I have been running some old patches in the latest version of Pd and get error messages for [pink~] and [freeverb~] indicating they are not supported. Are there newer versions that provide pink noise and reverb?

@oleathlobhair They are both externals....... not a part of the Pd package.
If you have gone from a 32-bit version of Pd to a 64-bit version then externals cannot be carried over into the new version...... as they simply will not work.
You will have to install 64-bit versions in the 64-bit Pd "extra" folder.
You will still have the 32-bit versions in your old 32-bit Pd in its "extra" folder...... they will not be overwritten.

That is quite simple though.
Open (in your new Pd) in the Pd top menu "Help"... "Find Externals" and type e.g. freeverb~
You will be given a list of packages (libraries) that contain that object and you can install the one you choose.

Sounded great, until I tried it and got the following error messages:

@oleathlobhair You definitely have problems.
Have you tried what I suggested in your other thread?
Windows 10 has intentionally crippled your new Pd.

@oleathlobhair Actually, thinking more about this..... it seems more likely that windows 10 has crippled the wish app........ wish86.exe in the Pd/bin folder.
It deals with comms with the os, file handling etc.
Pd only talks directly with the os for audio and networking I think.

Someone might have an idea about how to pass flags to wish as Pd starts up?
I remember Pd has a startup file that can be altered by someone that knows what they are doing with scripts.
But I don't think it will be possible to give administrative rights to wish as Pd starts.

Have a look at the windows 10 settings for permissions for wish86 and try to give it more access to the file system........ as I mentioned in the other thread.
