Hi all,

For many years I have been using a bunch of Pd patches that i got from a friend to use my Enttec DMX USB Pro box with light fixtures in live setups. I recently got a new Macbook Pro and I installed Plugdata. A bunch of externals seem to be missing from those patches. I managed to track and install some, but these are still missing, which render the patches unusable

• resample
• |
• init

Not even sure what they do in the first place, so it's hard for me to locate which library they are in, if any. Sorry if this is terribly obvious!!!!
Thanks a lot!

@didipiman [resample] as an abstraction........ resample.pd
[init] used to load parameters on [loadbang] and it will be possible to replace that with a [loadbang] of messages to initialise the patch as it is loaded.
David.

@whale-av ok that one seems easy to replace then! thanks!
any idea about the other 2?

@didipiman What are the others? Maybe upload your patch to be checked?
David.

i managed to open the patch with an old computer that had an old pd install and i think i solved it. i thought "|" was a vertical line symbol because of the font, but it's actually an "l" object, alias for [lister], which i see was part of zexy. replaced it with [list]. i also was able to see that [resample], on the other hand, was an abstraction which uses standard objects.

HOWEVER, i used [list] and re-made that abstraction BUT the patch is still not working.

So I guess my question, rather than trying to revive that old patch, would be: is there any documentation on how to send data to Enttec DMX USB Pro from Pd? i did a quick search in Plugdata's external installer and found nothing labelled "DMX" but there might be libraries i don't know about.

cheers!

@didipiman This is a patch I made for vanilla for use at home with the Enttec Pro, but is missing some libraries on my system..... I might get some time to check what is missing later..... it definitely needs [comport] and anything else missing might be from "iem" or "list-abs" libraries.

thanks, David. I'll check it out!

@didipiman [list-replace] is a vanilla abstraction from the list-abs library, and contains other vanilla abstractions from the same library.
If you need the OSC messaging then I can upload stuff later, although the MrPeach library should get that going.
David.
