Hi

> The Fluid Corpus Manipulation project (FluCoMa) instigates new musical ways of exploiting ever-growing banks of sound and gestures within the digital composition process, by bringing breakthroughs of signal decomposition DSP and machine learning to the toolset of techno-fluent computer composers, creative coders and digital artists.

You can see possibilities here [Flucoma](https://learn.flucoma.org/)

I wanted this sort of tool to make morphing between synth sounds.

This is what i did to compile and install library for pure data :

```bash
apt update
apt install -y build-essential cmake git pkg-config puredata-dev

cd /root
git clone 

git clone --depth 1 --branch 0.55-2 
 
(version 0.55.2 de PD in zynthian)

cd flucoma-pd
mkdir build && cd build

cmake -DPD_PATH="/root/pure-data" ..
make -j2 install

```

Now you need to copy /root/flucoma-pd/FluidCorpusManipulation folder to /usr/lib/pd/extra/

In pure data under VNC-engine, put /usr/lib/extra/FluidCorpusManipulation in path and fluid\_libmanipulation in startup.

After reboot, that should work.

PS : I got a rpi 5 8go, for pi 4 or pi 5 4go, you need to add swap memory. You can search it is documented…

Thanks

May be Zynthian update delete the FluidCorpusManipulation in /usr/lib/pd/extra…
