A live visual music program designed in Pd Vanilla using the Gem library.
Pure Data
Gem, or get it the deken way: open Pd and go to Help > Find Externals
, type Gem and download the one suitable for your system.
The trick is to open two instances of pd. Here's how i do it here:
- One-liner if running pd from terminal:
pd main.pd & sleep 1; pd32 -nogui -lib Gem main-video.pd
where pd32
is the 32 bit Pure Data (for Gem). Note the -nogui
flag, you can remove that if you want to customize the video patch.
- Or:
open orkna.command
NOTE: you might need to edit the orkna "PATHS" to where your Pd is (open -e orkna.command)
- open by double-clicking:
main-video.pd
- open by double-clicking:
main.pd
-
Focus on the
main.pd
pd console to get more instructions. -
If EOF error (or 'disconnected from server' type of error): Check the port number on the [netsend] - [netreceive] pair so that the localhost is the same and working.
Have fun!
