[PD-announce] Workshop Click Tracker 17th November
by João Pais CT 14 Nov '24

14 Nov '24

Dear List, in case you're interested, on Sunday the 17th of November at 18h CET there will be a online Click Tracker workshop. The workshop is free of charge, but participants must enroll at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSee1z1k0BXxxAikpj5KgNUFELliafrCvvG… The goal of this workshop is to learn how to use the Click Tracker app, developed by João Pais for the creation of click tracks. The Click Tracker is a powerful tool that can help musicians either with the creation process, the preparation and rehearsing or even performance of musical works with a certain degree of metric complexity, or simply to synchronise electronic means with instruments. During this workshop, João Pais will present the Click Tracker possibilities, demonstrating how to create files for a number of different situations (changing tempi, time signatures, etc). Before the workshop, each participant will receive an email with the details for the access to the online session. You can find more information and tutorial, as well as download the application at https://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/ Participants are strongly encouraged to previously send a PDF referring to practical cases they might like to see discussed during the session.

extensions for externals
by rolfm＠dds.nl 13 Nov '24

13 Nov '24

hi, i'm (trying to) work with "all-in" patches: a folder containing a main patch, and subfolders for all abstractions and all nescesary externals for different architectures. this works well with comport, iemguts, zexy (up until now) because the object files have different extensions for each architecture. recently i needed [binfile] and here i struck a problem: the most recent version on Deken binfile.pd_darwin works on mac M1, but not on an older Mac. there's a old [binfile] version (2015) with the same name and extension, which works on the older Mac, but not on the M1. could i solve this by using different extensions, if yes, which ones? rolf

[PD-announce] [meta] first-time list posters are now moderated
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 11 Nov '24

11 Nov '24

dear all, due to the excessive amount of SPAM we have been seeing in the last months (both here and on pd-dev), I've decided to switch on moderation for new list members. this basically means, that whenever a new user signs up, their first post must be manually approved by the list moderators (the number of which is currently in the lower single-digit range). it might take a while until the moderators find time to attend to first-time posts, so that's a bit of a bummer. if all went well, existing members should not be affected (as in: no moderation for ye old timers) - at least for 97% of the users. sorry for the inconvenience. tgmasdr IOhannes _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list -- pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at To unsubscribe send an email to pd-announce-leave(a)lists.iem.at

RPI - PD & hdmi audio
by oliver 06 Nov '24

06 Nov '24

Hi, dear List ! It's probably a very special usecase, but i wouldn't know where else to ask. I thought maybe someone else here has encountered the same problem : For a project i'd like to use the audio signal from the hdmi connection to a screen attached to a Raspberry PI 4 (or 5 - same problem there). While this is working alright, when i play a file with mplayer or vlc (i.e. the audio is played out of the attached screen's speakers) i hardly can do this with PD. SYSTEM = RASPIOS 12 (bookworm), fresh installation PD = 0.53.1 (installed via apt) Here is what i tried to play audio over hdmi and the results: PORTAUDIO: 1.) if i select the hdmi device directly the console prints: "error opening audio: Sample format not supported" (chenging Samplerate doesn't help) 2.) if i select "ALSA: hdmi", audio works normally ! ALSA: 3.) selecting the hdmi device (hardware), i get a squeeking sound, like some sort of digital feedback (or a digital offset-signal played through the speakers). re-selecting the hdmi device changes the loudness of the audio feedback in an arbitrary way, but it never stops. Changing samplerate changes the feedback's pitch, but that's all. ======================================================================== So, right now i somehow stick to method nr. 2 but i was wondering, what's the matter with 1.) and 3.) Can anybody share some experience with PD & hdmi audio on a PI ? (For the record: I tested this on multiple PIs and the result was always the same. I never used hdmi audio before, so i probably never noticed. In my situation it would be handy, though) Thanks for all insights/thoughts/stories Best Oliver -- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /////////////// http://oliver.klingt.org /////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Compiling for alsa on Debian 11
by Yann Seznec 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hello! For various reasons I’m attempting to compile Pd on a headless raspberry pi 3 running Debian 11 (“bullseye”) (with no desktop environment). It compiles just fine, and I can open a patch, but when I run Pd it can not find any audio or midi devices. I believe this is because of the settings when I compile. I get the following messages if I run a patch: error: audio input device number (0) out of range error: audio output device number (0) out of range If I ask for the list of devices using “-listdev” it says: no audio input devices found no audio output devices found API number 4 no MIDI input devices found no MIDI output devices found When I configure the build, it gives me the following information: fftw: no wish(tcl/tk): wish watchdog: yes audio APIs: PortAudio OSS midi APIs: OSS libpd: no In the build instructions it describes OSS as a "historical precursor to ALSA, generally not used”. So I imagine that it is best avoided. One final clue - if I install Pd using apt-get, the audio works fine. However this is an older build (0.51.4) and I would like to use some of the new objects in the newer releases of Pd. I assume that this older build was compiled for alsa. Assuming that this is the root of my issue (a big assumption), I can’t seem to find a way in the build settings to use alsa instead when I compile. Is there any way to set that up? Otherwise, if I am misunderstanding the problem more generally I apologise and would gratefully taken any other suggestions. Thanks! Yann

