Mr. Peach missing packOSC/unpackOSC?
by Joey Dodson 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Hi all, I'm working on getting started with OSC and I'm referencing this page: http://write.flossmanuals.net/pure-data/osc/ which suggests using [packOSC] and [unpackOSC], which I believe are supposed to be in Mr. Peach. The only problem is that I have Mr. Peach installed and I don't seem to be able to create those objects. I have tried declaring them [mrpeach/packOSC] and [mrpeach/net/packOSC], not to mention with lowercase letters as well. [import mrpeach] also doesn't create. However, I can use some other objects just fine, like [mrpeach/net/udpreceive]. I am currently using Pd 0.48.1 and, according to Synaptic, I have pd-mrpeach & pd-mrpeach-net 0.1 installed. Am I missing something? Those are the only ones that show up in Synaptic. I also noticed that the Pd site doesn't list any versions for it: https://puredata.info/downloads/mrpeach Any hints would be appreciated! Cheers, Joey

[PD-announce] easyflow v0.3.0 released
by Henri Augusto Bisognini 28 Sep '19

28 Sep '19

I've just did a big update to the easyflow library You can already get easyflow v0.3.0 on deken or on github<https://github.com/HenriAugusto/easyflow>! Since this is a big update be sure to read the change log<https://github.com/HenriAugusto/easyflow/blob/master/changeLog.md>! (There is some minor backwards incompatible changes) Some highlights of new abstractions: -[dictionary] - getting and retrieving (key,value) pairs -[listCollect] - useful for reconstructing lists after processing them element-wise -[iterator] - list iterator -[public][private][member][getMember][setMember][method][callMethod][methodInput][methodOutput][objAccess] - experimental workflow to give more control over data sharing across patches. big bugfix: -the library now can be used in OS with case-sensitive file system _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] Bug on Pd 0.50-1 (delete key on mac)

It sometimes feels like it's impossible to *win* at bug fixing... I didn't test it as I was on vacation and I've been trying to ignore such Tk bugs for my own sanity. > On Sep 27, 2019, at 10:12 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > henri and lucarda responded (but afaict, they only use windows), nobody > else seemed to care.

stability of PD on Windows?
by Scott R. Looney 27 Sep '19

27 Sep '19

hey folks - i've been working with PD using a Windows 10 laptop and i seem to be having a difficult time keeping the setup stable and getting low latency audio out. i have used this Windows 10 laptop for a variety of tasks with VR rigs, gaming, browsing,etc and it does a credible job, but running PD 0.49 i have experienced a wide variety of inconsistent behavior. mainly it's things like USB ports timing out for audio and/or MIDI input, as well as too much latency for instrument playback (20 ms or so, not horrific, but not responsive enough for fast playing. ). i've used 3 interfaces - the onboard audio, a C-Media USB compliant dongle interface, and an Apogee Duet. in all three cases the audio output and MIDI input can randomly time out and stop working - it's usually both at the same time. turning audio off and on can fix the issue usually, but not always. as far as the latency, it seems consistent at about 20 ms using 32 msec buffer settings. any smaller and it results in buffer distortion on the audio stream. so i'm just curious if anyone here uses PD on Windows in a live performance capacity (especially as an instrument responding to note or pad input) and if so what setup has produced the most reliability? i have actually tried this on a Mac - or to be more accurate, a half completed macOS hackbook on the same machine, and while latency is shorter, the timeout issue is much more severe and cannot usually be fixed by turning audio off and on. for now i'm ignoring using macOS and seeing if i can get the Windows version to be stable, but it would be nice if there were others using it in Windows and getting stable performance. maybe there's extra tweaks available in Windows that help the stability? let me know what works for you! best, scott

Re: [PD] Expr objects are GPL or LGPL?
by Dan Wilcox 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

To reiterate: the expr object sources are now part of Pd's core src folder and named x_expr* with explicit permission of the original author. As far as I can tell, they now assume the same BSD license as that of Pd: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/commit/82a5e455f859071698788c04df5d1… <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/commit/82a5e455f859071698788c04df5d1…> To be fair, the source file heard info was not changed until later and we are obviously still catching up with changing mentions of licensing in other places. Better would be to contact the authors of there aforementioned websites and ask them to update the license info. Then this whole email chain can be avoided the second time around. > On Sep 26, 2019, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: Alexandre Torres Porres <porres(a)gmail.com <mailto:porres@gmail.com>> > To: Nicolas Danet <nicolas.danet(a)free.fr <mailto:nicolas.danet@free.fr>> > Cc: Pd-List <pd-list(a)mail.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@mail.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] Expr objects are GPL or LGPL? > Message-ID: > <CAEAsFmjj_oupgcTJ9aV3Qop6v5FQiGQKm7rmP+K84C+b=KCcsg(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAEAsFmjj_oupgcTJ9aV3Qop6v5FQiGQKm7rmP+K84C+b=KCcsg@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > well, miller now says it's not > > and I actually also thought so, but then the note says differently > > one way or another, we need to fix this and make it clearer in the pd > documentation -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

declare -lib discrepancy
by Ed Kelly 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

So, I have two PCs. One is a a desktop and one is a laptop. Both have Intel i5 Sandy Bridge processors. Both are running Debian stretch. Both are running Pd 0.49, and libraries are installed via Deken system. On my desktop, after creating a [declare -lib creb] object it makes no difference, and I have to type [creb/eadsr~] for example to get the object to load. On my laptop, I can load objects after declaring the library. I can just type a [declare -lib creb] object and then use as many [eadsr~] objects as I like. Declare does not seem to work on my desktop. Is this an issue with regards to superuser permissions or configuration files (not .pdrc, surely) I'm really stumped, and it means I cannot make my libraries of externals and abstractions to work for other people if I cannot even determine why they do or do not work in my own situation. I may have overlooked something stupid, in which case I'll happily take the whip from you, but I think I'm too close to work out what's wrong. Pls Help :-(Ed New album - Driftwood: synchroma.bandcamp.com
