looking for a simple eq
by Jakob Laue 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Dear list, I am looking for a simple equalizer abstraction, preferably vanilla, but can be part of an external library, too! Actually I just need simple low-cutting from low to high frequencies and/or high-cutting from high to low. A visual representation would be great. Do you know where I can find one? Thank you, Jakob

Biased waveform display?
by jayrope 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

A quick question: In Vanilla, is it possible to bias solely the display of a waveform in an array in such a manner, that lower volumes visibly appear louder than they are? Or can i only do that by copying the data into a second array and altering such data to fit my display needs? Very dynamic audio often would love such a display feature here, however without touching the actual data - and copying large arrays of audio likes to incite dsp dropouts. Thank you in advance for your expertise, -- jayrope +++ https://jayrope.com https://aircushionfinish.com +++ social media https://mastodon.online/@jayrope

Alternative for array to show curves?
by Ingo 10 Oct '22

10 Oct '22

Hello everyone! I'm having trouble on the Raspberry Pi 4 with showing arrays reliably with Pd 0.51 and Raspbian OS. I must say that the patch is a graphical synth editor with over 500 parameters. So it's quite large which could be part of the problem. It takes 5-8 seconds on the Pi to open it. I tried setting the Pi's graphics memory from the default of 64 MB to 256 MB but this did not change anything, though! When opening the editor patch all graphics - like number boxes, etc. - might or might not work for the first time. When reopening it one or several times most standard graphical objects like number boxes, faders, radio buttons etc. stop to updates their graphics. So do the arrays! After they are disabled once they are guaranteed to not work anymore until I restart. I have already spent countless hours in replacing number boxes and faders with using canvases on top of the number boxes and faders. Instead of radio buttons I use dropdown menus. The number boxes and faders do actally work and send values but do not update their graphics. So I'm sending their output to a canvas on top of the number box for displaying their values now - which actually looks better! All graphics are working now like this on the Raspberry Pi - with the exception of the still missing arrays that I need for showing MIDI CC curves. Let me add that I had never any issues like that on Intel or AMD processors over the last 10 years. It only happens on the Paspberry Pi. The same software always runs flawlessly on these other systems updating all graphics normally as they should. ___ What I'm looking for now as my last problem solver is an external that will be able to show simple curves. Is there anything that is not based on TCL/TK? (I'm suspecting TCL/TK to treat all of these objects like being unvisable in the background and disabling their graphics - but I'm not sure.) Or would there possibly be a way to send curves instead of just text to a canvas? Alternatively a way to reenable the graphical update would work as well. Data structures might be an option. Can someone point me to tutorials for data structers? I know that I still have the option to make a namber of gifs that could be recalled with [image] but that's my last resort for now. Thanks for any suggestion! Ingo

Before you rewrite the whole thing, maybe it's a bug on the platform...? Another option is not to use the Pd GUI at all and make a custom GUI using OpenGL via something like SDL or OpenFrameworks, then communicate with Pd via networking / OSC. IN fact, you could avoid the desktop GUI altogether and get some graphics mem, CPU, and RAM back. That is my preferred approach for embedded where I'm using Pd for audio and mappings but do not need to patch once things are prepared. > On Oct 9, 2022, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > > Let me add that I had never any issues like that on Intel or AMD processors > over the last 10 years. > > It only happens on the Paspberry Pi. > > The same software always runs flawlessly on these other systems updating all > graphics normally as they should. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Question re comport on Raspberry Pi
by kerry l. hagan 07 Oct '22

07 Oct '22

Hi all, This is going to be a stupid question for all of you, but please know that I have scoured Google for this answer, and I still can’t figure it out. I’m running a patch on a Raspberry Pi Model B+ V1.2 from 2014. My collaborator needs the patch to use a comport object to speak to an Arduino. I cannot get the comport source code to compile on the Pi. I don’t know enough to understand the error (that’s coming from ld) no matter how much I read. I cannot get Deken to install (as I’ve been told I could get the comport object that way). I use apt-get install - and it returns no errors. But when I try to run Deken, I get ’Self-installation of Deken failed’ Here’s os-release: PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye)" NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="11" VERSION="11 (bullseye)" VERSION_CODENAME=bullseye ID=raspbian ID_LIKE=debian HOME_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/" SUPPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianForums" BUG_REPORT_URL="http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianBugs” I’m running Vanilla Pd 0.51.4 So my burning question is: how can an eejit like me get a functioning comport object into Pd? Thanks in advance, Kerry

[hidraw] pre Deken release. was:(Reading/writing a HID device current best practice?)
by Lucas Cordiviola 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hi all, Next week or so i'll hopefully release hidraw. An object that reads raw bytes from HIDs. Can anyone test this builds on a mac M1 with arm64 or a Monterey x64 intel? https://nc.nubegris.com.ar/index.php/s/Rk7HRq67eCqF7kQ i'm not sure if i did correctly the code sign. (the object seems to work on my monterey VM). If anyone (not on macOS) is willing to test the above link also has Linux and Windows binaries. feedback is welcomed. -- -- Mensaje telepatico asistido por maquinas.

Howdy Oliver, Actually, use the pure-data develop branch. I don't believe Miller has merged this fix into master yet. If you are unsure about building Pd yourself, I could possibly make a test build tonight. > On Oct 6, 2022, at 10:22 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 3 > Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2022 10:22:25 +0200 > From: Christof Ressi <info(a)christofressi.com <mailto:info@christofressi.com>> > To: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] PD 0.52 bug ? ...

You also need to notarize binaries, not just codesign. I am actually working on a Makefile which automates mac-specific distribution stuff like this and I can send you a link once I have it finalized. > On Oct 6, 2022, at 4:42 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 4 > Date: Thu, 6 Oct 2022 11:41:43 -0300 > From: Lucas Cordiviola <lucarda27(a)hotmail.com <mailto:lucarda27@hotmail.com>> > To: William Brent <william.brent(a)gmail.com <mailto:william.brent@gmail.com>> > Cc: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] [hidraw] pre Deken release. was:(Reading/writing a > HID device current best practice?) > Message-ID: > <DS7PR10MB484596A77FB235B559CE1D11A65C9(a)DS7PR10MB4845.namprd10.prod.outlook.com <mailto:DS7PR10MB484596A77FB235B559CE1D11A65C9@DS7PR10MB4845.namprd10.prod.outlook.com>> > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > Hi William, > > Thanks for the test.

Pd as a VST on Wine
by Chris McCormick 06 Oct '22

06 Oct '22

Hey all, Back in the day I used to run Modplug Tracker (OpenMPT) on Wine and have Pd as a VST via the pdvst~ plugin. These days when I try this I get crashes and segfaults. I have tried several of the new plugins but none of them work except Camomile which has a bug where it won't find the patch due to weird paths. I know it's a long shot but does anybody have a working setup with Pd as a VST under Wine and can help? Cheers, Chris. -- https://mccormick.cx/
