Question on [signmund~] tracks with 0 amplitude
by João Pais 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

Hello list, I'm trying out [sigmund~], and wanted to confirm something related to results I'm getting. When using the patch doc/4.data.structures/14.partialtracer (and also a derivate patch of mine), I get lots of tracks with 0 amplitude as result of the analysis. The settings are [sigmund~ -t -npts 1024 -npeak 40 -maxfreq 8000 peaks tracks] in the help file, and [sigmund~ -t -npts 2048 -npeak 200 tracks] in my patch. When comparing the result of the analysis with a spectrogram of the sample, the frequency content does match - the tracks with 0 amplitude don't exist in the sample, i.e. they're silence. My doubt is, is it normal to have tracks with 0 amplitude? Or is there something wrong with the analysis settings? (if these tracks are a derivative of [sigmund~], that's fine, I can filter and delete them afterwards) Best, jmmmp

GUI external with alpha channel (tcl/tk alternative)?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

So, Tcl/Tk can't offer us an anpha channel for things like iemguis. But what if I want to write an external that does that? For cyclone, for instance, there could be an alpha channel for opacity/transparency, as the original ones have in Max. I assume I'd have to use some other language as an alternative and so I'd like to ask for hints on which and also if it is even possible (I'm rather clueless, sorry). I see Purr Data, which uses NW.js, offers an alpha channel, could I supposedly code an external that uses such a language and load it in Pd Vanilla? How? Sorry if I'm asking too basic and vague questions... cheers

changing line width in Gem
by Csaba Láng 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

Dear list, is there any chance to change the width of the lines when you send the message [draw line( to any of the geometrical objects? I think it is 1px by default, but looking for a solution to make it bigger. Thanks in advance, Popesz

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).

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/>

including bpm info to midi-recording
by Jakob Laue 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

Hey list, I have a patch that plays melodies with midi notes. The patch also records the melodies into midi files for later use. The recording is done with [midiformat] and [seq] from the cyclone-library, like this |60[ | | [makenote 100 500] | | | | [pack f f] | | [midiformat] | | [seq] [seq] receives "record" , "stop record" and "write" messages for recording and saving the midi files. My problem is that when I copy the recorded midi file into a daw, the melody's tempo and onsets do not match with the metronome in the daw. Do you know if there is a way to somehow capture the bpm of the melody in pd into the recorded midi-file? The [seq] object knows a [tick[ message, but I have not figured that out yet. I definitely could calculate a bpm from my [metro] in the patch, but I don't know how to get that into the midi-recording. Maybe someone of you has already dealt with this?! :-) Thanks! Jakob

Dropdown Menu external?
by Ingo 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

Hi everybody and Happy Easter! Does anybody know an external that opens a dropdown menu when clicking on it? It would be necessary that it reads the content from a file in case that the content changes while Pd is running. Thanks! ingo

Binaries are available on Deken or can be downloaded here: https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/-/releases If possible, please report any issues at https://git.iem.at/pd/vstplugin/issues Have fun and stay healthy! Christof --- Changelog - features * implement missing SMPTE support for VST2 and VST3 plugins * implement missing MIDI clock sample offset for VST3 plugins (already implemented for VST2 plugins) - bug fixes * fix tiny VST editor window with certain plugins (rare) * fix bug in VST3 host message binary attribute (used by certain plugins, like FabFilter, to transmit large visualization data) _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce
