Hi folks,
Is there are neat way to gracefully mute then close pd when closing out of a patch? Right now I’m using the button to jump between patches. There is a jarring zipper sound every time I switch patches.
The PD is being closed by sending the process a SIGTERM (usually number 15) signal. This is the polite way to ask for a process to close. I think I remember running into this issue and the solution was to actually close the process less gracefully by issuing it a SIGKILL (usually number 9) signal instead. You may try modifying the /usr/local/pisound/scripts/common/stop_puredata.sh and change the killall puredata to:
killall -s SIGKILL puredata
# or
killall -s 9 puredata
OK cool thank you Giedrius! I will try that and report back
