Dr. Hernandez seriously doesn't get enough credit for all the work he does for this community.

@whale-av I think I understood everything about that floss tutorial EXCEPT the bit about the [hip~ ]. How does [hip~ } effectively translate a signal in the same way {-~ 1] does?

@ricky I get this when opening the help file grambilib~ v1/grambipan~.pd_darwin: mach-o, but wrong architecture

Any idea how to proceed?

sure pm me

@maxdavidson Some links you can check out:

http://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/7236/pd-extended-has-stopped-working-on-mac-help/11

Also, make sure you have X11 installed. pd needs that to run. Used to be installed by default but every since OS 10.6 or so Apple stopped including it in their operating systems.

@maxdavidson What kind of computer do you have and what OS ? What version of pd are you installing?

@csschupp I mean...we can help you for free too! Are you allowed to post your patch?

@mx This could take a long time to type out the explanation for all this. I'd be glad to help you. but here's some stuff you might want to look at first. Your patch is essentially just G09.pitchshift from the pd tutorials. Check out that file for some documentation. Also, here's what Miller has to say:

and more specifcically:

After reading, let me know if there's anything you would like help with understanding

And a vid for max instead of pd but the concepts are the same

@moih Usually the help file will tell you. Although the help file for this particular object is pretty sparse. I shined my phone light into my mac's camera and would get values around 9000 before the number boxes simply outputted a "+" which typically means overload. You might have to do some math to get these sensors numbers into a reasonable range.

@moih {expr ($f1 /HighestIncomingValue)*127]

Or in english: Your incoming sensor data, divided by the max level possible, multiplied by 127. This scales your incoming range to 0-127
