See [touch] in droidparty abstractions which is built using data structures.. I've been working with it for a while. https://github.com/chr15m/PdDroidParty/tree/master/droidparty-abstractions <https://github.com/chr15m/PdDroidParty/tree/master/droidparty-abstractions> > On Dec 14, 2018, at 9:36 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2018 15:34:29 +0100 > From: Max <abonnements(a)revolwear.com <mailto:abonnements@revolwear.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: [PD] Grid, x y control > Message-ID: <3dec1357-cfcd-5d82-7364-eb52dcdd3127(a)revolwear.com <mailto:3dec1357-cfcd-5d82-7364-eb52dcdd3127@revolwear.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > Hi list, > > what's the current recommendation for a simple x-y Pd GUI controller > type of thing?

array vs text, avoiding duplication
by Max 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

Hi list, I have a design consideration: There is a mapping abstraction where IDs of buttons are mapped to MIDI notes. There are different tunings. Previously I used an array to store the tunings and filled this by reading a text file in which the tuning was stored. Now, I do the same thing but I am using the text object. Nice thing here is that I can store the tuning in an object. However in both cases I want to be able to use this abstraction either only once or multiple times. Problem is, that if I use it multiple times the [array name] or [text define -k name] will be defined multiple times. Is there a smart way to solve this kind of issue? I could still use text files and load them in [array $0-name] or [text define -k $0-name] objects, but that doesn't strike me as particular elegant since they will still contain the same thing, meaning it's code duplication. cheers m.

Abstraction arguments: tell apart symbols from floats from no argument at all
by Peter P. 01 Jan '19

01 Jan '19

Hi list, please excuse me if this has been discussed numerous times, but the search engine at https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/ does not give me reasonable answers. I am writing an abstraction and for one of its numeric arguments I would like to detect if it has been not specified, or if it has been set to a float including 0. How can I do this? I would also like to detect if another argument is a float or a symbol and process these two differently without causing Pd error messages. Is this possible? Thank you! P
