Slightly inspired by Max for Ableton live, I've added Pd for Radium

It's basically got the same features as Max for Ableton, but I haven't

implemented a modular note control system in Radium yet, so you can't,

for instance, make an arpeggiator in Pd that controls other instruments.

I will implement a modular note control system now though, because

of Pd.

But at least it's possible to use Pd to make sound effects and soft synths.

It's a bit rough yet, so I haven't released anything. You must build Radium

from source to get it, for now. It probably also only works on Linux.

I haven't tried  to compile on Windows or Osx yet.

To access pd, I have used libpd, but upgraded it to support several

instances, gui, and pd-extended:  https://github.com/kmatheussen/libpd

 

Hello Kjetil,

This is very interesting, thanks for sharing!

When trying to add simple_midi_synth to the graph (? I don't know how you call it), it seems it wants to load libs from the .pdextended settings file even if pd-extended is not installed. When pd-extended is installed, I get this error:
Unable to create libpds instance. Error message: "/tmp/libpd_1378125318_83135_1571333196_bs94VC.so: undefined symbol: _ZTI7GemBase".

Personally, I wish I could use pd-l2ork from radium but I'm totally unaware if it's pdlib-compatible and if it's possible at all...

Hi András,

pd-extended is actually included in Radium, but I've only included the vanilla objects from the externals directory of it.

From the error message you get, it seems like Gem should also be installed with Radium in order to run correctly.

To solve this problem, though, you should only have to add the path to where the Gem externals are installed into ~/.pdextended.

Alternatively, you could temporarily rename your ~/.pdextended file to something else when running radium, to avoid the dependency problem.

It would also be useful to know the content of your ~/.pdextended file, to locate which externals you have that needs Gem.
