Messages which are sent to the first outlet will be floats ; the second outlet will send bangs ; the third , symbols ; etc.; #X text 19 172 To prove this , click on each of the messages below and watch your terminal window for the output.; #X obj 20 239 t b; #X msg 20 210 bang; #X msg 57 210 1; #X floatatom 90 212 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 132 211 symbol cat; #X msg 204 211 this is anything; #X obj 20 259 print all_messages_are_converted_to_bangs; #X text 20 292 Another example showing floats and symbols.; #X msg 20 308 bang; #X floatatom 90 310 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 132 309 symbol cat; #X msg 206 319 this is anything; #X obj 20 337 t f s; #X msg 57 308 1 0; #X obj 45 387 print converted_to_symbols; #X obj 20 407 print converted_to_floats; #X text 62 338 Note that "this is anything" causes an error.

Instead it sends all list elements through all outlets and converts them as necessary.; #X text 20 486 Also note that some messages don't convert as nicely as others. Hence , the symbol "cat" converts to a ZERO when [trigger] converts that symbol into a float.

Keep in mind however that your CPU is busy doing many things simoultaneously , so even though a process might take 5 minutes to complete , your CPU does not pay full attention to that process for the entire 5 minutes. Instead , it simply begins the process , then refers back to that process from time to time until the it is complete. In other cases , your CPU might require a full 5 minutes while Pd might report that merely a few milliseconds have passed. This type of discrepancy depends heavily on your computer's hardware and the type of processing it is performing.; #X text 478 368 The [realtime] object is as much like your own wrist watch as Pd can possibly manage.

Keep in mind however that your CPU is busy doing many things simoultaneously , so even though a process might take 5 minutes to complete , your CPU does not pay full attention to that process for the entire 5 minutes. Instead , it simply begins the process , then refers back to that process from time to time until the it is complete. In other cases , your CPU might require a full 5 minutes while Pd might report that merely a few milliseconds have passed. This type of discrepancy depends heavily on your computer's hardware and the type of processing it is performing.; #X text 478 368 The [realtime] object is as much like your own wrist watch as Pd can possibly manage.

The next step will pack the two together...but we have to ensure that [pack] receives the two numbers in the correct order: PITCH first , then VELOCITY. This way , using [route] we can determine whether or not this incoming MIDI data is a "note-off" signal (i.e. VELOCITY = 0).; #X obj 26 250 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 46 312 notein; #X obj 47 352 pack; #X obj 47 377 route 0; #X floatatom 47 402 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 47 420 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X text 122 308 The goal of the Miller's example at the bottom left , is to retrieve "note-off" signals from [notein].

[swap] is used to solve this problem by making sure that the VELOCITY and PITCH are both received before packing them up and sending them to the [route] object.; #X text 50 248 This will "bang" only when velocity = 0; #X text 22 282 THIS IS WHY THE ALTERNATIVE DOESN'T WORK?; #X connect 0 0 2 0; #X connect 0 1 2 1; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 2 1 3 1; #X connect 3 0 4 0; #X connect 4 0 5 0; #X connect 5 0 7 0; #X connect 8 0 9 1; #X connect 8 1 9 0; #X connect 9 0 10 0; #X connect 10 0 11 0; #X connect 11 0 12 0; #X restore 28 569 pd millers_note-off_parser; #X floatatom 44 319 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 94 319 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 143 319 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 112 440 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 161 440 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 211 440 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 37 243 2 2500 9 420; #X obj 43 289 unpack f f f f; #X floatatom 193 319 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X text 14 10 [swap] is most commonly used to change the order of a list.

