I'm building a music player that uses readsf~ many of the files have spaces in the names and readsf~ will not open a file with spaces in the filename.

Previously I was using soundfiler and tabplay~ this combination had no problem with the spaces but would not play very long files in their entirety. I tried the maxsize command but still was unable to play all of a 20min file.

The names of my audio files are displayed on a screen. Replacing the spaces with underscores works but is ugly. It also requires the renaming of all the files.

is it possible to swap one character with another within puredata?

I presume the only other way is to create a list of track titles and use that for my display, However I'd like to avoid hardcoding this.

I'm using extended for this project so [tab_max_index] worked, after I realised I needed to ad the array as an argument.

thanks!

This seems simple but has got me scratching my head!

I have a music player patch, there are 200 tracks on the player and I want to find the most popular.

I'm listing the amount of times played in an array, how can I find the most commonly played entry?

Finding the highest number is easy but how do I relate that to a specific index?

@acreil said:

creasingly detuned over time, so this limits the maximum modulation amount versus decay time. So if the goal is to be "lush" sounding, it's possibly better to keep modulated delays out of the main recirculating part.

great sound, thanks!

@whale-av

thanks!

I'd love to try the reverb282 patch but cant get anything out of it, can someone post a patch with it connected to audio input and output?

I did it with netsend

I want to send OSC messages from a droidparty patch to computer over a wifi connection. I need to use udpsend or sendOSC to transmit the messages but neither are included in Pd Vannilla/libpd that drodparty uses.

How can I add these objects to droidparty? or is there another way of getting an OSC message out of droidparty?

I'm compiling pd-extended for my odroid-u3 as it isnt on the repo yet.

Ive downloaded all the source files and followed the instuctions in "the full approach" here:

http://puredata.info/docs/developer/WorkingWithPdExtendedSources

when I run the command: "make install && make package" I get the following error

config.status: creating src/Gem/Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `src/Utils/Makefile.in'
make[2]: *** [/home/odroid/Downloads/pd-extended/externals/Gem/Gem.pd_linux] Error 1

make[1]: *** [externals_install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/odroid/Downloads/pd-extended/packages'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I presume this because there is something wrong with this command from "the full approach"?

Symlink Gem to pd-svn/Gem and pd-svn/externals/Gem

ln -s ../gem.git Gem
cd externals
ln -s ../../gem.git Gem

This is a kind of quantised 6 channel theremin instrument I thought you may be interested in:

Info.

This a test rig for an installation I’m planning. It comprises of a Raspberry PI running Raspbian and Pd-Extended. This is connected to an array of 6 proximity sensors via an Arduino with the Firmata firmware.
The Puredata patch allows you to chose or create scales, select tempo, note ranges and transposition. Sound is produced by 6 channels of Karplus Strong string models with delay. The built in RPI sound output is used.
The Raspberry is oveclocked to 1ghz, CPU usage is around 75%

Im trying to get my Arduino Duelmillanove to talk to my Raspberry Pi running Pd-extended and Rasbian.

Typing "dmesg | tail" into the terminal reports that the Arduino is attached to /dev/tty/USB0

so as usual I type this into the creation argument for the arduino object:

[arduino /dev/ttyUSB0]

However the Pd console reports

[comport] **ERROR** could not open device /dev/tty/AMA0

Why is Pd trying to use AMA0 when I tell it to open ttyUSB0?

Finally got pd-extended installed in the Pi, but I'm getting no sound output from Pd.

The output meters on pd console show level, but there is no audio from the jack output or hdmi, (I'm using and HDMI montor)

bcm2835 ALSA hardware is selected in audio settings, the volume is turned up in alsamixer.

ive updated the firmware with rpi-update to no avail.

has anyone else had success with rasbian and pd-extended?

I need an interface kit to make a professional GUI for a Pd patch.

The kit will need to feature drop down menus, sliders, text/number displays and toggle switches.

I dont really need fancy graphics, just a solid basic interface more conventional that possible with Pd objects.

I'm using Linux, dont really need compatibility with other platforms.

I'm using the dmxsend external for a project using the enttec dmx usb pro.

an argument sets the number of DMX inputs so for 4 inputs would look like this:

[dmxsend 1 2 3 4]

Problem is, I want to use 120 inputs and when the external is created the inputs are squashed together making them impossible to connect.

is there a way of making the box wider? maybe a text wrap parameter in PD?

I've been having trouble with a patch locking up puredyne after 2 hours.

in the task manager the memory usage of pd-extended is gradually climbing, 1MB every 10 seconds.

Ive traced the problem to an subpatch that contains 350 tables. These tables are drum hit samples.

when I delete the tables the memory usage stops climbing. Looks like a memory leak type thing.

I'm using soundfiler to write the tables, sometimes when i search for last error the soundfiler is highlighted.

I'm looking for an easy way to do this, thought that editing the patch as a text file might be the answer.

or is there another way?

This ones got me stuck!

I have a patch where I want the user to be able to select a preset by typing its number followed by <enter>

max has an object callled [numkey] that serves this purpose.

so, how do store the number key presses in order till enter is pressed?

Thanks.

Im looking for the fluid~ external, cant find it anywhere. Fluidsynth mention that its included with their package but I'm buggered if I can find it.

despite all the help I gave up trying to compile

the instructions on the puredata site just dont work, seems simple, download source run a few commands to link dir's and another to make the package. but...

Anyway, I failed but found that this build below works on the odroid-u3

scroll down to the bottom and install 0.43.1 - 23-7-12. there was one dependancy that needed adding via an apt-get but I dont remember the name.

http://arduinosynth.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/compiling-pd-extended-on-armhf-armel.html

So the U3 is up and running with the factory installed version of xubuntu and pd-extended, sound is fine too, powerful little board!

so it seems I'm having problems with the symlink commands:

it says:
Symlink Gem to pd-svn/Gem and pd-svn/externals/Gem

commands:

ln -s ../gem.git Gem
cd externals
ln -s ../../gem.git Gem

the directory I have my source code has the following dirs:

Gem
pd-extended
pure-data-svn

currentli it bums out here:
