>>another suggestion: why not make a lib sub-folder. where you can store such things like modulate. or a scale log which then could work with arguments. <<

that's how i originally did it, but i just wanted to make it so that the modules would just 'work' even if they were removed from the library. i guess i was kind of successful in that regard, because i have spotted some of my drums and stuff inside other people's projects. the only abstraction they need is the 808_state for state saving, but they will work fine without that anyway.

>>currently i guess it would be annoying to change all modulates.<<

i sometimes have a lot of free time the other day i went through the whole library and replaced all the [loadbang] objects with a subpatch to allow for loadbang on dynamic creation. this meant changing around 100 patches and resaving them.

i will do DIY3 soon then. it is not 'finished', and i have some worries that it is not at all backwards compatible with DIY2, but at the end of the day i am a musician more than a programmer, so the function is what matters.

diy3 'upgrades' include:

a built in sound editor, so you can record loops and sounds and edit them within pd and then export them to .wav files.

some more 'synth' like modules and effects units (tape echo, etc)

inbuilt diy-clock module that ties everything together for sequencing, and then of course some sequencer modules.

vanilla pd compatibility (this unfortunately meant removing some really useful things like the 7 and 13 band EQ's, but they could always be imported from DIY2)

Hello,

I happen to be researching ways to make a tape echo like the old roland type using pure data. Would it be possible for you to put up some of the effects from DIY3 such as the tape echo you mentioned?
