Also: Maybe look in the OS for security settings about the built-in mic.

On all my previous Linux machines, the built-in mic worked with no problem.

My current machine, I get nothing from the built-in mic, but I do get a signal from a headset mic plugged into the phone jack. I don't know if this is a configuration problem or if the built-in mic is disabled for security reasons... the headset mic is fine for my casual-use needs (obviously in a pro audio situation, I'll use a real mic with a USB soundcard, I'm not that lo-fi) so I'm not going to investigate, but it just occurred to me today that it could be security.

Thank you both, first of all!

Worth to mention that I am using PD for the first time on a MacBook that I fresh reseted a month ago. No intentional manipulation of audio setting, ports and such has been done since. This Mac is fairly fresh and virgin. And it is working like a charm except for PD. All this considered, I am afraid that resetting now the SMC has few chances to solve the issue.

In our class there are 9 people, everyone with a different Mac. Only 2 of the 9 Macs had the latest OS (Ventura) and exactly these two Macs have similar problems (PD's GUI freezing or not responding as expected). This led me think that the problem may be somehow connected to the OS update. But this can also be just an absolute coincidence.

(...and no, unfortunately none of them will agree on updating their Mac's OS in order to help out finding what's the problem here, I can tell you already. Teacher even suggested them to not update the OS).

I attach the patch. As you can see this is just the first 5 minutes of a very first class on using PD. No settings where modified from the default and no complex patch content.
esercizio_001.pd

Indeed, as everyone I do have programs for communication (not Skype, but Zoom for example) although in that moment these were not being used at least not in the GUI. Consider though that I tried again several reboots and Zoom is not in my automatic startup launched apps.

Hey everybody,

Sorry, for a lot of text. But the bold text at the bottom is my main question. The rest will help you to get a better understanding of my situation.

you helped me so much, with my last question here (the Faders are working dope now):
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13849/how-to-smoothe-out-arrays/25

I am doing a Steinberg Houston to Mackie Control emulation at the moment, to use my controller with other DAWs than Cubase/Nuendo. Will upload it to the internet community, when I am finished for the handful of people that maybe are also using this controller.

I made good progress:

I got the Faders and the normal knobs to work. And the display puts out information. But it is with bugs, because the LCD Screen of the Houston has 40 characters for one line and the Mackie Universal Pro has 56 Characters. So i did a list algorithm, which deletes spaces of the mackie message until the message fits on the 40 character line. Maybe there is a method wich will work better but this subject eats too much time for me at the moment and it works rough okay. One defenitely get's some helpful information on the screen from the DAW.

The Faders and Rotary Knobs and normal knobs are the most important of this controller I guess. The Faders are working fine as I mentioned above, but there is a problem with the rotary knobs, wich I can't handle alone and hope you can help me.

The problem is, that the Mackie Controller send simple clicks to the DAW. If you are turning a rotary knob, it sends out a number of midi messages:
If you turn it right, it sends midi messages wich contains the value 1 and if you turn it down it sends messages wich are containing the value 65.
"When the VPots are rotated rapidly, a message equal to the number of clicks is sent."

BUT the Houston controller instead is sending values like it's faders with 15 (MSB) and 128(LSB) values. AND it is updating the rotary limit by itself. So if I turn a rotary, it will update it's LEDs and stops sending midi messages when it reaches the maximum or minimum value. So, I did this patch as a momentary state:

Rotary Encoder Example.pd

The DAW sends 11 values for the Houston LEDs. 11 is max and 1 is min. This is good, I send this values to my houston controller and can update the rotary values and LEDs.
With this updated values from the DAW, I can force my rotary knobs, that they don't stop to send values, because they are set to the values, which the DAW sends, every time I turn a knob. With this method I got it to work to imitate a Mackie Rotary knob. Everytime the Houston Rotary value changes, it sends Mackie "midi click values" according to the amount of midi value changes of the houston.
BUT the problem is, that this is working only in one direction. Now my main question:

How can I make pure Data know, if I am turning my knob in the left direction or in the right direction? There is also the problem, which I mentioned above, that I set the momentary value everytime, I move the rotary, so that I get a unlimited amount of possible rotary move "clicks". Also the midi values which the houston sends arent perfect smooth. It works fine, but it isn't like that, that if you move a rotary in one direction, every value one by another is perfectly lower or higher.

