[hidio] on Windows 11?
by Peter P. 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi, trying to help someone to use [hidio] on Windows11 with a USB game controller. The object loads fine, prints the device list but throws an error therein for device 18: [hidio] ERROR: Could not get HID attributes. Trying to open random devices (as I can't figure out the correct number from the above print result) I get errors such as: [hidio]: could not get device #5: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. (32) or [hidio] could not device 4 or the object crashes Pd. Is anyone successfully using hid, is there some permissions issues with windows and HID devices? Thanks! Peter

verbose object search paths not displaying unless debug4?
by Peter P. 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi list, I am trying to trace the non-loading of an external, iemguts in my case. I enabled verbose messages either in the "Path" preferences or by the command line flag. Nevertheless the familiar dump of all the places that are being searched is not displayed unless I enable verbose mode 4. Is this intentional and has this behavior been modified recently? thanks! P

Pd download pages are down

Hi, Just wanted to report that at the moment there is no way to download Pd from: * http://puredata.info/downloads/pure-data * http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.html because these seem to be both "broken".

computer or patch problems
by Hans Roels 19 Jan '23

19 Jan '23

Hi, Could someone with a recent, fast computer check if my synth patch still has audio glitches? I'm not sure if my computer or the patch is the problem... Download the files on www.hansroels.be/mim.html , open main-mimba.pd and open preset 19. Try playing more than 4 notes simultaneously. In these cases I hear a kind of death-rattle, a combination of crackles and detuned tones (and the message 'audio I/O error'). The patch is quite heavy (physical modelling with many delay buffers in subpatches with blocksize 1). My laptop: intel i7 CPU @ 2.60GHz, 16GB ram. Changing my buffer settings in jack didn't really make a difference... thanks in advance! Hans

Hi, I tried your patch on my laptop... first and second notes I play have a very nice sound! Starting from 3rd or 4th note also on my laptop I have very bad audio crackles and I have to quit the patch before to going crazy :-) My laptop: i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz, 32 GB RAM,Windows 10 Pro Please keep us posted: in case you can fix it, I will use your synth in my jams!

Filter help patches typos
by Peter P. 18 Jan '23

18 Jan '23

Hi, just want to mention two typos: rzero~-help.pd mentions that this was a "recursive" filter. Maybe this is a copy+paste error from rpole~-help? The difference equation in biquad~-help.pd gives an x[n-3] instead of x[n-2] cheersz, P

Old patch unable to run
by Chuckk Hubbard 17 Jan '23

17 Jan '23

Hello. This is from 2007. A complete microtonal sequencer in Pd, with 8 voices, copy-paste, tempo control, soundfont loading, etc. I know I used cyclone, Gem and zexy. I also used the csoundapi~ object, but I don't think it was essential, as the .csd file itself is invalid, so I probably never incorporated that. I updated to the csound6~ object; but I don't think this is a show-stopper. I have two vexing errors, shown in the images: this [tot score] object and the Tcl error. I seem to think this [tot] object was also from an external, but I'm not seeing any hints in the lists of externals. It appears to be routing mouse/keyboard messages, real or artificially generated, no? Chuckk [image: JI-Pd-Errors.png][image: JI-totscore.png][image: JI-main.png]

Re: [PD] Pd-list Digest, Vol 214, Issue 17 re dwt~, etc
by Paul Pignon 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Yes, thanks, that worked, embarrassingly enough though I cannot remember how I had it working before I was obliged to reinstall Debian. I did not have any [declare ] object in any patch previously. I had a similar problem with freeverb~ which worked fine in the previous incarnation, solved now via Find Externals in pd (btw the ~ is essential, freeverb gets no hits).

[PD-announce] plugdata v0.6.4 out now!
by Tim Schoen 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Hi everyone! I’ve never officially posted here yet about plugdata, so here we go! plugdata v0.6.4 is out now, you can get it here: https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata/releases/tag/v0.6.4 Alexandre Porres informed you a few days ago about v0.6.3, this version fixes some of the most important bugs we encountered in there. plugdata is a Pd flavour with a new GUI made with JUCE, and the ability to run both standalone or as a VST3/AU/LV2 plugin in any DAW. It comes with the ELSE and cyclone libraries built-in. You can set up your own themes and keyboard shortcuts, it has a built-in package manager (similar to Deken), and most objects/inlets/outlets have tooltips that inform you on how to use that object. The recent versions also integrates with the Heavy compiler, to allow exporting patches directly to Electro-Smith Daisy, audio plugins, or C++ code.

dwt~
by Paul Pignon 16 Jan '23

16 Jan '23

Just reinstalled Debian 11 (got really wonky), now missing lots of pd stuff. Need dwt~, not in creb anymore, though dwt~help.pd is there, oddly enough. Can anyone tell me where to look? Grateful for any help. /Paul -- Paul [Stephen] Pignon The DP Works HB Södra Jordbrovägen 177/II 13762 Jordbro Sweden +46 729311141,[+46 705508655]
