Thank you so much :)

I have a new laptop and didn't save the theme but I should be able to remake it and I'll upload.

@@noiseaud that would be awesome! thx

Hi, I have remade the theme. I will upload a new Renoise video soon to show the theme and I'll put a download link in the description.

@@noiseaud thank you so much you rule!!!

Hi, I've uploaded a new video. Renoise Techno Project and Theme download in the Video description.

Hi, thank you. I don't think i will be buying the Tracker+ or the Tracker Mini which I would need to get it working. However, this is a Pure Data Program so anyone who can use pure data and has the tracker+ or tracker Mini can build on what I have done here and make it work with those other tracker devices. Please share this with the Polyend tracker community for others to extend this.

@@noiseaud Oh wow, I really didn't even look closely at the interface and realize it was PD. I might have to take a stab at it myself! I have experience with Max/MSP from a while back, but if I could figure out the mapping it doesn't seem impossible.

That's great. I hope you have fun adding more to the patch for the other polyend devices. Let me know if you have any questions when you work on it.

Hi, I have been using iConnectMIDI2+ by iConnectivity which is now a discontinued device. iConnectivity have a product called mio which can be used to send MIDI to the Volca from the computer. Some audio interfaces also have a MIDI in and out.

Thank you so much.

Hi, Thank you. The random seed generates a new random sequence. The random number generator creates a sequence for the pattern of how the parts are triggered. it's not for randomizing the sounds.

Yes, I sampled an FKA Twigs track, applied various FX to the sample and rearranged slices of the audio.

The book "Pure Data programming fundamentals: Patching, effects, sound synthesis" has the basics and also for more advanced patches. Right click on an object in Pure Data and selecting help brings up very useful information with working examples. Use speakers, don't use headphones. - some mistakes working with audio patches can create sudden noise which could damage your ears. Once you learn how things connect to each other and what a few of the objects can do - Keep building things with those basics and more advanced things will come naturally.

​@@noiseaudBy own experience, it's recommended/okay using a limiter before the final output? AfaIk that wouldn't let me monitor properly the signal, but isn't that easily fixed by using some kind of visual monitoring in PD? (Taking by example a plugdata patch where you can use it in DAW)

​@@noiseaudsecond question in a row (And I hope I'm not bothering. Just curious) Why PurrData? I've seen many people just staying with Vanilla or Next. I'm mostly like just hoping between flavors. Thanks in advance! (btw, your music is so good bro)

@@bytefuzz Hi, You can work with a limiter on the master output but keep the limiter setting subtle so it doesn't impact how you are mixing too much I have used "clip~" on some projects that has worked well. I still wouldn't use headphones though in case of mistakes. Also when mixing in pure data when you multiply a signal with "*~" adding more signals will increase the overall amplitude sent to the dac~ so use a "/~" to divide by the number of inputs. For example "/~ 4" if you have 4 inputs / oscillators etc.

​@@bytefuzzI've been using PurrData just for a couple reasons. It has a better GUI with a choice of themes. patching with the chords is smoother and less clunky than Vanilla. Thanks so much I will be uploading some more music soon.

OP has an in video explanation in text if you follow along, it's pretty easy to understand

Hi, thank you. I've not synced it to ableton myself but perhaps a virtual MIDI bus would connect pure data / purr data to ableton . "A virtual MIDI bus can be used to send MIDI messages between different applications on the same computer" Here is a link about that on ableton's website : help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209774225-Setting-up-a-virtual-MIDI-bus An alternative to syncing the software you could record the Volca Drum audio output with ableton while sequencing it with the editor - trim the audio start point and with setting the same BPM you could add additional layers like synths etc along side the recorded Volca Drum audio . I hope that helps .

@@noiseaud cool :) thanks for the in depth response. Yeah ended up seeing Abelton to the same Bpm and warped the audio to be in time. Ended up working :) thanks for making this software btw. It’s awesome.

Hi, the background drone is a time stretched vocal sample. I used paulstretch sonosaurus.com/paulxstretch/ to make it. All the other sounds are from the Volca Drum. There is a drone type of sound that starts around 1 min 30 seconds which is from the Volca Drum - that is one of the drum sounds with the Wave Guide repeating the sound multiple times.

Hi, It is an editor you can use to edit the Polyend Tracker Instrument Parameters with your computer. A bit like connecting a MIDI controller to your Polyend Tracker to change the Filter, panning, LFO settings etc.. but this is all done on the computer with the Editor and connecting the computer to the Tracker with a USB cable. The video is displaying sliders / parameters that that can be edited by clicking and moving the mouse - when the sliders are moved they change the corresponding parameters on the Polyend Tracker. In the Video description have a look at the Set Up section to find out how to set up the tracker and how to get it all working as well as download links to the software. I hope that helps - Thanks.

Hi, Phaseplant is run through Carla and Carla should open in Bitwig or other DAWs without a problem. I don't have this all set up anymore to test in Bitwig but if the steps in the description are successful - any DAW should be able to launch Phaseplant via Carla.

Thank you so much! It is actually possible to run Pure Data on ios with " libpd " I don't know much about it but it is possible somehow. I'll look into it. Thanks again.

@@noiseaud Thanks a lot! I will see into it to know how I can do it 😍

Hi, only the drums were created from the Volca Drum. The background notes are from paulstretched audio. You can create atmospheric ambient music out of wav files with Paulstretch which is for extreme time stretching. For Linux I recommend getting Paulstretch from the kxstudio repositories.

Thank you so much. I will be uploading more videos of music I make at some point.

Hi, I saw that error too but this "vs.ninter 2" doesn't seem to be part of my patch. it could be just a bug but if it is all working fine then it can be ignored. I have tested in on mac, windows and linux and no problems have been found. Sometimes the error messages don't mean anything is broken. Are you able to use the volca drum editor / sequencer without any issues? let me know - if nothing is broken - this weird error message can be discarded

@@noiseaud Yes, there is a problem with the seed random number in vanilla (it doesn't bang a random number) but the whole patch works perfect in Purr. I'm using AV Linux (Debian). Congratulations and thanks for this patch, great and very inspiring work!.

Thanks for letting me know about the seed number in vanilla, I'll look into it. Thank you very much for your feedback :) and I am glad it is working perfect in Purr Data.@@eloyplatas262

It isn't optimized for use with pure data as a VST / plug data . It could work as it is within a pure data as VST but it wouldn't communicate with the VST host / DAW without being amended to work that way. If it helps at all you could use it as standalone and send the Volca Drum Audio into a DAW if you want additional FX or something else to use in a DAW which involves audio.