I think I maybe need a algorythm, which looks if the values in a time period are getting higher or lower and then send out bangs on two seperate outlets. For example the left outlet for lower values and the right outlet for higher values. And it should also detect, if I move the rotary fast or slow. So a constant smoothing or clocked bang is also not an option. This is defenitely to complicated for me. I have no idea and what I tried didn't worked.

Would be super cool, if you could help me out again.

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!

@JackOats Yes, it's not easy to understand.
As Pd opens it searches it's "standard paths" for all the objects that it needs, and all the objects that have been added to the "extra" folder....... these added objects are called "externals" as they are not bundled with vanilla Pd.
Unless you have added paths to "Menu/File/Preferences/startup" or "Menu/File/Preferences/Paths" then it will only search Pd/bin and Pd/Extra. Those paths might be a little different on a Mac....?.....http://msp.ucsd.edu/Pd_documentation/x4.htm (The file is also inside your Pd/doc folder).

So Pd will not "find" any objects in other folders....... a path (to search) has not been given and it doesn't know where to look.

But when you open a Pd patch by double-clicking it Pd is pointed to that folder and adds it to the search paths (for this session) so that it can find any necessary abstractions that you have added to that folder (lets call it your "patch folder").

From here on I am guessing based on what @beem has posted....... but I am most likely on the right path
Automatism seems to have a tool for storing "presets" to a file so that they can be recalled when you reopen your patch.
The files mentioned will be part of that system and I imagine the storage files will be written within the folder.
It would be a disaster (for you) if Pd had already found main.pd (and maybe the folder patch_editor_abs ) somewhere else, as hey presto it would be using those copies from now on and all the (wrong for your project) data stored within.
So the first thing to be sure of is that no copy of those files are within the startup search paths.

Now.... if you double-click main.pd in your folder it will be that copy of main.pd that is found, and because it is in that folder it will save the stored settings within that folder and they will be recalled when you open the patch next time.
The same will be true for another folder containing main.pd + the patch_editor_abs folder.
It could be that opening patches in both folders will save any settings in the wrong place...... beware.... as once Pd has found and loaded one main.pd it will continue using that copy until the next session.

So......
I think you should keep the original Automatism folder out of your search paths so that it is not found.
You should copy the main.pd file and the patch_editor_abs folder from the original Automatism folder into your new patch folder (that you can name freely) and then start work by double-clicking main.pd .
It looks like the settings for your patch will be saved in the "statesave" folder.
The next time you open Pd by double-clicking main.pd in your folder you should have what you need.
David.
Ps...... of course if you will only ever want one copy of Automatism then it can be in the startup paths.
Then you simply open it by double-clicking main.pd. But if you want to save a session with different choices it will not be possible.

JASS, Just Another Synth...Sort-of, codename: Gemini (UPDATED TO V-1.0.1)

jass-v1.0.1( esp with midi fixes).zip

1.0.1-CHANGES:

• Fixed issues with midi routing, re the mode selector (mentioned below)
• Upgraded the midi mode "fetch" abstraction to be less granular
• Fix (for midi) so changing cc["14","15","16"] to "rnd" outputs a random wave (It has always done this for non-midi.)
• Added a midi-mode-tester.pd (connect PD's midi out to PD's midi in to use it)
• Upgrade: cc-56 and cc-58 can now change pbend-cc and mod-cc in all modes
• Update: the (this) readme

INFO: Values setting to 0 on initial cc changes is (given midi) to be expected.

JASS is a clone-based, three wavetable, 16 voice polyphonic, Dual-channel synth.

