@jyg Thank you for the kind words!

Yes, you're right in that the formuls synth is a single Pd patch that hosts synthesis and effects externals written in Faust. There is an FFT based audio effect (Rolling Freezer) on the master bus which is Pd native, as Faust is not able to do this.

Using a modified version of the libpd C++ RtAudio example, the patch runs 'headless' using a Python frontend. The control GUI was created with Open Stage Control, which allows bidirectional OSC messages to be sent and received between the control interface and the Pd patch backend.

I've released an album and an EP of music made using my Pd based performance software, formuls.

I have also successfully downloaded and installed ml-lib via Deken on pd-0.49.1 64bit macOS 10.13.6.

Great work for getting this on Deken, @jamiebullock. I haven't had chance to try it out, but I'm very much looking forward to doing so.

This looks fantastic! I can't wait to experiment with XOD.

Here's a patch that I used to parse incoming data from ROLI's Lightpad Block. It's simply reassigning the MIDI channel number to a voice number by prepending the values in a list with it. It handles note, cc, bend and aftertouch messages.

The patch is rudimentary, but it might be of some help.

@mod This is very nice! I can see a lot of applications beyond the saturation patch, so will definitely be playing around with this. Thanks!

Wow! This is beautiful @schafferdavid. Are you using glsl to manipulate the images? Do you know of any good resources for learning how to write shaders etc for GEM? I'm finding it quite impenetrable, but really want to explore it.

@lead @anibalzorrilla Thanks! Glad you've found the patch useful! I'll be posting more when I get round to it!

So, I've updated the patch. I've approached it a little more theoretically and implemented some upsampling, butterworth filters, and changed the transfer function in the table to retain wave phase information fidelity (better) and generally produce a "smoother" sounding saturation effect.

As with before, play with it, hack it, enjoy!

Hi Folks!
I've created a saturation/overdrive effect. It's based on Miller's E05.Chebychev example in Pd, and I've "tuned" it by ear through experimenting with different transfer functions. It's cheap and dirty, but does the job!

Play with it, hack it, enjoy! All feedback welcome!
