some new objects for MPE Midi is on Max's new update, just googled it to see what it was http://expressiveness.org/2015/04/24/midi-specifications-for-multidimension… wonder if you guys know anything about this and if anyone would be into bringing this to Pd. cheers

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

quacktrip - jacktrip (low-latency audio) from behind home routers
by Miller Puckette 19 Oct '20

19 Oct '20

To Pd list - This is very preliminary, but some of you might be interested in this. I've been working for the last month or two on making an easy-ti-use implementation of jacktrip to allow people stuck at home to play music together. A test version of this is available on msp.ucsd.edu/tools/quacktrip . The jacktrip implementation is based on the one in TPM by Roman Haefeli and Johannes Schuett (sorry for the no-diacritical spelling). It's been tried out by 4 or 5 people so far, seems to work with some hiccups. I'll be getting back to work on it after Pd 0.51-0 gets finalized. cheers Miller

Concatenating two atoms into one?
by jayrope 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

Hello list, I want to combine integer values from two sources into ONE new value, preferably a number, just like Source 1 sends 1, source 2 sends 1, result = 11 Src 3 sends 3, src 2 sends 8, result = 38 and so on. Example patch below. A resulting message combines two values, but doesn't forward anything to a subsequent float or number object. (OSX 10.9.5, PD 0.50-2) #N canvas 405 254 606 341 12; #X obj 31 23 hsl 128 15 1 4 0 0 empty empty empty -2 -8 0 10 -262144 -1 -1 1200 0; #X obj 178 23 hsl 128 15 1 4 0 0 empty empty empty -2 -8 0 10 -262144 -1 -1 3900 0; #X obj 204 133 pack 1 1; #X obj 28 73 f; #X obj 28 43 i; #X obj 175 43 i; #X floatatom 186 229 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 204 181 11; #X msg 204 157 set \$1\$2; #X obj 186 205 float; #X obj 175 79 t b b f; #X connect 0 0 4 0; #X connect 1 0 5 0; #X connect 2 0 8 0; #X connect 3 0 2 0; #X connect 4 0 3 0; #X connect 5 0 10 0; #X connect 7 0 9 0; #X connect 8 0 7 0; #X connect 9 0 6 0; #X connect 10 0 9 0; #X connect 10 1 3 0; #X connect 10 2 2 1; would appreciate a hint.

[pii2c] keeps and resends previous messages when addresses change
by Alexandros 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

When trying to send messages to two I2C slaves from the Pi with [pii2c] the following happens: If I send this message to [pii2c 0x0A]: "write 3 127 7" it arrives properly at the slave address 0x0A. If I change the address to 0x09 with the message "addr 0x09" and then send this message: "write 97" then both messages will be sent to the respective slaves, meaning that "3 127 7" will be sent to slave 0x0A and "97" to slave 0x09. If I then change the message sent to 0x09 to "98", this will be sent to 0x09, but again "3 127 7" will be sent to 0x0A. If I resend "3 127 7" to 0x0A, "98" (the last message set to 0x09) will be sent to 0x09 as well. The same behavior occurs when I send the message "write 0x09 98". The same behavior also occurs if I use two different [pii2c] objects, like this: [write 3 127 7( | [pii2c 0x0A] [write 97( | [pii2c 0x09]

Number of the available midi ports shown
by Maximiliano Estudies 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Dear list, I recently stumbled on a problem with the number of available midi interfaces shown under _midi settings_. I am using four different keyboards, three of them connected via USB Midi and one over a ESI M8U Midi interface. I also need 4 internal IAC MIDI Buses. My problem is that the ESI interface has 16 ports that are shown as different devices, and Pd shows only the first 21 available devices, so when the interface is connected I can't select some of the other keyboards as inputs because they are not shown in the drop-down list. I only need the first port of the ESI interface and I can't disable the rest in the audio-midi config, and this is the only interface I have. Would it be possible to extend the drop-down menu to all the devices? I'm using Pd-0.50 on OSX Sierra (10.12).

Re: [PD] Number of the available midi ports shown
by Dan Wilcox 01 Oct '20

I'd recommend not choosing inputs directly in Pd, but use IAC MIDI busses and then route the hard device to them with something like MIDI Patchbay. I use this all the time, but then again I am not using as many simultaneous interfaces as you are. http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/ <http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/> > On Sep 30, 2020, at 12:11 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 19:23:00 +0200 > From: Maximiliano Estudies <maxiestudies(a)gmail.com <mailto:maxiestudies@gmail.com>> > To: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] Number of the available midi ports shown > Message-ID: > <CAF358wQKQiH0RtTsy6Lv8jTB1vK0psDk20Q+n_=Ua1aD9vFq0Q(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAF358wQKQiH0RtTsy6Lv8jTB1vK0psDk20Q+n_=Ua1aD9vFq0Q@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Dear list, > > I recently stumbled on a problem with the number of available midi > interfaces shown under _midi settings_.

Helvetica Font in Debian 9.5 - Location?
by Ingo 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Hi, I need to edit the Helvetica Font (or any other one) in Debian for cosmetic reasons. I need underscores in names and it looks really ugly on the screen. I used to put something just over these underscore lines but this cuts off some of the lower pixels. It also is extremely messy since always the last object is on top. So if I edit the text the lines are back. What I want to do is editing one of the fonts that are available with underscores being displayed as blank characters. However, I do not know the location of the font that needs to be edited. I. e. where Pd is loading it from. Thanks for helping me to find it! Ingo