With...

• The initial, two wavetables combined in 1 of 5 possible ways per channel and then adding those two channels. Example: additive+frequency modulation, phase+pulse-modulation, pulse-modulation+amplitude modulation, fm+fm, etc
• The third wavetable is a ring modulator, embedded inside each mod type
• 8 wave types, including a random with a settable number of partials and a square with a settable dutycycle
• A vcf~ filter embedded inside each modulation type
• The attack-decay-release, cutoff, and resonance ranges settable so they immediately and globally recalculate all relevant values
• Four parameters /mod type: p1,p2, cutoff, and resonance
• State-saving, at both the global level (wavetables, env, etc.), as well as, multiple "substates" of for-each-mod-type settings.
• Distortion, reverb
• Midiin, paying special attention to the use of 8-knob, usb, midi controllers (see below for details)
• zexy-limiters, for each channel, after the distortion, and just before dac~

Instructions

Requires: zexy

for-entire-state

• O: Open preset. "default.txt" is loaded by...default
• S: Save preset (all values incl. the multiple substates) (Note: I have Not included any presets, besides the default with 5 substates.)
• SA: Save as
• TEST: A sample player
• symbol: The filename of the currently loaded preset
• CL: Clear, sets all but a few values to 0
• U: Undo CL
• distortion,reverb,MASTER: operate on the total out, just before the limiter.
• MIDI (Each selection corresponds to a pgmin, 123,124,125,126,127, respectively, see below for more information)
  • X: Default midi config, cc[1,7,8-64] available
  • M: Modulators;cc[10-17] routed to ch1&ch2: p1,p2,cutoff,q controls
  • E: Envelopes; cc[10-17] routed to filter- and amp-env controls
  • R: Ranges; cc[10-17] routed to adr-min/max,cut-off min/max, resonance min/max, distortion, and reverb
  • O: Other; cc[10-17] routed to rngmod controls, 3 wavetypes, and crossfade
  • symbol: you may enter 8 cc#'s here to replace the default [10-17] from above to suit your midi-controller's knob configuration; these settings are saved to file upon entry
• vu: for total out to dac~

for-all-mod-types

• /wavetable
  • graph: of the chosen wavetype
  • part: partials, # of partials to use for the "rn" wavetype; the resulting, random sinesum is saved with the preset
  • duty: dutycycle for the "du" wavetype
  • type: sin | square | triangle | saw | random | duty | pink (pink-noise: a random sinesum with 128 partials, it is not saved with the preset) | noise (a random sinesum with 2051 partials, also not saved)
• filter-env: (self-explanatory)
• amp-env: (self-explanatory)
• rngmod: self-explanatory, except "sign" is to the modulated signal just before going into the vcf~
• adr-range: min,max[0-10000]; changing these values immediately recalculates all values for the filter- and amp-env's scaled to the new range
• R: randomizes all for-all-mod-types values, but excludes wavetype "noise"; rem: you must S or SA the preset to save the results
• U: Undoes R

for-each-mod-type

• mod-type-1: (In all cases, wavetable1 is the carrier and wavetable2 is the modulator); additive | frequency | phase | pulse | amplitude modulation
• mod-type-2: Same as above; mod-type-2 May be the same type as mod-type-1
• crossfade: Between ch1 and ch2
• detune: Applied to the midi pitch going into ch2
• for-each-clone-type controls:
  • p1,p2: (self-explanatory)
  • cutoff, resonance: (self-explanatory)
• navigation: Cycles through the saved substates of for-each-mod-type settings (note: they are lines on the end of a [text])
• CP: Copy the current settings, ie. add a line to the end of the [text] identical to the current substate
• -: Delete the current substate
• R: Randomize all (but only a few) substate settings
• U: Undo R
• cut-rng: min,max[0-20000] As adr-range above, this immediately recalculates all cutoff values
• res-rng: min,max[0-100], same as previously but for q
• pbend: cc,rng: the pitchwheel may be assigned to a control by setting this to a value >7 (see midi table below for possibilities); rng is in midi pitches (+/- the value you enter)
• mod-cc: the mod-wheel may be assigned to a control [7..64] by setting this value

midi-implementation

cc - basic (for all midi-configs)

cc - "X" mode/pgmin=123

cc - Modes M, E, R, O

Jass is designed so that single knobs may be used for multiple purposes without reentering the previous value when you turn the knob, esp. as it pertains to, 8-knob controllers.

