@cfry Why it might not help much.....https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2012-02/094145.html
What happens as Pd connects to the Gui.........https://puredata.info/docs/developer/PdStartupOrder

Command flags........ https://puredata.info/docs/faq/commandline/?searchterm=flags
You will need to start Pd with the -guiport or the -guicmd flags depending on how you will achieve your aim.
There is help mentioned at the bottom of the page for that...... here is a direct link....... https://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-08/052604.html ...... but it's not very helpful.

Everything would have to pass through a network connection though...... so I am not sure that things will improve.

If your VNC connection is stable you can edit your patch through the VNC viewer.
When you want to run it then you can start Pd on the RPI with the -nogui flag (see the command link above) which will help.

Hey everyone
I've been working on a fairly elaborate sequencer patch in Puredata Vanilla version 0.52. I'm using just vanilla objects which have all been available in Puredata for some time.

I noticed when I open this patch in "Purr Data" or in older versions of Vanilla Puredata, (like 0.49), all the objects load correctly, but a lot of the patching is wrong. Specifically in sub-patches, the patching is just...... all over the place with cords going everywhere and not at all how it was patched when I made things.

I'm interested in making sequencers in Puredata that can be used on platforms like Bela or the Organelle. Those types of things usually use older versions of Pd. I expected that, because .pd files are human readable text files, there would be backwards compatibility, but I guess this was a faulty assumption?

I'm curious:
Is Vanilla Puredata generally not backwards compatible with older versions? Or is this a bug? Is there any easy way I could correct the patching in my patch so that it'll open in older versions of Puredata without having to re-patch everything? Or should I just stick to older versions of Puredata for this type of work going forward?

thanks

You can get the latest .deb files from debians website: https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=puredata but that means you gotta figure out dependencies yourself

Thanks. That is where problems start, as I do not understand exactly what this means or how to do this.

I went over it some 6 months ago in another thread: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13499/couldn-t-create-sigmund/2

Basically, you download all the packages named puredata something and run them with software center / synaptic or whatever

" cd path/to/pd'

"path/to/pd" is a generic placeholder and is meant ot be substituted with the actual path you installed pd to

If there was any hints regarding the installation of pd 51-4 or some clearance where I am on the wrong path I still would be interested.

THANKS!

See the thread I linked to above. Otherwise there are repositories you can add manually: https://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian - the debian stable repo should work (same packages I am running on xubuntu 20.04)

Adding apt.puredata.info manually
You can either add this line to the bottom of /etc/apt/sources.list Or you can add it in the GUI administration program Synaptic (in the Settings -> Repositories menu, then the Third-Party Software tab). Choose the line for your version of Debian or Ubuntu from the options below:

#Debian/stable
deb http://apt.puredata.info/releases stable main

After adding this repo and doing sudo apt update you should be able to install puredata 51.4 with apt install

Data structures always. The first, the blue one, is the result of a stack overflow..

@Coalman Maybe define the send as ascii or convert to a string of the decimal values of the ascii characters in python before sending? ......... https://www.codegrepper.com/code-examples/python/ascii+to+decimal+python
[list tosymbol] will convert the decimal back to characters in Pd........ and it might then be easier to diagnose any problems.

Also there is a dedicated binary in your Pd distribution called pdsend (it is in the bin folder along with the Pd binary). It can be called in Python (probably needs to be copied to a folder where Python will find it).
Then use [netreceive] in Pd to receive what is sent through pdsend.
There is a code snippet here........ https://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/make-python-and-pure-data-communicate-on-the-raspberry-pi/ ...... unfortunately a screenshot so it will need to be typed out again.

BUT the comma in the message "IU.SFJD.00.BHZ | 2021-08-19T12:45:49.019538Z - 2021-08-19T12:46:05.269538Z | 20.0 Hz, 326 samples" will split the message when it arrives in Pd.
AND more importantly.... I am pretty sure that a pipe "|" in Python passes information (before the pipe) to an operator (after the pipe) and that could be why the message fails....... trying to pass "IU.SFJD.00.BHZ" to a non-existent operator "2021-08-19T12"

@romulovieira-me Understood.....
Do the patches work.... do they already send the audio and receive it correctly?

What do you want python to control?
The connection?
The volume?
Something else?

To do that there is some help here for Python...... https://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/make-python-and-pure-data-communicate-on-the-raspberry-pi/
You use [netreceive] in Pd to receive the control messages.
You need to search in your Pd installation for a binary...... pdsend.exe (for windows) or the equivalent for Linux (probably pdsend.linux) or for the Mac. It needs to be copied somewhere where Python will find it as it will be called by the Python script as you will see in that example.

