@cfry [makefilename %03d] creates a symbol with leading zeros:

I pick this solution, less cables and less screen real estate. And I may be using over hundred files. Great with all the other examples too.

Hi,

I would like to play a list of files named mysound-001.wav, mysound-002.wav, etc

This works if the files are numbered mysound-1.wav, mysound-2.wav, i.e. skipping the zeros:


But I can not figure out how to make the message sent include the zeros. I assume you need to make a symbol and then insert that in the message. :/

Thanks! I actually started to think about switch~ later on.

...could you somehow? I have some quite long wavefiles and I would prefer to not load them as tables.

Thanks, that is what I'll do, I just want to understand how it works. Ill try again in a few days.

I also received some instructions on how to install a backport of Pd on Patchbox OS. It did not succeed, I assume I did something wrong.

How does deken work? Will the search results differ depending on what version of Pure data you have installed? Or is the only difference what type of OS you use?

thanks, comport worked. But not the others. To get the other externals I have to compile them, right? Just copying them to the externals folder did not work.

Another question, what do I loose out on if I stick with Pd 0.50.2-3, instead of the latest?

Hi!

I successfully installed Patchbox OS:

[Beta] Patchbox OS image 2020-11-23

with Pd 0.50.2 installed

Works like a charm so far! External USB sound card works, headless autostart with chosen pd patch, audio works fine. Almost seems too good to be true.

Now I would like to install convolve_tilde and timbreID that can be found at GitHub I can not find William Brents webpage anymore.

Eventually I would like to install comport as well.

I installed the latest deken-plugin I could find (v0.7.8) through Find externals but I can not find anyone of those three externals.

What do I need to do to get them? Do I need to install the latest Pd version?

I do not have the skills to compile from source, yet. For now I just want to understand my options.

Thanks a lot!

@JMC64 what Os do you use on the Rp3?

Hi,
I am installing Pd on a Raspberry Pi running Buster, the default 32-bit install installed Pd Vanilla through the system Add/Remove Software, which turned out to be Pd 0.49.

I checked out this guide but it is for purr data.

How should I do to get the latest vanilla version? Hopefully I can install all needed externals through deken.

And, is there a better Os install than default Buster? I aim to run the Pi headless.

Thanks!