(This is over simplified , but effective for the time being.); #X text 17 85 Let's say for example that we have an array whose values are: 0 , 6 , 5; #X text 36 120 There are 3 elements in this array , right? Well , using [tabread] we could successfully read only 3 numbers. But interpolation allows us to fill in the gaps between those values in a meaningful way. For example , we can assume that between 0 and 6 , we might find 4.5! We can also assume that the slope from 0 to 6 will be sharper than the slope from 6 to 5 In this way , using [tabread4] will allow us to create much smoother lines and curves between our "dots".; #X text 35 254 However , this process is much more complicated than mere "smoothing". 4-point interpolation incorporates a sophisticated formula to intelligently create meaningful increments between values in an array. For example: we could draw a few points on a baseball diamond between the pitcher's mound and home plate. Those points could represent the path a ball travels after a pitch. Using 4-point interpolation , we might be able to assume the positions of the ball between our "known" points and determine whether the pitch was a fastball or a curve ball.; #X text 35 419 There are different formulas used to interpolate arrays. Each method has a sort of niche where it is most comfortable and most effective. Pd , like most contemporary audio software , uses 4-point interpolation which is also known as "Hermite" interpolation. It is the most "intelligent" 2-dimensional method of interpolation.; #N canvas 167 0 570 613 What_does_it_really_do? 0; #X text 20 10 Let's see [tabread4] at work...; #N canvas 0 0 450 300 graph36 0; #X array original_array 10 float 1; #A 0 -0.324999 -0.274999 -0.0749997 0.174999 -0.624998 0.649998 0.599998 0.524998 -0.749997 -0.774996; #X coords 0 1 9 -1 200 140 1; #X restore 292 9 graph; #X text 37 158 The array above has only 10 elements.

However , that is not the case. Instead , every process within Pd and within your operating system requires at least a few nanoseconds of your CPU's time.; #X obj 111 509 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X text 476 144 The [timer] object is like a clock that is not constrained to the regular laws of physics and the universal space-time continuum. It reports "time" measurements as only Pd can see them!; #X text 477 203 The [cputime] object is like a clock that measures how much time your CPU actually required to carry out your request. Keep in mind however that your CPU is busy doing many things simoultaneously , so even though a process might take 5 minutes to complete , your CPU does not pay full attention to that process for the entire 5 minutes. Instead , it simply begins the process , then refers back to that process from time to time until the it is complete. In other cases , your CPU might require a full 5 minutes while Pd might report that merely a few milliseconds have passed. This type of discrepancy depends heavily on your computer's hardware and the type of processing it is performing.; #X text 478 368 The [realtime] object is as much like your own wrist watch as Pd can possibly manage.

Likewise , if communication is necessary between many computers running Pd , then objects such as [netsend]/[netreceive] are used.; #X text 16 441 The exception to the above rule is [value]. This object is a container which makes its data known to all [value] objects of the same name in all active Pd windows on a single computer: hence , GLOBAL scope.; #X text 28 288 3 Network (Universal) Scope: all objects , subroutines , data and variables which exist within single or multiple patches on two or more computers which communicate with other active Pd patches via a network.; #X text 419 15 To create a [value] object , a name should be defined for the variable that it will contain. For example:; #X obj 422 54 value my_variable; #X text 419 110 To assign a numeric value to that variable , a number box or message can be used , as follows:; #X obj 420 190 value my_variable; #X msg 438 167 42; #X text 12 523 The [value] object can be abbreviated as follows:; #X obj 19 550 v; #X text 48 550 is the same as; #X obj 142 552 value; #X obj 384 12 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 384 583 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X text 417 77 If no name is given , then the object will communicate with all other [value] objects with no name.; #X floatatom 420 214 5 0 0; #X floatatom 420 147 5 0 0; #X obj 417 304 value my_variable; #X floatatom 417 328 5 0 0; #X obj 417 284 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X text 464 146 play with me; #X text 463 166 or click me; #X text 416 237 Notice that the number is not outputted to the outlet ; it is merely stored.