Thus, for instance, when in Mode M(pgm=124) your cc send the signals as listed below. When you switch modes, that knob will then change the values for That mode.

In order to do this, you must turn the knob until it hits the previously stored value for that mode-knob.

After hitting that previous value, it will begin to change the current value.

cc - Modes M, E, R, O assignments

Where [10..17] may be the midi cc #'s you enter in the MIDI symbol field (as mentioned above) aligned to your particular midi controller.

In closing

If you have anywhere close to as much fun (using, experimenting with, trying out, etc.) this patch, as I had making it, I will consider it a success.

For while an arduous learning curve (the first synth I ever built), it has been an Enormous pleasure to listen to as I worked on it. Getting better and better sounding at each pass.

Rather, than say to much, I will say this:

Enjoy. May it bring a smile to your face.

Peace through love of creating and sharing.

Sincerely,
Scott

i tried to run the examples: https://github.com/enzienaudio/examples/tree/master/javascript

http://libpd.handmadeproductions.de/
http://libpd2.handmadeproductions.de/

the chip example works fine, but the sampleplayer gives me this error message when i start to play the sample:

Was it possible for anybody to run the second example or knows how to fix the error?

Hi all,

I'm trying to run different instances of my main patch using the [pd~] object using 2 different sample rates.

Main patch runs at 48khz:
1st) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 48000]
2nd) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 12000] ---> this runs at 48 kHz

Unfortunately the sample rate of the main patch that contains the 2 [pd~] objects as shown above affect the sample rate of the sub instances.

So if my main patch containing the 2 [pd~] is running at 48kHz the 2 sub instances run at 48kHz overriding the one set to work at 12kHz and vice versa if the main patch runs at 12kHz then the sub instance that is set to run at 48kHz runs at 12kHz.

Main patch runs at 48khz:
1st) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 48000]
2nd) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 12000] ---> this runs at 48 kHz

Main patch runs at 12kHz
1st) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 48000] ---> this runs at 12 kHz
2nd) [pd~ -ninsig 1 -noutsig 1 -sr 12000]

do you have any idea how I can get the 2 instances to run at different samplerate~ ?

Thank you in advance!

*[list item](Samplerate[Pd~]pd.pd link url)

I removed all other instances of my main library I found on my drive, now I only get 1 "succeeded"

I updated pd

sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade pd

I used **pd-lib-builder **make file

same story

I found a way to debug library loading:

LD_DEBUG=libs /usr/bin/pd

...

      7840: calling init: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/main/main.pd_linux
      7840:

      7840: /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/main/main.pd_linux: error: symbol lookup error: undefined symbol: setup (fatal)

fixed the code and...YES

hope this also helps anyone stumbling upon this sort of issues

maybe I ran a package update at some time....

as stated above, I used a simpler "hello world" code, same issue

here is the code

#include "m_pd.h"

static t_class *helloworld_class;

typedef struct _helloworld {
  t_object  x_obj;
} t_helloworld;

void helloworld_bang(t_helloworld *x)
{
  post("Hello world !!");
}

void *helloworld_new(void)
{
  t_helloworld *x = (t_helloworld *)pd_new(helloworld_class);

  return (void *)x;
}

void helloworld_setup(void) {
  helloworld_class = class_new(gensym("helloworld"),
        (t_newmethod)helloworld_new,
        0, sizeof(t_helloworld),
        CLASS_DEFAULT, 0);
  class_addbang(helloworld_class, helloworld_bang);
}
