So, I took several screenshots of some patches I have in plugdata, and I modified and superimposed them to have a background on my laptop.

I don't know how much relevance this has for the forum, but I really like to take advantage of programs like plugdata beyond its general purpose! in this case, for the design of a background :'')

@oid Since it looks easy, I may try to build pd myself with that caracteristics then. Thanks for the guidance!

It's just a probability, as Debian is a very insistent system in not using programs that have not been marked as stable in its repository. So I might as well just wait for the next version of pd for my system and see if that solves my problem..

First of all, I recently noticed that this feature did come in ELSE, because of one of the notes that appears when loading the library.

On the other hand, it doesn't matter if I open the patch All_about_else.pd or declare the start path, it doesn't open at all.

I also noticed that my version of pure data is old (0.53-1); I guess this must affect; the Debian system repositories install this version by default, so I'll see what I can solve this before I update further on my problem.
Thanks for all the advice.

Sorry, I mean that ELSE is installed (and working) but the function I mentioned is not loaded.

@alexandros I have ELSE just installed and it does not seem to appear

I used to have an external, which added extra menus to the one that appears when right clicking on a patch in pd vanilla.
I don't remember if this was the only function of the external.

These extra menus showed pd and external objects (each in another section) ready to be added in the patch.

Here is a small sketch I made to explain myself better:

Of course, I did a search on the internet trying to find this external but the vastness of pure data libraries and not knowing its name made it difficult to find it.

Do you think you know what it was called?

@porres I understand, I guess I will try to download the ceammc library at some point, even if I have not found it in dekken likewise.

I'm interested that you mention an improvement in PlugData performance, should I download the stable or testing version to test that?

I have been testing the various Pure Data distributions, getting lower performance than Pure Data Vanilla by the way.

I wanted to try Pure Data CEAMMC, and it has been somewhat difficult to download because of problems with snapd. So I thought I would ask, what are the features of that distribution? I have not been able to find many details about it. And if you can tell me if it is equal, better or worse in performance than pure data vanilla; I would really appreciate it!

@oid Oh, by the way I don't quite understand what I should do to get 3 as a result of dividing 6 by 2, as in your example. I get only 0.333

I didn't imagine you all would bring so many systems to the table. Seriously, thank you, I appreciate it very much.
I will explore with each of your answers.

Hello community!

I need some guidance in building this little device.
I want to be able to add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers through bangs to these object boxes; plus receive the result in a number box.

I plan to do this in real time, for example: if I start with 0, and press the bang of + 1 I would get 1 in the number box. If I then press the bang of * 5 I would get 5 in the same number box. So with any operation.

I know it may be a bit silly to ask for a solution for this, but I have some time without understanding how to do it.
I would appreciate any help.