By default , the sample rate is 44100 hz. But Pd operates any sample rate supported by standard audio hardware. Sample rates cannot be changed at run-time in Pd , but must be stated in the command line when Pd is instantiated. As well , two or more instances of Pd running simoultaneously can each be using different sample rates! Having said that , Pd can easily upsample or downsample by using the [block~] object. Here are some example of the common sample rates:; #X text 85 232 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 11025; #X text 85 262 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 22050; #X text 86 329 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 88200; #X text 85 217 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 8000; #X text 85 247 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 16000; #X text 86 278 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 32000; #X text 86 294 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 44100 CD Quality; #X text 86 311 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 48000 DAT Quality; #X text 87 366 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 192000 DVD-Audio Quality; #X text 86 347 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -r 96000 DVD-Video/Audio Quality; #X restore 40 75 pd sample_rate; #N canvas 131 31 564 558 multi-channel_audio 0; #X text 16 13 MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO; #X text 32 40 All sound cards are capable of at least two channels of audio. Pd supports these two channels by default and uses your system's generic audio drivers to communicate with your hardware. However , for faster input/output and for more than two channels of audio , PD incorporates the use of "PortAudio" which uses ASIO drivers to communicate with your hardware. So , to instruct Pd to use more than two channels of audio , your command line should read like below:; #X text 93 182 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -pa -inchannels 8 -outchannels 8; #X text 32 211 The "-pa" switch means "PortAudio". This switch is new as of Pd version 0.37 TEST 4 and replaces the old "-asio" switch.; #X text 32 271 The "-inchannels" and "-outchannels" switches can be summarized by using "-channels 8" because currently PortAudio requires that the number of incoming and outgoing channels must be equal. This may change in the Pd's future...; #X text 32 361 To further optimize Pd's usage of your audio hardware , you can explore the following:; #X text 42 402 - audiobuf; #X text 43 420 - blocksize; #X text 42 436 - audioindev; #X text 42 454 - audiooutdev; #X text 38 480 With the right hardware , Pd can manage audio input and output with lower than 10 milliseconds of latency.; #X restore 40 112 pd multi-channel_audio; #N canvas 132 30 528 211 defeating_audio_computation 0; #X text 21 15 -NODAC and -NOADC; #X text 26 37 There may be cases when you do not want Pd to send or receive audio signal with your soundcard.

The right inlet defines the "time" value. The "target , time" pair of numbers inform [line] to produce a numeric "ramp" from its current value (whatever that might be at any given moment) to the new value within the alloted time which is defined at the right inlet.; #X text 5 147 It is important to realize that [line] stores only the current value...it does not remember the defined "time" (duration of the ramp). Hence , the following works:; #X obj 10 262 line; #X msg 44 238 1000; #X msg 10 238 1000; #X obj 10 195 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 10 215 t b b; #X floatatom 10 284 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 151 270 line; #X msg 151 246 1000; #X obj 151 226 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X floatatom 151 292 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X text 5 309 If [line] receives a new target value without an accompanying "time" , it simply jumps to the new value...as in the example above on the right. In the example above on the left , you'll see that [line] will create a numeric ramp from 0 to 1000 over 1000 milliseconds. You should also note that if you click that [bng] again a second time , nothing happens. This is because [line] is already at 1000 , so sending it new instructions to ramp to 1000 is meaningless and has no effect. ; #X text 5 435 Having said all of that , let's just reiterate that it's important to send a "time" value to [line] before sending it a new "target" value...unless of course you WANT it to jump immediately to the new target.; #X text 430 41 [line] will accept a list of two numbers. The first in the list will be assigned as the new target , the second in the list will be the new time (duration of the ramp) as below:; #X obj 416 7 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 416 501 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X obj 449 215 line; #X msg 449 127 1000 1000; #X floatatom 449 236 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X text 515 126 ramp up.; #X msg 458 150 0 1000; #X text 505 150 ramp down.; #X msg 470 194 stop; #X text 430 86 [line] will also accept the "stop" message which effectively halt the current ramp.; #N canvas 51 105 536 509 continuous_ramps 0; #X text 29 44 [line] does not schedule its incoming messages. What this means is that if you send [line] a new target value mid-way through a ramp , a new ramp is immediatly created to the new target value starting from the "current" value.; #X text 27 105 In other words , if [line] receives a message specifying some new target and time before reaching the previous target , it takes off from its current value.; #X obj 34 254 hsl 128 15 0 127 0 0 empty empty empty -2 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1 0 1; #X msg 64 212 stop; #X msg 57 192 42; #X obj 31 233 line; #X msg 31 151 127 5000; #X msg 49 172 0 5000; #X text 18 23 CONTINUOUS RAMPS; #X text 24 278 Due to this unique behavior , a common construct found in Pd patches includes the [pack] object as follows:; #X obj 38 399 line; #X floatatom 38 420 10 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 38 313 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 38 379 pack f 500; #X msg 49 332 50; #X msg 57 353 2000; #X connect 3 0 5 0; #X connect 4 0 5 0; #X connect 5 0 2 0; #X connect 6 0 5 0; #X connect 7 0 5 0; #X connect 10 0 11 0; #X connect 12 0 13 0; #X connect 13 0 10 0; #X connect 14 0 13 0; #X connect 15 0 13 0; #X restore 443 290 pd continuous_ramps; #X text 152 196 While this does NOT work unless; #X text 150 206 you click "500" first.; #X msg 185 246 500; #X msg 466 173 42; #X text 492 174 jumps to this value immediately.; #X text 507 194 stops the current ramp.; #X text 428 316 More information about [line] can be found in the Pure Documentation folder doc/3.audio.examples.; #X text 431 478 This document was updated for Pd version 0.35 test 28 by Dave Sabine as part of a project called pddp proposed by Krzysztof Czaja to build comprehensive documentation for Pd.; #X text 423 354 RELATED OBJECTS; #X obj 443 373 line~; #N canvas 0 22 456 306 related_objects_from_other_libraries 0; #X obj 23 21 tripleline; #X obj 105 20 t3_line~; #X obj 171 20 fade~; #X obj 219 21 step; #X text 17 54 These objects are offered in Pd only if you have downloaded and properly installed the appropriate library.

