Hey, mod... I post here a thread in pd-list, because I want to use your compressor... and I want your opinion.

For my live looping-system, I do beatbox, using a Shure58. The mic has very good quality, but I realized that the kicks and snares, are recorded very loud (max signal = 4). So, I want to use a compressor (I though using tanh(), but some people told me that it distorts a lot and extra harmonics).

I want to use your compressor (almost my FXs uses DIY2 effects). After several tests, I concluded that it is very difficult to compress the first peak of a kick, for example. Then, the audio is compressed... but the first peak is still there.

When trying to save the original sound to disk, Pd has to normalize from 4 to 1. And, compressed with your compressor, too: 4 to 1 (more or less).

So, I thought about using the compressor with attack and release at lowest and then, for those peaks, use something like [expr~ (tanh($v1/1.5))*1.5], not to cut to 1, but 1.5. So, It don't distort the sound so much.

What do you think?

i think i answered this on pd list? you ok now?

"mod", "hardoff", "I go bananas", "matt davey"... I'm confused with your pseudonyms, more than the compressor problem!

Ok, we continue there.

Just found this forum and registered just to say... THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!! Thanks a lot for this already great toolbox

I agree with you. Totally.

Hey! great set of patches. Had this laying around on my hard drive for awhile but I never realized just how cool this thing really is until messing around with it today.

One thing: I can't seem to make your phase vocoder make sound. I load a sample, send it a value from 0 - 1 from a slider and nothing happens. When applying a scope to the output of the main subpatches on the inside of the patch I am getting almost no activity. Any suggestions or did this patch never end up getting completed like some of the other ones?

are you using smp-pvoc1.pd ??

i just tried, and it seems to work ok here...

the inlet just specifies a start position and then it plays from there automatically, so really no need to use a slider.

on a side note, would anyone with a bit of repository knowledge like to volunteer to add this library to pd-extended???

i've been wanting to do it for years, but to tell the truth, github and sourceforge and all that sort of stuff just scares me.

Hello guys,

It seems that the website with the link for DY2 is down. Can, please, someone upload the zip or send me over by e-mail (jcordeiro.pt [at] gmail [dot] com)? I was relying on this for a weekend project and suddenly all my plans went down the hole
much appreciated.

lol, doesn't take long eh....yeah my web hosting expired, and i decided not to renew it.

i just attached the .zip to the original post, so you can download there

Hardoff, I use your patches all the time and am pretty excited to see there's an update. Thanks!

Hey, it's not an update, it's the same old patches. I just uploaded the .zip again cos my web hosting thst the old one was on has expired.

There actually IS a diy3 on my computer, but it's so full of bugs that i never released it.

Maybe one day....

Lol, I hear you there. I have a significant update of my mmb library that I haven't gotten around to finishing, either. Some pretty cool things that are just sitting here on my laptop. Thought I'd be done a year ago, and I still haven't gotten around to what really amounts to just tidying everything up and making it all consistent.

Yeah, I thought this was a recently-started thread since there was recent activity on it. Anyway, still great patches, still use them all the time. Thanks again.

Hey thanks, this archive it's impressive, really a nice and useful work!

wow thanks a lot for this

Crikey, I'm so late to the party it's ridiculous! :/ I only discovered DIY2 a few months ago, but even 10 years after it was born, I'm loving it. Is it something you might consider open sourcing as a repo, mod? I know that there a plenty of users out there that build on DIY2 so why not combine the efforts? I'll bet that a bunch of us have made the same kind of tweaks here and there too.

Just wantd to thank.....Thank you, Hardoff

I may not be entirely correct in my methodology but is there a main window I can go that plays it all, also it would be beneficial to have a txt file that shows what each patch does. If there is no homepage how would you suggest I implement It into my own projects?
