Looking for file match without reporting error
by Samuel Burt 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

List, I've been using textfile to save and load some preset values in a complex collection of related GUI tools. I'd like to be able to start with no presets and allow the user to define them separately in different project environments or just leave them without setting them. My problem is that textfile searches for these preset files whether they exist or not and the present the user with errors in the log window. Is there a way for Pd to look for the files first and if they aren't found not pass on the load file commands to textfile? I know I could create default preset text files for all of them, but it is useful for a user to copy the whole directory and then empty the preset text file folder, which now that I think of it could be a one button press. Thanks, Sam

Using an external from patch directory -- readanysf~
by Samuel Burt 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

Readanysf~ comes with a bunch of dynamic libraries (on Mac) and every other version has its own set of things it needs. Does this mean it can't be incorporated into deken? >From what I understand, you can drop externals into a patch directory so its easy to transfer to someone else who might not have that external installed. Is this wrong? It isn't working with readanysf~? Currently, I'm using OS 10.9.5, Pd Pd 0.45.4 and readanysf~.pd_darwin from 11/3/11(?!). Is there a better way for reading back soundfiles with variable speed playback from hard disk, now? or did I miss a more recent version of [readanysf~]? Thanks for the advice. Sam

Re: [PD] Pd vanilla zverbose SSE, missing comments
by Samuel Burt 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

IOhannes, Thanks for the help. [abs~], an object I use frequently, was causing the problem. Every time I used "Save" in Pd, it would trigger zverbose, six times. I found six instances of [abs~] and replaced them with [expr~ abs($v1)] which did the trick! I did not have any flags when loading Pd. I also needed level 2 logs to see the errors I wanted to track. Fred Jan Kraan, Thank you for reminding me about Comment. I used that instead of comment when I needed to control line returns, which it looks like I can do now with vanilla comment. Sam

Fast iem tab_conv or similar?
by JF 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Is there a way to quickly convolve two tables? iem's tab_conv seems quite slow? bsaylors partconv~ works quite well in real time but I'm just looking to convolve tables offline and play back the result from a new table. Many thanks in advance, John.

Pd vanilla zverbose SSE, missing comments
by Samuel Burt 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

Pd list, Please, help me out here. I'm in the middle of migrating a massive project from Pd-extended to Pd-vanilla+deken. My Log is set to level 2, and I keep getting these messages: zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization zverbose(2): checking for SSE compatibility zverbose(2): using SSE optimization They come about 16 lines at a time every 12 seconds. What is this? Is this important? Can I get Pd to stop nagging me about it? This makes the console difficult to use. Also, in a lot of my patches, I load them and the Log tells me that it couldn't create the comments. These comments appear with the standard dotted line around them. Did I at some point create comments with some other way than the normal method? Has anyone experienced this? Thanks, Sam

Slightly OT: Goal for NAMM 2017: Pledge to Support Open Source
by William Huston 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I hope you all consider this an appropriate post for this list. I have been very upset at a certain manufacturer which I have decades of experience owning their products. I love their machines! But they are pissing me off by doing things like: *1) Bundle software which only runs on Proprietary Operating Systems.* This is an excuse to increase street price. Linux users who want just the hardware are forced to pay for something they do not want and cannot use. *2) Publishing only a partial MIDI implementation* *3) Using a secret API* which only their *closed source Editor* can access, and which only runs on *Windows or MacOS*. ($$$). So *if I want a Korg product* (like their new Microkey Studio!!! I have the perfect application for this!!!), *then I must also pay Microsoft or Apple, in order to fully use the thing*. I must also must pay a premium for software I cannot use and may not want or need. *I do not think this is fair or right!* Here's an idea: NAMM is going on right now. This is a time when all of the manufacturers all get together. I think the Open Source community has a lot of clout now. My idea is to draft a *Pledge to Support Open Source Community*, which we will try to get manufacturers support for by the next 2017 NAMM. My list so far is this: 1) *Publish full MIDI standard. **No hidden APIs *which only closed-source tools, which only run on Windows or Mac can access. 2) *Unbundle the hardware from the optional software*. Don't force a linux hardware owner to pay for software he cannot use. 3) Consider including *sample editors *or *performance programs *as hackable *C programs,* *Perl *or *Python *scripts, and also *sample patches *in popular *open-source music programs *such as *CSound, SuperCollider*, or *Pure Data*. Does anyone want to be a co-signer on this, or have anything to add? *I think it would be awesome to get the top 10-20 people* *in Open Source Music world to endorse this first thing. * People like *Miller, Onyx Ashanti, Ico, Julius O. Smith, * *Servando, Katja, Alexandre, Matt, IOhannes, Cheeto,* *Richard Stallman*, ... c'mon people, help me out... Wow, that would pack a whallop! I think we could have a major impact on hardware manufacturers. This is a way for me to take my complaint with Korg and make this a campaign which could help users of other H/W vendors stuff as well.

converting incoming audio/voltages into CV for Eurorack modules
by Pagano, Patrick 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

I would like to hear how people may be converting incoming audio into Control Voltage for eurorack use. This year i indulged in building a eurorack synthesizer and i would like to start using some interesting libraries i have found in pure data to control my synthesizer but i want to do it elegantly. For example: I am trying to make a Fractal CV generator with pure data. I am using Ben Bogarts "Chaos" libraries and i am hoping for some ideas on how to convert the streams of data into usable CV outside the box, Patrick Pagano B.S, M.F.A Audio and Projection Design Faculty Digital Worlds Institute University of Florida, USA (352)294-2020
