Mute certain partials (sigmund~)?
by Peter P. 02 Apr '19

02 Apr '19

I am trying to mute every even partial of an integer series of partials from a harmonic oboe sound tracked with [sigmund~]. I find that this is non-trivial as it is hard to determine -the order of increasing frequencies (sigmund orders them by strength) -which partial is the lowest for a harmonic sound. Does anyone have a good idea how this can be done either in realtime or offline (via tables perhaps)? Thanks! P

Also, if you are not aware, Pd vanilla ships with the "Deken" externals installer plugin: Help - > Find externals The centralized externals included with Pd-extended have been split up and some are being maintained and new builds available via deken. If you know the libraries in your old Pd-extended projects, it's likely that you can download them. One thing to know, is that the old [import] which automatically scanned and loaded all libraries is not part of vanilla. The preferred approach is to use the new(er) [declare] object to add paths or library names, sort of like including header files in programming languages. This way, there is no ambiguity when sharing patches with other people. We as a community are slowly working through this transition process and there are a few details to work on, but it's largely a good thing as it helps split up the work and external development activity has increased in some areas. > On Mar 30, 2019, at 4:29 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: Ignacio Lois <ignaciolois(a)gmail.com <mailto:ignaciolois@gmail.com>> > To: Alexandre Torres Porres <porres(a)gmail.com <mailto:porres@gmail.com>> > Cc: Liam Goodacre <liamg_uw(a)hotmail.com <mailto:liamg_uw@hotmail.com>>, "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] getting back to business > Message-ID: > <CA+Sf9CPekbyLjKRB_B00o_Ly3JZc8bHnOOKk0sDr-=BLOCHzVw(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CA+Sf9CPekbyLjKRB_B00o_Ly3JZc8bHnOOKk0sDr-=BLOCHzVw@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Thanks!

getting back to business
by Ignacio Lois 30 Mar '19

30 Mar '19

Hello everyone, I used to do some stuff with pd-extended about eight years ago. I did a quite interesting and rather large project back then but I haven't really touched the language since [although I kept receiving these mails and sometimes I even read them]. I'm thinking of getting back into it, so I have two questions for you: 1. Are there any new libraries (from around 2010 onwards) I should be aware of? Be it because they're useful or cool or your favorite for any reason. 2. What do you think would be good katas for Pd? It doesn't matter if they're very basic. Thanks!

[Pd] No symbol arguments for append
by Chuckk Hubbard 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

I'm having this problem on Win 7 64-bit, with vanilla Pd 0.49.0 both 32-bit and 64-bit, as well as Purr-Data vs. Pd-l2ork-2.8.1 2019-0207-rev.e216f5a0 A symbol included as part of a struct definition is not accepted using append, whether I send individual values or a list with all values. Sending an individual symbol, I see "error: inlet: expected 'float' but god 'symbol' Sending a list, I see "error: pd-odd.odd: not a number" Is this a bug or a sign that I'm doing something wrong? Thank you Chuckk

How can I weave multiple signals together?
by RT 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

I have a Pd patch with 3 separate signals and I want to sequentially weave the signals together so instead of having three separate signals I create 1 large signal that is created by weaving 3 signals together. Example: (note: the commas are just used as separators and I used letters, numbers, and symbols to help differentiate the signals) *signal_1 array* is *A,B,C,D,E* *signal_2 array * is *1,2,3,4,5* *signal_3 array * is *@,#,%,&,(* The completed weaved signal to playback would look like this *A,1,@,B,2,#,C,3,%,D,4,&,E,5,(* I've attached an image along with the Pd file that I hope helps explains this. I've placed each signal into their own separate array in Pd but I'm not sure how to sequentially "weave" the signals together. Any ideas? Thanks

samplerate in audio settings different from [samplerate~]
by Peter P. 26 Mar '19

26 Mar '19

Hi, I just found out that on Linux pd -jack with jack running at 96kHz will display a samplerate of 44100Hz in its audio settings while [samplerate~] reports the actual 96kHz. I understand that Pd just accepts jack's samplerate but it would be friendly in terms of user interface design to reflect that fact in the audio settings as well. It might lead to less confusion. Is there a way to change it with limited effort? best, P

read Linux fifos / named pipes
by Carlos Franke 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

Hi, other then using [shell], is there a way to read from a named pipe / fifo in Linux? I tried [textfile] and [msgfile] from zexy. Both fail to read from a pipe, [msgfile] with the error message: pd: getbytes() failed -- out of memory msgfile_read: could not reserve -1 bytes to read into Writing to a pipe using [textfile] works nicely, by the way. c

In 2019 is there a way to detect mouse down/up?
by Chris McCormick 24 Mar '19

24 Mar '19

Hello, Is there a way in a Pd [vanilla] patch to detect a mouse-down and mouse-up event in non-edit mode? So for example to build a GUI which works like a hardware keyboard key. Pressing it down mean on, letting go means off. Cheers, Chris. -- https://mccormick.cx/ Sign up to my newsletter to hear about tech I'm building. https://mccormick.cx/subscribe
