Hi there, before I start trying to figure out something on my own I'd like to ask if someone knows of an external for removing a DC offset in realtime. Thanks! Ingo

I was silly enough not to check the praxis among other packages where I can see a multitude of them doing it the same way (by adding an additional file). I was thinking about the possibility of there being conflicts, in which case it would make sense to be as upstream as possible with this particular issue. /Kaj

From my side, there is no confusion: this was a separate repo for getting feedback on the updated icon. The finished icon renders were then added to the Pd source repo. I didn't see the need for putting everything in the main repo when the icon is likely not to change for a long time after. The mime type handling etc should be part of the auto tools set up or some sort of Linux/frteedesktop script in the main repo, probably in the platform specific linux folder with appropriate documentation. If it's a makefile, it could be located there with the needed build rules which are only applied on the needed platform, ie. `make mimetype`, and would be installed with the other files as needed (if they go into a generic free desktop-y location). > On Jul 16, 2021, at 4:23 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 16:21:01 -0700 > From: Miller Puckette <msp(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:msp@ucsd.edu>> > To: Max <abonnements(a)revolwear.com <mailto:abonnements@revolwear.com>> > Cc: "pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>" <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] Pd files on Linux: MIME type and (document) icons > Message-ID: <20210715232101.asaqljuayexz722g(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:20210715232101.asaqljuayexz722g@ucsd.edu>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii > > Hi all - > > This appears to be a PR to https://github.com/pure-data/pd-icon <https://github.com/pure-data/pd-icon> - but htere > seems to be confusion as to whether this should be part of pure data itself. > I think it wound be fine to have it in pure data - but I don't know if I should > just grab the files and stick them in pure-data or if that would cause trouble > somehow. > > cheers > M -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Something is weird with your system. In general, localhost should *always* be available. What happens when you run the following in Terminal with wifi off?

Re: [PD] sad news: RIP Martin Peach

I will chime and say the same. I *think* I met him at the PdCon in Montreal and I was already using his osc objects for a year by then. Everything else was online and overall helpful. Thanks for the code, the feedback, and all the fish.

Multiple audio outputs on a single-board computer ?
by Pierre Massat 14 Jul '21

14 Jul '21

Dear all, I haven't posted anything on this list in years. I'm trying to build a system to play several sound files in a loop, each around 2 minutes in length, all at the same time. By "several" I mean 10 to 15 different files. While I'd have no problem making a Pd patch to achieve this, I have no idea what hardware I could use. I have a limited budget, and I was planning on running Pd on a Raspberry Pi (or similar single-board computer). Is there any cheap way of outputing than many channels from a single (a couple of) RPi ? Thanks in advance, Pierre.

start pd + choose which settingsfile to load
by hans w. koch 11 Jul '21

11 Jul '21

(sorry for winded wording): on mac os 10.14 i regularily work in both “normal” vanilla and a version compiled for double. they both share the same settings file - no problem, if i don´t autoload some library but now for some reason i need to put zexy into auto loaded libs for vanilla. expectedly, this throws an error in double: "refusing to load 32bit-float object 'zexy' into 64bit-float Pd” so i saved an "autoload library" free settingsfile für my double. however, trying to launch with options as described in http://msp.ucsd.edu/Pd_documentation/x3.htm#s4 both /Applications/Pd-0.51.4double.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd -prefsfile /Users/hwk/Documents/Pd/settings_pd-double.pdsettings /Applications/Pd-0.51.4double.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd -noprefs fail with "unknown option: -prefsfile” or "unknown option: -noprefs”. thanks in advance for any pointers hans

notein midi, use only a range of notes...
by Simon Iten 09 Jul '21

09 Jul '21

hi list, what is the prefered vanilla way to set a range for the notein object? say i only want midi notes 40 to 60 to play a pitched sound in my patch, notes below and above would control other parameters of "the synth". i tried with two [moses] objects but it seems a bit convoluted and since i am dealing with a “list” of 3 values (pitch, velocity, channel) it is not very elegant. thanks
