FAQs "I can't create [Chords_Scales]?" I explain it later in this video :) -"There's no sound?" The BPM algorithm shown in this video may not be working. Please try this instead: drive.google.com/file/d/1RRJd40MYfsmmWGSsZy-B-AB8ueMFo4Sy/view?usp=sharing Then, reopening the patcher may do the trick! "Should I look for other reverb externals?" You can but please be careful since some reverb externals can feedback and get real loud. I suggest using [clip~ -1 1] for safety. I talk more about that in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jeovwEExuXI.html -"Is it possible to use my favorite reverb VST inside of Pure Data?" Yes you can! Check out this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cs0NPime0kU.html "Are you gonna upload this whole patcher for download?" Maybe... I do want people to follow along and learn as they patch. It's a pretty small patch! If you have any other questions, please feel free to comment or send me a DM. But first, please double check that you didn't miss any part (recreating what you see in the first frame of the video won't be enough; there are other parts to this patch). THANKS FOR WATCHING!!!!
Looking forward to more of these! Im a comp grad student also learning music tech. Your tutorials have inspired me to build an instrument for my recital in the spring
That's awesome to hear, Adam!! Please do keep me posted about the project. I would love to hear more about it! Best of luck with the new semester/year!!
i've been playing around with generative ideas in max lately and the tutorials i've been finding really aren't helping as much as i'd like but i followed this video along in mac and it's helped so much :D thank you a lot for this tresure trove
@@SoundSimulator as a newcomer to pd, I find your walkthroughs especially useful as I get the satisfaction of seeing something work in a relatively short space of time. Then, later, I can go back over all the different objects and connections and math etc to test what's going on and what each component does. Pd is fascinating, and I think you do a great job of unraveling some of the mystery :)
@@davidrees-thomas8741 Really happy to hear that these tutorials have been helpful in that way! I hope you continue to enjoy the Pure Data journey! Let me know whenever you have questions.
there’s also a nice vst~ external , called VSTplugin~ , that makes it possible to use yr favorite vst FX into pure data & or supercollider ... mac / win / linux ... qua reverbs, i hear there’s a nice Csound reverb in vcv rack , also there is a way to use pure data code in vcv rack ... yeah endless possibilities ! thnx for the tutorial, great info !
i'd love to hear what it sounded like before any processing; tried to follow your steps and routing it to my daw and ended up getting something really harsh 😅
I remember it sounding ok! But yeah, [freeverb~] isn't the best for ambient. I have a new video coming out in few hours about using VSTs inside of Pure Data! We'll be using Valhalla's Supermassive reverb (which is free and sounds amazing for ambient!).
For some reason I feel like even though I copy-pasted exactly what you did, it appears that there isn't any audible output and I cant't fugure out why. Is it possible that you share with us the original file to really test it out?
Yeah, I need to upload the patcher since there's something that I want to adjust in the original. In the meantime, make sure that the [loadbang] for the BPM is activated correctly. Feel free to send me a DM on social media.
nothing wring with writesf, you just have to take a good care of strength of the signal. also i never had problem with recorging freeverb. anyway, thanks for the video, its really inspiring!
hey there! I see you are sending Ambient_Pad with send~ Ambient_Pad, but I can't figure out where you are sending it. At minute 5:55 you show a subpatch (?) with the freeverb~ object. I wonder if that is a subpatch that you have somewhere where you are sending the Ambient_Pad? If so, where is it in the main patch?
I love your channel! Been following your tutorials for quite some time now. Although I have a problem with this patch. When I toggle ON, the bass seems to play but the Melody doesn't, and the error that shows up is "receive~ Ambient_pad: no matching send". I don't know why, because there is a send~ in that exact name? Please help!
mine only works the 1st time i create the patch. as soon as a save, close and reopen, it starts the note, quickly interrupts it and goes silent. when i hit the toggle to shut it down, it sounds the last second of a note fading. repeat. maybe a freeverb~ problem.
Oh it actually is a freeverb problem. When I removed it, it worked but it sounds kinda off but that's up to music theory lol. Gotta try different reverbs.
How can I change the pitch of a musical note using pure data. I am going to connect an electric guitar using an audio interface and I want every time a pure data note sounds to convert it into another note, for example: the input note (played by the guitar) is an F# but I want a The A. If you can help me I would be grateful.
Hi Walter! It sounds like you want a real-time pitch shifter. Pure Data comes with one actually! Go to Help -> Browser -> Pure Data -> 3 audio examples -> G09 pitchshift. And replace the [pd test-input] with [adc~]. Make sure you're using the 1st input of your interface. And replace [output~] with [dac~]. And change the audio input to your interface in "Audio settings". Make sure you gave Pure Data access to microphone! Have fun!!
@@SoundSimulator brilliant! ,Thanks a lot! One more thing please: how can I do so that only certain musical notes are altered in pitch, for example: raise a tone to A, lower half a tone to F, etc. but that the rest of the notes continue sounding without alterations. I will be grateful for your help !!
@@walterhipo5828 There are pitch detection objects like [sigmund~], [helmholtz~], and [fiddle~]. They may not be the most reliable object so just a warning. And add some if statements and you may be able to get close to what you're looking for! Best of luck!!
Thank you Mauricio!! I wish I can recommend an app but I don't have any windows computer to test and find a good audio router app. OBS might be a good option? I need to learn how to use it myself.

Hi Daniel, It's hard to debug without seeing your patcher, so please feel free to share a screenshot via social media DM (links in description). It's usually forgetting to use the tilde symbol (~) in signal objects or the audio configuration not set up correctly. Also please make sure the DSP is turned on. Good luck!!
I could have been doing something wrong, but I was unable to make a sub-patch by saving another pd file in the same folder, then making an object sharing it's name. Luckily I found out that you can just make an object called "pd my_subpatch". The newly created sub-patch will automatically open after doing this. my_subpatch is the name.
Unfortunately, your guess is good as mine since I'm a Mac user. I'm sure there's a good alternative! Also, you could build this patch with plugdata, which will allow you to record directly to whatever daw you use!!
@@SoundSimulator Okay, I rebuilt this patch in plugdata, added the Valhalla Supermassive plugin and another plugin called Hysteresis from Glitch Machines, and it sounds other-worldly. I really want to work on this more like adding more synths or having note lengths switch automatically on the same synth. Thanks a bunch!
I like this tutorial. I have to click the bang under BPM, or else 4th_time is sent as 0, and a lot of cpu gets used. Also, if I use freeverb~, there's no sound, but it works fine without it. Maybe I can try the builtin reverb, rev3~. Weird that both line and line~ seem to do the same thing.
Thank you so much for watching! [loadbang] will bang the BPM message objects every time you reopen the patchers. [freeverb~] is not the best. I highly recommend watching my tutorial on using VSTs inside of Pure Data! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Cs0NPime0kU.html We use a free Valhalla reverb that sounds perfect for ambient!! [line] and [line~] do the same thing but one is a signal object (indicated by the ~) and the other is not.
@@SoundSimulator When I open the patch, the number below the "/" is zero. It seems like there's a timing issue with the 2 loadbangs and something more is needed.
@@epiphoney Yeah, that works too! Where the objects are placed actually changes the order of the bangs. It's kinda confusing. So I typically use [delay 1] to fix these order issues.
