Hello all,

I recently made this patch that let's you explore sequencing outside of stepsized grids. Every step can have a individual steplength and amount of repetition while increasing or decreasing it's initial state. A lot of it is inspired by the way Mark Fell approaches sequencing on the Multistability Album, hence the name mtsb. It has midi support, so you can use it with any synth. You can download it from my github or find attached to this message:

Thanks man that just saved my ass!!!

Hey guys,

i'm looking for a solution to browse file through pd without stopping the software([openpanel] does that sadly). Anybody knows of some good abstractions or extensions?

Thank you and all the best

Okay after a lot of trying a lot of distros. I ended up installing xubuntu 17.04 and the gui seems to work porperly again. Strange thing is that i tried it with other distros(ubuntu 16.04, lubuntu 16.04) inside virtual box and everything seemed to work but when i would install system on my harddisk i would have the troubles i described in my first post. Should i post this bug?

@whale-av Hmmm my system says i have tcl/tk8.6 installed. I removed it then installed 8.5. While removing tcl/tk8.6 it also removed the puredata-gui so in need to install it again but while installing it also installed tcl/tk8.6 again. Now i have both version but i think pd is using 8.6 because i see no diffrence the problem is still there. Can i tell pd somehow to use another version?

Okay i realized how to turn off auto-patch and the main problem is that patch cords are only visible when they are straight

Hey guys,

made a reinstall of my linux system and switched from xubuntu to lubuntu.
When i reinstalled pd via apt-get i realized that a lot of patchcords where missing in my patches. Actually there are just not visible. Also there is a strange autopatch function that connects object when i drag them closer together automatically.
So i thought it maybe the version so i compiled pd 0.46.7 on my machine but nothing changed the patch cords were still missing. So i have the assumption it is realted some how to tk/tcl and other gui stuff. Any suggestion how to fix this?

PS: I realized also some other stuff. For example there is no bangs only toggle gui objects but the toggles don't show their current state.

Thank you

I'm using textfiler and msgfile, to get values from a textfile. The programm which creates the text file uses a **, **(comma) as the delimiter in a floating point number. The problem now is that the two pd objects are made in a way that they use commas to delimite messages. When i use a float value like 0,01 it will output 0, 1 because after the delimiter there would be a number like 01 but the zero is cut. Any ideas how to solve this inside pure data? (I know i could write a script)! Thank you very much!

Which means i have to add a lot of search paths to pd which is a little bit annoying.

It's a pity this topic is not discussed more. Me for example don't want to make one big abstraction folder. I'd rather have seperate folders of collections of abstractions inside the gloabl abstraction folder.

@Franx i will post something in the forum and let you know once i made someting that works the way i want it to work!

Thanks LiamG. Completly forget about list split object. Route doesn't output anything. But i just use a cascade of list split to get it right!
@Franx I use Audacity's Functionality to create analyze audio files, which creates a label track then i export the label track(which is basically a txt file), to load the cuepoints into pd so i can use them as cues for a performance.

Hey Patcherfriends,
I try to parse a line from a txt file which looks like this:
72 , 726000 72 , 726000 B(actually it is a exported Label Track from a Audacity File)
I use:
[msgfile]
|
[unpack f s f]

From the two floats i get the int of the number and it's floating point(which is the one behind the comma) for the symbol output i get an type mismatch. This is actuallay not a big issue since the patch works but it makes it hard to debug it. I also would like to use the Letter B at the end to Trigger diffrent Events at certain cuepoints. Any recommondations how to solve this?

Dear Pd-Users,

Since a few days i am experimenting with this circular buffer. Where is use poke~ and count~ to write to a buffer continously. So far so good. My problem is that when i want to stop to write into that buffer at a certain point, count~ resets it self to zero, which i don't want in every case. It would be nice to have the possibility to stop counting at a certain sample and later on continuing counting from that sample. I tried to use phasor~ for that but it seems to be not as accurate as count~ since the two run out of phase when phasor runs at 1 HZ. I also had issues when overdubbing with poke~ using phasor~ as indexdriver that glitches in audio would start to appear after some overdubbing cycles.

Maybe some one had already had this problem and solved the issue. Would be nice.
Thank you!

Best Moritz

Hey there pd community,

short question, is there a way to get a list of the abstractions used in a patch?

Thank you!

I stumbled upon the possibillity to create objects, and abstractions from my library, in subpatches via messages sent to pure data.
They are formatted as the following(x and y are the positon on canvas in subpatch)

[;pd-subpatchname obj x y name-of-object args(

I thought this would be really cool cause it would give me the oppurtunity to make my patches more dynamic. For example making a synth with no fixed number of oscillators, but with the possibility to set the number of oscillators dynamically,(I am thinking especially about communication with vvvv or other software where number of objects in a patch can change dynamically or the possibility of the poly~ object in max).
Now i am stuck with the following problem. When i create a abstraction via a message dsp is not running inside the abstractions. It only starts to work if i delet a random object from the abstraction. Also loadbang seems to be disabled when i use this method for creating objects. Anybody with a little expierence has found a work around for this?

Thanks!!!

Another granular synth thing. Its a module which makes a graincloud of up to 32 grainvoices. Should also work in vanilla if you use mods diy-relationals(see this post: http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-9767-punoogle). Just check out the help patch, i think it should be clear. Any feedback much appreciated!

Does anybody know an object or smart solution to manipulate all the elements stored in a list at once, like for example multiplying it by a certain number to scale them to a specific range?

Thank you!

Dear PD-Community,

I am currently working on an media installation for a museum using pd and vvvv. The installation cosist of several visual scenes which switch after a certain time has passed and for each scene there is also an related pd scene. I use switch~ object to tunr dsp off for the scenes not used at the moment, but wheneverything is turned of in the init mode my cpu usage is still up at 60 to 70 %. I fear that if i add new scenes it will increase and that i will suffer from audio dropouts when scenes are switching( because than for a short time 2 scenes are active). Anybody knows better tricks to deal with cpu usage in pure data?

Thank you very much!

Dear PD-Community,

I just switched from pd vanilla to extended and having some issues because important objects like metro, dac~ can't be created by pd. Maybe somethings wrong with pds search path? Had anyone had this issue before? I'm using pd extended 0.43.3 on Windows 7 64-bit.

Many thanks in advance.
