In standard pd, all numbers are single-precision floating point numbers. Floating point numbers have two parts: a mantissa (which defines the value) and an exponent (which defines the scale). For example, 5 is binary 1.01 * 2^2 -- mantissa is 5/4, and the exponent 2 is such that 2^exponent cancels out the "/4" leaving 5.

The mantissa determines the numeric precision. In single precision, you get 24 mantissa bits (23 are encoded, one is assumed), taking you up to 16777216. Usually the last digit is an approximation, where rounding error occurs, so let's call it 7 decimal digits.

That means 5000 Hz should be distinguishable from 5000.01 or even 5000.001 Hz, but 5000.0001 would be numerically the same as 5000 (by empirical testing, 5000.0005 is 1 bit off from 5000.0000 and that's as small as you can go). So there's a limit how precise you can go.

But the pitch ratio 16777216 / 16777215 is about 0.0001 cents, which no human will be able to hear (not even Jacob Collier) so it's kinda good enough.

....at present L2Ork is loading my Purr Data patches fine, not sure what might be broke or incompatible, hopefully no nasty surprises down the line.

A couple of issues though on the latest MacOS,

• copy and paste often stops working altogether, and I use copy and paste a lot, so that's a big deal. Have you found this to be an issue also?

• my MOTU audio interface as the selected audio with 4 channels, sometimes reverts back to internal Mac audio. Then when selecting MOTU again, L2Ork crashes. After numerous attempts it eventually accepts the audio interface, but this has happened several times now.

• a niggle about the colour selector for background, foreground etc of controls, it's just a colour wheel and numerical input. With Purr Data I'd got used to quickly applying the same preset colours available and also dragging custom colours to a 'bank' of user colours. Now I need to note down numerical values if I want to use the same colour again - not quick or intuitive.

Copy & paste which stops working is the biggest issue though.

@ddw_music I love that story but am scratching my head over the 1/10 example you gave. Here's a test I made in Arduino c++:

I went out 40 digits and didn't see anything unexpected. Was that example you gave just a metaphor for the issue, or is my test naive?

Getting back to how Pd seems to differ from other programming languages, I'm going to hazard a guess and say that Pd hasn't separated the value of a float from its display/storage format. In my Arduino code I declare values, but it's not until the print statements that I specify their display formats. It's similar in Java and c#. I wonder if Pd could do something similar without upsetting users or making it too unfriendly? Maybe number boxes and arrays have an extra property that is a numeric format string? Or set messages for messages end in a numeric format string? Format strings shouldn't be too unfamiliar to those who've used makefilename. And if the format string is missing, then Pd defaults to it's current single-precision truncation strategy?

PS I hope my attempt at humor didn't discourage @porres from responding to @oid's question. I'm sure he would have something more meaningful to contribute.

Edit: hmm, but here's Pd64.

Yet another edit: I found this in Microsoft Excel help, but it suggests the value should be slightly less, not more that 0.1. Plus, Excel shows 0.1 exactly.

Yet another edit edit: disregard my comment about expecting it to be less, I didn't account for normalization of the mantissa. Carry on.

Hello All,
I am receiving a long error when opening my patch today. Everything seemed to be working well this morning, but upon returning to the project, I receive a long error in the Pd window:

(Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name "1994"
while executing
("uplevel" body line 56)
invoked from within
... plus a few more similar lines...

My GUI will no longer function properly and I am missing some objects (bangs, toggles, hslider).

When searching for 'Find last error' the message returns as 'no findable error yet.'

Using PD 51.4 w/Rosetta, M2 MacBook.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Hi,
how can one do ratio approximation -- fraction from number? (need it for - well tempered - scale, that should also be used on time and modulation).
Some starting patch would be great, cause I did not find anything on web.

It was once provided by Omar Misa on FB, but it got deleted.. it was small patch using prepend and based on simple logic, that u consequently setting numerator w 1-9 denominator, until it match/ is close .. cool was, that u can also set/ show deviation.. and ultimately set what deviation is acceptable or set it some categories..

Imo for musical purposes, u often don't need complex object/ object-patch/ open object (that is hard to follow without Ph.D. or having Pd as almost only instrument and not just one of sometimes over hundred plugins), but rather a simpler patch w/ explanation of logic behind it/ context (like on U-he, D16groups manuals).. so u can alter it to suit your needs.
Just my opinion.
..................................

As a tribute to Omar I've shared patch - in patch section - using his interpolation technique and update it for 3 values.

Happy patching.

Edit: Ok, I am digging to it from scratch - I am now sure, that it will be one of the least eloquent patch on the planet heavily relying on brute force....

