Pd + Jack with non-standard period
by Remmy Canedo 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

Hi, got a new dell 13 5301. It comes with a sof-hda-dsp card. After installing Ubuntu 20.04, Qjackctl was not working. I found a solution here: https://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg5830075.html Qjackctl started fine with sr 48000 and period 1008 and I have clean sound from vlc, audacity, ardour, etc but Pd 0.50.2 is constantly crackling. I tried pd -jack in terminal and there's a "Partial read" message constantly appearing. With callbacks the message turn into "jack: nframes 1008 not a multiple of blocksize 64" Then I tried pd -jack -blocksize 252 (also 504, 1008) but the problem continues. Probably I'm missing something, so any help to fix this will be appreciated. best, rc.

vbap & rvbap?
by Dan Wilcox 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Howdy all, I'm finalizing some updates to the vbap external. Can anyone explain the relationship between [vbap] and [rvbap]? Is [rvbap] a separate port of the original code or? The repo is on GitHub: https://github.com/pd-externals/vbap <https://github.com/pd-externals/vbap> -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

earplug~ on pd-externals GitHub group
by Dan Wilcox 19 Nov '20

Howdy all, We use the old, but venerable earplug~ external in a project at work which we are currently updating. I went ahead and pulled the earplug~ git dump from svn onto a GitHub repo and have made some updates for a version 0.2.2 release: https://github.com/pd-externals/earplug <https://github.com/pd-externals/earplug> As it's a pure C external with pd-lib-builder, it should be easy to build. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Hi list, sorry if this has been discussed before, the list archive didn't give a good search result, but how would I reverse items in a given list immediately, so that [1 2 3< becomes [3 2 1< ? cheers, P

macOS default font now Menlo
by Dan Wilcox 17 Nov '20

17 Nov '20

Howdy all, As Miller has finalized 0.51-3, I wanted to let macOS people know that Pd's default font on the platform has been changed to Menlo. This is a short note to preempt a flood of "why does Pd suddenly display 0s with a slash instead of a dot!" messages. # Menlo?! Menlo is a system font included with macOS back to 10.6 and is actually based on Bitstream Sans Mono and DejaVu Sans Mono, so there should be no sizing or positioning issues with existing patches. I find it actually slightly more readable. See font difference screenshots here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/988#issuecomment-727617574 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/988#issuecomment-727617574> # Why? There is an issue for macOS 10.15+ with how DejaVu Sans Mono is loaded/displayed on the Tk canvas to where Pd renders the font "too thin" within object & messages. It doesn't affect functionality except for most selection being off and objects have an inordinate amount of trailing space. Full Github discussion here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/988 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/988> I spent some time trying to find if it was a problem a mac setting or a bug with Tk. It may indeed be the latter but it will take time to make a good bug report upstream. In the meantime, I found that simply using a system font renders fine and also found that Menlo thankfully matches very close to DejaVu Sans Mono. I am a bit disappointed to drop the "one front on all platforms" approach, but this is a pretty good alternative to "let's hold up a bug fix relates for an inordinate amount of time" (which most contributors don't have anyway). -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

pix_snap2tex: First frame garbled upon repeated launch?
by Peter P. 16 Nov '20

16 Nov '20

Hi list, having fun exploring Gem's [pix_snap2tex] object, I find that the first frame to be snapshot is garbled and displaying a green bang and the text "Pd" unless opened the first time (see screenshot). This is on Debian with Gem 0.94-3. Attaching a minimal working example. Can anyone confirm this and is it worth a bug report? Any good workarounds apart from adding things to the render chain which zero out the first snapshot frame etc? thanks and thanks! P

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Pd 0.513 test5 released (IOhannes m zm??lnig)
by Dan Wilcox 16 Nov '20

I was also hoping that would help. Ricky, then we need more info: * What's the machine? * What audio devices do you have? * Which devices are set for audio input and audio output? * Is Pd listed in the System Preferences app Security & Privacy panel's Privacy tab for the Microphone? * Did you try toggling off, then on the Microphone access privacy setting, and restarting Pd? I'm still running macOS 10.14 and the 10.15 machines at work are all out for use during the lockdown here, so I cannot test it personally. Miller, perhaps what we need is a better Portaudio error message as this may be unrelated to the permissions. I can look into that now. > On Nov 4, 2020, at 10:12 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2020 13:52:45 -0800 > From: Miller Puckette <msp(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:msp@ucsd.edu>> > To: Ricky Graham <rickygrahammusic(a)gmail.com <mailto:rickygrahammusic@gmail.com>> > Cc: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Pd 0.513 test5 released (IOhannes m > zm??lnig) > Message-ID: <20201103215245.GA578719(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:20201103215245.GA578719@ucsd.edu>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Well, hmm, Iwas hoping Dan's new entitlements declarations in info.plist > would take care of that. > > It has something to do with entitlements I think.... > > M > > > On Tue, Nov 03, 2020 at 04:35:23PM -0500, Ricky Graham wrote: >> Hi, Miller. >> >> I???m not sure if this build was in any way intended to address the error opening audio: Internal PortAudio issue I am receiving but unfortunately this error persists with your new test build on macOS Catalina 10.15.7.

Getting frequencies from chords
by topo bot 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

Hi, i need to automatically get all the frequencies from a chord. For example imagine i have chords as frequencies in messages: Chord1 = [195, 174, 146, 116, 58( Chord2 = [ 155, 130, 103, 87, 43( I want to do something like this: ?Chord1.giveMeAllFrequencies And then get a list with the frequencies Is it posible to automatically get all the frequencies that fit into each chord(all the frequencies that don't clash)? I dont know too much about musical theory and i know i can do this by ear , but is there an automatically way to get this? I hope is clear. Cheers
