couldn't think how else to word it

I'm told that [knob] is in iemlib so i've installed it through synaptic package manager and everything in there (apart from [knob]) seems to be working fine. The problem is... that knob.pd isn't actually in the folder. Neither is it's help files or anything. I was then told that [mknob] in moonlib is a good alternative... so i installed that and this time the mknob-help.pd file is there and there is an mknob.pd_linux but there is no mknob.pd so not working either

All other externals in both libraries are working fine so it seems like they are installed correctly. but then im using synaptic so why wouldn't they be. The preoblem seems to be that the actual files are missing from the downloaded folders.

any ideas on how to fix? Perhaps if i could just get a copy of mknob.pd or knob.pd and stick it in my extras folder

Did you ever find an answer to this?

@raynovich Uliss CEAMMC has a 64-bit gui knob [ui.knob]
It is available for 64 bit Pd in windows and probably for other os's through Deken.
If you need to compile it then I think this is the correct link.....
https://github.com/uliss/pure-data/tree/ceammc/ceammc/distrib
For Linux there is an OS specific distribution for many systems through Snap.....

P.S. All of Millers Pd downloads.... 0.49 0.50 0.51........ and before..... and after...... are "Vanilla" as they have no extra externals bundled into the download.
.......... Externals can be added through "Deken" like this........
You can install externals easily for your system by opening help from the top menu in Pd.
Then click "Find Externals" and in the search box type (for example)........ knob
All libraries that are available for your version of Pd that have an object with knob in its name will appear.
Select the library you want and follow the instructions and restart Pd when it is done.

@whale-av
I was misusing terminology. I am using pd 0.51-1 which I believe is Vanilla?

Find externals I am trying now.
I did as you recommended. I feel really dense as I cannot seem to get knobs to work for me on this mac.

This is seemingly one of the only things I cannot get working yet.

Success!!!! Ok, I downloaded and created the correct path! Thank you. I am up and running with knobs now. Now to figure out how to use them!

@whale-av Thank you.

And sorry for the confusion in speaking about "vanilla."
