If you need a phasor~ with bangs, create a [metro] at the bang speed, and

Re: [PD] Concatenating two atoms into one?

[Matt Davey]

if you bang the 7 17 message, and then bang the message box that gets set,
pd outputs to console:

float: no method for '717'

But if you then save the patch, reload, and bang that same message box, it
outputs correctly.

Is that a bug?  Surely if behaviour is different between a live patch and a
saved patch, that constitutes buggy behaviour?

>matt's  `[set $1$2, bang(` construct is really only useful if you want
to send the data to a messagebox (but why would you want to do that?)

I often use [set $1, bang ( for things like setting a message box with the
output of openpanel, and then also triggering the message.  Had no idea
that it didn't work for floats.

Re: [PD] packed floats to select object changes the select value

[Matt Davey]

>I don't quite see why you are singling out [select]

It's the only object that has ever given me trouble in this way.  My guess
is because almost all other objects that allow a list to modify their
internal state will also output differently once that state has been
modified.  If your [+ 1] object suddenly starts adding 100 to every input,
it's pretty obvious what's gone wrong, and can be quickly fixed.  I think
the reason why it's so sneaky with [sel] is that its main outlet only
outputs a bang, and not a value.  There's never a "wrong" value being
passed, unless you are connected to its last outlet (which usually you
aren't).

Anyway, i can fully accept that this is not considered a bug, but rather a
feature that keeps the [sel] object consistent with all others.  I'm not
trying to stir up trouble, was just trying to point out the issue, cos it
cost us a lot of time and effort to get to the bottom of a bug that was
caused by that behaviour.

I did have a good think about possible uses for the current behaviour, and
i can think of one.

Re: [PD] packed floats to select object changes the select value

[Matt Davey]

I am aware of the workarounds, and have put one in place to fix this now.

That's not the issue here.  The issue is that accidentally sending a list
to the select object invisibly changes its behaviour and can produce some
hard to find bugs in big patches.
There are lots of other objects where this could happen, but [sel] is
somewhat unique in that it won't output incorrect values to its main outlet
but rather just stops sending bangs and sends to its second outlet.

Re: [PD] packed floats to select object changes the select value

[Matt Davey]

Just for background, here's the reason why it caused so much difficulty:

I'm working on a really big complex project with hundreds of abstractions.
Lots of parameters feeding into each other with state saving, automations,
gui interaction...etc
In one synth channel, we have a [sel $1] object to update parameters
according to the channel they correspond to.
That channel abstraction was written several years ago, and never had an
issue.

About a year ago, we modified one of those channels to have 9 voices.  The
voices get a $2 argument from 1-9.  In the original channels without the 9
voices, the creation argument is left off and therefore just stays as 0.

So last week i was doing a cleanup to merge the single voice channels with
the 9 voice channel, and sending a channel message or a packed channel /
voice message.   Started to get weird behaviour, somewhat akin to execution
order issues.  Some values were being sent correctly the first few times,
and then only coming out wrong later on.  I religiously use triggers
everywhere, even when they are not essential, but i went over the whole
section again and checked the order.  All seemed fine.

Never even thought for a moment that the old [sel $1] object would change
its selection value when presented with packed floats.

The reason it was so hard to detect, is that the first outlet of [sel]
outputs a bang, and not a value.  So if the bang is not output, instead of
getting a wrong value that is easy to track down, it just quietly sends the
value through its right outlet (which in this case was not connected).

Turns out that by sending the channel / voice messages to the 9 voice
channel, and then merging that with the single voice channels, that all the
single voice channels were also receiving packed channel / voice messages
to the [sel] object, and thus changing its selection value.  It wasn't
until i literally put a print on either side of the [sel] object that i
noticed something was super weird.

***

Can understand that it's just following protocol of other objects that take
a list and distribute it to cold inlets, but the difference here is that
those other objects will still output SOMETHING through their left outlet,
so at least you get an idea that something is wrong.  With [sel] it just
stops sending the bang, and if you don't have anything connected to the
right outlet, you'd not notice that unless you are directly monitoring that
bang.

The only other object that i can think of which would behave that same way
is [moses], but even with that, you're inputting floats and outputting
floats, so much more likely to track down the cause if you accidentally set
the cold inlet of that one.

Anyway, i'm on no crusade.  I've learnt my lesson with this one, and spent
a few days tracking down that one bug, so won't make that mistake again.
There does seem to be a big reluctance here to change the behaviour though,
so whatever

Re: [PD] packed floats to select object changes the select value

[Matt Davey]

Here’s my proposal:

If a sel object is created with arguments, add a list method to truncate
incoming lists to the first item.

