Instructions for the Pure Data version of the Fluid Corpus Manipulation toolbox

How to start:

Step by step installation instructions can be found at https://learn.flucoma.org/installation/pd/

  1. Put the FluidCorpusManipulation folder where you see fit

  2. Add this folder to your path preferences, or use the [declare] object in your patch.

  3. In your startup preferences add fluid_libmanipulation to 'Pd libraries to load on startip': this is for fluid.dataset and friends.

  4. The Pure Data document 'Fluid_Decomposition_Overview.pd' shows the toolbox at a glance. Help is available for every objects and there is the /examples folder for further demonstration of the various usages.

  5. More detailed documentation is provided as HTML pages in /docs

  6. Parameters can be set by message OR by option in the object box, which work similarly to the [sigmund~] options.

  7. Most objects working on arrays/buffers are multichannel.

The toolbox uses the following convention: a named array is expected to have a name, followed by -x where x is the 'channel' number, 0-indexed. For instance, a stereo source buffer defined as 'mybuf' will expect an array named mybuf-0 for the left channel, and an array named mybuf-1 for the right channel. A utility [multiarray.pd] is used throughout the help files in conjonction with the [clone] to programmatically generate such 'multichannel' buffers.

Enjoy!

Known issues:

  • Pd is single threaded so doing buffer ops will do bad things to realtime audio if not using the -blocking 0 option - please see the documentation
