I am trying to load up a PD patch https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/hg/aeolian-tone

I'm unsure what version of PD this was created with, but I suspect it might have been PD-extended. Some objects are missing from the patches.

So far using some of the recommendations from this forum I've managed to chase down one of missing objects (average) in cyclone so that's great

I'm still missing two objects that I can't yet find in a library

sin

prvu

I'm confused by sin as it would seem to be a pretty basic object and I think it should be part of the standard release, so how come PD thinks its missing? I've tried finding this in a library with little success.

prvu is a peak- rms- vu-meter and is/was apparently in the iemlib or flatspace, I've tried loading both of these and flatspace is unknown to deken but iemlib doesn't seem to have the object in any case.

I'm wondering if I should try to change the text of the pd files to reference alternatives if I can find some.

What is the best approach to getting this going? Any thoughts? I'm on pd-0.49-1 and Mac OS

@Paul-Freeman [prvu~] and [pvu~] were from iemlib.
I made (sort of) a [pvu~] abstraction for 64-bit vanilla, that I can upload if you don't get anywhere with the iemlib external.
[sin~] was an abstraction from the creb library that used [cos~] which does exist in vanilla...... like this......

It would be great if you could let me have a copy of that prvu patch as iemlib doesn’t seem to work for me, after I installed its still missing.

Thanks so much.

@Paul-Freeman It's not perfect........ pvu~.zip
..... work in progress....... and very much not finished.
When given arguments 10 400..... so if you put [pvu~ 10 400] it is definitely correct at 0dB and seems to behave as expected comparing it to the original external. Setting the [env~] correctly it does not behave well, so I didn't. I hope that makes sense.
I used it as [pvu~] and had not got around to setting $2 or $3 (overflow threshold).
So in fact it will only respond to $1 so [pvu~ 10] is enough.
I have included the help files for [pvu~] and [prvu~] and you will see that for [prvu~] an extra argument ($2) is inserted.

Sorry, wrong file initially uploaded........
ALSO...... Did you install iemlib through Deken? If you didn't I think you need to set the -lib iemlib flag in the startup preferences.

@whale-av

It will be really helpful just to get things working, from then I can work on some revisions. Thanks again.

Yes, I did use Deken, from inside the PD app itself. I’ll check the startup preferences to see if that could be the problem.

Ah, that explains it, I must have answered a dialog incorrectly, iemlib was not in the startup prefs, so its finding prvu now.

Super, thanks for that.

@Paul-Freeman Ah........ It could just be that Pd needed a restart. iemlib is one of the libraries that needs to be loaded as Pd starts up.
