[PD-announce] PlugData 0.6.3 is out!
by Alexandre Torres Porres 15 Jan '23

15 Jan '23

PlugData 0.6.3 is out and it includes the latest ELSE 1.0 rc6! You know PlugData, this amazing fork of Pure Data with a MAX like interface coded in JUCE which also runs as a plugin in any DAW (VST/AU/LADSPA) on any OS (Mac/Win/Linux)! Version 0.6.3 is just out, see https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata/releases/tag/v0.6.3 This software supports and includes my ELSE library for Pure Data, which now has 473 objects and counting! It is not fully supported yet, with still a few missing GUI objects, but the plan is to fully support it until PlugData 1.0 is out. It also includes the Cyclone library, which clones objects from MAX (so it's an entry door for MAX users) and it's another library I take care of.

curly braces in Pd
by Alexandre Torres Porres 13 Jan '23

13 Jan '23

Hi, so, I 'm working with OSC and found out in the specifications you can use something like /{foo,bar} to mach either /foo or /bar as addresses. I was able to use something like [list tosymbol] to generate '{' and '}' and I see that these can be stored in messages in Pd files. In fact, you can also type them inside a [text] object's window (even tough Pd's window says 'keycode 123/125: dropped'). I see it gets saved unescaped, as in: #X msg 100 82 {; I'm aware curly braces were never supported and this has been discussed many times, but I couldn't easily find recent information why this is a problem. It's funny that as I see it now (and I didn't know) it that this is "half" supported. It's not that you can't use them or save in patches, it's just hard and you need ninja tricks. So, why can't Pd just support this? thanks

[PD-announce] ELSE 1.0 rc6 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out! Lua support and Stay tuned for PlugData 0.6.3
by Alexandre Torres Porres 10 Jan '23

10 Jan '23

ELSE 1.0 rc6 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out! This is a quick update, coming quite sooner than I wanted from the last release, which was also just released to end the year. The reason I updated this one was to coordinate this release with an update of PlugData by Timothy Schoen! Another excuse to release this is to celebrate the 6th anniversary of ELSE development. I guess most of you know but it doesn't hurt to stress it out. PlugData is an awesome fork of Pd, still under a 'pre-release' phase (to end when a proper 1.0 version is out). It has a fancy GUI and is completely compatible to Pd-Vanilla. It ships with ELSE and Cyclone (so MAX users get an entry door). What's also amazing is that PlugData runs as a plugin in any DAW! There's been a great collaboration between me and PlugData people. This means ELSE behaves as some sort of "*All batteries included*" for PlugData, but not all of ELSE's GUI objects have been ported yet. For some time I've been adding a few objects to ELSE from requests by Tim and PlugData users and Tim has also added new objects to ELSE. I recently got requests to include OSC support in ELSE, as well as support for LUA, so I did it and this is supposed to be available in PlugData 0.6.3 coming out soon. For the first time, I am just including an existing third party external (pdlua) into ELSE. I will try not to make any modifications and keep the same name and compatibility. I will try... let's see... I am using Albert Graef's repository as a basis and just included its new 0.11.1 release, see https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua/releases This kinda felt onto my lap as Tim is really concerned with compatibility and doesn't want to support anything other than ELSE and Cyclone. For a detailed changelog of ELSE and the Live Electronics Tutorial, see https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-rc6 ELSE is already available in deken for the main architectures and you find more options in the link above. For the next update of ELSE I hope I take more time and include the things I already wanted to for the last release. An attempt at a PlugData 0.6.3 release was already made today but it isn't really working well, I will reply and write back when it's really ok and safe to download it, stay tuned. I think this thing is awesome and kind of a game changer for the Pd world.

PD/Win7/64 ... iemgui crashing PD
by oliver 05 Jan '23

05 Jan '23

Hi, here's my system PD > 0.51 WIN 7 / 64bit IEMGUI v. 1.21-1 (from 13.09.22) i just discovered, that on any PD version > 0.51, PD crashes when any object from the [iemgui] library is being created. (the loading of the library itself works OK !) =============================================================== Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: pd.com Application Version: 0.0.0.0 Application Timestamp: 00000000 Fault Module Name: iemgui.m_amd64 Fault Module Version: 0.0.0.0 Fault Module Timestamp: 00000000 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 0000000000007e8a OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48 Locale ID: 3079 Additional Information 1: fddb Additional Information 2: fddbeb7f2ce34ea1cb6747bdc0c70766 Additional Information 3: 61c7 Additional Information 4: 61c742530e2d0a66d7bf7d18f9953427 =============================================================== PD version 0.51 and ölower don't crash with the same library. Has anybody else experienced this ? Is this connected to the iem_gui regression that was recently talked about on this list (thread "patch won't open") ? If so, how come PD 0.52 is affected, too ?

Advanced OSC messages
by Alexandre Torres Porres 04 Jan '23

04 Jan '23

Hi there. I'm collaborating a lot to PlugData for a while, which is a fork of Pd that ships ELSE and this is motivating me to offer yet more externals to ELSE that I first didn't want to. Now it's time that OSC objects were requested. I understand Vanilla has some limitations and I actually have a PR that would expand/fix its functionality make it much more usable for managing OSC messages, see https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/pull/1623 While it doesn't happen, I am including new objects that will probably have more functionalities than vanilla's and that will be based on mrpeach's ones. So I am studying OSC specifications more thoroughly and trying to figure it out. It seems people mostly use OSC for simpler float/integer/string arguments in a message. Certainly that's all I ever needed, so I don't know when you have to do more advanced stuff. One doubt is when one would use message bundles with timetags? It seems that if we can include this in Vanilla, we wouldn't really miss anything else from mrpeach, it seems the most interesting object in mrpeach is routeOSC and we would miss it in Vanilla, as it has a whole different design so we can just use [route] instead. Next doubt! As I see it, Vanilla's [oscformat] has a way to specify more than one 'blob' message type into a single OSC message, and for what I saw in the specifications, that is surely possible. Nonetheless, I don't think you can do it in mrpeach's [packOSC], right? So kudos for Vanilla... now... here's a good question. Is anyone here ever in need of sending/receiving 'blob' message types? When? How? And when would you need to send TWO 'blobs' in a single message? How would you split two blobs when receiving it? As I see it, you can't do it with [unpackOSC]. Please enlighten me. thanks

Help with window error loading sfont~ external
by Alexandre Torres Porres 02 Jan '23

02 Jan '23

Hi everybody! There's this issue we're having a hard time troubleshooting and I hope Windows and Pd experts can help figuring this out! So, a user is having issues loading the [sfont~] object from ELSE in Pd on Windows, even though me and others cannot reproduce the error. When trying to create the object, he gets: H:\JOE-W10\Documents\Pd\externals\else\sfont~.m_amd64: La procédure spécifiée est introuvable (*The specified procedure is not found*). (127) sfont~ ...couldn't create An error window also pops up and says: "*Entry point not found * *The DllMain procedure entry point is not found in the dynamic link library * *H:\JOE-W10\Documents\Pd\externals\libfluidsynth-3.w64.*" I don't know what this error means and why me and others don't get this error! Of course we did troubleshoot installation and everything but we still can't figure it out and I have ZERO experience with windows. It is important to note that the user reports he can use PlugData which carries ELSE and the object works just fine. The similar [fluid~] object (equally based on FluidSynth like sfont~) also works when used in the PurrData installation, but the user is also having problems loading fuild~ in Vanilla. A screenshot and further discussion is found here https://github.com/porres/pd-else/issues/1405#issuecomment-1368250330 Thanks Alex AND HAPPY 2023!!!!