EDIT: As I ve said *- least eloquent patch is done..CounterFin.pd

Patch simply rise denominator,. When its fraction ratio is below numeric ratio, it increases numerator +1 and start rising denom. from 1 again...
Increment/Decrements - allow set +/- 1 manually in different part, giving some overview for ratios - specily those that are close by, helping build your scale or its function(s), can serve as modulation etc.

It allows also easy set of deviation parameters, cause chances to find clear fraction from large ratio are pretty slim,

I am trying to make this work, but am struggling.

Here is the message I am sending:

find [object_name] [number 0f object created to delete]

but I am getting this message:

@lead said:

So, starting with the smallest number of decimal places and ending with the smallest number of decimal places is preferable, does that make sense?

Formally, it doesn't make sense.

The ratio for 2 semitones down is 2 ** (-2 / 12). 2 is a prime number. Raising any (positive) prime number to a fractional power results in an irrational number, with infinitely many decimal places (without ending up in a repeating sequence).

A rational number times an irrational number must be irrational. So your initial bpm value * the ratio is irrational and has infinitely many decimal places. To say "this one has 3 places" glosses over the real situation.

What you're really doing is rounding this irrational number to an arbitrary number of places. The denominator of the rounded number will be 10 ** num_places -- thus both the numerator and denominator are integers and the result is rational.

The difference (or quotient, depending how you want to measure it) between bpm * ratio and the rounded version is an error value.

And the math problem, then, is to minimize the error.

You can see it more clearly if you use a language with double precision floats, e.g., SuperCollider:

f = { |bpm, semitones = -2, places = 3|
    var r = 2 ** (semitones / 12);  // '.midiratio'
    var bpm2 = bpm * r;
    var rounded = bpm2.round(10 ** places.neg);
    // for easier comparison I'll "absolute-value" the error values
    var errorDiff = bpm2 absdif: rounded;
    var errorRatio = bpm2 / rounded;
    if(errorRatio < 1) { errorRatio = 1 / errorRatio };
    [bpm2, errorDiff, errorRatio]
};

f.value(69);  // [ 61.472011551683, 1.1551683407163e-05, 1.0000001879178 ]
f.value(59);  // [ 52.56302437028, 2.4370280016228e-05, 1.0000004636394 ]
f.value(77);  // [ 68.599201296806, 0.00020129680612513, 1.0000029343985 ]

... where, indeed, the error for 77 * r is about an order of magnitude worse.

@jameslo -- "It would be cool if you were asking https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/2438510/can-i-find-the-closest-rational-to-any-given-real-if-i-assume-that-the-denomina "

I think this is exactly what the problem reduces to -- what is the closest rational to x where the denominator = 1000. (However, the numerical methods in the thread will likely evaluate better with double precision floats. Pd prints 6 digits so it may not be clear what you're seeing.)

Actually something else... if x is the original bpm and y is the adjusted, find x and y where the error is minimized. So far the assumption is that x is an integer, but maybe the error could be even lower if they're both fractions.

A numeric representation with a finite number of digits is always an approximation, unless it's a rational number and the prime factors of the denominator are all prime factors of the base.

2022.122 can be represented accurately in decimal because the denominator is 1000, with prime factors 2 and 5 (same as base 10).

1/3 cannot be represented accurately in decimal because base 10 does not include 3 as a prime factor.

In binary floating point, base 2 has only one prime factor, so the only numbers that can be represented accurately are those whose denominator is a power of 2. 0.25 = 1/4, ok. 0.2 = 1/5, not ok.

Many people get confused because they wrote an exact decimal value and assume that it will be exact in binary. It may very well not be. 2022.122 is one of those (the denominator has three factors of 5, which binary cannot handle).

One takeaway is that == tests are often invalid for floating point. You shouldn't expect it to work, actually. It isn't weird. It's in the nature of the number system.

Similarly, there's no "right pi" and "wrong pi." Every representation of pi in a computer is wrong. The expr example merely generates a wrong pi whose wrongness matches the later operations.

Double precision pushes these issues further away so they are less visible -- but 2022.122 is a repeating binary in double just as much as in single precision. It would be good for Pd to move up to doubles for control messages though.

Hi,

can you use Pd to convert audio to numeric values and store it in a text file?

I am trying out this project in order to store/play a snippet of audio from an Arduino uno/nano.

https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/pcm/

Following this guide you can use a Processing app or script to convert the audio to numeric values.

http://highlowtech.org/?p=1963

This is not working, probably since I am on OSX Monterey. I will try to get the Processing script working but then I though that maybe there is a way to do this in Pd. I need to get the data as numbers in a text file, so not streamed real time.

?

Hey, I'm trying to get purr-data to work on my fresh Manjaro XFCE install, but it does not work. Any help is greatly appreciated!
