That's probably normal.  If you run Vanilla many "old" patches were probably created with pd-extended back then.
If objects are missing that is because they are not available in vanilla distribution and because they use objects from community contributed libraries. If you want to look for them you can use deken : https://puredata.info/docs/Deken

You probably should have a look here : https://oscilloscopemusic.com/software.php
There are pd patches to do what you want : https://oscilloscopemusic.com/puredata.php
They advise to use purr-data : https://agraef.github.io/purr-data/

For the audio software routing Jack is indeed great.


Have fun !

Wow, I ran Vanilla, and most of the .pd's I load are severely broken. "Cannot create osc~", really?

try PD (vanilla), pd-extended is seriously outdated:

also, there is a scope~ object in PD, maybe that already suits your needs?

Hello PD List... noob here.

I intend to use pd-extended to generate waveforms that look nice on a vector display, and have a couple questions.

1) I'd like to see what I'm doing, so I'm looking for a way to display my patterns without having to use a physical oscilloscope, so what's a good vector oscilloscope app that I can somehow route those dac~ objects to. Can this be a GEM thing, which so far just isn't working for me?

2) And/Or I'd like to get my audio output into my DAW, Reaper, for recording as .wav files. Has anyone done this? I use a MOTU828 to record my modular synthesizer now.

The work of Jerobeam Fenderson is what's inspiring me now.

Thanks, list.

Henry
