some thoughts

• A wiki could be another democratic resource.
• There are already many different resources to learn PD, easy to find, online and offline.
• PD has nothing to do with consumerism, imho. This is neither Eurorack nor VST. It is more about ideas than downloading existing tools. PD is a development environment, something like a blank paper. Very individual. Apart from learning the language, there is no right or wrong.
• You can do much more apart from DSP with it. Many users are artists, not musicians. An encyclopedia would never be complete and feels like a strange perspective because archiving, in the sense of writing down what others did, might not be the very base of creation.
  Yes, PD is ideal for designing a kick-drum and although its purpose is free, PD and many power users are more in the tradition of IRCAM and similar.
• As the PD community is small and methods and techniques aren't PD specific, a wiki on DSP in general with sub-forums and sub-sections or tags in each article for code examples in pseudocode, C, Python, Matlab, PD, Max, SC, VCV ect. could connect many more people and would make more sense imho.
• There is already the big Wikipedia with DSP and software programming, too. Rewriting everything would be pointless. But links to examples in different coding-languages are rare.
• It might make more sense to use a wiki as some kind of meta resource of weblinks.
• For example, your list of reverb techniques is lacking a lot and the introduction is misinformation, as it describes vaguely only one specific way of many in creating a reverb.
  If this would be a wiki page, it would require many more contributions for becoming more useful than an online search. And as others said before, I doubt this is going to happen if PD only.
• Much more important to me would be making a backup of this forum.
  It is an important resource and it would be pity if it would be gone. This happened to many forums for different reasons before and all their information will be gone forever.
  Even a frozen mirror of the current state, saved on some free and independent server would be better than nothing. Even plain .txt and .pd files could help, if it's not trivial to run the forum as a backup.
  It would be much harder to learn PD without this forum. For example, I guess almost everyone trips over the [$0-in_a_message_is_not_working( and such things.

An implementation of FFmpeg for audio playback of almost any media format

When building, the FFmpeg libraries are dynamically linked by default, which means that you'll need a local installation of these libraries in order for the external to work.

Includes the following features:

• play/pause and seek functionality.

• changing the speed of playback.

• reading and iterating through m3u playlists.

  • It reads pseudo m3u playlists. Each line in the m3u should be just the file name, preceded by a path relative to the location of the m3u if they don't reside in the same folder.

  • The m3u reader can also read nested m3u's. For example, an m3u could consist of the following three lines:

  disc1.m3u
  disc2.m3u
  disc3.m3u
  

• opening files from http urls.

• retrieving metadata.

Creation args

1. numeric list

   • The channel layout. Defaults to stereo if no args given.

   • Numbers specified represent the bits of an audio channel bit-mask. A full list of available channels can be found here: https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavutil/channel_layout.h

Inlets

1. bang - Play/pause the currently loaded track.

   • Sends a 1 or 0 through the last outlet to indicate whether it's playing or paused.

   float - (Re)start playback of a given track number

   • Zero will stop playback.

   anything - Look for matching metadata

   • If metadata is found, it will be sent through the right-most outlet.

• A file must be successfully opened for any of the above to work

2. signal - Change the playback speed.

   • speed can be a factor between 16 and 1/16th.

   • speed can also be altered by sending the message [ speed $1 ( to the 1st inlet.

Outlets

1. signal - Left channel

2. signal - Right channel

   • The number of signal outlets there are depends on the number of creation args given, with the default being 2 signals for stereo.

3. list - Outputs various messages including information regarding whether a file was successfully opened, whether a track is currently playing, track metadata, etc.

Messages

• [ print $.. ( or [ info $.. ( - Prints metadata info.

  • If no args given, it will print general info. Otherwise, it will print custom info.

  • metadata needs to be surrounded with percent signs.

    • Example [ print %artist% - %title% (

• [ send $.. ( - Sends metadata info through the
  last outlet.

• [ open $1 ( - Attempts to open a file.

  • Sends a 1 or 0 through the last outlet to indicate success or failure.

• [ seek $1 ( - Seek to a track position.

• [ speed $1 ( - Set the playback speed.

• [ play $1 ( - Set playback state to either playing or paused.

  • Acts as a toggle when no args are given.
  • When an arg is given, state is forced to playing(1) or paused(0).

• [ interp $1 ( - Change the interpolation algorithm.

  • Options include:
    • Sinc (good | medium | fast)
    • Zero-order hold
    • Linear (the default)

• [ stop ( - An alias for [ 0 (.

• [ pos ( - Returns the track position.

