I use this little script:
#! /bin/bash echo "Hello" gcc -O2 -DPD -export_dynamic -shared -o sqosc~.pd_linux -I/usr/local/include/ sqosc~.c -L /usr/local/lib echo "done"
(Of course you could just copy/paste the line beginning with "gcc" into a terminal window). If pd is installed on your system it should work for you too. After running it in the same directory as sqosc~.c you will have sqosc~.pd_linux. As root, copy sqosc~.pd_linux to /usr/local/lib/pd/extra if you want to install it.

Did anyone try sqosc~ yet? I'm interested to get feedback on that one.

Hi Roman, I get the following error from your patch, for many of the tables: error: 1002-square33: number of points (512) not a power of 2 plus three
Along with this error, it seems to stop playing somewhere above 360 Hz...
Thanks for your help, I'm sorry to sound grumpy, it's just that in searching the archives mostly all I found was my old query for a year ago. Plus everyone says to use [blosc~] but I posted in my first post, that [blosc~] is broken, and I believe that it's known, ie here is says: http://blog.soundsorange.net/index.php/archives/2006/09/28/exploring-pd-exte... "exploring pd extended 27/9/2006 CPU load rating blosc~ - intriguing band limited oscillators, but patch is self referential and not working"
Again, a reminder that this isn't really for me, but rather, it's the list members chance to sell other people on PD being useful, or not, to the outside world. [vst~] is working great so I can demonstrate subtractive synthesis with VST's within pure data, but that's suggesting to people that PD isn't really good for traditional synthesis... So if you think PD is good for synthesis, let me know about it!!!
***Note: I personally don't use PD with Gem for VJing, and to make weird generative MIDI sequences, mostly... I never really considered synthesis a strong point for PD, for reasons that should now be obvious.

hello again
i improved guenter's bandlimited square a bit. i noticed that it is hardcoded to 48kHz and accidently i was running pd at 48kHz, that's why it sounded quite good here. however, how far i can see it, the part, that selects the appropriate table, is not working as it should. i couldn't completely follow, how it works, but it seems to switch only correct from tab1 to tab2. for other tabs it switches at too high frequencies, which might introduce a bit aliasing. in my version the tables are generated on loadbang, which makes the file much smaller and easier to adapt for other waveforms. the tabselector is now dependent on the sampling rate, so it should sound well at different rates now. in order to provide the full spectrum even in low frequencies, i added a raw square generator. below a certain frequency, the oscillator switches to the raw square version, so that it should sound good at arbitrary low frequencies. the number of tables generated on loadbang can be changed. a bigger value lowers the frequency, at which the oscillator switches to the raw version and vice versa.
i hope you'll have fun with it.

I found those, but are they really band-limited? I'm fairly sure I hear ugly digital artifacts in the saw. The square appears to be broken, unless I made a mistake cutting and pasting those 1500 lines of code into my text editor (kinda hard to tell).
It's 5 30 am here and I've not slept yet :-(
I can't believe there's STILL no readily available external/abstraction for such a common synthesis task, I just want a "nice sounding" example that will compare with the VST's which I will be hosting from within PD; right now "ASynth" sounds about 100x better than anything made in PD itself ...
Oh and I don't see any "J" example PD patches, my PD patches don't go that high.

hello david
i found examples for a bandlimited saw and bandlimited square by g. geiger in the archives. might this is what you are looking for.
