hey, I saw this post and thought skipping a step is an interesting idea.

Here's one version I came up with, but the skipped step is randomized

Hi,

I haven't read the whole discussion, so I don't know if this was mentioned. I've worked a lot with RPi's and Pure data and here are my suggestions from experience.
First, get a Rasperry Pi 4 with 16 gigs of RAM. Since I've been using that I've had no problems, no glitching at all. Also, get rid of all the toggle boxes and number boxes, and any other GUI objects. Use a counter instead of a toggle and use a float object instead of a number box, things like that. I think the gui objects slow down everything.

I hope that helps.

Wow this is amazing. I need to learn the Purr Data objects a little better, but this is pretty amazing. Thank You!

wow thank you @alexandros that looks really great. It seems to work. Maybe I can ask Purr Data people if that is available.

@whale-av thank you for the suggestions. VNC might work. I use it to get into my raspberry Pi sometimes. I am sort of scared it might be a nightmare to set it up on a lot of computers, but maybe it's possible.

I think I might try and see if installing Pure Data on a thumbdrive is an option. that might be easier, and they can keep the thumb drives.

Ok thanks @whale-av. But using a vnc viewer they would just be watching my computer right? or having a view into my computer.
I could just use a projector and show everyone my desktop, but then no one gets any hands on learning.

I don't think chromebooks are windows either, but some kind of Google OS, maybe an Android variant.

Also, I'd rather not use extended because, hopefully, someone will take some initiative and learn Pd on their own, hopefully the latest Vanilla version

Hi,

I might be teaching some kids about synthesis. The school where this might happen doesn't want me to install any software on their computers.

So can Pure Data run in a browser? or are there any ways to have people program Pure Data without installing it on a computer?

Also, can Pure Data run on a Chromebook? I think the OS is just called Google OS.

Thank you.

@ddw_music Oh that's right, thank you @ddw_music for pointing that out.

There are a lot of good objects for manipulating lists in ELSE. You can probably easily make a row retrograde, inverted or retrograde inverted with ELSE objects, which i think would be some cool variations to have

How is this one? You bang the button and get a new tone row every time.

Hi @whale-av. Thanks for the reply.

I tried your suggestion.

I am getting this error:

inlet: expected 'float' but got 'list'

Any other ideas of what to try?

Thank you.
