Preset management for Pd Vanilla
by Alexandre Torres Porres 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Never really needed fancy preset management other than storing messages in a basic vanilla way. But I've seen people mention how Pd lacks a nice preset system. Not that I know what a fancy one actually needs since I never felt the demand. So I'm here to ask what people use in Pd Vanilla, be it a pure vanilla solution or an external. And also to ask what people miss. This is what I came up with as a pure vanilla abstraction, it's based on [text] and [savestate]. Here's the thing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A0ISEJo5F1E578WHM1doo1n2CJAthonU/view?usp=… In short, the preset abstraction takes messages and stores them. You can have many of these on your patch and use them to recall presets for any parameters. It takes any kind of messages. I'm making use of built-in sends and receives in the number boxes to make the patch cleaner. Just think that you can have separate control of each parameter having its own preset or group all of them together globally, or a group here and another there, whatever... Once you save the patch, the presets you saved get stored in the patch. As for my current idea for my ELSE library, I'm using an object similar to grab to take messages from [receive] objects. It's a development over this original vanilla abstraction. My first draft is this, I hope that sharing the screenshot give you a nice idea.

soundtouch~ for Pd Vanilla
by Alexandre Torres Porres 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi folks, I'm on a vibe of uploading missing libraries and objects for Pd Vanilla on deken. On the list I have FFTease, Lyonpotpourri, CICM-Tools and more stuff that I'm looking into, just so you know... Now, I see there's an old soundtouch~ external here: http://www.katjaas.nl/pitchshift/soundtouch~.html - it's "version 0.9" by Katja Vetter. It was developed with SoundTouch version 1.6 and Pure Data version 0.42. I tested on Pd 0.51-4 32 bits on mac and it works fine. There are binaries for download on the link above, but not for 64 bits. I wonder if anyone wants to help me build these with pd-lib-builder and all. Now, the ceammc librarym (and Pd-ceammc distribution) has a soundtouch~ external too. It's the same name, but not the same external, this one is marked as "version 0.1". So we do already have "a" soundtouch~ for vanilla, but I wanted to also get katja's external up there. So I just uploaded the download from that page here https://github.com/porres/pd-soundtouch - It's just the download as it is and we need to change to hopefully use pd-lib-builder, which would make things easier. I did try that and it didn't work. So, anyone onboard with this? 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

Re: [PD] unicode symbols and Pd
by Ingo 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

The way to send a lable to a canvas is by first going through a symbol box and the a [send "ToMyCanvasReceiveName"( . The canvas needs to be set up with the same receive name e.g. "ToMyCanvasReceiveName". In order to get text into the canvas you use [MyText( | [symbol] | [label $1( | [; "ToMyCanvasReceiveName"( BTW, I just tried replacing the pound sign [35( with unicode [8983( which is a pound sign for telephones. This works on the current Pd 0.51 but unfortunately not on my older 0.49 that I still have to use at the moment. It gives me the wrong replacement character as the character range still seems to be limited to maybe 256 characters or so on 0.49.

lookup table for midi usage
by Simon Iten 29 Jan '21

29 Jan '21

hello there, not strictly PD related, but (computer) music in general. i am trying to generate a 500 point look-up table in the range 0 to 127 (for midi usage) with the following shape: is there a tool for something like this? it is basically pseudo exponentially rising in the first 125 points and then decaying “sinuslike” for the next 375 points. the final lookup table will be used for a teensy based midi controller and should be in a c array stucture (comma separated) lookup_table[500] { 0,1,2,3,4, etc…. };

Re: [PD] Pd and sounds are running but windows are blank
by Dan Wilcox 26 Jan '21

Do *not* install Pd to a system path unless you are using a newer version of Tcl/Tk as the included 8.5.9 is quite broken: blank windows, etc. As noted in INSTALL.txt: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/INSTALL.txt#L268 <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/INSTALL.txt#L268> I know this is tempting, especially for those coming from Linux, but there are a number of issues with using Pd on macOS like this, including application defaults keys not working as launching a Tk script for the command line will not connect it to app bundle plist settings which are included within a Pd .app, etc. If you want to invoke Pd on the command line, I recommend using a shell alias as documented in INSTALL.txt as well. The safest bet is to build a Pd .app using "make app" although I'm not sure if the included pre-build Tcl/Tk Wish .app is up to date with Miller's releases yet: make make app This results in a Pd-0.51-4.app in the main Pd source tree. I'd recommend right-clicking and renaming it to "Pd-0.51-4-double.app" if you have multiple versions on the same machine. Also, the deprecation warning is from the system (macOS) and not from Pd. It basically means that Apple will remove the included Tcl/Tk from macOS in the future. Note: It is still shipped with macOS 11 but is unfortunately the broken 8.5.9 version. > On Jan 11, 2021, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 3 > Date: Sun, 10 Jan 2021 17:18:24 +0100 > From: Dario Sanfilippo <sanfilippo.dario(a)gmail.com <mailto:sanfilippo.dario@gmail.com>> > To: Christof Ressi <info(a)christofressi.com <mailto:info@christofressi.com>> > Cc: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] Pd and sounds are running but windows are blank > Message-ID: > <CALWGsHi27MchRfCxstS06Bwh4K1JPaVE_+cLWdXF5D8LoHVhPw(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CALWGsHi27MchRfCxstS06Bwh4K1JPaVE_+cLWdXF5D8LoHVhPw@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > My apologies, Christof, I forgot. :-) > > That's right, I'm on 10.15.7.

Hi all Is there a reason why symbol atoms add a backslash in front of spaces? Why is the display showing the escape mechanism? Roman
