Re: [PD] Pd 52.2 different font in console?
by Philip Stone 10 Apr '22

10 Apr '22

Hi Alex, As Iohannes kindly replied when I last brought this up, there is now a solution for this: Put a file named "mypdwindowgeometry-plugin.tcl" (the base-name does not matter but it *must* end with "-plugin.tcl") with the following content into your Pd-searchpath (without the backticks): ``` if {[winfo exists .pdwindow]} { wm geometry .pdwindow =538x300+0+458 } ``` Change those four values to match your desired console window size and placement.

Pd 52.2 different font in console?
by rolfm＠dds.nl 08 Apr '22

08 Apr '22

hi, i just upgraded from 52.1 to 52.2 on Windows 10. i noticed: first: text in Pd-console looks much clearer. then: in 52.1 (and before(?)) the font in the Pd-console was different from the one in the patches. now in 52.2 the font in the console and in the patches seems the same, BUT the patches look like having an ugly bold version. i was used to that, but of course now i would like to have the same clear image as in the console. rolf

Re: [PD] Question about [mrpeach/midifile] status
by Dan Wilcox 07 Apr '22

07 Apr '22

Howdy David, after Martin Peach's unfortunate passing, his externals have been mirrored on GitHub in the pd-externals group: https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach <https://github.com/pd-externals/mrpeach> These externals are used by a great number of people and I do not considered them abandoned. I would suggest opening an issue on this repo and continuing the discussion there. > On Apr 6, 2022, at 11:54 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Tue, 5 Apr 2022 16:50:47 -0400 > From: David <dfkettle(a)gmail.com <mailto:dfkettle@gmail.com>> > To: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] Question about [mrpeach/midifile] status > Message-ID: > <CAHmD6-jcwV_R2cExQy8_=RYHBc5-P4T7=jtzPLj188bZeaHtWw(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAHmD6-jcwV_R2cExQy8_=RYHBc5-P4T7=jtzPLj188bZeaHtWw@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Hi! > > Is anyone still supporting the MrPeach external, in particular, > [mrpeach/midifile]?

[PD-announce] Most recent Pd packaged for Ubuntu (and derivatives)
by Roman Haefeli 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Hi I added the current version of Pure Data to my personal package archive (PPA), so that it is finally possible to get a recent version of Pd on Ubuntu without compiling. Kudos goes to IOhannes who maintains the puredata package on Debian and who makes sure that the most recent release of Pd is available in the backports repository. His work enabled me to just¹ get his package sources and push them to my PPA. I also rewrote the "How to install on Debian/Ubuntu" FAQ page on puredata.into who was referring to the retired apt.puredata.info repo and Pd-extended. You find instructions on how to get the most recent version of Pd on Debian and on Ubuntu here: https://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian Roman ¹well, a little work was necessary... _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

PdParty GUI color bug
by Dan Wilcox 06 Apr '22

06 Apr '22

Howdy all, for those using PdParty on iOS: newer versions of Pd now save the IEM GUIs using a hex color format. The current version of PdParty on the app store does not handle this correctly as it expects the old integer color format. This results in colorless widgets which may/may not send/receive correctly. I will put out a new PdParty release soonish. In the meantime, I've posted a workaround explaining how to manually edit the patch file and replace the color values: https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/issues/93 <https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/issues/93> -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Question about [mrpeach/midifile] status
by David 05 Apr '22

05 Apr '22

Hi! Is anyone still supporting the MrPeach external, in particular, [mrpeach/midifile]? I've had no luck creating MIDI files, except for the most trivial of examples. If I try to play back the file, I just get a stream of error messages like the following: midifile: No running status on track 0 at 957 And if I try to play it back using [cyclone/seq], I get the following error messages: seq's warning: missing running status in midi file... skip to end of track seq's warning: no valid miditracks And if I try to play the file with Windows Media Player, I get the following error: Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file. I'd like to use [mrpeach/midifile] rather than [cyclone/seq] because it seems to have more features (ability to specify track numbers, save meta-data, etc.). But if nobody is supporting it any more, maybe I'll just forget it. I've posted questions on the forum ( https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/), but so far I haven't been able to solve the problem. Also, if anyone knows of more extensive examples of its use than what's in the help file, that might be helpful too. But so far, Google hasn't turned up any. Thanks.

why units per pixel: -1 by default on subpatches?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Hi, I believe this must have been discussed before... it's surely known. I wonder why when you add a subpatch the 'scale' section has an inverted "-1" scale for the vertical axis. This is particularly bad for display data structures and needs to be corrected by hand. Should I open a request to change this default parameter? cheers

minimum delay time for delread4~
by Orm Finnendahl 04 Apr '22

04 Apr '22

Hi, the help of delread4~ states the "delay time is at least one sample", but it seems the lower limit is one block (and the lowest blocksize I can use on linux seems to be 64 samples). I assume this is related to the dsp scheduling order introducing one sample block latency. The pd sources (d_delay.c) suggests to me that latency compensation in the signal chain is taken care of, but I'm hitting a wall on my machine. For a flanger-like application this means the highest obtainable frequency here is 689 Hz at 44100 samplerate, which limits its usability. Attached is a patch to demonstrate the highest obtainable frequency (here it is somewhere around f'' or Midi 78). Can someone check whether this is a general problem or it is only on my machine? I tested with newest pd (0.52) and 0.50. -- Orm
