Automatonism [Reloaded] v 4.x is a fork based on Automatonism V3.1 from https://www.automatonism.com/the-software.
The aim is to upgrade Automatonism and use it as a live instrument, with, for example, enhanced midi mapping.
Unlike original project, Automatonism [Reloaded] intensively uses internal abstractions inside modules, in order to add new features.
- Plugdata compatible (for standalone or as DAW plugin)
- Midi-mapping and Midi-learn features
- DAW integration with new objects [playhead] and [macro-control] to enable automation inside DAW
- Automatonism made as an abstraction lib : init a new project just by typing [automatonism] in a blank patch. (requirements : Pd + iemguts, or Plugdata >0.8.1)
- The preset and state saving system is based on (not-so-) new 'savestate' object, where preset and state data are stored inside the main patch.
- The legacy file-based preset and state saving system is deprecated, but old savestate structure should be automatically imported.
- Ability to save different projects in the same folder with different filenames (no need to use main.pd as filename)
- Several projects can run simultaneously and independently ("local mode" in Preset-Manager)
- experimental palette feature for pd vanilla + iemguts. See here : palette/README.md
- camomile plugin support is no longer supported, as Statesaving into DAW is broken for camomile plugin version .
- Automatonism [Reloaded] is accessible via Deken menu in puredata (Help -> Find Externals). Latest version : v4.0-pre4. This is not the latest version
- To get the latest version, download Automatonism.Reloaded.zip here https://github.com/jyg/automatonism-reloaded/archive/refs/heads/master.zip. Unzip it into your puredata - externals folder, and rename the folder as "automatonism"
- If you have iemguts lib installed with puredata, you can directly open a new patch, create an object box (ctrl/cmd+1) and type [automatonism]. This will create the automatonism object and add declare paths.
- With plugdata, you must type [automatonism $0] (with $0 argument)
- Alternatively, or with pd vanilla, you can open the included _main_patch(template).pd and save it anywhere with a new name.
- Start patching.
- pd >= 0.55
- external lib iemguts needed for enhanced editing features, but not mandatory.
or
- plugdata > 0.9.2