If a sel object is created without any arguments, behaviour stays the way
it currently is.

Would that work?

It's undocumented and weird behaviour that surely nobody relies on.

I cannot think of a single case in which anyone would want to send packed

[sel 2]

outputs the 2 from the right outlet!  Sending a 3 afterwards outputs a bang
from the left outlet.

Pretty sure this is unwanted behaviour, due probably to pd objects' default
behaviour of using a second float to set the cold inlet.  In this case it
is definitely unwanted, and can be the source of some very hard to track
down bugs.

Re: [PD] [PD-dev] REQUEST: Passed parameters into subpatch

[Matt Davey]

Creation arguments for subpatches is something i have wanted for years.
Would come in very handy in a few cases.

Like, when you need to make just 2 copies of something in a patch.  Left /
right pairs for stereo processing, etc.  Much easier just to have 2
subpatches than save a separate abstraction file, especially if you're
working on a big project with lots of files.  Also makes it easier to share
things with people if you only have to share one .pd file rather than a
folder with abstractions, etc.

But the main thing i have always wanted it for is for state saving.  If
there was something akin to $0 for subpatches, then they could be uniquely
identified, and uniquely tied to an enclosed abstraction.  So, say you have
a simple volume control abstraction ( inlet~ -> *~ -> outlet ), and you
enclose that it [pd volume] subpatch which is just a graph-on-parent
slider.  If you could do something like [pd volume #0] and have that
argument unique to that subpatch, and then put [volume-abstraction #0]
inside that subpatch, then you would have unique caller / listener pairs
for that subpatch only, but also have the ability to save the state of the
slider in the subpatch by setting it to 'init'.
So, in effect, you could create any number of [pd volume #0] subpatches,
and all have them with their own independent slider values that can be
saved in the parent patch.
For simple examples like that, maybe not too much to be gained...can just
use an inlet to the abstraction and join it that way.  But would be very
useful for larger patches with multiple GUI elements.  Would save a lot of
messy cable joining, and [route 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7] etc solutions.

[PD] file "save as" window on OSX always opens as "untitled.pd"

[Matt Davey]

Is there any reason why file "save as" in OSX is always defaulting to
"untitled.pd" ??

Is there an easy fix to get it to use the selected patch name?
I think it used to work that way?

oh, and an actual question:  does sigmund~ use the same pitch detection

For a guitar tuner that just needs to detect the most prominent frequency,
is there a particular advantage of using one over the other?

Re: [PD] Abstraction arguments: tell apart symbols from floats from no argument at all

[Matt Davey]

If you're ok with using an external library, then there is [pofutil] in the
pof library which outputs a list of arguments when sent a [dollarg( message.

so, like:

[dollarg(
|
[pofutil]

You can then just use pd's list functions (list length, list split, etc) to
pull that list apart and check its length, etc.

[route symbol float] should do the last bit you wanted,

[Folder_list] is something that vanilla pd sorely lacks though...  feature

[PD] copying tabwrite~ from d_array.c as an external, not working.

[Matt Davey]

Hi list,

I am trying to make a tabwrite2~ external by copying the tabwrite~ section
of d_array.c into its own tabwrite2~.c file.

The external compiles fine without errors, but the object is unable to be
created in a pd patch.

I checked my build process with a simple hello world external, and also
another external i had made earlier and they both work fine.  So it seems
there is some issue with using the d_array tabwrite~ code directly in its
own file.

Any ideas?

thanks, Matt

Re: [PD] Order of operation/connection issue with send and return

iohannes’ point was that even if there is a ‘rule’, you should not depend

Don’t depend on that always working.

There is no point in trying to understand how it works.  Just assume it’s

[Matt Davey]

Have been hunting down some possible causes of audio dropouts, and it seems
that [list] and probably also [text] are possible causes.   Removing them
and replacing with table lookups whenever possible certainly seems to have
helped.

Are these objects calling memory on the audio thread?  Is that possibly the
issue?

Re: [PD] 0.47.1 tcl issue

[Matt Davey]

no worries, can take it off list even if you want.

ATSApplicationFontsPath
font

didn't help though. there must be something else.

i'm in Japan and it's 2am, so that's it for me today, but happy to test
anything to get this working perfect tomorrow.

for the moment, at least all my existing patches load with correct object
box sizes.  the tiny font issue i can deal with, but happy to help test to
make sure that gets sorted too.

ok, i had a go with copying the font folder, but still get that space to
the right.

for the moment, that's more than fine for my needs, and i have to get back
to work, so thanks a lot for the help!  i assume the new update is going to
fix a lot of this anyway, and will be happy to help and report glitches if
it doesn't.


thanks!

