moocow string2any
by marco 24 Mar '21

24 Mar '21

Hello! I am trying to migrate a Pduino Patch from pd-extended to Pd-Vanilla and the only object that is missing is "moocow/string2any". (A weird thing is that on Linux I was able to find moocow in the external search from pd-vanilla, but on Windows I am not.) However, I wanted to ask if there is a possibiliy to substitude the function of "string2any" with a more common PD Operation or something I can still find in the externals. Big thanks! Marco

Sample loop - start and end point (WAV files)
by Ingo 09 Nov '20

09 Nov '20

Hi everybody, I know it had been a problem in the past to read out the loop information of wav samples. I have not followed any further development since years. Is there anything (like an external) that can read the loop points of .wav samples by now? If not has anybody been successful reading the header information with something like [mrpeach/binfile]? I know that loop points can be stored somwhere or somehow in the header. Unfortunately I cannot see from the Microsoft WAVE soundfile format where the loop points would be or find any information on it. http://soundfile.sapp.org/doc/WaveFormat/ Any ideas? Am I looking at the wrong file header type? Up until now I had been creating loops by copying the loop start and end point manually from the readings of SoundForge. However, I'm going to need a method soon that can read the loop points directly from the samples. Thanks! Ingo

pd~ binary for max/msp
by cyrille henry 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

Hello, Does anyone know where I can find the pd~ object compiled for max/MSP on OSX? I don't have any apple computer, nor max/MSP, but I have to work on a project that should run on this configuration. pd~ source code is made to be compiled for max, so I hope I can use it but can't find any binary online. thanks Cyrille

installing pd via apt-get
by Alexandre Torres Porres 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hi, I'm trying to install puredata from apt-get, but all I can find is something called puredata-core, which comes from a bunch of externals, and I dont want that. Is there a way to just install pd vanilla with apt-get? And while we're at it, I see that puredata-core has cyclone, but an old version, how can Iinclude the latest cyclone? I also see that there are libraries that were not part of pd extended in this, so maybe I could include as well my other library (else)? But how? thanks

The "Times" and "Helvetica" font-families are more, or less, standard on most platforms and fall back to near-equivalent "Serif" and "Sans-Serif" fonts. This has been well-established for a while and also holds true as both of these are considered "web-safe font" families, ie. more or less guaranteed to be available on most web browsers: https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp <https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_websafe_fonts.asp> "Times New Roman", Times, serif Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif What you are probably seeing is that those *specific* fonts are not always available due to licensing, as buying macOS or Windows usually includes licensing for some 3rd party fonts while using a free system may not, a fall back is provided that is similar but not exactly the same. > Perhaps this can be taken care just by mentioning > in the documentation somewhere (if you don't have times/helvetica > installed, similar fonts are loaded). It could be added to the existing font/README.txt: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/font/README.txt <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/font/README.txt> > It doesn't seem worth doing more than > that and trying to ship the same group of 3 fonts like we're doing with > dejavu, right? We could do that by shipping DejaVu Sans and DejaVu Serif https://dejavu-fonts.github.io <https://dejavu-fonts.github.io/> "DejaVu Serif", "Times New Roman", Times, serif "DejaVu Sans", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif Or, alternatively, choose a "safer fonts" than Helvetica and Times but I feel that will still not guarantee as close a match as using the exact same font on all platforms. As we have seen, it's working relatively well with DejaVu Sans Mono. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

MIDI woes (with and without Sensel Morph) Linux ALSA MIDI
by Max 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

Hi list, I have some issues which I came across using a Sensel Morph with MIDI. Pd seems to stall frequently for no apparent reason. So I played around with the issue until I managed to get a reproducible setup with only two instances of Pd sending MIDI Control values from one instance to another. The fascinating thing is that it runs nicely for hours. However just closing the sending patch can freeze the receiving Pd instance. An animated Gif of the problem can be found here: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/895 Any ideas how to remedy the situation? unfortunately the Sensel morph external doesn't seem ready yet. https://github.com/sensel/PD-objects M.

raw mouse
by michael strohmann 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

hi, i am stuck, trying to get raw mouse data in to pd. was succesfull in pd-extended with hans steiners HID objects, but i cant make them work in vanilla (preferrably on a raspberry...) or is there a different method nowadays, to get mouse-speed and direction unconstrained by screen size ? [MouseState] stops once the end of the screen is reached…. thanks! michael
