clearing the pd window
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

Is there any way to clear the "debug/pd console window"? On a slightly tangential issue, is there a command or method to clear the wish console, ala CLS etc? I can't seem to find it if there is, but I can't believe it's not possible.

what's the best way to clear an array
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

I have an array resized at load time to the maximum size I'll need. However, I'll want to reuse it several times during the life of the patch by filling it with sound files to be manipulated. Before filling it with a new sound file I'd like to clear the array so if the incoming soundfile is smaller then the outgoing soundfile there isn't any "leftover" surprises. What's the most elegant way to accomplish this? Sincerely, Benjamin Israel israelbenz(a)aol.com www.arts.uci.edu/israelbenz I'll try anything once, except incest and folk dancing. . .

how to play a sound file
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

How does one load a soundfile into pd and play it back? If someone could send me an example patch or just explain how to do it with the objects available in pd, I'd be very appreciative. I would also like to know if there's an archive for this list that I can read through so I can avoid asking questions that have already been asked.

Re: Any point in recompiling pd 0.27 for NT w/ VC6
by Miller Puckette 03 Oct '99

Pd for NT is compiled using VC6. But VC6 doesn't seem to generate faster code than VC5, so people who want to recompile Pd need not upgrade to VC6 to do so. cheers Miller

Fwd: Online Tcl/Tk resources

Ben: I have found "Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk" by Brent Welch to be a very good intro and reference for the language as I learned it this summer. Doug Johnson finson(a)whidbey.com >From: Israelbenz(a)aol.com ... >(i.e., MFC). Does anyone have any suggestions about online tutorials (i.e., >free) about how to write Tcl/Tk code. If not, how about any particularly >good books. ...

pd 0.27 Irix and realtime priority
by Michael A. Thompson 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

hello, I have been messing with realtime priority settings under Irix. I have it working and the improvement is very good (I am using a very high setting and it has not brought down my machine yet). the fft patches run better. Convobros.pd runs (about %72 of the CPU) without breaking up even when you interact with the pd gui, although the gui slows down(like MSP on a 120mhz PPC under a heavy load). Im even using the egcs compilers not the SGI native.... Native -- I will do that this week. :-) . you can open imbedded patches without the audio breaking up and move the mouse around in windows without audio breaking up. Also, graphic array updates dont break up the audio either (depends on what you are doing but maybe only 1 click every 10 to 20 secs vs the old way of continuous audio interruptions) At any rate, I only have the code in place for 6.4 and up I think.

pd and Gem and multithreading
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

Are the activites of pd and Gem divided up in such a way that they take advantage of multi-processor systems? Just curious. Sincerely, Benjamin Israel israelbenz(a)aol.com www.arts.uci.edu/israelbenz I'll try anything once, except incest and folk dancing. . . Sir Thomas Beecham

Any point in recompiling pd 0.27 for NT w/ VC6
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

I suppose this question is best targeted for Miller, but if anyone else konws the answer, please let me know. Is pd 0.27 compiled with VC5 or VC6. If VC5, does VC6 generate suffeciently better code to warrant the effort?
