I've just downloaded Pd-0.41.4-extended in which the bug in the previous version that prevents makeapp function work properly has been fixed, so you can successfully create applications from a folder or a patch. One thing I can't really understand though: although the application you create works as a stand-alone one, unlike it's in Max, you can still edit the patch as if you opened it with Pd. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what's the purpose of creating an application while it still works like a regular patch?

Anybody knows a better abstraction for noise reduction than the one in the audio.examples?

The one in there makes a lot of funny noises after the amount of noise to be masked goes over a particular point. I know this is happening because the higher the amount of noise is the more partials are to be masked, which cause the sort of spectral distortion I am experiencing. I can't really think one but was wondering if there is any "trick" to sort out this problem?

Hi all,

Is it somehow possible to have the spectral analysis of a sound made by fft objects in Pd converted to MIDI note numbers? Like it's made in OpenMusic?

Thanks in advance

I just tried the Make app function that comes with the latest version of Pd, but it doesn't work due to the following error:

chmod: /Users/taylancihan/Desktop/Scores/CCP/cp.app: No such file or directory
chmod: /Users/taylancihan/Desktop/Scores/CCP/cp.app: No such file or directory
while executing
"exec -- chmod -R u+w $appdir"
(procedure "makeapp_createapp" line 5)
invoked from within
"makeapp_createapp $appdir"
(procedure "menu_makeapp" line 18)
invoked from within
"menu_makeapp 0"
(menu invoke)

Has anyone have an idea about that?

Thanks,

Taylan

Has anyone of you ever heard about a patch that converts wav or aif file to bitmap, so that you can edit it visually by using photoshop or any other graphic editing software? I have just seen that is done by using Adobe Audition, and the guy who showed it to me said that he remembers someone tried this with Pd...

Hi all,

I went through all forum, wiki pages, googled if I can find any help, but am still unable to make the MIDI working on my Pd 0.39.3, on OS X 10.4.11. There is nothing to select as MIDI input or output in the preferences, and I honestly don't know what to do to solve this... Any help would be really appreciated..

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I know that [send] must have a name matching with the [receive], and I figured out that it can't be changed dynamically by using something like .

I have an abstraction with [r $1], and I change its variable by typing an argument when creating it. My problem is, I have to use almost a hundred of this abstraction in my patch, where each of them has a different name, and which are supposed to receive data from a "single" location sending a long list of numbers and symbols to each of the abstractions in a particular order. I believe there must be an easier way other then using hundreds of [send]s, and activate them one by one in an order, but I couldn't figure out what it might be.

I've tried another solution with a text box like:
[;
$1, $2, $3, etc;(

where the first variable is dynamically changed to match [r $1], but it says "error: $1: symbol needed as message destination", although the first component of the list that is sent to it is already a symbol, the name of the abstraction that I want my data to be sent.

Any idea?

Hi everyone,

My knowledge on Lilypond doesn't go beyond the basic introduction that I read on their web site, which doesn't really bring a solution to the problem in my mind. So, here is a question for those of you who actually use it - if there is any, is it possible to route the text from Pd to Lilypond to create a score in real-time? Or, is there any other way of doing that beside GEM, which likely to be a solution that is doable, but requiring great amount of CPU usage at the same time?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I just wonder if it is possible to route MIDI output of Pd to another application in order to record what's played in Pd? Or, is there any way to save the MIDI played in Pd as a MIDI file so that it can be opened by another application, say, a notation software?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I wonder how I can work on multiple layers in Gem. More specifically, how can I use worldlight object affecting only one object while the rest remains unaffected?

Thanks

OK everyone,

I built this counter which is supposed to count continuously up to 10 and down to 0. When I turned it on, I realized that it actually goes 1 step further than the limits I put into; 11 and -1. After spending some time to figure out what might be the possible problem, I decided to start all over again, and behold! this time it began working properly! I, then, compared the two very carefully, and couldn't find even a single difference!! I am totaly confused. I have uploaded the patch that contains two of the counters, and will be glad to have some opinions about that problem...

Thanks...

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to learn how to compile max objects into Pd?

Hi everyone,

I've just installed Pd extended 0.39.3 on my MacBook Pro, with OS 10.4.10. Since the fftease objects are not included in the package, I put the ones that I had been using with the previous version into the extras folder. When I tried to use them in Pd, it says; "mach-o but wrong architecture", and cannot create them. I think it is because the objects that I am trying to use are for PPC, but somehow I was able to use them with the previous version. I checked the Lyon's website to see if I can find a universal version of those objects, but could find nothing.

I am going to make a performance on next friday, and the patch that I am planning to use is merely based on those objects!

Any idea of how I can solve that?

Thanks

Hey all,

Does anyone know if there was any abstraction that realizes the bit crusher effect on Pd?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have just downloaded Pd 0.40-2. As far as I know from my previous Pd experiences on windows, there should be a folder into which I could load extra objects, but I have searched everywhere and was unable to locate one. Can anyone help me how to solve this problem?

Platform : Mac OsX 10.4.10, MacBook Pro

Thanks

I think what you're talking about is formant speech synthesis (analysis). I had to make a presentation about that, and honestly, I did without understanding a single concept about it! - it was the way beyond my audio and math knowledge. Here is the wiki page for it might be a starting point for you, and good luck!

I might be remembering wrong but weren't the object and the message boxes also colored a little grey in the older versions?

You mean grey colored boxes and stuff? I had this once, but I can't find it anymore. As far as I could remember it was an older version of one of the extended releases by Hans-Christoph Steiner, but it doesn't exist anymore -- or I can't find it. Give it a try if you want.
