my goal from doing this is to make a [phasor~], which only does one oscillation when it recieves a message, i can't simply use a line~ (at least AFAIK) to do this because i want to do FM on that [phasor~]. is there a way tho see what an object is made of, like opening a patch inside a patch, or is it just C code? i'm not good at C, BTW. could someone make a patch that does the same as [phasor~], or what i intend to do? both would be nice, because, if i just know haw the [phasor~] is made, i can probably transform it into what i need it for.

If none of the options above are possible, i have tried to use expr~/fexpr~ to time to turn off the [phasor~]/(output of [phasor~]), one attempt was with [fexpr~ if($x1[-1]==1,0,$x2[0])] where $x1 is the output of [phasor~], and $x2 is the frequency for [phasor~], and connect the output to [phasor~], but that didn't work. can somebody make a patch that reacts to [phasor~] reaching its peak: 1, and excactly between 1 and 0, when 1 is over and 0 has not started, and so turns the [phasor~] off?

help is greatly appreciated here:D

Theres is a phaser in the pd browser
under /doc/audio.examples/H15.phaser.pd

@4ZZ4 Could you [*~] the output of [line~] by your modulation signal?

You cannot "look inside" as externals have been compiled from c as you say...... unless you have the .c file.
But what you are looking for is in the "tof" library...... [phasorshot~]

@4ZZ4, I wasn't sure if you wanted the phasor to rest at 0 or 1, so I just picked 1. To start this "phasor", click the clear message.

@whale-av adding a [*~] to the output of [line~] won't help me here. how can i get the "tof" library, i checked the "lib" directory and all of it's subdirectories, and it wasn't anywhere there, on deken, it is there, but i don't know how to compile externals, can i use visual studio code? i do have a c compiler plugin for it.

@jameslo cool idea, i will try that, thanks.:D

@4ZZ4 Deken working again.
AArgh...... will I ever get this post right.
I just installed the tof (sources) for windows uploaded by Lucarda and it works for me in Pd 0.50.
It is not the sources...... everything is compiled for 64-bit.
Double-click the Lucarda one in Deken and it will install in windows.
The help file will need modifying...... see below.

Here is a 32-bit [phasorshot~] for windows.... shot.zip in case that is what you need.
Unzip it and change [tof/phasorshot~] to [phasorshot~] in the help file to see it working.
It will not create in 64-bit Pd.
David.

@whale-av i have 64-bit Pure Data, so i'll install via deken, but before i do, why shouldn't i install the updated version: v0.2.2 from fjkraan?
thanks for helping me so far:D

@4ZZ4 You can try it. I don't know if it is an "update" as such. I recognised the name "Lucarda"...... that is all..... a sort of "Brand loyalty" I suppose.
David.

@whale-av thanks:D

@whale-av image. why is this not properly loaded?

@4ZZ4 It looks like you need the cyclone library as well to use [cyclone/snapshot~]......... but you don't absolutely have to do that.
Try removing the cyclone/ part of the name and you can use the standard [snapshot~] and bang it for a result.
Lots of these libraries go back to 2013 and before, when extended was in general use and vanilla seen as a niche product..... so many authors assumed we had all the available libraries.
David.
