Hi,

Thanks for your kind works regarding some of my (experimental) abstractions with ofelia / lua.
And congrat @Jona for your impressive work!

After seeing ofelia paused for long time, I helped a bit IOhannes to point the basic issues that prevented MacOS version to work properly in order to keep at least one graphic lib alive in pd... now thanks to his work Gem came back into the game (and is still quite actively maintained).

But I must admit, me and my students where a bit frustrated by gem limitations or ofelia complexity during workshop... so I recently switched to https://cables.gl/ and I can say that I don't regret it for now.
I learned the tool in only one month, did an interactive works with it for a big design event in Asia and made my first workshop in Taïwan at same time... I will use it for teaching interactive art as it's a powerful free online tool, open source, have many ressources, there is a local app version, and... all objects (called operators) are editable in javascript.

I am still keeping an eye at pd and Gem but my energy is currently focused on cables, at least for teaching.

Nice!
What's the use of [pix_offset] here?
I also found [pix_colorclassify] that could be helpful to separate channels easily

I will try to connect to chat gpt API tomorow using [shell] etc and see if I can parse useful stuffs
Maybe using purest_json external... but It seems that I need to add credit in an account first.

The closest thing I tried is https://soniccharge.com/synplant

Synthplant 2 vst, can listen to any sound, build a synth based on some FM patch magic that reproduce it sometimes at an incredible level of realism.

You should check that you don't have a patch named "comport" in one of you known path.

Plug data allows to drag and drop any file into the patch in order to get its path into a message.
That's very convenient.

Edit: I see that the drag and drop trick don't use escaped character so I will fill a bug report... should be fixed soon.

ceammc library have [snd.play~] that can read and import WAV, AIFF, MP3, AAC, ALAC etc... There is also [snd.file] that is the same as [soundfiler] but import all file format to a buffer. This package could literally replace basically all other libs. You can find it on deken or https://github.com/uliss/pd-ceammc/releases/tag/v2023.10

I think the PuREST_JSON Library could be a good try. There is the [rest] object which can send GET requests! I don't know much about the details there but it can definetly contact a server and get something back without opening a browser!

This is a wonderful project, but I always have issues with this lib under MacOS... There is a version in deken but It seems outdated. The project moved to https://codeberg.org/Residuum/PuRestJson

Check [hoa.3d.decoder~] help and examples

You can use [hoa.decoder~] from ceammc lib. It has all the updated hoa library for that.
