Many years ago there was this post: https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/4681/pure-data-generative-music-radio-stream-up-and-running

Thee is still some source left: https://github.com/rumblesan/PatchWerk-Radio but aside from that the project seems abandoned.

I guess the submissions should hold several interesting approchaes to the subject, so maybe its worth trying to go through the posts. I remember it inspried me a lot. Most of them appear to be offline though...

Here is the latest version of my submission for the radio station: https://github.com/noreabu/pd/blob/master/minimalchine/minimalchine_v2.pd

It is kind of an regular sequencer with some randomness at given intervals.

PS: Be careful with the reverb!! Its a pretty raw abstraction and may become very loud.

A friend of mine, for whom i created a patch has this issue as well... i'll go check the Tcl-Versions soon.

Maybe you habe both versions of Tk installed and PD is using the old one. On linux i would look for those librarys with like this:

locate libtk | grep .so
...
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtk8.4.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtk8.4.so.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtk8.5.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtk8.5.so.0

then check the links with "ls -l" if there is a libtk.so that points to libtk8.4 for example.

On UNIX i usually try "locate $file" (after an updatedb) to find files really quick. In Linux there is one folder for a lot of .tcl files. I guess my default installation points to: /usr/lib/pd-extended/tcl/pd-gui.tcl

Once i changed the values directly in there to give PD a dark theme and it worked quite well, but i changed back because i only went half the way and ended up with too much black elements on a dark gray bg...

Since you provided no patch, it is quite difficult to guess reasons for a high CPU-Usage.

But generally: In my Patches i implement switches to disable parts of the GUI i need for monitoring. This saves me a lot of performance, since GUI-Updates are quite heavy on the CPU.

If you have performance issues, i suggest using [f] objects instead of number boxes. For monitoring purposes i found it useful to have a switch to output numbers in boxes. As your patch grows this will always be a factor, since GUI updates are quite CPU-heavy.

[route abs_x ...]
|  
|     &#160;           [X] <- monitoring
[ f ]   [spigot]       
|        [0.123\ <- number box

You can take a look a my patch for HID to XYZ that i use for moving gem textures. It is still in development, but may give you some starting points.
hid_xyz.pd

I use a Xbox 360 Controller. The Left Stick is mapped to X/Y and RT/LT are mapped to Z. Nothing more is currently used.

Have you tried using [gate]?

Here is an example. The "Select Path" could be an number box.

[select path]
| [some controls]
| /
[gate] // number of desired paths can be set here
|
[s path1] [s path2]

Hi,

i recently got a launchpad and did not find a patch in the forums, that was good for me, so i made a new one

If you want you can check it out.

Pros:
pretty abstract, one subpatch with LED-ID (midi note) as parameter makes global changes to colors really easy, can disable single rows with "play" buttons to the right, can be included as subpatch

Cons:
Lots of global receives and sends (all starting with "lp_")

Cheers

Update: I've made some addtions and also created a virtual midi instrument with presets for hydrogen (in drum rack mode). Works pretty good, but a way to synchronize to a global time would be nice...

For easier access you can check out the patch, along with much more other stuff on github: https://github.com/noreabu/pd

Hi,

i have an issue with pix_film, which gives me a white output, if it can't load a file...

Is it possible to catch the error message and send a bang if [pix_film] fails to load a file?

A patch is attached but it's more or less a sketch which can record and play 6 different videos and has an custom polygon black overlay. Fast start: check red and green checkbox and press the Keys from: A-H / Y-H.

Thanks and feel free to use my patch, suggest stuff i could improve or complain about it! I will share the final patch, if anyone is interested.
