I want to load cyclone library that i copied in pd folder. when i use -lib cyclone. it is not loading? any idea , how to load external libraies in pd.

thanks.

ok, i'd like to share my *happy* experience too : don't use deb package (the one that i've found was missing some files ), just download binaries and put it into ../pd/extra/

hey, I found this helpful too, but also haven't had success loading cyclone and zexy in .39.3 extended...which i have switched to in order to have these libraries and externals...
Perhaps I don't know how to use startup options? I tried that but still get a "can't load library" response.
any help in this appreciated, I am a new user..
thanks

i'll talk to neko so i can make a sticky for this, but for the moment click here and get a version of pd extended that you can install easily with one click:

thanks, however I have installed from this link, first the stable releases .38.4 i think, removed that and now have .39.3 installed, and I still get the same response...
?

edit:
I now have .39.3 installed and zexy and cyclone load and work fine, however, pdp and pidip do not load..and this is expressed after the GEM loading boast..
any ideas of where I should point the startup or where I should move the libraries so that they load? I am using 10.4.6

thanks (as usual)

Hi Everyone,

I'm very new. Sorry wayyy in advance. Can someone please pretend I'm a complete idiot and very simply tell me how to install sigpack? I'm on windows xp, an running latest Pd version 0.39.3-extended. When I try to use 'em I get messages like: sp_rectify~
... couldn't create etc.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Ok, actually I've found that the objects of sigpack are in the extended version..but some of the examples pop up with errors..I must be using them incorrectly. Can anyone give me a quick 'how to'?

Thanks in advance (I have scoured the web for how to do bit crush, distortion etc but no luck)

Bill

did you try [decimate~]

that does nice bit crushing.

well, still very new..do you have a baby patch that might show me how to use it?
thanks!

Hiya

I've downloaded the pdmtl abstractions, and have followed their step-by-step instructions on the dataflow wiki:

unzip, make sure you have the other extermals necessary ('moocow','tof', 'iemmatrix', etc...), create folder in user's library, create filepath in pd's 'preferences'...

but everytime I try to call one of the abstractions, pd can't find it. :{

and yes, i've tried restarting my computer

I read in some other forum that you have to have the search path for 'moocow' b-4 the one for 'pdmtl', but it doesn't help.

Anyone else feeling this?
