I am ccing the list to open it up to others and put it in the archive. I should make a FAQ for this question I suppose...

Basically, I am encouraging people to first try distributing their library as a standalone libdir. Pd-extended now makes its a lot easier to install and use libdirs. Then you can work out the distribution and development issues on your own schedule instead of having to work around the Pd-extended release cycle. Once things are stable and not changing much any more, then it makes more sense to included in Pd-extended.

To include a library, first you need SVN access, then you need to check it into SVN in the 'externals' section, then you need to add it to the Pd-extended build system. There is a lot of developer documentation that you should check out. Links below:

I guess the question was what do I have to do to include Abunch in the pd-extended distribution. Do I have to upload it somewhere? the link that you gave me doesn't give me an answer or am I missing something? Hans At 20:46 18/05/2009, you wrote:

If you put all that in a folder with the same name, then drop that folder into the user externals location, it should work like a regular library:

Its best to continue this discussion on the list so that its archived, etc.

Hi,

That would be a nice idea! I've made a meta file (in attach).

Hans, could you tell me what else I have to do?

best, Hans

Hi,

do you want to join this with pd-ext? it would be the best way to make sure it gets around. if you want, just contact hc-steiner, and he'll tell you how to do it (it's quite simple).

Hello,

Here is my release of Abunch, a collection of 50 abstractions for Pd vanilla. I started developing these patches for the different courses that I teach (for performers, for composers, for students, for teenagers,...). It is conceived as an easy introduction to computer music. After a while I started adding more advanced features because I also started using it myself, not just for teaching but for performing and composing.

I guess most people on this list are Pd-users, so the explanation about Abunch is rather simple: -all controle data are normalized within the range of 0 - 127 -give an unique number to every abunch abstraction as an argument. So if you want to create two phasers: [phaser 1] and [phaser 2] -you can save presets by creating the object 'presets' and giving it one symbol as an argument, like [presets phaserpresets]

Every abunch object has a help file. You need to have a Pd version 0.40 or higher.

The fastest way to get to know Abunch is to have a look at the example files. There are about 30 of them, they are in the abunch folder and start with 'ex' (like 'ex1a-play.pd').

You can download Abunch (and find more information) on this site: http://home.versateladsl.be/hanstine/hans/abunch-eng.htm

Voor de Nederlandstaligen: je kan ook een Nederlandstalige versie downloaden (met help files en uitleg in het Nederlands): http://home.versateladsl.be/hanstine/hans/abunch-ned.htm

Abunch was realized with the support of the University College of Ghent (Faculty of Music and Drama)(Belgium).

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it. - Thomas Jefferson
