Max has a more polished interface

We have https://plugdata.org for that

@Balwyn Nice! DSP settings don't do anything in Heavy btw, it's always running (and it's not needed for metro).

Changing to a boolean value for the toggle probably fixed it

@Balwyn Oh you need to setup special receive objects to create plugin parameters:

https://wasted-audio.github.io/hvcc/generators/dpf/

@Balwyn Eh?

Probably because we don't sign binaries on Windows.

Also: who still uses McAfee? o.O

I could also export it with the heavy compiler, but the effect is really silly

@Orangery You have to install plugdata and open the pd patch from there.

@Orangery oh so it only supports VST2?

Yeah plugdata only comes as VST3, LV2 and CLAP versions.

If you use compiled mode in plugdata (which uses the Heavy Compiler, as I said earlier) you can export VST2 plugins as well, but you have to make sure you use compatible objects.

@Orangery plugdata already runs as a VST3 plugin. So you can just open the script/patch inside of that.

What is heavy?

Then what do you mean with "compile"?

@Orangery said:

I spent about 45 minutes with ChatGPT but there were still issues.

Not sure why you'd expect otherwise

You didn't mention that you need this patch to be compatible with Heavy, always good to mention beforehand.

Maybe share your patch so we can all tell what you're trying to do?

yes, but with some limitations: https://wasted-audio.github.io/hvcc/getting-started/patching/#known-limitations

I'm using Plugdata in compile mode, so expr~ isn't available.

If you are on the latest toolchain release it is (mostly) available!

In the next release of plugdata (or the current nightly build) the warnings for expr/expr~ will be gone as well, but the toolchain will already work. So just ignore the warnings for now

I think you should just be able to put Gem in the list of libraries in Startup in the Preferences.

One issue however is that GEM requires OpenGL, where the Raspberry Pi (and other ARM based devices) only have OpenGLES.

I have had some moderate success using GL4ES to translate this: https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es

Use [block~ 1] in a subpatch or abstraction and everything inside there will run single sample.

You can also use [fexpr~] to run mathematical expressions on specific samples in a block.

Exporting code using the Heavy Compiler will run single sample by default.

I was talking about plugdata

You should be able to run LTS binaries on 25.10 - Actually any Linux binary built with an older libc will probably work on a newer system.

@jameslo A lot of the objects you are using are not supported by the Heavy Compiler -> https://wasted-audio.github.io/hvcc/docs/09.supported_vanilla_objects.html

We have added expr and expr~ support this month and it should come to the plugdata toolchain shortly!

@donnerbono Latest HVCC now supports expr and expr~!

You will have to put 0.5 instead of .5 though

Some other limitations also apply: https://wasted-audio.github.io/hvcc/docs/02.getting_started.html#known-limitations

Clearly you need some header files. On debian based systems alsa/asoundlib.h comes from libasound2-dev
