To Pd announce:
A very preliminary version (0.1) of a VST3 plugin named PureVST is
available on msp.ucsd.edu/tools/purevst . As the name suggests, it runs
Pd within a VST host such as your favorite DAW.
I'm releasing it, so far, as source code and as a packaged VST3 plug-in
for MacOS (Apple silicon) . It compiles fine for linux and (I think)
for MacOS/Intel - somebody brave might want to see if it can work on
Microsoft Windows too :)
I'm sure there will be plenty of problems/questions/comments. Perhaps
for now it's appropriate to write these to the Pd mailing list, although
it might someday be worth setting up a different forum for that.
cheers
Miller

Hi,
planifolia, library of vanilla abstractions, was updated today (v.0.32) and
is already in decken.
There are both bug fixes ([any.==], specially) and new tools (osc
ready-to-use abstractions, list manipulation functions, [symbol.v], etc).
The idea of planifolia is to have a good amount of vanilla
dependence/compilation free tools to make it easier to bring patches to
different PD-based systems.

Hi all,
The University of Illinois is hosting a special PdCon - the PdMaxCon - to celebrate Pd’s 30th and Max’s 40th year anniversaries.
This is a save-the-date email: September 5-7, 2025, at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
This is the page that will be updated with more information as it becomes available: https://music.illinois.edu/pd-max-con/
We already have Miller and David Zicarelli lined up as our keynote speakers.
This will be double-blind, peer-reviewed. So I am also looking for volunteers to review submissions. Please drop me an email at kerry(a)illinois.edu with your preferred email, and what you feel you can review competently (e.g., research? Music? Workshops? Demos? Installations? Topics? Pd or Max or both? Etc.)
You can be both a reviewer and a submitter.
Registration will be free, but we have no money to offer travel or accommodation support.
Regards,
Kerry

Hey all
I just released another version of my pet project netpd. While not so
much has changed in netpd itself, this is the first release available
as AppImage for Linux. There are also apps for Windows and macOS (code-
signed and notarized). Those are meant to be user-friendly for people
not familiar with Pd. netpd still runs (and will forever) with regular
Pd and some externals.
Feedback is welcome!
There is a small, but committed user base regularly using netpd and
having jam sessions. While not flawless, netpd has matured in recent
years and might interest people that like creating electronic music (of
any kind). A handful of new instruments have been developed which are
hosted separately and thus not always mentioned in the netpd release
notes, but it's probably those that create the fun. Let me just mention
a few of the more recent ones:
untik - new versatile clock system supporting time patterns with
irregular intervals and polyrhythms
metaseq - a meta sequencer that slices timelines and re-arranges them
elorg - an organ emulation
mmmarimba - a marimba based on Mike Moser-Booth's marimba patch
filtlib - filter effect library
mx - added support for nesting effects in other effects
Of course, netpd users might develop their own instruments and use them
with their peers. A handful of such instruments is in circulation. The
documentation of the topic has recently been updated (see links below).
Download:
https://netpd.org/download/
Release notes:
https://github.com/reduzent/netpd/releases/tag/v2.3.5
Listen to netpd artefacts (sound made fully in Pd):
https://netpd.org/listen/
Write your own instruments:
https://netpd.org/docs/instrument-creation/
So.. I guess that's enough of shameless self-advertisement...
Enjoy!

hi list,
[hidraw] version 0.2.0 was released and the new features are:
- add optional 3th outlet via creation arg "-info" that outputs devices
listing as a Pd list
- add methods "open-path" and "list-vidpid"
- update hidapi submodule
the motivation for the update was that is was very hard to open 2 (or
more) same devices (same as in: same manufacturer/model). with this
version one can query devices and store them on a [text], do some logic
and finally open devices via "open-path"
it's up on Deken for Windows(i386 amd64), Linux(i386 amd64 arm arm64)
and macOS(amd64 arm64)
