Hi all -- there's a line in m_class.c in the class_new() function, just before the end, that you can uncomment to get Pd to print out every class as it's loaded (but not abstractions). Unfortunately that still doesn't tell you about every class in extra, since they're only loaded on demand. And y

The pitch track's "amplitude" is computed as the theoretical loudness of the track, which is computing by adding up the "loudnesses" of all the components, then converting back to dB. "Loudness" is incorrectly estimated as the fourth root of amplitude (should have been the fourth root of power, eq

Hi Tim -- Pd~ is still a moving target (it's one of the things I want to work on now that the GUI swap is stable). The current implementation has a limited buffer going back and forth between the processes and so it's easy for either the "parent" or "child" Pd to deadlock waiting on data from the

Here's a guess... if incoming (vanilla) netreceive traffic is swamping Pd, then since Pd prioritizes input from GUI above output back to GUI, the output never gets scheduled. If that were happening, you'd see the windows freeze but still be able to send Pd events from the GUI (hitting buttons in t
