@60hz Well, that was easy! Thanks!

@whale-av actually this is the absolute path

/Applications/Pd-0.51-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pdsend

that is what I get when I drag pdsend to Terminal

Is there some flag I should use in Pd?

I noticed that when I open the help patch and try it while already started my patch, Pd log window reports that [netreceive] channel is already active. So something is happening, at least.

Hi,

trying to figure this out too. Followed the same tutorial. Nothing happens.

I am on OSX 10.14.6 Mojave running Pd 0.51-4

Python code:

import os

#write code here

def send2Pd (message=''):
    
    # os.system("echo '" + message + "' | pdsend 3000")
    
    #quoted out above and replaced with:

    os.system("echo '" + message + "' | /Nicklas/Applications/Pd-0.51-4.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pdsend 3000")


def audioOn():
    message = '0 1;' #Id = 0 (DSP), message=1 (turn it on)
    send2Pd(message)

def setVolume():
   vol = 80 #Set volume value (0-100)
   message = '1' + str(vol) + ';' # make a string for use with psend
   send2Pd(message)

print ("send to Pd done?")

Pd code

I tested to just copy and paste some snippets into [text define] and to use it with [text sequence]. It works pretty well, stepping it through with [metro].

Good point with Python. I'll have to look into that.

Hi,

I intend to use data that I have received stored as excel files and alternatively text files. I would like to use this data as a stream of control messages.

The text file is formatted like this:

"here is"
"information"
"about this"
"section"
0
0
0
12
123
3232
12345
1243132
1233243
232
322
112
0
0
"here is"
"information"
"about the next"
"section"
0
0
0
23
54
0
0

As a first test I would like to be able to something along these lines:

conditional take action:
skip/pause/etc depending on symbol (0,")
and
use [metro] to bang to output each line.

I guess there are several ways to go, but the text files are huge so I prefer to not edit them, at least at this stage.

EDIT: the excel/text file has 202569 lines... not that great to load at once, that is why I would like to read it like a stream.

Cheers

thanks @bocanegra & @ingox

Hi,

Sorry for being a bit lazy, but how do you make abstractions (or even just subpatches?) that accept arguments, i.e [my_abs 10 12 42].

Cheers

thanks, that is neat.

So operations like this are more suitable for arrays, since there is no vanilla function?

Hi,

I need to check a list with 11 elements for 0 (or 1) and would like to know which element has it.

I could do it like this...

[unpack f f f f f f f f f f f] and then on all outlets [sel 0]-[1(, [2( etx

...but rather just search the list.

Thanks!

@cfry Soundflower has attenuators....check that they are all the way up in Audio MIDI Setup.

Hi, this was the solution but not in Audio/Midi Setup which I already double check, but in Sound Settings. There you can attenuate sound drivers in/output. I forgot this since I so seldom have to do it. Annoying that there are two different applications for this. It could at least be included in Audio/Midi settings.

Thanks for helping me out!