• Any unrecognized message is assumed to be a metadata term. If there is a match, the metadata will be sent through the last outlet.

Update - March 16 2022:

ffplay~ now uses Secret Rabbit Code for resampling, which makes playback speed transitions much smoother. Playback speed can also be manipulated with signals via the 2nd inlet.

ffplay~ is now available through deken. It is part of a larger library called quilt. Searching either "quilt" or "ffplay~" should give a result.

The FFmpeg libraries are still separate, but can be either easily downloaded or easily installed via a package manager.

For Windows users, the FFmpeg libraries can be downloaded here: https://github.com/myQwil/pd-quilt/releases/download/v0.7.7/ffmpeg.v4.4.1.Windows-amd64-32.zip.

For Linux and macOS users, A README file is included, which lists the dependencies for those platforms.

Hi y'all,

Purr Data 2.12.0 is now available

Downloads:
https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data#downloads

Please report issues here:
https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data/-/issues

Changes

• vastly improved window sizing and scrollbar behavior. Now things like the help patches with content that fits in the viewport should load without scrollbars present. (thanks to Ico)
• show current text name (if any) in text editor for [text define]
• ported [text define] "send" method from Vanilla
• ported [text insert] from Vanilla
• ported [dac]/[adc] set method from Vanilla
• added French translation and improve German translation (thanks to Albert and Joseph Gastelais)
• ensure plot traces remain in the bounding box of the graph (thanks to Ico)
• ported "symbol" method for [float] from Vanilla
• added "type hints" for errors wrt unusual or problematic Pd messages. This includes
  • symbol atom which would be parsed as a float if found in a Pd file
  • same thing but with symbol messages, e.g., "symbol 43"
  • empty symbol messages "symbol"
  • empty symbol selector ""
  • null selector
  • symbol atoms/messages with weird "floatlike" data that would overflow/underflow if loaded by a Pd file.
• ported "send" methods from Vanilla for [int], [float], and [value]
• document the "tempo" messages for relevant objects
• fixed a crasher with pasting from Pd patch file (thanks to Ico)
• fixed a long-standing crasher where editing an open GOP window would hide everything except the patch cords under certain circumstances
• an object/gop being edited now has the same size as one that isn't being edited (thanks to Ico)
• fixed keyboard shortcut for dropdown that caused problems for some keyboard types (thanks to Albert)
• fixed ggee/image border selection when on GOP
• fixed long-standing bug with route where a bang wouldn't get sent to the reject outlet
• fixed bug where nested gops erroneously showed a selection rectangle
• fixed a crasher with resizing a nesting GOP when dragging with the mouse
• custom scrollbars from Pd-l2ork 1.0 (thanks to Ico)
• increased gatom character width to 160
• fixed off-by-one problem with iemgui label positions
• fixed bar graph display when graph has its own window
• made a larger hitbox for xlet connection for easier patching (thanks to Ico)
• make default CSS match pd-l2ork 1.0 style
• different, "greyed-out" style for inlet hover (as an inlet can't begin a connection with a mouse, but an outlet can)

a scalar knob for pd with following features:

• value inlet and outlet
• set parameters on the fly:
  • size
  • color theme
  • mouse sensitivity
  • background visisbility
  • value range (min, max, exponent for nonlinear course of values)
  • reset value
• reset on doubleclick
• save state with patch (via connected numberbox2)
  here's a simple example how to use with default settings:
  
  and here the zip file:
  t_knob.zip
  this knob abstraction is based on a patch, i found here in the forum - for some reason i can't find the thread anymore.... i believe it was a patch by @Balwyn, but not 100% sure - could you confirm?
  in this knob abstraction, i use a numberbox2 instead of a slider, which is not part of the abstraction itself for two reasons: the numberbox2 can be used to save the state of the knob and reinitialize by loadbang and it avoids graphical issues, if it's not incorporated within the abstraction. the numberbox2 receives parameter adjustments by the abstraction (like size, range (for mouse response), and init option). you can set the color theme, the output range (with exponent for nonlinear values), a reset value (to reset on doubleclick), the size and the mouse response. have a look at the help patch included in the zip file for further informations.

