Hey,
This is helpful. Can you help explain how the variables work? I am trying to understand it.

Hey all,
My composition now for electric cello and pd is being released on Parma Recordings, Mind and Machine, Vol. V on September 23, 2023.

In preparation for the release I am doing a couple of concerts in Chicago. I will be doing a concert at Constellation on Sunday, August 27, 2023 at 8:30pm Central. The concert will be livestreamed as well. I will be using Pd as well to accompany Cage's Lecture on Nothing. Would love to see some of you there.

Hmmm.... iemguts is not working for me. It has been awhile since I have uploaded a library of objects.

iemguts-0.1 was what I was trying to upload. Any ideas on why it is not working? I am on a mac. and using pd 51.4.

Trying to use canvasselect but it cannot be found.

Any ideas?

I am trying to make this work, but am struggling.

Here is the message I am sending:

find [object_name] [number 0f object created to delete]

but I am getting this message:

hjh, I get it. The thing is that I am trying to just write the "number" for a date. . . . so, it feels rather wrong, but I get it. Without double precision, a "number" can only be indicated to six digits. . . I do not know the exact number but I get the idea.

I was trying to write a date as a number. . . . yes, I can do it other ways, but this was a "simple" way I was hoping to do it. It is cool that I cannot, but there is another piece I want to write that requires even more detail than double precision. The other thing is that I cannot even write the number as a symbol which seems even more annoying.

Anyway, I am good with it all. Just wish we could have more precision.

And so there is no way to expand the number of digits a number can have? Seems counter to an application that uses numbers in composition. I can imagine there are some workarounds, but I wish there was a way to expand the numbers allowed to assess.

It seems that the == object cannot assess a number with seven digits.

I am not getting that result though.

Look at the message box at the bottom. I wrote the example too quickly.MathProblem.pd

Is there a way to expand the range of numbers? Here is an example patch that shows a version of the problem. It is just one example of the issue. Is there no easy workaround?

MathProblem.pd

Thank you for all of the responses. Now I have to get to work on this.

Ah. So you can buy them.

And yeah, I kind of want to know more how it works. . . perhaps. Then explicitly use it. Or use Pd plugin.

Hello,
I am working on a new patch for a piece already made. The composer mentions a GRM plug-in called "Shuffling" for the granulation in Max.

Is there a comparable patch for Pd?

I do not think I have GRM downloaded. Is that only for Max?

Hey all,
I want to research the two ways of creating drums sounds in pure data. I am leaning toward synthesis more control and such, but do not want to get half way into it and realize that samples are better.

I was looking for articles on this, but have not found enough research to be satisfied yet.

Thoughts? Any help?

@whale-av Right. Drawing the table might be a problem.

@bocanegra I have run up against the showing of the patch. I guess I really need to figure out how to do that effectively. I am using lots of two libraries I have created and do not know how to send the patch for others to be able to upload it.

@jameslo Thank you. I will look at that patch.

I just tried to make the array larger. and then send a file of any size.

As I tried this with a large file, the interruption still exists. When I tried it with a small array no glitch occurs. I would really love to be able to keep the array at least 15 seconds large. I am using a 48000 sample rate.

The other way I could consider doing this is playing the original file at a slower speed.

I am thinking I need to look up how to do that effectively.

@whale-av Thanks for the response.

My issue is not related to the delay of loading the soundfile. Unfortunately, I think the issue is that when the file is loaded, the system delays and the sound is delayed. I am hoping that I can come up with another way to do this as the issue makes the audio too problematic.

Could it be the variable file size? I am using resize. Could that create a problem with the system saving the soundfile? What if I made the file larger than necessary and then there would be plenty of room?

Hey,
Do others have issues with audio playback when using soundfiler? I am using it in a fairly complicated patch to resize an audio file that I play 4x slower than the original file for a better version of granular synthesis. When I send the file to soundfiler to resize the audio file in a file that can be played using tabread4~ I get a glitch in the audio playback. This is after I start to add additional operations to my patch.

The patch is messy with lots of objects I have created. Mainly though, the audio playback is disrupted by sending a file to soundfiler to resize a location that has sound. I was thinking that I might be able to do this some other more elegant way. But am, slightly annoyed, that soundfiler seems to create issues.

Any thoughts?

Hey,
I finally understand switch~ Thank you!!!!!

So, I assume my computer is "fast enough." The problem that I am detecting is that if I activate creating a objects too quickly in succession the audio lags and creates digital clicks. This may also happen when I delete objects as well.

So, I think I am not able to use this method for creating good audio using additive synthesis, but I really appreciate all of the communication.

I though do not understand the switch~ comment yet.
