Midi note handling for monophonic synth
by Joe White 25 Feb '13

25 Feb '13

Hi all, I'm implementing a synth in Pd using midi/notein as an input. One problem I keep coming up against is handling note off messages. This guy's blog post describes the issue - http://kemptonmooney.com/2010/09/pure-data-midi-note-off-solution/ However, I think his solution is not exactly what I'm looking for. The synths I use in Logic have note priority methods and remember all held down notes (or at least 10). I wondering if anyone has managed to implement something like this in Pd or might know where I can find out more about it. ddg.mono from Max ( http://www.cycling74.com/docs/max5/refpages/m4l-ref/ddg.mono.html) looks similar to what I want - but I don't use Max and I don't think I can access the source. Any ideas? Thanks, Joe

GUI overload
by Ed Kelly 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

Hi List, I'm not going to say whether this is a "recurrent" problem as it's hard to say whether the rewrite of the GUI has affected it... I'm using a lot of abstractions with larger GOP or non-GOP GUIs, and I find the following problem occurs. There comes a point where the GUI objects stop responding in a patch when it is reloaded. I am wondering if there is a specific limit to GUI objects that could be changed. I think Pd is making some kind of decision that "there's too much of this stuff - I'm gonna prioritize the audio and not worry about it" and I'd like to know how or if it is possible to control this process from within Pd, or by setting flags on the command line. I'm also making less GUI intensive versions for performance time, since the really big GUI patches are often pattern-sequencers which I will not want to program when I am performing. Example patch enclosed to give you an idea. The really GUI-intensive objects are the trackers, especially quadtracker (which I think has pushed the GUI of Pd patches about as far as I can go now). System: quad core i5 PC running Ubuntu (10.04 Lucid), Pd-0.43-4, lots of externals compiled and loaded. Warm wishes, Ed Gemnotes-0.2: Live music notation for Pure Data, now with dynamics! http://sharktracks.co.uk/

Freezes with Pd-Extended and Jack
by Esteban Viveros 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hello, I'm using pd-extended 0.43.4, installed via Hans-Cristoph Steiner ppa. I'm using this version because I can't install the stable version in Ubuntu 12.04. The problem is, when I start pd with Jack in -rt mode or wherever mode, if I turn on dsp, they work well, but if I turn off, and try to turn on yet dsp, pd-extended freeze... Closing Qjackctl (after some time ubuntu can close that) pd-extended returns to work, and I can use on alsa directly sucessfull.. Someone knows where I can comunicate this bug to the developers? Is here the place? Thanks a lot! -- Esteban Viveros (27) 8815 7170 (27) 3066 0359 (11) 95761 4125 (11) 2738 7868 www.bandpage.com/estebanviveros <http://soundcloud.com/estebanviveros> https://www.facebook.com/estebanviveros.art http://www.papodecompositor-es.blogspot.com.br/ http://expurgacao.art.br/

Apply missing
by Max 03 Feb '13

03 Feb '13

hi list, hans, i noticed that in the current autobuilds of Pd-extended the property dialogs for the gui-objects are missing the Apply-Button. Is that a bug or a feature? IMHO this is a bug - if you want to adjust for instance a canvas to be the same size as another object of unknown size you can do that with a few clicks and the help of the Apply button. If you have to click OK and then go to context menu->Properties, set the size, OK repeately to do that it's simply annoying. m.

can anyone make screencasts of 0.43 editing features?
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 29 Jan '13

29 Jan '13

I would love to see a video of the new editing features in Pd-extended 0.43, but I've never really done any screencast recording. Anyone want to take this on? It could be anything from making a complete, narrative movie, or just recording the clips and posting them so someone else can edit them into a full narrative. Here's a description of some of them: http://puredata.info/Members/hans/new-editing-features-of-pd-extended-0-43-… .hc

Pd-extended on Windows now has localization support
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

You can now use Pd-extended on Windows in many different languages! I didn't realize this until just now, but the Windows builds of Pd-extended were not including the translations. I fixed that so Pd-extended should include all of the different interface translations on Windows too. Please test this if you are using a computer in a language other than United States English (there are Canadian and Great Britain localizations as well). http://puredata.info/downloads/pd-extended/releases/0.43.4 The currently included languages are: French (100% translated) Italian (100% translated) Canadian English (100% translated) British English (100% translated) Brazilian Portugeuse (100% translated) Spanish (100% translated) Japanese (99% translated) Mexican Spanish (99% translated) Catalan (99% translated) Greek (98% translated) German (97% translated) Hungarian (94% translated) Latvian (89% translated) Simplified Chinese (87% translated) Turkish (76% translated) Traditional Chinese (74% translated) Czech (73% translated) Gaelic/Scottish (62% translated) Dutch (59% translated) Portugeuse Portugeuse (58% translated) Lithuanian (47% translated) Russian (45% translated) Swedish (43% translated) If you want to help review and/or improve any of these translations, or add a new language, check out the Transifex translation site for Pd. You just need to login, then you can contribute: https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/puredata/resource/templatepot/ .hc

Probably you'll need to add a [import net] to get them. Martin

hi i found the solution with the Thomas Grill help. the tutorial is incorrect. http://samovar.tuxfamily.org/ateliers/doku.php?id=install_linux#thomas_gril… It needs to use the correct instructions to build flext externals. cheers Luc

Raspberry Pi versus BeagleBoard ?
by Pierre Massat 03 Jan '13

03 Jan '13

Dear List, I came accross this "Stompbox design workshop" ( https://ccrma.stanford.edu/wiki/Stompbox_2011). They use Pd on a beagleboard to make stompboxes. They talk about the older version of the beagleboard with a CPU running at around 700 MHz. This is the same speed as the RPi's. I'm wondering what kind of latency they achieved on the beagleboard. Leaving aside the problem of the lack of audio in, don't you think we should be able to get the same performance on a raspberry pi ? Also, I wonder why JACK runs on the beagleboard and not on the RPi. Cheers, Pierre.
