Hi everyone, insert obligatory “I’m new at this” statement here.

So, I’ve made some patches that I quite like, a few using objects like sigmund~, and some where I lean into the glitchy quality of fiddle~.

So I’m having a great time, decide I want to make a guitar pedal out of one these patches, get a Daisy Seed and shoot, the hvcc compiler won’t work with objects like fiddle or sigmund.

I wanted to ask the forum what my options might be here, how I could maybe do something similar with objects Heavy will accept, or beyond that, what could I do with a different compiler or microcontroller (again, please excuse my ignorance.)

Thank you, I’m here to learn, and I’ve been having a lot of fun with pd.

@dialer_vox I recommend that you use plugdata and enable "compiled mode" in the menu.

This will give you early warnings about incompatible objects, so you don't create a patch that ends up not working with the compiler.

I don't have any immediate suggestions on how to replace these two objects. Sorry.
(since we can't do FFT in Heavy, due to its single sample processing, I don't think you can)

What if I were to use a raspberry pi?

Sorry, can you elaborate?

If I were to use a Raspberry Pi instead of a Daisy Seed, would that still be an issue? As in, is hvcc still a factor when using a Pi? Does Pure Data run in a different way on that platform? Just trying to find a path for hardware implementation for the patch as I’ve written it.

Thank you

The heavy compiler will behave the same way, whatever hardware you use. Using a Pi though, you can use Pd as is, without heavy. That being said, you can use any objects you like, whether native or externals.

@dialer_vox A RPI runs Linux, and so Pure Data (and Plugdata) can be run in exactly the same way as on any Linux computer (or Windows or OSX computer).
You would probably want to run a VNC program so as to see the RPI desktop on your laptop/computer.
Or if you have a spare HDMI screen, mouse and keyboard, you can use the RPI just like your laptop while you are setting it up....

But for live work you might need a better soundcard with lower latency than the built-in RPI card.
