Pd complete listing of internal Pd messages?
by Ingo 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

Hi, does anybody know where I can find an relatively complete listing of the internal Pd messages? I'm still struggling with changing the font size of the Pd console with a message. [pmenu] seems to use the size of the console font. So by changing this with an internal Pd message I could change my [pmenu] font size on the fly. Thanks! Ingo

Pduino issue?
by Rick Snow 14 Apr '23

14 Apr '23

Hello list, I am helping someone use pd with an arduino mega. They would like to use all of the digital output pins. I’ve used pduino in the past in this way and not had trouble, but I seem to be bumping into something now. I started by using the arduino help patch. StandardFirmata sketch on the Mega. Connection via usb works fine. I set all the pins to output by sending "pinMode 2 output” -> “pinMode 45 output” messages to the arduino object. No errors. Then, I use the messages “digital 2 1” “digital 2 0” -> “digital 45 1” “digital 45 0” sent to the arduino object to check the pins. When checking with a multimeter I am not able to get output from pins 2-7. I do get output from 8-20. Between 20-40 some pins work and others not at all. Other pins will turn on but not turn off. Checking the pins using a simple blink sketch shows all the pins working fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciate! Cheers, Rick

Raspberry pi 4 startup problem
by Simon Iten 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

Ok, I have a strange one… I have a raspberry PI 4 with a usb sound card as in/output and a patch that starts up on boot (via the simple autostart in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE-pi/autostart) Since I also need graphics from puredata. Whenever pd is auto-started, it does not get any sound input. As soon as I go to the media -> audio settings menu, I can see that the card is correctly specified. Now a simple “Apply” (without changing anything else) makes the sound work. Opening a pd patch manually I have correct sound input without going to the menu… Any tips? I tried delaying the dsp 1 message on loadbang by 200ms since I read somewhere this could be the problem.

[PD-announce] Max pd~ object test compiled for M1 processors
by Miller Puckette via Pd-announce 13 Apr '23

13 Apr '23

To Pd announce - The pd~ Max object (which allows you to embed Pd patches in Max/MSP) is now available for the M1 architecture in a test version (0.55test1). You can get it at the usual spot: http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.html It _should_ be possible to run it in Max version 8 for either intel or "M1" (apple) architecture, using Pd compiled for either architecture - but I haven't tried out all the permutations yet. Bug reports are most welcome, either to Pd list or to me personally. cheers Miller _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

[PD-announce] JammPro is released, for Android and iOS!
by Antoine Rousseau 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

"Stop Listening. Start Jamming! This is a journey into Sound....for Ninja Tune founders Coldcut it’s been a 30 year trip: equal parts dreaming, scheming, designing, remixing, djing, producing, gigging and Jamming. The aim of Jamm Pro: to create our ultimate electronic music instrument and share it. Welcome to the journey!" (from https://jammpro.net/) JammPro is a live-remixing app: load a sound set, then play one of 8 possible loops on each of the 4 channels. You can then apply tons of effects and modifiers, and manually trigger 9 other samples ; the multitouch ability of mobile devices is here fully exploited, which makes JammPro a real musical instrument. If you purchase the "Jamm Creator" addon, you can also import new samples, or even record your own loops from the phone's mic (or from an external device), and create your own sound set. You also can purchase new sound sets, from plenty of excellent artists. JammPro is almost entirely written in Pd. It originates from the prior NinjaJamm app, whose Pd audio patch had been initially written by Ed Kelly. At this time, the GUI was written in mixed openFrameworks C++ and iOS objective C; when I was asked to port it to Android (in 2014), I had the idea to build a Pd external toolkit, written in OF, that has been used to rewrite the GUI into a Pd patch. This patch can be edited on desktop (using a secondary window to display the GUI, just like with Gem) and can be interpreted by a libpd/ofxPd (thanks Dan Wilcox!) app on any mobile platform. I called this toolkit Pof, Pd-OpenFrameworks. All this to say that JammPro owes everything to Pd, libpd and ofxPd! Thanks a lot. This app is fun. It's free (*) and many sound sets are available for free; we worked really hard to make it work as well as possible (believe me, the quest for low latency full-duplex audio on Android is a lot of fun!), we really hope you'll enjoy it! Antoine Rousseau - and the JammPro team (*) p.s: about open-source Unfortunately, we have not had time until now to publicly open the JammPro patch. We sincerely regret that, and it is in our plans to change this. This is not trivial, because some parts must remain secret, being related to selling sound sets and the Creator option. In the meantime, Pof has been a free project from the beginning. It's available from Deken for Intel-Mac and Linux (including rPi) platforms; Windows and Arm-Mac to come, hopefully. The code is there: https://github.com/Ant1r/ofxPof _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Running Pd on a raspberry Pi on battery power - crackling issues
by Ingo 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Hi there, I got some new really powerful powerbank (20W) for running my RPi 4 on battery power. However, there seems to be a power saving issue which slows down the Pi as soon as a battery is powering the unit instead of the wall outlet. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? Ingo

Re: [PD] Creating/editing patches on android?
by Dan Wilcox 07 Apr '23

07 Apr '23

Howdy Matevz, I don't believe so, although I must include the caveat tat I do not use Android, so perhaps there is something out there I am not aware of. Running patches via libpd in a mobile app is much easier than creating a live, graphical *editor* as with desktop Pd as: 1. the interaction metaphors are different 2. libpd does not have a way to tap into the core pd editing logic (yet) That being said (written?), it's certainly possible to create something that can automate writing a Pd file which can then be loaded by libpd, however, once things complicated enough, you basically end up duplicating most of the core logic with the detriment that you have to carefully try to keep it up to date with whatever version of pd / libpd you are using. In short: it's a lot of thankless work that is best *not* done without lots of interest, resources, and support. The closest thing I can think of is rooting the device to install a Linux distro so you can run *desktop* Pd, however I don't think this is where your question is focused. As the author of PdParty, which utilizes libpd on iOS, I made a clear decision early on to *not* tackle on-device editing, mainly for the reasons mentioned above. > On Feb 23, 2023, at 12:00 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 2 > Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2023 10:44:58 +0100 > From: Matevz Leskovsek <matevz.leskovsek(a)gmail.com <mailto:matevz.leskovsek@gmail.com>> > To: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Subject: [PD] Creating/editing patches on android? > Message-ID: > <CAEsQPf7MQ+SLkCzqo848OQ9LweoCUzjVPVHXvQYSfvKZ+Gt5qg(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAEsQPf7MQ+SLkCzqo848OQ9LweoCUzjVPVHXvQYSfvKZ+Gt5qg@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > Hi all, as I remember all those PD on Android platforms (mobmuplat, > pddroid) only allowed running patches and not editing those, meaning > that one needed a desktop computer to create and edit patches.
