Curly brace
by Antoine Villeret 15 Aug '17

15 Aug '17

Hi all, I know this have been discussed in the past, but is there any chance to be able to use curly brace in Pd vanilla in 2017 ? I see PurrData supports curly brace since RC4. It would be very useful for regex-like syntax, e.g. foo{1-5} for OSC routing. Thanks Antoine -- do it yourself http://antoine.villeret.free.fr

modal synthesis examples?
by jmejia＠anestheticaudio.com 14 Aug '17

14 Aug '17

Does anyone know of any patches / abstractions / libraries for playing with modal synthesis in pd? In particular I'm looking at this paper: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kvdoel/publications/modalpaper.pdf But I'd love put together something that looks a little like modalys... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m-KlgF48mU The only implementations I'm really aware of is the old STK (https://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk/) - which actually isn't maintained for pd or running on modern systems as far as I can tell. Some of it made it's way to faust and I've had some luck cross - compiling, but I imagine there might be better / newer stuff around...

bad window path name error on dynamic patching
by Zack Lee 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hi, I created a simple patch that creates & destroys objects by dynamic patching. But when I send the message "vis 1, editmode 1, mouse 0 0 0 0, cut, vis 0" to a sub patch, suddenly, an error message pops up saying "Error: bad window path name ".x10031fa80.c" And if I hit 'details' button, it shows the following log. bad window path name ".x1020113e0.c" bad window path name ".x1020113e0.c" while executing "winfo toplevel $tkcanvas" (procedure "::pdtk_canvas::pdtk_canvas_getscroll" line 2) invoked from within "::pdtk_canvas::pdtk_canvas_getscroll .x1020113e0.c" ("after" script) I tested this with both Pd-0.47-1 and Pd-0.48-0test7 on Mac OS X 10.11.6. And here's a patch content for anyone who wants to test this error. #N canvas 654 290 585 488 10; #N canvas 0 23 450 300 sub 0; #X restore 101 395 pd sub; #X obj 224 398 s pd-sub; #X msg 318 332 undo; #X obj 187 15 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 17 7 0 10 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 187 108 sel 0 1 2 3; #X msg 375 333 clear; #X msg 74 189 obj 0 0 osc~ 440 \, obj 0 20 *~ 0.1 \, connect 0 0 1 0 \, obj 0 40 dac~ \, connect 1 0 2 0 \, connect 1 0 2 1; #X msg 230 270 vis 1 \, editmode 1 \, mouse 0 0 0 0 \, cut \, vis 0 ; #X obj 187 43 f; #X obj 220 44 + 1; #X obj 187 65 % 4; #X floatatom 187 87 5 0 0 0 - - -, f 5; #X connect 2 0 1 0; #X connect 3 0 8 0; #X connect 4 0 6 0; #X connect 4 1 7 0; #X connect 4 2 2 0; #X connect 4 3 5 0; #X connect 5 0 1 0; #X connect 6 0 1 0; #X connect 7 0 1 0; #X connect 8 0 9 0; #X connect 8 0 10 0; #X connect 9 0 8 1; #X connect 10 0 11 0; #X connect 11 0 4 0;

tri function in [expr~]
by Derek Holzer 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Dear list, I am transcribing some code from C to Pd expressions, and I am wondering how I might best get the tri function working since it's not native to expr. I have been using this expression as my triangle function: (min($v1, 1- $v1) - 0.25) * 4 So for this example: wave_x = .5-triangle((phasor-9/16)/(2/16))*.5; I have tried the following, which doesn't function correctly compared with the original C: [phasor~ 200] | [expr~ ($v1-9./16.)/(2./16.)] | [expr~ (0.5 - (min($v1, 1.- $v1) - 0.25) * 4.) * 0.5] | [s~ wave_x] I am quite sure I have made some errors in the syntax somewhere, and I did trial-and-error many other combinations before arriving at this one. Would someone more math-literate than me care to help work this out? SIDENOTE: when is it necessary to force expr~ to consider a number as a float by using a decimal? (9/16) doesn't work but (9./16.) does. ((min($v1, 1- $v1) - 0.25) * 4) works regardless of whether the 1 and the 4 have a decimal point following them or not. Thanks much!

pd-csound on raspbian
by Dirk Stromberg 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Dear List, I am having issues getting csound6~ to work on raspbian. I have managed to get it to work on ubuntu mate, but there seems to be an issue with the installation on raspbian. The error is flagged in the pd console: "undefined symbol: canvas_dspstate" not sure why the installation of this particular object has issues. I do get the same issue with rtcmix~ (not maintained by this list), but both. PD version = 0.46.2-1 Vanilla pd-csound = 1:6.03.2~dfsg-1 I tried the ubuntu version on raspbian, but it threw the same errors. Not sure if this is a PD or external issue. Thanks for the help, -- Dirk Johan Stromberg, BM, MM Lecturer, Audio Production @ LASALLE College of the Arts +65 9386-9243 More @ dirkstromberg.org

abstraction arguments and GUI
by jlistshit 12 Aug '17

12 Aug '17

I oftenly use abstractions with arguments (e.g. preset values) typed into the object box. Unfortunately in that mode the abstractions own GUI is invisible, due to arguments only working, when “Hide object name and argumets” is active. Couldn’t there be a way, that let’s one alternatively type arguments into fields contained within the objects properties window? How could one preserve the abstraction GUI and use arguments? Or how do you work alternatively? Thanx for any insights. jayrope - - - www.jayrope.com www.aircushionfinish.com www.ello.co/jayrope

List question

Is this an appropriate place to say “ I am currently in Barcelona for ten days and would like to meet other PD users for exchange”? If so and you are interested, send me a message offlist. Thank you. jayrope - - - www.jayrope.com www.aircushionfinish.com www.ello.co/jayrope

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Pd version 0.48-0test7

Are you sure? I added an explicit browser refresh mechanism when changing paths and hitting ok in the Path dialog. You can also trigger by pressing MOD+Shift+R with the browser in focus. > On Aug 11, 2017, at 5:46 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2017 01:31:45 +0000 > From: Lucas Cordiviola <lucarda27(a)hotmail.com <mailto:lucarda27@hotmail.com>> > To: "pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>" <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Pd version 0.48-0test7 > Message-ID: > <BLUPR01MB552AD870AAE0F8884AA9009A6890(a)BLUPR01MB552.prod.exchangelabs.com <mailto:BLUPR01MB552AD870AAE0F8884AA9009A6890@BLUPR01MB552.prod.exchangelabs.com>> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > w32 seems good. > > [pd~] is Ok. > > All the new documents/pd thing seems fine.

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Pd version 0.48-0test7
by Dan Wilcox 11 Aug '17

To be fair, changes were made after feedback was asked for but not given. A lot of time was put into balancing the issues but we sometimes have to guess what you might actually want. > On Aug 11, 2017, at 2:18 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > it appears that when I try to make changes to the GUI code it upsets people -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>
