Hi,
I am working on a modular project, - different GUIs for different tasks, those I want to use live on stage.

Think several interfaces.

Now I want to be able to switch between them dynamically without having to use the menubar or the OS.

I already found how to open and close pd-files within a patch:
http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/10258/loading-a-pure-data-patch-pd-file-within-a-pure-data-patch-pd-file/6

but I don't want audio-dropouts due loading a new patch.
(This I can achieve by separating the GUIs from the audio-processing and keeping this running in the background)

And the closing-thing seems to be unstable here, sometimes it works and other times pd crashes, I don't know why ...

Is there a way to switch between opened windows within pd?
Can I address the "Windows"-Menu from the inside of a patch, to bring a window to the front?

PDL2-Ork Ubuntu here.

Hot Binops
Performs binop arithmetic with 2 hot (active) inlets, which means that the usage of either inlet will trigger an output. Some of the objects require the hexloader library to load properly.

The naming convention is a # symbol, followed by the expression.
examples: [#+ ] [#- ] [#== ] [#!= ] [#&& ] [#|| ] etc.

The collection is based on the binop objects found in x_arithmetic.c. This includes:
binops 1: +, -, *, /, pow, max, min
binops 2: ==, !=, >, <, >=, <=
binops 3: &, |, &&, ||, <<, >>, %, mod, div

Reverse Binops
Performs binop arithmetic with the inlets having switched roles. Some objects require the hexloader library.

The naming convention is an @ symbol, followed by the expression.
examples: [@- ] [@/ ] [@pow ] [@<< ] etc.

The collection consists of binop objects where the swapping of inlets would have a noticeable difference in results. These include:
-, /, pow, <<, >>, %, mod, div

Bitwise Arithmetic
Consists of two bitwise objects to perform bitwise negation [!~ ] and XOR ([^ ] and [#^ ]). Bitwise negation has another alias of [~ ] but it will not load unless [!~ ] is loaded first, or if the object is placed in pd/extra/!~ and "!~" is added to your list of libraries.

@jancsika the contents of that file (org.puredata.pd-l2ork.default.plist are as follows.... if I had to guess, <string>-helppath ~/Library/Pd -helppath /Library/Pd</string> should be something like Pd-l2ork/Contents/Resources/app.nw/extra instead of ~/Library/Pd ?

I was wondering if someone could give a little overview on the current (end 2016) situation on installing and running PD, l2-ork or purr-data on recent ARM boards, for somebody just getting into embedded systems (read: somebody terminal-literate, but not savvy enough to compile kernels).

The project is building a display-free modular sampler instrument, so GPIO, USB MIDI and USB audio I/O are paramount. Everything else (WIFI, BT, GPU etc) is secondary.

More specifically:

• Are more recent boards like Pine A64, Odroid C2, Chip (PRO?) or BBB worth considering?
• If so, what's the story on DSP performance/latency and RT kernel tweaks etc, compared to Pi3?

Much obliged,
S

The same patch I've been working on for days have just started to crash PD every time I try to open it! Thisi is what error say:

??'??? What Can I Do?

Hi Francois,

I am not sure I understand what is your problem, but when you create a [adc~] you will have two outlets, one for each channel. Same thing for the [dac~], which has two inlets. So from the separate outlets of the [adc~] you can do whatever you want with each channel individually before sending the result to the [dac~]. If you have other channel configurations, you can use these as follows: [dac~ 4] for instance will have one single inlet and will output the signal via channel 4, while [dac~ 1 3 4] will have three inlets for channels 1, 3 and 4, respectively.

Does that answer your question or am I misunderstanding you?

Cheers,
Gilberto

Hi,
I would like to share my plugin : Camomile.
Camomile is a dynamic plugin made with Juce that allows to load and control Pure Data patches inside a digital audio workstation.

Feature :

• Support for multiple plugin instances.
• Automatic creation of GUIs (toggle, slider and numbox) toggle, slider, radio, comment, numbox
• Automatic recognition of parameters (name, label, range, minimum, maximum, etc.)
• Up to 8 channels 16 channels
• Up to 32 parameters 64 parameters
• Support for MIDI in and out
• Support for play head position
• Support for BPM

This is a beta version, only available for Mac, but
The last version release is available for Linux, Mac and Windows.
I'll be happy to receive your feedback.
Further information on the wiki.
Cheers

They're like [mtof] and [ftom], but now the objects accept 2 parameters:

• the reference pitch for middle A (default value is 440)
• the number of tones (default value is 12)

So let's say you want your reference pitch to be 432, considered by some to be a more mellow frequency, you would write:

• [ntof 432]

and to split an octave into just 8 distinct tones instead of the most conventional 12, you'd write:

• [ntof 432 8]

You can change these values after instantiation by using messages:

• [ref $1(
  • changes the reference pitch
• [tet $1(
  • changes the number of tones (in equal temperament)

It also comes with two counter objects: [cupq], and [cupqb]

[cupq] has three inlets:

• left inlet decrements
• right inlet increments
• middle inlet changes the step size.

[cupqb] is similar, but it includes an atom box, allowing you to slide the current count. It has two inlets:

• first inlet receives [+ $1( and [- $1( messages
• second inlet controls the step size.

[cupq] and [cupqb] are .pd files, so there's actually more you can do with them than what I've specified here.

These files are also on my github page under pd-externals.

EDIT: My musical scale object [muse] now also takes advantage of the ref and tet messages. Its help file allows you to play around with these features. The files have now also been added to the zip.

I just installed Ubuntustudio 15.10 Wily Werewolf 32bit on a thinkpad and I am trying to upgrade PD to extend. I am fairly new to linux but it seems like the instructions on https://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian fails.

This is the log from executing the commands. Any suggestions and help will be appreciated

Hi there,

As you saw in that video, the object [pfft~] is mainly a container (although it automatically takes care of block size, window type, etc. for you) and the magic actually happens when you use [fftin~] and [fftout~]. In Pd, we don't have a container object like that (although you can use a subpatch or abstraction of course) and the equivalents of [fftin~] and [fftout~] are [rfft~] and [rifft~].

I recreated that patch of the video here, have a look:

example of spectral gate.pd

Take care,
Gilberto
