are you still considering adding an integrated looper, or have you moved on? it's really a cool idea and i'm looking forward to doing some live craziness with it. suppose sooperlooper should work just fine, though.

btw-- near future, i'm going to try and put this on a single-board computer (one in the $100 range, i suspect-- raspberry pi would never stand for this, lol).

anyway, thanks for doing this! sooo coool!

Hi helpful PD users,

I'm relatively new to PD, trying to learn. This is really discouraging, and taking away a lot of time from doing stuff like making music! So help is appreciated.

When I start up PD in verbose mode, this is what I see. Most GEM abstractions work.

In the EDIT-->PREFERENCES-->SEARCH PATH area, I've added MTL, and it can't find that either.

Tried double-clicking on the registry file in /BIN, but that didn't seem to do anything. There's also a PD-EXTENDED.BAT file in the home directory that looks meant to set up paths, but that doesn't do much, either.

There's three separate registry files for PD, one in CURRENT_USER, one in LOCAL_MACHINE, and one in USERS. They all have a list of libraries to load, but they don't seem to be doing anything.

I want all the libraries that come with extended, and any additions such as MTL to load, dammit! This has been vexing me for hours/days! Help!

Thanks for your quick response!

I couldn't get 0.43.1 or .4 to work no matter what I tried. I looked at the echo command, but it just said it was C:\users\John\AppData\Roaming

There was no folder for PD nor file.

So I'm going back to 0.42 for now, which works without problems. Loaded all libraries and after adding MTL to path and startup that works too. Already miss the triple-click and button bar plugins, but I'll be okay. Don't want to keep monkeying around with it so I guess I'll wait for the kinks to get fixed.
