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

(breaking symbols) was Re: find a list of numbers in a text file
by Alexandre Torres Porres 05 Dec '14

05 Dec '14

now, some files come in ratios as one symbol like this 5/4 3/2 7/4 I'd need to break them into different characters, then treat as numbers to get interval in cents. How do I do that? I believe I can't do it in any way with vanilla objects, right? thanks Alex 2011/8/3 Alexandre Torres Porres <porres(a)gmail.com> > yeah, it works :) > > I knew there had to be an easier way other than the mess I did. > > Perfect, Thanks > > This is a very cool addon feature to my stuff I'm showing at PdCon, see you > all there. > > See you all there soon! > > > > > 2011/8/3 Miller Puckette <msp(a)ucsd.edu> > >> HI Alex -- >> >> Have you tried sending textfile an "open [my-filename] cr" message?

udp broadcasting with netsend: permission denied in Linux
by Matteo Sisti Sette 08 Nov '14

08 Nov '14

Hi, I've used netsend for broadcasting UDP packets to the local network for years, connecting to 255.255.255.255:5000 (or any other port >1024) and I never had problems under Windows. However in Linux it doesn't work, it doesn't connect. If I run Pd from a terminal, I see this error in the terminal output: "connecting stream socket: Permission denied (13)" (one of the few errors that don't appear in the pd console btw). I remember mentioning this some time ago and being told that it had been fixed, but it seems it isn't. Is there a way to circumvent this and be able to broadcast udp packets with netsend? thanks m.

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?

Rewriting a unified phasor / metro object for reading tables
by Ed Kelly 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi Lists(s), I'm rewriting phasor~ and unifying it with metro so that a pulse is generated from the boundaries of each ramp - so that bars of music can be read using tabread~ objects with a sample-accurate metro. I'm sure someone will say this can already be done, but it has to be dropped into the Ninja Jamm patch, so there isn't really time to rewrite the rest of the patch. I don't fully understand the way phasor~ wraps, but I have the object firing out bar numbers correctly. I'm putting clocks in for 16ths and 24ths of the beat, initiated on each wrap. I need to minimise CPU, so what I want to know is this: Does phasor~ always start from 0 and go to 1, i.e. is there always a signal value of 0 at the start of the ramp and a signal value of 1 at the end? As I write this, my common sense tells me it should be "yes" but I want to make sure. I suppose I should just try it really...

TCP/IP communication from the unix server to the Pure Data
by Petar Jercic 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Apparently [netclient] on the Pure Data side cannot receive nothing else than ; delimited messages. So the solution for the problem: *My question is, is there a way to send something other than string message to Pure Data, like byte-stream or serialized number stream? Can Pure Data receive such messages?* The solution is to use [tcpclient], it can receive byte-stream data. Now I have another problem regarding the data read, on how to convert it back to usable numbers. From my UNIX server I am sending a structure typedef struct { int var_code; int sample_time; int hr; float hs; } phy_data; Sample data might be 2 1000000 51 2000.56 When received and printed in Pure Data I get output like this: >>>: 2 0 0 0 104 34 9 0 51 0 0 0 235 50 48 69 You can notice number 2 and number 51 clearly, I guess the others are correct as well. Might be some network inversion of LSB/MSB. *How can I get these numbers back to a usable format and get them in separate variables? *//Petar* *
