As far as I can tell limiter design is a dark art. Here's one (that imposes a hard limit just within the (-1, 1) range - I made this for "music101" where I needed a hard limit and am assuming the input signal is a voice (so unlikely to have extremely fast attacks)... cheers Miller

Re: [PD] Context menu depending on window focus?

2021-04-24 Thread Dan Wilcox
Yes, you must click to focus, then right-click. The menubar is basically updated each time the window is changed and the bindings are redone for whatever window is focused. Could this be improved? Probably. How much can we improve it? Dunno, it might be limited by whatever the Tk

Thanks Christof! Still I wonder about the reasons for the different behavior described in my last post. [table] simply didn't care to disable the property menu. [array define] is more consequent in this respect. So can I set all the options from [table's] properties for [array define] as

Any chance this could be improved in the GUI somehow? The improvement is called [array define] ;-) [table] is legacy and shouldn't be used in new projects. Generally, use a graphical array if you need the array to be visible, otherwise use [array define]. The latter still allows you to look

incidentally i noticed the same behaviour today, but found it rather funny (macOS 10.14.6) probably because i am old and grew up with windows not in focus not doing anything. since on macOS other apps behave mostly differently (the non focus window accepts control-click), i suspect its a

[PD] Context menu depending on window focus?

2021-04-24 Thread Peter P.
Hi list, on OS X and Linux the context menu of a patch behaves differentely whether the window is focussed (foreground) or not. Selecting "Help..." for an object in an unfocussed window will open the introduction help patch regardless, selecting "Open" for a subpatch or abstraction will silently

[PD] saving table contents confusion

2021-04-24 Thread Peter P.
Dear list, Reading from its help patch I understand that [table] actually creates a graphical array inside a subpatch. The table help patch canvas-help.pd says that the table data and properties are not stored with the patch (despite a flag being available in the properties menu). This has

[PD] compander-limiter from slop~-help.pd

2021-04-24 Thread Peter P.
Hi list, nice weather today, isn't it? I am trying to understand the [pd compander-limiter] example from slop~'s help patch because I need a 0dBFS brickwall limiter as abstraction without externals. When set to the "no change" parameters, the example will still saturate any signals hotter than