BUT....... you can also send the control messages using OSC as you saw in you previous thread...... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13357/how-to-send-pure-data-osc-message-to-python

Or do you want python to be a "man in the middle"?
You would need Python to be able to receive and resend audio....... and need to look on a Python forum to find out how to do that (if it is even possible).

I stream directly from windows (using the net library object [udpsend~]... from a 32-bit Pd...) and receive on my RPI using [udpreceive~] 64-bit version that I have included in the zip below.
To send from 64-bit Pd I think you would need the MrPeach library to use [udpsend~] in windows........ For Linux I have included a folder "net" from which you can build both....... using the makefile inside...... for your system.
Examples also included.......
audio_over_udp.zip

To remove the Pd GUI use the -nogui command line switch that you can put in the "startup flags" box at the bottom of the Pd ....file.... preferences.... "startup" window that you find in the console top menu.
When you restart Pd the GUI will be gone.

For anyone interested, I was able to figure out how to do it using the original guide for earlier Xcode versions. The mistake I was making was to attach the full package of Pure Data to the debugging scheme as the executable. The correct way of doing it is to link the actual executable file as described below.

In Xcode (this is v 12.3):

1. Create a new debugging scheme
   

2. Edit the new scheme:
   

3. In the Executable drop-down menu, select Other...

4. Find the executable for pd (e.g. /Applications/Pd-0.51-3.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd)

The settings for the scheme should look like this (notice the setting for Launch - Automatically)

5. Build and run the external. This will start Pd. The actual debugging will begin when you instantiate the external object inside a patch.

In my case, I added a breakpoint inside the bang() method. Upon receiving the bang, the breakpoint is reached:

Hi all,
some months ago I've installed Pure Data on my lubuntu 64 bit, now I'm trying to update my Pd 0.50.2 to a newer version.
When I try to update the software list with "sudo apt-get upgrade", in the result I've got this message: <<The repository "http://apt.puredata.info/releases focal Release" does not have a release file>>.

Therefore, if I write sudo apt-get upgrade puredata I receive this message: "puredata is already the newest version (0.50.2-3)."

Now, what's the best way for updating Pure Data and do not lose my preferences?

I see that in the download page, there are many packages:
puredata-core_0.51.4-1_amd64.deb
puredata-core_0.51.4-1~bpo10+1_amd64.deb
puredata-dev_0.51.4-1_all.deb
puredata-extra_0.51.4-1_amd64.deb
puredata-gui_0.51.4-1_all.deb
puredata-gui_0.51.4-1~bpo10+1_all.deb
puredata-utils_0.51.4-1_amd64.deb
puredata-utils_0.51.4-1~bpo10+1_amd64.deb
puredata_0.51.4-1_all.deb
...

I haven't found on the web many information, so here I am.
I'm not a linux and pure Data expert at all and I don't want to do random things.

Many thanks

Hi ! This is pretty beta for know but is working. There are some mistakes like use of subpatches when abstractions would have been better. I’ve been building this kind of matrix sequencer for Akai’s APCmini and Midimix. This requires no externals.

There are two sequences, a green one which goes up to down, from left column to right column
and the red one which goes left to right, from upper line to down line.

The outputs are for each note : the value of the corresponding faders (vertical and horizontal) of each grid’s button.

You can select the 64 buttons of the apc grid, which will output a value only if they’re selected (coloured in yellow), like a trigger. However there is also a trigger unsensitive output.

The midimix 8 first faders are for (from left to right) upper to down lines
the apc 8 first faders are for left to right columns

the 9th fader of midimix is for the lenght of the green sequence, the 9th fader of apcmini is for the length of the red sequence

there are also on the APC 8 buttons for each column and 8 buttons for each lines, there’s a little bug to fix there, as you have to tickle them a bit at the beginning to make them work properly (just press some of the buttons until they light on correctly)

the two sequences are a modulo of the sum of bangs received by the main metro. Modulo of the lenght of each sequence. This sum is multiplied by 1 to 8 thanks to the buttons. And divised by 1 to 8 thanks to these buttons when you also press the last square button which is between those round buttons. So if you multiply by one and divise by two, the sequence will be twice slower. If you multiply by two and divise by one, the sequence will be as fast buy will go from step n to step n+2, n+4 …
The interest here is to create polyrythmical sequences. I,e : red sequence * 5, green sequence *6, both sequences lenght = 60. and things like that. And it’s pretty graphic

okay.
Really sorry for my bad english. Hope this could help/inspire someone. And i would really like returns, as I’m a bit beginning in pd.
I will soon share a new version with abstractions in place of subpatches, in order not to modifiy each subpatches if you want to modifiy something (some places of the patch are 64 repetitions of the same thing, which could be a bit boring to do). mtrxsequencerbeta1.pd
