Pisound & Pure Data - Pisound Documentation


This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at https://blokas.io/pisound/docs/pisound-puredata/

Hi,

is there any extra doc ?

  • how do I start pd with my own patch in the pisound ecosystem ?
  • how to make sure a service starts puredata on boot ?

thanks

The Pisound scripts don’t auto-launch Pure Data on boot, for that, use the Pure Data module of Patchbox OS.

I enabled the puredata module

but there is virtually no documentation

and this does not tell me how to have my own .pd files in place of these
(without copying my code base in the same folder I mean)

I found a way by using logincal link to wmy folder

sudo ln -s /home/patch/ /usr/local/puredata-patches/Phil/

then I copied the blokas yaml in my folder /usr/local/puredata-patches/Phil/blokas.yml
and it shows up, so I can select it in the config utility

note that one canno create a symbolic link from /usr/local/puredata-patches/, it requires a proper normal folder

also I whish there were documentation that explains where are all these puredata/pisound settings stored

You can either create a ‘blokas.yml’ file in your PD patch folder, or name the entrypoint fail as ‘main.pd’.

Some documentation on these files are here:
