Pd vanilla font size
by João Pais 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hello list, a small question about font size: in one of my computers the font in the patch is bigger than in the others. That happens in the same patch with the same settings. Is this behavior known? Pd vanilla (it happens with any version I install), windows 10. Best, jmmmp

Dear all This call is for composers who identify as female, with multi-loudspeaker ideas, dreams, ambitions, and desires: the HISS is supporting this amazing call to work in the SPIRAL and on our sound system. Beware, the turn around is short (14th December 2018). https://hcmf.co.uk/huddersfield-professional-development-programme-for-fema… Should you need an introduction to the Huddersfield Immersive Sound System: thehiss.org or the SPIRAL? https://www.genelec.com/multi-channel-experiment-huddersfield-university pa

[GEM] cannot handle this format (b1) !
by Jaime Oliver 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

Hi all, I am updating my pix_externals to work with pd 0.49-1 and GEM from git: https://github.com/umlaeute/Gem I get the following message when I connect a video to my pix_external (pix_mano in this case...): [pix_mano]: cannot handle this format (b1) ! pix_video works fine without pix_mano and pix_mano is expecting a gray image coming out of pix_grey. This worked fine before, but now crashes. I wonder if there has been any changes that I might not be aware of? best, J -- ********************** Jaime E Oliver LR www.jaimeoliver.pe

pd 0.49-1 crashes at open on Mac OS X 10.14
by Csaba Láng 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

Dear list, I planned to move to 0.49-1 as read all about the amazing new features, but unfortunately pd crashes at startup. After next startup it prints: Pd seems to have crashed on startup. (re-save preferences to reinstate them) Re-saving them causes a crash next time either. This means no externals are loaded. Did anyone had a similar issue? Is there any solution? Best, Popesz

deken .pd_darwin not detected
by Max 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

Hi list, I'm using the deken tool to package a library on linux. It worked nicely for linux_64, now I try the same thing for pd_darwin, but deken doesn't recognize the architecture at all, the file is just called {name}[{version}].dek deken --version 0.5.0 should I rename it manually to {name}[{version}](Darwin-x86_64-32).dek and upload it? m.

vanilla OSC message format
by Max 24 Nov '18

24 Nov '18

Hi list. I have a working mrpeach OSC patch which links a motion capture system (Captury) to Pd. I have no control over the message format being sent from the mocap software. The software requires to subscribe to every bone before that one is sent. In mrpeach osc objects the subscription works like this: [connect {IP} {port}( | | [send /subscribe/@/bllender/Root/vector( | | | [packOSC] |/ [udpsend] I expected the vanilla version of this to be this: [connect {IP} {port}( | | [symbol vector( | | | [oscformat -f sssss subscribe @ blender Root] | | | [list prepend send] | | | [list trim] |/ [netsend -u -b] I also tried variations of that but could not get subscribed to the mocap system. Is the @ symbol an issue for vanilla OSC? It acts like a wildcard for any value in this case. If different people are registered each would have an assigned name instead of the @. The same issue is at the receiving end to get the data. mrpeach version (works): [udpreceive {port}] | [unpackOSC] | [route /@/blender/Root/vector] | [unpack f f f] | [nbx] my vanilla OSC version is not working: [netreceive {port} 1] | [oscparse] | [route @] | [route blender] | [route Root] | [route vector] | [unpack f f f] | [nbx] Any clues what could be wrong? Note: "blender" in the osc path just refers to the skeleton standard used, there is no blender involved. It's not an urgent matter, I can live with a working mrpeach implementation just fine, I was simply thinking to reduce the number of dependencies from 1 to 0 would be neat and was astonished that I could not do in vanilla what was possible with mrpeach. m.

webcam to pix_video with VLC plugin on Mac OS X
by Csaba Láng 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

Dear List, I am still looking for a reasonable solution to have a video input to Mac OS X with Gem. I was testing syphon_client, works almost OK, except that could not make any motion detector out of it, no pix_background works with it, cannot change contrast, threshold, basically nothing. Just came to my mind the VLC plugin, which I have compiled luckily, but the documentation is so poor to the VLC plugin that cannot find a way to get a video device with one message into it. Can anyone give me a nice hint to use the vlc plugin with a USB webcam connected directly to the computer? What is the message to use? Thanks in advance for any help! Popesz

Re: [PD] case-sensitivity for filenames of abstractions on different OSes?
by Dan Wilcox 23 Nov '18

23 Nov '18

It maybe *nix, but its not Linux. Default macOS installs are case INsensitive, unlike Linux. You can, of course, choose case sensitive when formatting a new partition, but I'd say the vast majority of people are running patches from their default partition. > On Nov 20, 2018, at 4:05 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 4 > Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2018 15:26:09 +0100 > From: "Peter P." <peterparker(a)fastmail.com <mailto:peterparker@fastmail.com>> > To: pd-list <pd-list(a)iem.at <mailto:pd-list@iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] case-sensitivity for filenames of abstractions on > different OSes? > Message-ID: <20181120142609.ynauckmn3rzb37co(a)fastmail.com <mailto:20181120142609.ynauckmn3rzb37co@fastmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Hi, > > is it possible that an abstraction loads as [myabs] when only a > myAbs.pd file is present under OS X?

by Matt Davey 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

I get errors in the console (for example, foo: no such object), but pd's error detection can't find the source of those errors, and when i click on "find last error", i get "no findable error yet."

Exporting a patch as a zip file
by Dario Sanfilippo 22 Nov '18

22 Nov '18

Hello, list. Do you have a workaround for exporting a patch as a zip file containing all abstractions and externals in the patch? It would be amazing to be able to do that because manually locating all the necessary abstractions and externals from a supposedly large folder is a bit tricky and many are often left behind. Thanks, Dario