Now I can answer my own question
Loading an ofImage from a Lua table with pixel values from a .bmp works like that:

ofelia d $0-embindReceiveBitmap;
function embind_6(w, h, buf);
testImage:allocate(w, h, OF_IMAGE_COLOR_ALPHA);
print("bitmap size:", #buf, "bitmap width:", w, "bitmap height:", h);
local count = 0;
for i = 0, h - 1 do;
count = count + w -((w >> 2) << 2);
for j = 0, w - 1 do;
ofPushStyle();
testImage:setColor(j, h - i, ofColor(buf[(i * w + j) * 3 + 54 + count], buf[(i * w + j) * 3 + 55 + count], buf[(i * w + j) * 3 + 56 + count], 200));
ofPopStyle();
end;
end;
testImage:update();
end;

So, now it is possible with Emscripten and Ofelia to load and manipulate .bmp and .wav data in the internet...
And to control the patch with webMIDI (or just Java Script).
And to output (MIDI) data.
I seperated the MIDI and audio example:
https://pdsample.handmadeproductions.de/
https://pdmidi.handmadeproductions.de/
https://github.com/Jonathhhan/ofxOfelia

And I have some ideas and suggestions how to optimize this:

• It would be nice to make a better basic webMIDI Java Script interface template, which is easy to connect to any Emscripten Pure Data Patch.
• It would be really nice if the [ofelia define] object could return a value through the outlet if an embind function is called from C++ / Java Script.
  At the moment the values are banged from a 10ms [metro], which is not optimal...
• it would be great to directly load userdata from java script to Emscripten Ofelia, so the conversion to and from arrays would not be necessary.
• I would like to get rid of the security warnings, that appear because of webMIDI and webAudio...
• Another idea is to have the Ofelia Window fullscreen on a subpage that is controllable from a Java Script interfache on the main page.
• And, because I am not very experienced, it is possible that there are some bad mistakes in my code.
  But I tried my best, and it seems to work.
  Would be nice if somebody more experienced can have a look.

Of course there are some disadvantages compared to a desktop app:

• MIDI is not as tight (but quite good for the internet, still - it could be optimized).
• Loading a picture or a big sound file while audio is running drops the audio.
• It accepts only .bmp images.
• the size is more limited.

BlurPD is a framework system to extend Pure Data with the ability to make
digital logic circuits while taking advantage of the DSP capabilities of Pure Data. In order to design and simulate interesting circuits, ASIC chips, DSP processors or entire CPU's, all in Pure Data. It is made from jucy fundamental modules (Lego blocks) that when put together turn Pure Data into a madness of bits ...

Changelog

features

• VST2 shell plugin support (e.g. "Waves", "Blue Ripple Sound")
• (experimental) VST3 support including sample accurate automation and auxiliary inputs/outputs for side-chaining
• soft-bypass
• potential Cocoa GUI editor for Supercollider
• faster search/probe (multi-processing)
• save search/probe results in a cache file to speed up subsequent searches
• [param_set( and [param_get( now also accept parameter names instead of indices (whitespace is bashed to underscores).
• set editor window position with [pos( message.

bug fixes

• fix broken GUI editor with certain (older) plugins

changes

• use CMake for the whole project (not only for the SuperCollider part)
• removed 'vstsearch' object because of the new cache file system.
• removed [precision( message (precision can only be set at creation time).

internal changes

• use .ini like syntax for plugin info
• hard-bypass prefers the plugin's bypass method
• single event loop shared by all plugins

This library overrides Pd's f, i, and binop objects to give them a couple of extra features:

• A creation arg that ends with an exclamation point tells the object to loadbang the result. The loadbang occurs either upon instantiation or when a patch initially opens, depending on which version of Pd you're running.
  Some examples:
  • [ f 5! ] outputs 5 as a loadbang
  • [ - 8! ] sets the 2nd inlet to 8 and outputs -8 as a loadbang, since the calculation would be 0 minus 8.
  • [ + 1 2 ] sets the 1st and 2nd inlets respectively
    • sending a bang to the 1st inlet would output 3
  • [ / 1 4! ] outputs 0.25 as a loadbang

• Binop objects also have the following additional methods:
  • [ f2 $1 ( - sets the 2nd inlet.
  • [ . $1 ( - sets the 2nd inlet and outputs the result of the calculation.

Note: Older versions of Pd don't support the overriding of built-in objects, so for the sake of backward compatibility, the objects have an additional creator method with the general rule being to put a grave accent ( ` ) in front of the object's name (ex: [`f ], [`+ ], [`- ], etc. )

We've put up a series of beyond-the-basics synthesis tutorials on our youtube page:

So far we have:

1. beyond sine tones
2. envelopes
3. polyphony with [clone]
4. acid filters
5. note sequences
6. neat FM
7. synth strings
8. plucked strings
9. wavetable oscillators

The patches and some other bits are up on our site:
