I had a quick look at the Live manual, where I found, that Operator is
just a 4-op FM synth with some additional tweaks. A simple 4-op FM is on
my January TODO list for the RjDj library anyway. In general FM is
easy, but the more operators you have, the more you want to use
[mtx_mul~] from Iemmatrix, but RjDj only has vanilla objects.

Or some summation formulas, but tabosc4~ is easier.

Yep, aliasing in FM always is tricky. It will be ignored for RjDj. ;(

I'm a bit proud of resonz~ and resonr~: In the end they look very
simple, the hard part was digging J.O. Smith's Filter book. ;) I'll also
do some version with signal inlets later. 

If anyone knows which transfer function would make a good 2 pole resonant
lowpass filter (like lp2~ in Iemlib) I'd be super thankful.

You must install the X11 user package from your osx DVD.

[PD] Gem install problem on iBook G4

2008-12-31 Thread ben baker-smith
I am having trouble installing pd-extended on my G4 iBook.  I am
running Mac OSX version 10.4.11.  I have also tried running it on a
macbook (intel) running 10.5 which I borrowed from a friend.  I used
the respective versions of the pd-extended download for each.  I need
to be able to run Gem which is why this is a problem.  The basic
version of PD seems to work fine, just not the extended libraries.  I
also tried downloading Gem separately and connecting it via the path
menu, to no avail.  This is weird for me as I've gotten pd-extended to
work just fine on a G4 desktop and a macbook almost identical to the
one I recently borrowed.   Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Here is the printout from the last time I started up PD:
