@alexandros. not sure how i installed it. I was using ubuntu 16.04 but never managed to solved it. As of today I´ve decided to reinstall ubuntu and everything works perfect it´s not the best solution but it works now. BTW i'm running same ubuntu and pd installed from command line.

@alexandros oh btw if i don't run pd as root i can't save

@ingox uhm not sure how to compile from source any hints?.

BTW i need qjackctl or patchage for routing different outputs... midi from vmpk and the audio out of pd (connected through jack the other options throw errors on sound pcm and so)

@alexandros hi! I'm not on Pi but on Ubuntu

Hi! I just stepped here because i still have the same issues under ubuntu 16.04. I've already added the audio file inside limits.d to the root group. Then start qjackctl (not as sudo as it crashes the whole os) and then sudo puredata but i get the same error about returned status 17. Am i missing something?

@Jojo-Lapin Thanks Jojo!! i'll check that when i finish reading the chapter from the book.

@gsagostinho Thanks!! I will do it right now. I´ll keep posting if i have more doubts.

Thank you very much Gilberto,
Jose

My question is pretty simple, i'd like to know where can i get some information on what is really the vcf~, i've read the help and it says it's a resonnant bandpass and low pass filter. Where can i get more information about these? I've already read about how to build analog filters and the math involved but can't make an idea of how a vcf~ works in real life.

Thanks,
Jose

@whale-av , I finally stopped trying it today , My last try was building GEM with Visual Studio 2015 but it gives a lot of errors. I manually patched the files but i got to a point where it was tiresome. This is the last tutorial i followed. If someone feels in the mood of building it and teaching how to do i'll totally appreciate

@Balwyn I've follow your steps but still nothing this is what i got in the console:

'pd-gui' connecting to 'pd' on localhost 5400 ...
