Subtracting the result of a halfwave readout of [cos~] from the regular full wave readout doesn't give zero output for the second half of the cycle.

This reminds me of https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13709/bug-osc-cos-circle-asymmetry-drifting-out-of-phase/1

@raynovich in the worst case you'll be learning things, you're in good hands with @whale-av

Rarely did I spend an hour or so on YT so well. Thanks a lot. Do you have other interesting lectures like that to share?

While I might be wrong, I suspect the difficulty here would lie in you getting skilled enough in sound synthesis and audio programming (in general, not just in pd) rather than in pd being powerfull enough. Your "virtually" here means something like "provided you knew how, had the time and dedication to do so." Don't overlook that.

That being said, designing sounds is awsome and pd is a lot of fun. Just don't take replicating a commercial grade $2k+ product as a first pd project, it wouldn't be reasonable. And if making music is a more important goal to you than getting skilled in audio synthesis and programming, make your music before you make your synths.

For me it would be the use of variables [v myVariable] instead of send/receive to floats.

@ddw_music Dynamic patching...... a good place to start (removed from vanilla help..... -86 Million points).

Woa. It's been a while since I took the time to read this carefully. So it appears that, to add a datastructure scalar to a window, you can

• either do as the reference says, i.e. [traverse window, bang( => [pointer] => [append], etc...
• or send [scalar dataType dataValues( to the window

What a joke.

Nevermind, <KeyPress> steals keys for itself and turns pd unusable.
Thanks for that %W trick, I now have the mouse features I was looking for.

Thanks a lot, @whale-av, I think I know what to try! If I want to listen to [pd mysubpatch], I just have to get its id with [window_name pd-mysubpatch] and filter out the messages from other windows.

$focussed_window(join ".c") == %W

Where can I learn more about this wizardry? I wasn't able to get key info from the plugin, I don't understand how to use commands from the tcl doc...

@jona @whale-av I've been starting to mess with tcl plugins to see if I could replace [toxy/tot] object.
toxy
tot

The tot's third outlet optionally captures a stream of Pd gui messages dealing with user control over a destination canvas.
i.e. motion, mouseup/down, keys, etc... of specific chosen windows (title passed by message or argument).

How could one translate the window ID in jona's plugin to the window title?

Do you how to copy the content of an array to another with [tabread]&[tabwrite]+a counter (control objects)?
I'd just plug an interpolation function similar to that of [tabread4~] between them.
