gem 0.79 for Linux
by Guenter Geiger 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

Hi again ! No, unfortunately this is not a release announcment, but rather a question for Mark. I have compiled and built gem-0.79 on linux and folded in the changes for the gemmouse object under Linux (and SGI). The only problem I have with 0.79 is, that the particle test patch is not working. Now, I donÅ½t have any idea of the API or something else of the particle system. Do you have other patches which test the particle system ? BTW. the test program provided by the particle library works .... Guenter

pd-0.25TEST3 for linux
by Guenter Geiger 22 Mar '99

22 Mar '99

Hi out there ! Ok, this is an announcement for the brave ! Until late in the evening yesterday I did put together the linux version of pd-0.25TEST3. This version features a more or less rewritten sounddriver access on linux, by adding multichannel support. I will test this this week, but I thought I put pd-0.25TEST3linux.tar-gz on <ftp://epy.co.at/pub/pd/linux> and <ftp://iem.mhsg.ac.at/pub/pd/LINUX> this version includes, except the new features of pd-0.25 - changes in the path handling (start searching in the current directory) - multichannel support (have to test this first). This should work with more than one cards, whereas I think it only works if the cards are all the same brand, because of synchronisation issues. - fixed the error messages in the table object (more improvements to come) - for libc5 and slackware adicts ... startup file support too (if someone could test this ?) I hope Miller and me can somehow merge these changes for the final 0.25 version. IÅ½m planning to make path handling generic for all platforms (NT and SGI too). Guenter

abstractions, and table
by guenter geiger 19 Mar '99

19 Mar '99

Hi Klaus .. Found out that the problem with the table object and abstraction is related to the usage of abstractions. You have to create the table object with "table $1" before using the subpatch and giving it the name of the table as parameter. Otherwise the name of the array in the table will be saved together with the subpatch, therefore always displaying the name you saved it with. Step by step: 1) Open a new window, place a "table $1" into it. 2) Save the window as, say abst.pd 3) Open a new window and "abst test1", "abst test2" will give you subpatches with the correct naming. now if you start editing in the subpatch and save your changes to abst.pd, the array name will be saved with the patch ... really bad. To edit the subpatch You *have* to open it as a single window (with the normal open) and not edit it when used as a subpatch. Hope this makes the situation a little bit clearer ... Now I may start thinking about how this problem could be solved .. Guenter

pd-0.25TEST3
by klaus＠wonk.speech.kth.se 18 Mar '99

hi miller i'm testing the Pd 0.25 version on irix... i've some problems concerning the table objekt: if i make an abstraction with an objekt: table $1 the array-name will be set in the right way.... but only once. if i call a second abstraction the name of the array doesn't change. :-/ (name will be same as in the first abstraction) in the linux (alpha) version it works fine. it tried to compile the Pd 0.25 on alpha with the old makefile.linux but failed.. ....maybe some code from guenter missing? klaus

Pd 0.25 test 3
by Miller Puckette 12 Mar '99

12 Mar '99

Hi All, I'm still trying to get version 0.25 out. I've just put out a third test version. It works pretty well on NT and IRIX. The most interesting new feature is that it works on up to 8 channels of audio in and/or out. In anticipation of using Pd myself in a very demanding concert next month, I'll plan to limit my "development" activities to documentation and debugging for a while now. cheers Miller

midi on linux laptops
by Tim Boykett 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

Hello PDers, I am thinking of doing the linux + laptop thing, there seems to be sound in the laptop as standard (is this standard line in and line out?) but i have only found one reference to midi on a laptop, on the HP Omnibook 5000. Does anyone have any experience with linux laptops and midi? Would be good to hear some details.

gem 0.79 for IRIX
by Mark Danks 03 Mar '99

03 Mar '99

Sorry for the delay... GEM 0.79 for SGI IRIX 6.2+ is out. Get it from the usual place (http://www.danks.org/mark/GEM). One reason for the delay is that I no longer (and haven't for a while) had physical access to an SGI machine. I have to do all of the fixes and corrections via telnet with vi...shudder. If someone would be willing to take over the SGI port, that would be great! I have also started a manual/tutorial. You can find the bare-bones beginning on the web site. It is slowly being fleshed out and should be at least usuable by the next release. Any comments or additions would be appreciated. Later, Mark ---------------------------------------- -- Mark Danks -- mdanks(a)stormfront.com -- http://www.danks.org/mark ----------------------------------------

Re: Sound input, MIDI reset Problems
by Miller Puckette 02 Mar '99

02 Mar '99

Hi Damon, I've had similar problems with MIDI on NT. Apparently, when Pd exits "abnormally" (i.e. when it crashes or when you stop it with a control-C) some drivers fail to notice this and to close the MIDI ports. It's all the more frustrating because all the MIDI-relevant functions in NT require you to open the port first; so there's no way even to write a program to clean up the mess (and I've tried.) I've also got audio problems on one NT machine; I seem to be able to address one audio device but not the second one on my machine. Yes, the offending card is a soundblaster. I've actually _never_ got reliable MIDI output from a soundblaster, come to think of it. Have any other PD-ers? cheers Miller
