Is it possible to specify relative path inside pd~ object for -pddir argument ?
by Jean-Yves Gratius 13 Jan '21

13 Jan '21

Hi, I'm trying to specify a relative path as argument in the pd~ object (using -pddir flag), in order to start a specific copy of pd application, located in a relative path, but without success. Did I miss any particular syntax ? PS : I want to write a camomile VST3 plugin that launches a pd subprocess via pd~, and I would like to include the pure data distribution inside my plugin folder structure. Thanks

[PD-announce] Camomile v1.0.8-beta
by Pierre Guillot 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Hello everyone! I published a new temporary version of Camomile: 1.0.8-beta4. <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/releases/tag/v1.0.8-beta4> This beta version should be stable (at least not less stable than the release 1.0.7). I'm sorry for the delay between each release but I didn't manage to do all the features and fixes that I wanted to do for the version 1.0.8 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/projects/12> yet. Anyway, as some changes were very expected I thought it would be better to publish this beta version without everything. Pd has been updated, so you can use the pd~ object (I tried and it seems to work well), and as Miller suggested, this can be used to patch directly in your DAW and to use externals! Chanelog: - Updates Pd to 0.51-4 - Fixes the "openpanel" and "savepanel" messages for on Linux #203 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/203> - Fixes the update of the parameters when the plugin is bypassed #199 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/199> - Fixes the range of the gatom number box #210 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/210> - Fixes the freeze of parameters when editing the gatom symbol and number boxes #207 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/207> - Improves the graphical table when using large size #196 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/196> - Fixes core dump when execute lv2_file_generator on arch linux #208 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/208> - Fixes readsf~ support #218 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/218> - Fixes fine-control mode for sliders (click & drag + shift) #222 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/222> - Fixes updates of the range of GUI using the "gui redraw" message #229 <https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/issues/229> Your feedback are appreciated! All the best, Pierre _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

netpd-windows stand-alone package doesn't work
by rolfm＠dds.nl 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Windows 10 i've downloaded and unpacked netpd-2.2.1-windows.zip. starting netpd.exe gives me a pd-console with the message ../netpd/main.pd: can't open. furthermore MY plugins are loaded. when i start the pd.exe of netpd and then open main.pd routeOSC, slipenc, slipdec, packOSC, dir cannot be loaded, because Pd is using MY standard folder at AppData\Roaming\Pd etc. and i just upgraded MY externals to 64-bits. rolf

set screen resolution from within Pd (Linux)
by Ingo 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

Hi there! Is it possible to set the screen resolution from within Pd in Debian (with or without externals)? If yes how? My problem is that some older mainboards automatically default to "1280x1024". If I set the screen size in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "1920x1080" it still shows everything with the lower "1280x1024" resolution. It actually doesn't respond to setting it to a lower resolution either . . . Not sure if I would need different graphic drivers for that. I'm on Debian-9.5.0-i386. Thank you! Ingo

(I am usually not one to try to do *everything* in Pd...) Another option is to create a small shell script which calls the xrandr line along with starting Pd and the project's main patch, assuming it's for an installation.. If you need to start Pd first, then probably add a small sleep after to give it time to open the windows. > On Jan 12, 2021, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Tue, 12 Jan 2021 10:22:34 +0100 > From: Roman Haefeli <reduzent(a)gmail.com <mailto:reduzent@gmail.com>> > To: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] set screen resolution from within Pd (Linux) > Message-ID: <da97c94252f08a1c61dc1bf371902622a88e9773.camel(a)gmail.com <mailto:da97c94252f08a1c61dc1bf371902622a88e9773.camel@gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi Ingo > > On Tue, 2021-01-12 at 05:46 +0100, Ingo wrote: > >> Is it possible to set the screen resolution from within Pd in Debian >> (with >> or without externals)? > > Yes. > >> If yes how? > > With something like (untested example specific to my setup): > > [xrandr --output eDP-1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00"( > | > [ggee/shell] -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

You can fix it in tcl/pd_menucommands.tcl by either trying the -fontmap option or changing the find-replace from "DejaVuSansMono" to "MenloRegular" https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/tcl/pd_menucommands.tcl#… <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/tcl/pd_menucommands.tcl#…> Right-click on the Pd-###.app and choose "Show package contents." The tcl scripts are in Contents/Resources/tcl. Edit the file and save, then (re)start the app to see any changes. Let us know what works. > On Jan 8, 2021, at 2:41 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2021 10:41:10 +0900 > From: Julián Villegas <villegas.julian(a)gmail.com <mailto:villegas.julian@gmail.com>> > To: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: [PD] Menlo in MacOS X > Message-ID: <BD8528B6-C603-4EAE-ADCC-BF779338FD83(a)gmail.com <mailto:BD8528B6-C603-4EAE-ADCC-BF779338FD83@gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > Hi, > > I use the print option of Pd to create PS files that I then convert to PDF when I need to share a program in a presentation, paper, etc. I use Preview most of the time, but I have also used Ghostscript for this process too.

Pd and sounds are running but windows are blank
by Dario Sanfilippo 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Hello, list. I'm giving a try to Pd double precision; I installed .51-4 using the autotools. My patch is running and producing signals, although all windows are blank. If I right-click, I can open the abstractions, blank again. I see a deprecation warning about Tk, any clue what the issue could be? Thanks for your help. -- Dr Dario Sanfilippo http://dariosanfilippo.com

by Roman Haefeli 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

Hi all The tool set tpf-client / tpf-server is used for low-latency, multi- channel and multi-location audio transmission and is built in Pd. A new version (1.1-beta1) is available. New features: * Support for rooms (allows many parallel sessions) * Ability to re-order peers in slots * Persistence of allocated slots (important for avoiding Jack re- routing) * Save and restore sessions (with all parameters and peer order) * Send keep-alive messages so that TCP connection doesn't die Client: https://github.com/reduzent/tpf-client Server: https://github.com/reduzent/tpf-server Enjoy!Roman _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] Menlo in MacOS X
by Dan Wilcox 08 Jan '21

It's an issue with Tk where the font name used in the output doesn't match that used by Postscript. I added a fix for this for DejaVu Sans Mono some years ago, but the quick change to Menlo missed this. I will add a check for Menlo with the find-replace code. > On Jan 8, 2021, at 11:34 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Fri, 08 Jan 2021 07:17:00 +0100 > From: IOhannes m zmölnig <zmoelnig(a)iem.at <mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at>> > To: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] Menlo in MacOS X > Message-ID: <F247B545-1CA1-4183-AEFB-A556AACB8C77(a)iem.at <mailto:F247B545-1CA1-4183-AEFB-A556AACB8C77@iem.at>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 > > Am 8.

fluid~ for Pd-Vanilla - test version
by Alexandre Torres Porres 08 Jan '21

08 Jan '21

Ok, we made lots of progress and now we have tests versions for macOS and Windows (32 and 64 bits). Here's for everyone to test if all the links for dynamic libraries are working :) https://github.com/porres/pd-fluidsynth/releases/tag/test-1 we still need to sort this for linux, write a better readme with build instructions and reorganize things so then we can upload it to deken as a final/oficial release. thanks for everyone who helped.
