Not really an answer to your question, but in PlugData/ELSE there is also [envgen~], which can be combined with the [function] object. I find that to be a lot more intuitive for creating envelopes.

@gentleclockdivider That's not good, what OS are you on, and are you using the plugin or standalone version? I tried it myself with macOS+Standalone, and I couldn't reproduce it there

This is probably related to PlugData's implementation of [else/keyboard], and not to ELSE itself.

@ddw_music Could you share this abstraction? I'd like to include something like this in PlugData, it would make it much easier for beginners to sync with DAW tempo.

@abel-arez Thanks! I've responded to this on Discord, but in case anyone is wondering the same: this is some kind of default behaviour that JUCE plugins have when you export them as a standalone app. I'm looking into ways to disable this.

@ddw_music gem support is a common request, but there are some unfortunately some problems when combining gem with JUCE. I'm gonna take a look at it soon, but it will probably take a lot of work to overcome this.

@ddw_music Hi! The position message is actually a list of 3 floats. It contains ppq_position, samples and seconds. The ppq_position you're reading is position in quarter notes. Hope that helps!

@ddw_music In the new version I released yesterday, the theme button is now in a popup when you click the settings gear icon.

Nice, love to hear that! Making PlugData a good tool for teaching/learning Pd is one of my main goals. In a while, all objects/inlets/outlets should have tooltips to guide the user without having to open help files constantly. There will also be a dialog where you can see all objects with descriptions.

On top of that, PlugData aims to be completely compatible with Pd vanilla, so anything you learn should carry over to vanilla as well.

@ddw_music Thanks! There's a button in the statusbar to change the theme. I realised that it was hard to figure that out, so it has a better place in the upcoming version!

@EEight I've seen it, it's a nice introduction to PlugData!

SoundSimulator's video was also very nice:

@jameslo Fantastic that you managed to solve this! I'm gonna try it right away. And @katjav's blog has helped me more times than I can count, it's such a good resource
