I have been testing the various Pure Data distributions, getting lower performance than Pure Data Vanilla by the way.

I wanted to try Pure Data CEAMMC, and it has been somewhat difficult to download because of problems with snapd. So I thought I would ask, what are the features of that distribution? I have not been able to find many details about it. And if you can tell me if it is equal, better or worse in performance than pure data vanilla; I would really appreciate it!

my personal opinion is that this distribution does not have much significant improvements on the GUI, so one might just install the library into Vanilla instead, cause that's the most significant difference.

As far as other forks, PlugData seems to be the one that really offers something 'else', which is being able to run as.a plugin (with limited externals). And the standalone version can install more externals and has a real different and major GUI improvement. It had some performance issues but the next version is running faster than Vanilla

@porres I understand, I guess I will try to download the ceammc library at some point, even if I have not found it in dekken likewise.

I'm interested that you mention an improvement in PlugData performance, should I download the stable or testing version to test that?

test, or nightly build

@porres I've been testing plugdata version 0.9.0 (pre-release) for a few days now, and it's definitely much faster than pd vanilla on my laptop!

Thanks for the tip, it's an excellent and convenient distribution.

it seems it's not available for linux?

@porres I guess so. I can't find it in dekken... usually if I don't find the externals I'm looking for there I don't go to much trouble
I couldn't find it on the web either though.

yeah, I guess they don't offer for linux, can't remember why, but I remember this sort of issue... well, ELSE is better in this sense

@Carambolooo It is available for Linux...... https://github.com/ceammc/ceammc.github.io
The help files you can compile from here..... https://github.com/ceammc/pd-help/blob/gh-pages/README.md

I couldn't find the ceammc library for vanilla here, only the pd-ceammc distribution

@porres Ah..... I woke up this morning wondering if that would be the case. What is the chance that installing it and then setting a path to the library for Plugdata would work? Or do you think that it makes changes to the Pd binary?
You obviously have much more experience of such things.
