@Balwyn: perfect, seems all working now. Thank you so much again

@Balwyn. Thank you so much, I think its pretty close to what I was looking for, but I thought I can skip the inlet part and send straight from my testPage into the testsynth.pd
Maybe @whale-av you have explained that in your pd? but I can`t follow unfortunately.

That's how far I got basically:
It sends cutoff data to either the testSynthClone 1 or testSynthClone 2. But I am not sure if that interfers with my actual "notes" and "velocity" data for clone later on. If I could I would love to skip the inlet part and send straight into the testsynth, or is that not possible?

Hey Balwyn.

Thank you so much for your help, but I’m not sure if that’s what I’m trying to do, or maybe I just don’t fully understand it yet?
I tried simplifying it as much as I can. I basically call the testSynthClone abstraction and give it the number 3., because later on I will have multiple abstractions.
I want to pass this number down to the actual testSynth abstraction, so that it becomes a unique identifier for that particular abstraction.
I’m able to pass it down to testSynthClone, but passing it further to testSynth using $1 doesn’t work.
If that makes sense?

Hi.

I have an issue I can`t manage to solve

I created a polyphonic synthesizer.
I have an abstraction for the actual synthesizer, which contains the filter and velocity envelopes.
I then use [clone] to load this abstraction in order to achieve polyphony.
After that, I made the [clone] instance itself into another abstraction, so I can call this polyphonic synthesizer multiple times and assign it to different tracks or step sequencers.
So far, that’s all working — let’s call this abstraction synthclone.

Now I’d like to send values like cutoff, resonance, etc., to one of these synthclone abstractions.
How would I do that?

Because it’s basically an abstraction inside an abstraction, I’m not sure how to send values to each synthclone — which in turn needs to pass these values down to its internal polyphonic synthesizer abstraction.

My solution so far: I created an inlet for the polyphonic synthesizer abstraction, and in my synthclone abstraction, I added inlets which passes values down to the polyphonic synth abstraction.
I think I also have to send the message all $1 to it in order to make it work, but that seems pretty complicated overall. Also I would probably need so many inlets for all the values I want to control, its hard to keep that in order.
I’d rather use send and receive directly in the polyphonic synth abstraction, if that’s possible.

Sorry, to basically make it short, if I create my synthclone abstraction like synthclone 4, I would need to pass the 4 to my synthabstraction inside clone. I am able to pass it to synthclone with $1 but then I can`t get this value inside the clone object

So typical, I tried whole day yesterday and now that I wrote into the forum I got it working.
I basically installed python-osc and in pure data I am using mrpeach/udpreceive. That worked for me.
Thanks for your help though

just saw this post and didn`t noticed its actually already on the top.

I am basically running into the same issue.

Basically, I want to send button inputs, and later rotary encoder values to a Pure Data patch running on a Raspberry Pi via GPIO.

I managed to get the button working, and it's definitely sending data over UDP or TCP, that part works fine.

But Pure Data just doesn't receive anything. I've mostly tried using [netreceive], but I get nothing.
I am also not sure if UDP/TCP is the right way to go?

Are there any news on how to get this working or is there a python script out there which could help me?
I am surprised after almost 8 years there is still no easy solution to this?

ah thanks a lot. I am happy there are multiple option. Will give them a try. Thank you

@oid. I am sorry you are right, GOP inside GOP is working indeed. I think the GOP I created inside the other one was slightly bigger, which is why it didn’t show the whole content, and I assumed it wasn’t working.

Hi,

I'm running into two issues I can't seem to solve:

1. Is there a way to dynamically load and clear abstractions?
   Let’s say I have multiple synthesizer engines with different GOP settings and sliders.
   I’d like to switch between them by always loading just one engine at a time and replacing the GOP of the previous engine.

2. I’d like to create a virtual display/dynamic GUI. I know that I can’t hide objects in Pure Data, but I could move the GOP to different sections to give the impression of switching display pages.
   The problem is that I have 16 tracks, and each track might need 6–8 pages. That’s already over 100 pages — not including the different synthesizer engines with their own settings for each page.
   Altogether, that could easily add up to 400+ pages, which is way too much to handle just by shifting the GOP.

I also considered using one abstraction per track. But that would require showing a GOP inside another GOP, which looks like that won`t work either?

Are there any other options I could try?

Thanks a lot for all the explanations. I actually had a look at supercollider before but tbh. as a beginner in programming I am quite happy PD keeps it a bit more visually. I think in supercollider I would be even more lost
I've been studying your script the last couple of days and tried to rebuilt it on my own. I already learned a lot. But a couple of things I am quite not sure about.

• for what are you using text search parsing->moses->1000 for? I just noticed it turns voice number 1 into a zero, but don`t really get how and why.
• also I don't fully understand "pd notecount", even you explained already what it does, it lets my brain explode
  You count up + 1 once a note is pressed and count down -1 once its released. I don`t know what's the idea of "max 0" feeding itself back into + though.

Also, I found this from another forum thread you posted, which is an interesting read in general.
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/uploads/files/1605338689951-pd-things-i-wish-i-knew.png

It all works as you showed, but when I set list split to 3 it basically freezes PD. Do you know by any chance why?
I would need to split my list into 3 later on.

Thank you again so much for your help
