and a patch-paradigm. Having a closer look at related problems in research on programming paradigms in general, we raise the question of how constraints and boundaries of paradigms play a role in the design process of a program. With the deliberation on selected papers within the context of computer science, we give insight into different views of how the process of programming can be thought and how certain domains of application demand a specific paradigm.
