11th Release Candidate of ELSE 1.0-0 (with Live Electronics Tutorial):

This library/tutorial pack version needs at least Pd version 0.54-1 or above!

See downloads below in the "assets" tab and check the readme https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/v1.0-rc11/README.md for more details (also available as a PDF in the download). You can also download ELSE directly via Pd (in Help => Find Externals). You can also download the latest hardcode bleeding edge from github actions for the main platforms.

When you download via Pd you also get ELSE with the "Live Electronics Tutorial" directly via Pd. Just find the 'Live-Electronics-Tutorial' folder inside the 'else' folder! The "Live Electronics Tutorial" follows the same version of the library, it is compatible to the same version of ELSE and it has its own repository, available in: https://github.com/porres/Live-Electronic-Music-Tutorial/releases/tag/v1.0-rc11! This tutorial heavily uses the objects from the ELSE library and it's a nice counterpart to it. The last experimental version of ELSE and the tutorial is always downloadable as a single package directly from within Pure Data. Other earlier experimental versions reside in this repository of the ELSE library.

Note that the ELSE library is still in an experimental stage ("Release Candidate" phase at this point), this means some changes may occur to some of the objects and backwards compatibility is not guaranteed for future releases until the final stable release is made available.

CHANGELOG:

LIBRARY:

Breaking changes:

  • [pan8~] removed, use the new [pan~] object now
  • [autofade~] and [autofade2~], changed inlet order, gate is now the rightmost, for consistency. Removed status output cause that was kinda really stupid. Fade-in/out work better now by the way.
  • [xgate2~], [xselect2~] big redesign, almost new objects, also changed inlet order for consistency and stuff
  • [rec.file~] also changed inlet order, removed 1st control input, for consistency and stuff as well, no more toggle input though
  • [tabwriter~] changed inlet order, gate is now the rightmost, for consistency. Changed some flags.
  • [mtx~] removed dump outlet, 'fade' renamed to 'ramp', gain input is now not just on and off
  • [mtx.ctl] changed output for export message
  • [note2pitch] and [pitch2note] renamed to [note2midi] and [midi2note]
  • [note2dur] renamed to [notedur2ratio]
  • [canvas.file] renamed to [findfile] (this object will quite likely be removed anyway as soon as Pd's [file which] is updated in Pd, so forget about it already...)
  • [noisegate~] added release time in ms
  • [wavetable~] and [bl.wavetable~] removed 'offset' and 'size'
  • [conv~] swapped args order

Enhancements/fixes/other changes:

  • [plaits~] added attenuverters and sig modulation inputs, making it fully functional at last, documentation revised.
  • fix crash of some objects in arm mac: [lfnoise~], [dust~], [dust2~], [rand.f~], [rand.i~], [pgm.in] and [ptouch.in] (these last two got fix by unkown reasons).
  • [midi.learn] fixed (it wasn't working at all)
  • [xfade~] and [xfade.mc~] added linear crossfading
  • [xgate2~] added spread parameter and allow crossfading to silence when out of range
  • [xselect2~] has a new spread parameter and is now either circular or crossfades to silence when out of range.
  • [xgate.mc~] can now also route more than one channel and can now set number of out channels as a message as well
  • [xselect.mc~] can now also set -n flag as a message
  • [spread~] and [spread.mc~] added spread parameter
  • [mtx~] added gain value so you can connect knobs, added print message.
  • [mtx.ctl] and [drum.seq] fixed embed bugs
  • [knob] fixed flags issues, a tcl/tk error and outline is now on by default
  • [numbox~] fixed 'init' value in properties
  • [rand.f~] fixed range bug
  • [sine~], [impulse~], added 'set' message to set a single frequency channel
  • [autotune], [autotune2], [retune], added support for lists
  • [note2midi] and [midi2note] added support for quarter tones
  • [keyboard] added 'show' and 'play' methods
  • [chance~] now has a list method and a 2nd inlet for 1 arg and it all works like [chance] now
  • [wavetable~] added slice parameter and inlet for crossfading between slices.
  • [gendyn~] added signal input for center freq in hz, added 'bw' and 'cents' methods.
  • [op] added support for lists in 2nd inlet
  • [openfile] fixed bug not opening files in the current folder
  • [sequencer], set message now works when [sequencer] is initialized without arguments, and sequence defults to 0 now.
  • [crusher~] added support for signal input in secondary inlets
  • [quantizer~], [fold~] and [wrap2~] added signal support (and also multichannel support) for secondary inlets
  • [tabwriter~] added index mode to set index to record to with a signal
  • [midi.in] fixed ext message/flag
  • fixed memory leak and allocation in several objects
  • [bend.out], [ctl.out], [note.out], [pgm.out], [ptouch.out], [touch.out], [midi.out], added '-ext' flag/message
  • added MC awareness and capabilities to [fader~], [pan2~], [pan4~], [mix2~], [balance~] and [mix4~]
  • 10 new objects: [wt2d~], [pan~], [pan.mc~], [autofade.mc~], [autofade2.mc~], [xgate2.mc~], [xselect2.mc~], [mtx.mc~], [abs.pd~] and [sendmidi]

Objects count: total of 527 (285 signal objects [82 of which are MC aware] and 242 control objects)!

  • 307 coded objects (200 signal objects / 107 control objects)
  • 220 abstractions (85 signal objects / 135 control objects)

TUTORIAL:

  • New examples and revisions to add the new objects, features and breaking changes in ELSE.
  • New chapter on Wavetable Synthesis (with wavetable scanning, vector synthesis and stuff).
  • Revision and improvement of panning/routing section. Explanation about 'spread' in routing objects.
  • Total number of examples is now 515!
