If you're on linux, I just hack something using xinput and open source control...
Let me know if you're interested.

I'm a little late, but could you explain how you do it?
Thank you EEight.

You're welcome, I'm glad it works now.
You can also download them manually (and compile) if they are not in the repository or if you don't find them with Deken.
Greetings.

If I'm not mistaken and I understand you correctly, you must compile the externals for ARM.
Maybe did you copy them from an Intel computer?

The good thing about Pd is that you can really use it as software, but you can also turn it into hardware and design your own instruments.
And now that there are so many SBC's around and increasingly at better prices, it's much easier to create a dedicated instrument. You just have to learn something about GNU/Linux, maybe Arduino and basic electronics. Something you can learn in a very short time.

According to the patch of course, I like to go down to 32kHz. Lo-fi sound.

I agree with you. One of the most common problems is having too much. Less is more.
It's easy to say, not so easy to put into practice.

Ok, I just realized how old the post is. But anyway...

Hello and excuse me if I repeat something that has already been said.
Think of pd as an instrument, it does not depend only on its complexity to offer good results. It always seems that something more complex is needed to obtain better results, but it is not true. Even a crystal glass can be a musical instrument.
Forget about the screen and concentrate only on the sound.
Try building a very simple instrument and assign everything to external controllers. If you play a violin, for example, you have access to all its parts, the same thing. Musicians don't look at their instruments while playing.
Practice all you can and don't record it, it's easier to be yourself when you know there are no records. You'll have time to do it later.
Everything influences, the place where you work, the light, people, etc... It helps, but it's really a mental thing.
And most importantly for me, do it like nobody's ever gonna hear it.
Good luck Liam.

Check the CPU load. Maybe (and I'm not sure) you can make it work with a RPi 3, but not with any previous ones.

Well, thank you all so much for taking the time to help me.
The patches fit what I'm looking for testing, so perfect.

Regards!

Hi youaresound thanks a lot for your reply and sorry it took me so long to answer.
I'm working with Pd 0.48.1 vanilla, the other changes were simple externals through deken.
I have tried better your colibrí patch, it's very good and useful. Thank you for sharing.
I want to click on a gop slider and move it, but I don't need it either, more out of curiosity, so I'll be trying things out or looking for alternatives.
