searchpath inside patch
by Achim Bornhoeft 18 Jan '16

18 Jan '16

Is there a possibility to put a statement (relative pathname) inside a patch where to look for additional abstractions, for example to search for abstractions inside a subfolder "abs" which is in the same directory than the patch itself. Thanks for help, Achim

acid
by Chris McCormick 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Another question in a very general vein. I asked this on the Csound list a while back (when i was using csound) with good results. I'm trying to produce an acidy type sound (eg 303) and having trouble as my current saw-tooth-through-a-vcf just sounds pretty wimpy. Any ideas on how to fatten it up a bit? I'm not looking for a perfect reproduction of the 303 sound, just a nice acid sound. Hints? Tips? Is there some place where people post interesting Pd patches they've created for others to download at try out? Should there be?

window-switching on OSX?
by Damian Stewart 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

How do I switch between open windows on OSX using the keyboard? On PC I used to be able to Ctrl-Tab. The OSX equivalent of that is Apple-`, but it doesn't do anything; Apple-Tab on OSX switches applications, which doesn't help either. cheers D -- Damian Stewart +64 27 305 4107 f r e y live music with machines http://www.frey.co.nz http://www.myspace.com/freyed

Re: [PD] PD] request assistance with crackles and pops in VFOs driven, by modulating accelerometer signals
by Collin Oldham 03 Jul '10

03 Jul '10

I think you are getting those crackles from the atoms (number boxes) that are trying to redraw every time they get a new number from the accelerometers. (which is probably pretty often!) That would explain why it only happens you are using the sensors, and why your very sensible solutions didn't work. Just a hunch! I'd try hiding it all in a sub patch, and if that works, you could use something like [speedlim] (from cyclone?) to limit the refresh rate on the atoms. Collin http://homepage.mac.com/coldham/klang

'apple' lib for controlling hardware and getting sensor data
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 15 Nov '09

15 Nov '09

Hey, I just finished of a quick library of functions for controlling some of the hardware features on Apple computers when running under Mac OS X. So far, I have been able to control the screen brightness; control the keyboard backlight brightness and fade time; get data from the "sudden motion sensor" or built-in accelerometer; and get data from the built-in light sensors. It's included in the nightly builds as the 'apple' library, check 5.reference -> apple in the Help Browser for help patches. Also, this should be pretty easy to do for other computers. For example, the Thinkpad features are pretty well documented under Windows and GNU/Linux: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/marksmith/tpaps.html http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knockage.html http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/marksmith/sdl.html http://www.gnome.org/~fherrera/gtollina.c Or for Apple hardware, there is pbbuttonsd: http://pbbuttons.berlios.de/ .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!

Bizzare problem with freeverb~
by David F. Place 12 Aug '09

12 Aug '09

Hi: I would like to do some batch processing into ".wav" files. This should be easily accomplished by running pd with -noaudio and -nogui. It almost works. I run my signal through [freeverb~] just before output. If I run the patch with -nogui, freeverb~ is bypassed and the sound is dry. In every other way, it works properly. Why this difference in output just because of -nogui? I attach a demo patch. To reproduce: To hear the output with reverb: 1. pd -noloadbang freeBug.pd 2. click on the bang labeled "Click!" 3. wait about 15 secs, pd will quit 4. aplay /tmp/foo.wav With reverb mysteriously bypassed: 1. pd -nogui freeBug.pd 2. wait about 15 secs, pd will quit 3. play /tmp/foo.wav uname -a Linux Congo 2.6.25.14-108.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Aug 4 13:46:35 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux pd -version Pd version 0.41-4 compiled 18:31:52 Aug 14 2008 freeverb~ 1.2

jack_transport improvements
by Jacob Lee 28 May '09

28 May '09

I've added some code to the jack_transport external (tb/jack_transport/ in pd-extended) to show the current bar/beat (and also bpm and tempo) in real time. Messages are only sent out when pd is computing audio, and also no more than once per beat (to avoid floods of messages). I'm not outputting all the available information from the jack transport -- e.g. the current tick within the beat -- either because it updates too quickly or because it's just not useful to me, but it would be trivial to add those. The motivation here is that I'm using klick -- http://das.nasophon.de/klick/ -- as the jack transport master (mainly to control sooperlooper), and now it is possible to trigger events within pd at particular beats or bar numbers. The code is available at http://artdent.homelinux.net/svn/jack_transport~/ . The makefile should be suitable for building jack_transport~ from inside a directory that is sibling to the existing jack_transport. I've only tested it on Linux, but it should work anywhere jack_transport does. I hope this external is useful to others. Suggestions for improvements are of course welcome. -- Jacob Lee artdent(a)gmail.com

[import]ing libdirs from places other than extra/?
by Luke Iannini 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi hans/all, I'm trying to switch my entire library of patches over to [import] and removing everything from my path to decrease loading time of my very nested patches. Everything worked great for the libdirs in extra (in the Pd-extended.app bundle), but I'm not having any luck [import]ing from anywhere else (i.e. my personal patch collection). According to http://puredata.info/docs/faq/how-do-i-install-externals-and-help-files-wit… , I was under the impression I could add libdirs (which I have added -meta.pd files to) to ~/Library/Pd or /Library/Pd and [import] would find them. But, I'm unable to instantiate any of the patches in my libdirs after doing this and [import]ing them. [import] does not, at least, complain, when I instantiate it (i.e. I get "libdir_loader: added 'Concepts' to the canvas-local objectclass path" rather than "error: [import]: ERROR: can't load library in 'Concepttt'") so, something is working. Moving my directories into extra/ fixes the problem, but I'd rather not do that! Also, is it defined at a source level that ~/Library/Pd and /Library/Pd are the only places libdirs can be loaded from (I couldn't find it i so)? Or, is is just that every folder in the global path is searched for libdirs (or, at least, is that how it's meant to be)? Cheers Luke
