Hi guys!
I am noob in pd, but i enjoy patching with Atomatonism.
Now i came to the limit of my 1 cpu core, pd started to freeze, but other cpu cores are almost not loaded.
I have googled pd~ object but i just don't understand how to use it.
Can someone explain it to me?

The idea is to have sub patches (1 patch = 1 cpu core) clocked by common clock (synced).
Is it possible?

Thanks!

I believe [pd~] was designed for this use case.

The help patch for [pd~] should have an example inside it. Does it work for you?

Yes, I made it work, i have loaded 3 instances of my "1 core limit patch" via pd~ in the 4th "super-process" patch, but it seems like 1 core is still about 100% load. Looks like it is one that does DAC, I run the whole thing at 192khz but it still freezes, but less then before so pd~ does the job.

Automatonism have 4 chanell mixer that does DAC, when i remove it the core that is heavy loaded is dropping the load.

Is there a way to make sure that new pd~ subprocess is "send" to ANOTHER core then "super-process" patch ?