Re: [PD] 0.47.1 tcl issue

[Matt Davey]

from what i am seeing so far, those 0.48 and modified 0.47 builds look
exactly the same as far as font and object size goes. They both seem ok.

i dunno why it seems there is an extra space to the right of objectsi
have been using pd exclusively on desktop for the past few years, so maybe
that's a part of it.  But maybe it's a different font or something, and
that's why there is space to the right sometimes?
if i just make a basic [*~ 1] or something like that, i don't seem to get
any space, but larger objects like [pack f f f s f f f] or something like
that, always come with one character of space to the right, it seems

one thing i'm noticing with all these new builds...there seems to be one
character of blank space to the right of every object and message box.

is that intentional?  pretty sure it didn't used to be that way.

fonts on that .zip build you sent are working well, though...much closer to
what i expected, and no overlapping object boxes like before.

Re: [PD] 0.47.1 tcl issue

[Matt Davey]

awesome!  thanks a lot Dan.

i got my TCL version by copying this into terminal:

echo 'puts [info patchlevel];exit 0' | tclsh

Even with the latest version of osx 10.13, downloaded last night, it still
comes up as using 8.5.9, so the framework folder probably does need to be
copied over.
Your bullet point instructions were for copying the stuff from 0.47 to
0.48, but seems it should be opposite to that, as per your original
instructions.
So, here are the steps i followed, and it seems to work well as 0.47-1
always did for me before.

* close both apps (if open)
* right click on both apps and choose "Show Package Contents"
* copy the Contents/MacOS/Pd launcher from Pd-0.48-0.app into the Contents
folder in Pd-0.47-1.app.
* copy the Contents/Frameworks folder from Pd-0.48-0.app into the Contents
folder in Pd-0.47-1.app.
* open Pd-0.47-1.app

anyway, seems this is just a temporary measure until 0.48-1 gets a proper
release.

thanks guys.  now i can get back to work ;)

[PD] 0.47.1 tcl issue

[Matt Davey]

hi, just tried installing both the 32 and 64 bit vanilla builds on newly
updated macbook with OSX 10.13.1, and get error pasted below.

so, i checked, and it seems this version of OSX only comes with tcl 8.5,
not 8.4.

is there a simple way to get this working here?

For the record, the newest version of pd, 0.48-0 seems to work
fine...except for that annoying font size issue, which currently renders it
unusable for me.

Re: [PD] a slightly nicer saturator than tanh~

[Matt Davey]

ok yeah, i guess i mean, "nicer" in a way that doesn't alias so bad.

seems oversampling and filtering is the way to go with that, but just
wondering if there's some cheap way to avoid aliasing with distortion,
without oversampling too much?

I'm looking for something with a slightly better saturation character than

thinking of just upsampling and filtering tanh~ in a subpatch, but does
anyone else have a decent saturation algorithm that might be better?

Re: [PD] going from signals to events?

[Matt Davey]

of course you can set continuous pitch change using ramps made with line~
or vline~ for ADSR style things,

but yeah, if you need FM on sample playback, then you will need a phasor~.
But for that, you give up sample-accurate triggering, and will have to wait
for block boundaries to trigger any phase changes.

exactly!

for any sort of sample playback, a [metro] and [vline~] approach is always
going to be better than phasor~ based playback.

you're welcome to learn the hard way, and try to do it all using phasor~
though!

Re: [PD] going from signals to events?

[Matt Davey]

performance, as in CPU performance?  For sure you're gonna get much greater
performance using just messages.

It's also MUCH simpler to sequence with a [metro] and messages, and very
easy to do interesting things to a sequence.

compare that to something like this, in the link claude just shared:

https://archive.bleu255.com/0xA/files/2016/04/010_shuffle.png

what a mess!


I see what you mean about having a single master clock, but why not just
have a single master clock that's based on [metro] and a counter?  You can
use that clock to trigger sub-clocks to whatever resolution you like, right
down to subsample accuracy.

If you divide an integer by another integer, it will only output an
integer, so you need to add the decimal in that case.

i think it only matters for division, as addition subtraction and
multiplication of integers only ever yield integer results anyway.


i use this for triangles:

expr~ abs($v1*2-1)*2-1
