@jamcultur Oh! I didn't know one could change an application's priority, thanks.

@ddw_music I tested with multiple Pd processes on Windows and got the same behavior, but my point was: if this is a Pd behavior and there's nothing about running as a plugin that forces one to rewrite the networking facilities, then what can the plugdata team do about it? Edit: Maybe we should be lobbying ELSE to replicate iemnet's objects?

@Balwyn Very helpful. Wrapping my head around it at the moment... Thank you !

Someone on reddit asked how to take different actions when an arrow key is pressed, depending on whether the shift key is up or down. Since I can't post a patch there, I'm posting a sample patch here. shift_test.pd

Hey, I've been writing small externals in C using pd-lib-builder (as in this tutorial ) for a while, all the time not really understanding what on earth is being done with all this object-oriented business I'm writing. All the stuff that comes to and from the pure data environment is in some sort of wrapper data-type shenanigan, i.e. a float that is passed into an inlet of a pd object might be a (t_atom) with symbol "float" or it might be a (t_float) sometimes ?? And in order to interact with any of this I use a getter method, or just treat it as what it should be and cross my fingers (maybe with some forced typing now and then too). I don't like not understanding my data types, and I don't really know what documentation I can look at beyond that git repo I linked above. anyway I'm just trying to write an object with a construction argument of one (1) float that won't crash Pd when given garbage/nothing on construction. I'm looking for some kind of check for that it is a ) populated and b ) actually a float. //constructor called when a new instance is made void *rms_tilde_new(t_floatarg f) { t_rms_tilde *x = (t_rms_tilde *) pd_new(rms_tilde_class); //creating a signal outlet x->signalout = outlet_new(&x->x_obj, &s_signal); //passing creation arguments to internal variables x->windowsize = 64; if(f >= 1) { x->windowsize = f; } return (void *)x; }

write random values in an array. In helpfile of [block~] [pd switch-bang] shows an easy way. Or fill the array with [tabwrite] by banging a counter and [random] with [until] which is fed by [array size].

good, fixing it

@formuls Thanks! The Pd patches for Toetsingen are on https://www.hansroels.be/toetsingen.html To clarify: I maintain the Mimba synth on github https://github.com/Haroes/mimba It has a stable and 'most recent' version. Additionally, for compositions and performances (like Toetsingen) I have made specific versions of Mimba. So, if you are looking for a documented and more or less 'tidy' version of Mimba, I guess the github stable version is the best choice.

not sure what you need, but I could look into and add one to ELSE

@jameslo I just combined all your patches into one and they all behave like yours! I don't know what was going on earlier, perhaps a typo in [expr]? But I guess it wouldn't have been created. Now the numbers are toggling between 255 and 256 and 0 and 1.5258e-05, like your screenshots.
