Flashing Puredata patches with PlugData

Plugdata is a visual programming environment based on Puredata (Pd). You can create patches using a subset of Puredata objects, and compile them for the pedal. Here’s a video overview:

For the patches provided here for this project you can flash them by following these steps:

1. Plug the pedal into the computer using a micro usb cable. You don’t need any other power source to the pedal for this part of the process.
2. Prepare the Daisy for flashing by holding the boot button, then pressing and releasing the reset button (while still holding the boot button). Release the boot button and the Daisy will be ready.
3. With your selected patch opened in Plugdata, select “compile”, adjust the size settings (see info under each patch) then compile.
4. Unplug the Daisy, plug your pedal back in to your pedalboard or guitar, and start playing.

When creating your own patches, it’s really useful to check the “compiled mode” option, so that you get warnings if you attempt to use an object that won’t compile for the Daisy Seed.
