Hi all,

in Pd [version 0.52.1 on Linux] I'm trying to run this patch (a Wind Generator):

http://puredata.info/Members/thinkingsoundpd

...but in the console it says:

opened alsa MIDI client 129 in:1 out:1
 grid grid1 100 1 1950 100 1 1750 0 1 1 10 10 125 133
... couldn't create
ALSA input error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory
ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory
ALSA input error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory
ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory
 grid grid1 100 1 1950 100 1 1750 0 1 1 10 10 125 133
... couldn't create
ALSA input error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory
ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): No such file or directory

Which external do I need?

Are there any other wind generator or also blown sounds generator for pd on Linux?
Thank you,
a.

@atux Hmmm... 2009. It works great in Pd extended.
[grid] was in the "unauthorised" library.
If it has been updated for 64-bit then you will find it through "Deken"...... In the Pd menu bar..... help, find externals.
If it does not exist then you could replace it with a couple of faders for X and Y.
In the patch the grid has been created with the ranges......
X range 1 to 1950 , Y range 1 to 1750
Connect the faders in place of [grid] to the inlets of the [pd sound] subpatch.
X to the left and Y to the right.

[grid] http://ydegoyon.free.fr/software.html contains a git link. If it still works then you can compile for your system from source code.
But check Deken first.

Also grid is present in PurrData and pd-l2ork... pd-extended is really a dead project and should really be avoided now.

Yes, through Deken I found this version:

unauthorized-v0.0.extended-(Linux-i386-32)(Linux-amd64-64)-externals

Now the patch (in pd 0.52.1) works fine.
Thank you,

I ask for advice on the patch I'm talking about.

How do I save in a .wav file the sounds that are played?
This is the patch:

This is what I would do, but I don't know where to connect it :

Thank you,

@atux Writing to a file is already implemented (but in mono as the source is mono) in [pd dsp]..... at the bottom right of the patch window.

Was mono, I made it stereo:

The exported .wav file is ok.