Key value list store
by Chris McCormick 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hi, I was wondering if anybody has implemented a key-value store in Pd which can be serialized to a list? I'd like to be able to send messages like: set foo value1 value2 value3 get foo (returns value1 value2 value3) del foo set bar valueX valueY set baz valueZ And then a way to dump and read entire key-value tables from the list with e.g. [dump( and [restore ...( where ... is the serialized form of the key values. I guess I can build this with [text] but I wanted to check if anybody has done it already. Cheers, Chris. -- https://mccormick.cx/

Fwd: Problems reconnecting MIDI device on RPi

For now I have in my patch a [aconnect( -> [shell] and [aconnects]. I downloaded you package that is probably discontinued and used that. I tried finding [aconnect] but cannot find that external.

Usually, aconnect by itself isn't not perennial since the midi connections changes for a reason. Anyway if the only alternative is about using shell scripting, maybe launching a script.sh would make things robust. > > Best regards.

Problems reconnecting MIDI device on RPi
by Alberto Novello 05 Nov '24

05 Nov '24

Hi i'm developing a hardware and software laser synthesizer using pure data on RPi zero 2 W. The problem I'm facing is that when I disconnect my MIDI device the connection is lost forever. I tried using [aconnect 'MIDI Mix' 'Pure Data'( -> [shell] without success. I tried writing it directly in the Terminal and tells me that Pure Data is not recognised. So I tried Ioannes [aconnects] which also doesn't work. In the messages I put MIDI Mix 1 Pure Data 0 (or 1 either fails). Strangely when I reset it from the Pure Data preferences menu it works perfectly. Do you have any idea what am I doing wrong? Can you maybe help me figure it out?

Are you (re)starting Pd when this happens? I remember, a long time ago, I had a start script for Pd and MIDI connections which relied on sleeping a couple seconds after starting Pd otherwise the MIDI ports don't appear to ALSA when calling connect after, > On Nov 3, 2024, at 6:09 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 1 > Date: Sat, 2 Nov 2024 11:49:45 +0100 > From: Alberto Novello <albynovello(a)gmail.com <mailto:albynovello@gmail.com>> > Subject: [PD] Re: Problems reconnecting MIDI device on RPi > To: IOhannes m zmölnig <zmoelnig(a)iem.at <mailto:zmoelnig@iem.at>> > Cc: pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at> > Message-ID: > <CAP9RyhP3URNXaiKwkynSEH6JuPuMQgOKEF5v7HkQs6bDQTFxxw(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAP9RyhP3URNXaiKwkynSEH6JuPuMQgOKEF5v7HkQs6bDQTFxxw@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: multipart/related; > boundary="0000000000000e4f840625ebd0c3" > > Hi thanks for your answer Iohannes!!
