Re: "expr", Perl??, ...
by Miller Puckette 12 May '98

12 May '98

Here are belated replies to some of Larry's querys -- >1. I understand that DSP signal inlets and outlets are in the code, but according to MSP aren't quite working right yet. What problems are there (should I try using them or not) They're working but inefficient (the data gets copied TWICE on the way in and once on the way out as I recall.) I'll improve the situation later. For the moment, it might be more efficient to use send~/receive~. > 2. In the "stuff" directory, at least one of the examples uses a technique of patching two different signals to the same inlet, and the effect seems to be that the two signals get added at the inlet. The receiving object in this case is a "cos~". Is this technique valid in general? If so, what part of the PD source code implements this? Yes, signal inlets to Pd objects are additive. >I notice in the Ircam Max docs, there is a description of an "expr" object. Will this be implemented soon? A student of mine (Travis Newhouse) is working on it and seems likely to get it done this Spring. I also want to provide an "expr~" object... As to "linear languages" I have a daydream of providing a Forth interpreter. Failing that, it might be that writing C code is the most effective way to do sequential stuff in Pd... Miller

Operating System Performance
by Michael Lechasseur 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

Hi, I d/led PD today and have set it up with some success. I've had some experience with Max and MSP, so I wasn't completely lost. I was wondering if anyone has some speed comparisons of PD on a Win95 vs. Linux vs. NT Pentium based system? I am obliged to run Win95 at the moment, but have had Linux and NT installed in the past, and would consider re-installing either if it would give PD a noticeable advantage speed wise. Congrats on the creation of PD and Gems! I wish them both success.

Pd on Win95
by Alessandro Fogar 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Help ! I'm currently using Pd on Win95, I'd like to know if other people use it successfully on Win95. The Metro object, for example, doesn't work well, its timing drifts constantly. I'm thinking about passing to Win NT but, before, I'd like to know if under Win95 Pd works. My system is: Asus TX97 motherboard Pentium 233 MMX 64 MB Edo Ram Matrox Mistique graphic card Creative Awe 64 gold sound card Many thanks. Alessandro Fogar - Grado (Go) - Italy

There are two programs, "pd.exe" which loads "pd.dll" (this is done so that "externs" can also use routines in pd.dll) and wish which loads "pdtcl.dll". If the tcl program vanishes after 1/2 sec or so, it's probably "pd.exe" which dies first. If you haven't tried yet, you might see if "pd -adc" or "pd -dac" works better; if so, that indicates that your audio driver doesn't work for simultaneous input/output, which Pd doesn't check for correctly in the current release. hope this helps, Miller

Couldn't load. Help

Hi Mark When I say that Pd doesn't run for very long, I mean that it runs for less than half a second, so I can't read anything. But, when I load tcl (wish80, console), and I request "load pd.exe", I get "couldn't find Pd_init". Is it something wrong with my TCP/IP Thank you again.

Problems when unzipping
by Horacio A. Lapidus 07 Apr '98

07 Apr '98

I'm trying to run Pd on W/95-Spanish version (Pentium 133). When I unzipped earlier versions of Pd, files were placed in their folders, for instance, "bin", etc. But now (with 0.22) all filles rest together in the same folder I created previously, and... Pd doesn't run but a very short instant! What is it wrong? Something with TCL? (it doesn't seem to be loaded at this trials...) Thanks for your patience. Horacio A.

R: Unidentified subject!
by Alessandro Fogar 04 Apr '98

Yes, I succeeded to run Pd on my Pentium Pc running Win95. Your problem has something to do with TCP/IP and networking. When Pd starts, it tries to extabilish a network connection with Pd-Gui, in your case, this connection doesn't work. Try to reinstall TCP/IP.

Hello, I just recently downloaded pd 0.22 for Windows. I'm running Win95 and I haven't been able to run pd. All I get is "Waiting for connection request..." message and it just sits there doing nothing for a long time. Is there anyone who was able to run it on a win95 machine? I tried to run it on a Pentium 200 machine. Thanks in advance for any help _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
