Hello

I have imported a patch dump which has sysex strings containing MIDI data values for various synth parameters. There was no problem in extracting specific data values using $27, $45 etc.etc. Now I would like to normalize each extracted data value to a range of 0 - 1. This is easy enough for example, multiplying oscillator output values of 0 - 100 by 0.01, dividing pitch bend range values of 0 -12 by 12 etc.etc. Now I would like to assign variables to each of these normalized values like $output_osc1= 0.79, $pitch bend = 0.67 ... (I need to normalize these values for sending osc packets.) How can one do this in Pd ? Any advice would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
e

Hello

Thanks to Pd-extended and touchOSC, I am able to send signals triggered by touch finger gestures on an iPhone to Pd-extended which in turn sends coupled sysex signals to a yamaha synthesizer.

I hope that forum members like this.

Hello

I have just compiled and installed Pd-extended (0.42.5) on PPC Linux (Fedora). I am trying to run a patch that was created and functioning on OS X. Problem is "list-drip" does not load in my Linux install.

"list-drip" does seem to be present in my install:

$ find /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra -name 'list-drip*'
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-dripslow-help.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-dripslow.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip2.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip-help.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip2-help.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/sfruit/list-dripx.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/sfruit/list-dripslowx.pd
/usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/sfruit/list-dripx-help.pd

Please advise.

Many thanks,

Hello

I got the sysex strings from the MIDI implementation section of the service manual.

You could also use "MIDI Monitor".

Hope this helps.

Thanks, for pointing me in the right direction Maelstorm. I guess that I'll have to learn some more about the objects you mentioned.

Hello again

Just to clarify: the assigned variables should look like
$output_osc1 = midi_data_value of parameter / 100 or
$pitch_bend = midi_data_value (of respective parameter) / 12

I hope someone can throw light on this.

Hello moog1 and Maelstrom

Thank you very much for your prompt replies.

I turned on "verbose" and initially I got these messages:

tried /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/list-drip.pd and failed
tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-drip.pd and failed
tried /home/muse/Desktop/list-drip.pat and failed
tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-drip.pat and failed

tried /usr/local/lib/pd-externals/list-drip.pat and failed
tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-drip.pat and failed
list-drip
... couldn't create

After a reboot (several hours later), I got this console output:

tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-drip/list-drip.pd_linux and failed
tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip/list-drip.pd_linux and failed

tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-drip.pd and failed
tried /usr/local/lib/pd-extended/extra/list-abs/list-drip.pd and succeeded

So, yeah! after trying different paths, "list-drip.pd" was finally recognized. (I can't explain why this did not work previously, but . . . it works now )

Furthermore, if I try Find --> Find last error:

no findable error yet.

So all is well. many thanks for your help. Greetings, e