However , for faster input/output and for more than two channels of audio , PD incorporates the use of "PortAudio" which uses ASIO drivers to communicate with your hardware. So , to instruct Pd to use more than two channels of audio , your command line should read like below:; #X text 93 182 c:/pd/bin/pd.exe -pa -inchannels 8 -outchannels 8; #X text 32 211 The "-pa" switch means "PortAudio". This switch is new as of Pd version 0.37 TEST 4 and replaces the old "-asio" switch.; #X text 32 271 The "-inchannels" and "-outchannels" switches can be summarized by using "-channels 8" because currently PortAudio requires that the number of incoming and outgoing channels must be equal. This may change in the Pd's future...; #X text 32 361 To further optimize Pd's usage of your audio hardware , you can explore the following:; #X text 42 402 - audiobuf; #X text 43 420 - blocksize; #X text 42 436 - audioindev; #X text 42 454 - audiooutdev; #X text 38 480 With the right hardware , Pd can manage audio input and output with lower than 10 milliseconds of latency.; #X restore 104 514 pd More_Info; #N canvas 85 2 397 246 Related_Objects 0; #X text 25 8 Native Pd Objects; #X text 25 92 Externals and other object libraries; #X obj 98 46 switch~; #X obj 171 46 block~; #X obj 45 46 adc~; #X restore 104 488 pd Related_Objects; #X text 16 107 ARGUMENTS:; #X text 23 344 EXAMPLES:; #X text 20 487 SEE ALSO:; #X text 30 53 PURPOSE:; #X text 152 541 - Dave Sabine , May 6 , 2003; #X text 153 346 default stereo signals: same as; #X text 280 435 all channels on an 8-channel device; #X obj 33 20 dac~; #X text 108 18 - AUDIO OUTPUT: DIGITAL/ANALOG CONVERTER SIGNAL; #X text 104 53 [dac~] is an acronym meaning "Digital/Analog Converter Signal" and is Pd's interface to send audio information to the audio channels of your soundcard(s).; #X text 106 106 The object defaults to 2 outgoing audio channels (usually a left and right stereo pair).

When the print object receives a message , its output will appear in the terminal window following the name of the print object and a colon (:). If the print object does not have a name (which you can supply as an argument within the print object itself) then the word "print" appears followed by a colon (:) and your message. ; #X msg 92 240 walk the dog; #X msg 19 240 bang; #X msg 59 240 234; #X obj 19 267 print myPrintObject; #X text 181 268 A print object with a name.; #X text 17 309 When the print object receives a list , it will output the entire list as a single message.
