Seeking Guidance on Opening a PR for DaisySP

Software Development
1

Hi there,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m a bit unsure about the best practices for opening a pull request (PR) given that the DaisySP repository’s access is restricted.

My contributions involve a new module that I believe could be valuable to the DaisySP ecosystem.

It is GranularPlayer for the DaisySP. It’s designed to playback arrays of samples in both directions and offers independent control over time-stretching and pitch-shifting.

To give you a better idea, I am sending along a video that showcases a working example of my module in action. However, I want to make sure I follow the correct procedures and maintain a smooth and coordinated process with the DaisySP community.

I have a couple of questions that I would appreciate some guidance on:

  • Should I wait to open a PR for the module’s examples until the PR for the module itself is merged?

  • What is the process for contributing to the DaisySP repository, considering my contributions are local? Are there specific steps or guidelines I should follow? I have already read the contribution guidelines and style guide and made sure that the code follows it.

I understand that the DaisySP has some restrictions on access, and I want to make sure I respect these rules while actively participating in its development.

Your guidance and advice would be greatly appreciated, and I’m looking forward to your insights on the best practices for contributing to the DaisySP repository. Thank you for your time and support.

and the fork i am working on: GitHub - viniciusfersil123/DaisyExamples: Examples for the Daisy Platform

Best regards,

Hi Vinícius!

Thank you for the wait. I’m really excited to see that the GranularPlayer is ready for a PR now! I have been looking forward to it. It’s sounding awesome!

What you would need to do is to make your own fork and then create the pull request from that. And then, one of us will review and we’ll go from there.
I believe this should get you started: Creating a pull request from a fork - GitHub Docs
Or this: How To: Fork a GitHub Repository & Submit a Pull Request – Jake Jarvis

Please let me know if you have any questions! We’re excited to have a closer look at the granular synth.

Hi Takumi,

Thank you so much for your prompt response and for expressing enthusiasm about the GranularPlayer module! I truly appreciate your guidance.

I have taken your advice and created a fork, and I am excited to let you know that I have just opened the pull request for the GranularPlayer module. You can find the PR at the following link:

GranularPlayer Pull Request

I’ve followed the steps outlined in the GitHub documentation you shared, and I’m looking forward to your feedback and any further instructions you may have.

If you have any questions or if there’s anything else I can provide, please feel free to let me know. I’m eager to contribute to the DaisySP community and improve the platform.

Thanks again for your time and support!

Best regards,
Vinícius Fernandes

I cloned that repo (with --recurse), rebuilt libs.
Tried to build granularPlayer, got:

granularplayer.cpp:21:1: error: ‘GranularPlayer’ does not name a type
21 | GranularPlayer granularPlayer;

Am I just making some kind of GitHub error?

Thank you so much, @Takumi_Ogata! Feel free to reach out anytime if you believe I can be of assistance in any way

Hi @tele_player,

Thanks a lot for giving my implementation a try. Since it’s a PR still under review, you can follow these steps to address the issue and make use of the GranularPlayer module:

  1. After completing all the steps outlined here, go ahead and delete the DaisySP folder from your DaisyExamples directory.
  2. Clone the DaisySP version I’ve provided anywhere you prefer (cloning it in the root of the DaisyExamples folder would be easier). If you decide to clone the DaisySP folder elsewhere, make sure to copy it to the root folder of DaisyExamples. Note that this version is on the granular_player branch of my repository.
  3. Execute the “rebuild_all” shell script found in the DaisyExamples repository.

You should be all set! If you encounter any further issues, feel free to reach out to me. I’ll do my best to respond promptly. Thanks! :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks -

As is suspected, it was a git error - I didn’t get the correct DaisySP branch.
Build is sucessful now - I’ll probably hack it to use Patch.Init().

Edit: running granularplayer, with minor changes, on Patch.Init(). Making interesting noises!
