PD file format documentation?
by William Huston 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

A question arose on Facebook which prompts me to ask: Is the PD file format documented anywhere? (besides the source code)? Has anyone built any programs which build PD files? It might be neat to have a C-Sound or Supercollider style language (where writting tests and loops can be easier) which compile down to a .PD source file. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has thought of this! I realize that editing .PD files directly is generally considered to be "nicht für der gefingerpoken".... ;) thanks

[PD-announce] vstplugin~ v0.3.0 released!
by Christof Ressi 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Dear list, I'm happy to announce the release of vstplugin~ v0.3.0. [vstplugin~] allows to load VST2 and VST3 plugins on Windows, macOS and Linux. Binaries are available on Deken or here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/releases Please report any issues at https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/issues or https://github.com/Spacechild1/vstplugin/issues BTW, I've made a small tutorial video :-): https://vimeo.com/382944239 --- *** Change Log *** New features: * better error messages when plugins fail to load (e.g. wrong CPU architecture) * automatically scan VST3 presets * new simplified preset management system, using named presets which are saved to standard locations (the old methods remain for power users). * new vstpresetbrowser.pd abstraction * improved vstpluginbrowser.pd: better GUI + plugins can be filtered by keyword, type, category and vendor * [open( can be called asynchronously and responds with [open <success>( * preset methods can be called asynchronously and respond with messages, e.g. [preset_load <success>( * [reset( can be executed asynchronously and responds with [reset(. * [search_stop( method to cancel an asynchronous plugin search. * [param_list(, [program_list( and [preset_list( accept an optional plugin key argument * [info( also outputs the VST SDK version. * experimental support for PDINSTANCE (untested) Bug fixes: * fixed serveral bugs in the VST3 implementation * fix crash when calling [midi_*( methods without plugin * don't lock Pd when receiving events from the GUI thread if DSP is running, instead set an atomic flag and set a clock in the perform routine. This avoids dead-locks in certain plugins and also improves realtime-safety. --- Have fun!

Re: [PD] "good" phasor~ in B16.long-varispeed.pd not looping?
by Sebastian Shader 06 Jan '20

Is the reason that the "offset" inlet isn't a signal inlet mainly for performance in most use-cases?Because if it were it seems like users could give 32-bit floats to both inlets, and have them added as doubles internally? -Seb

Tcl errors on opening Test Audio MIDI
by Max 04 Jan '20

04 Jan '20

I have something strange going on with Pd (0.50 on Linux kubuntu 19.10) It was working before, but now when I open the Test Audio MIDI patch it shows an empty canvas with just one numberbox in it and this error: (Tcl) UNHANDLED ERROR: bad screen distance "88.000000" while executing "$tkcanvas create text $x $y -tags $tags -text [::pdtk_text::unescape $text] -fill $color -anchor nw -font [get_font_for_size $font_size]" (procedure "pdtk_text_new" line 2) invoked from within "pdtk_text_new .x5627d7726b80.c {.x5627d7726b80.t5627d7783760 atom text} 88.000000 276.000000 {0 } 12 black" ("uplevel" body line 9) invoked from within "uplevel #0 $docmds" I then cloned the git version and compiled and installed it to see if that would change anything but it's the same error.

freeverb~ external library
by David Kettle 03 Jan '20

03 Jan '20

Hi! Where should I report a problem with the freeverb~ external library? Is it still being supported by anyone? I've installed the latest version of the freeverb~ library (v1.2.3) for Pure Data (64-bit) using Deken. But when I try to load a patch with a [freeverb~] object Pure Data just crashes, without issuing any error messages. I don't think it's a Deken issue, although something may be wrong with the version of the library in the Deken repository. Maybe it's corrupt, or it was compiled incorrectly. Thanks.
