PD to single device with multiple MIDI ports
by jfm3＠ouroboros-complex.org 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

I have a MOTU MTP AV. This is one "device" in alsa, but it has eight MIDI ins and outs. You can get something similar if you want to test this by loading the snd-virmidi device into your Linux kernel (you are running Linux, aren't you?). I start up PD with -mididevs 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 thinking I'm going to get eight MIDI ports. Never mind that I'm going to have to suffer away with midiin and midiout rather than the nicer midi objects. Here's what happens: [jfm3@localhost opatch]$ sudo pd -alsa -rt -mididev 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -noaudio couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI input device 2 couldn't open MIDI input device 5 couldn't open MIDI input device 6 couldn't open MIDI input device 7 couldn't open MIDI input device 8 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 2 couldn't open MIDI output device 5 couldn't open MIDI output device 6 couldn't open MIDI output device 7 couldn't open MIDI output device 8 opened 2 MIDI input device(s) and 2 MIDI output device(s). Using ALSA interface retrying connect... priority 98 scheduling enabled. memory locking enabled. priority 96 scheduling enabled. memory locking enabled. Notice that only two MIDI "devices" are recognized. One of these is my MTP AV and the other is the Virtual MIDI driver. Sure enough, if I poke around at a midiout object for long enough, I find that "device 3" corresponds to MIDI in and out #1 on the MTP AV, and that "device 4" corresponds to MIDI in and out #1 on the Virtual MIDI driver. I can't get at any of the other ports, which makes me depressed. If I run alsa-patch-bay and connect the first Virtual MIDI driver port to the second port on the MTP AV, I can get MIDI on two of the ports in the MTP AV. Furthermore, I can play back on all twelve (or more!) ports in MusE or Rosegarden, so I know it's not a driver or hardware issue. Do I need to dig out the Pd source and stare at this for a while, or am I missing something? (jfm3)

XY Controller Abstraction Release!
by bbogart＠ryerson.ca 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

Hello all, This is the Beta release of my xy controller abstraction. It should work on all platforms, and only requires Zexy. Its smooth, does not seem to take up too much CPU time, and it has acceleration. I'd love any feedback anyone may have for improvement. http://www.ekran.org/ben/research/xy/ Thanks Ben

Master's Thesis Online
by Gregory M Rippin 30 May '03

30 May '03

Hi everyone, My Master's thesis, "Who is Listening: Human and Computer Influence in Interactive Music Systems" is now available online at home.nyu.edu/~gmr222/WhoIsListening.pdf This paper presents a definition of interactive systems and sets up a framework for a taxonomy of existing and future systems. PD is used extensively throughout. You can get the example patches from the text from my home page at home.nyu.edu/~gmr222/ Feedback is most welcome. Thanks, Greg Rippin

[dev] flext 0.4.4 - c++ layer for cross-platform external development
by Thomas Grill 23 May '03

23 May '03

Hi all, i just uploaded a new release of flext, a c++ layer for cross-platform development of PD and Max/MSP externals. Several bugs have been fixed and some features been added. - fixed bug for Max/MSP method-to-symbol binding - fixed memory corruption bugs - introduced SIMD copy/set functions for SSE/Altivec-enabled CPUs - update for PD 0.37 - some more functions for sending messages to the object itself - a few updates for flext shared library builds Download as usual from http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext best greetings, Thomas

updated ff externals
by vanDongen-Gilcher 21 May '03

21 May '03

I just put up an update for my force feedback external lib. changes: It now has better error checking. The library checks for available ff devices on loading, and assigns numbers to them as it finds them. (starting at 0) The externals now refer to the device by this number. (usually 0 if you have only one ff device) If you run out of memory on the force-feedback device, you now can load and unload effects. Ijust thought of another use for ff-effects: attach 2 ff joy sticks to the computer and make a copy of pd_joystick that uses the second joystick. You now can make forcefeedback music games for multiple players. Where your actions with your 'stick pushes the 'stick of your opponent. All in pd. Gerard PS Hans-Cristoph, I have somehow lost your examples. Could you mail them to me again, and I will include them.
