guenther, i can'T get the ggext-0.5 package to load in pd .. pd cant find the objects. i tried it with the old stream objects which i copied to /usr/lib/pd/externs and that works fine ... it looks to me as if ggext.pd_linux would load but somehow cant activate the contained objects. any quirks at hand? .so -- bzorstogipptude

PDing my MSPing

i'm new to this list and have bunches of questions to ask... i'm working on my B.S. in audio production and plan to persue graduate work in the fields of DSP, sound morphing, and perhaps EE or computer programming. i'm pretty much a fanatic of electronic music, but discovered over the years that my interest had more to do with the sounds created than the actual 'music.' so... i'm in the process of selling all my synths, drum machines, and external processors for a computer based system. (i'm keeping my sampler..) i know about MAX, MSP, and LiSa and realize that macintosh computers are better equipped to handle audio / visual data. however, in recent light (pd being one factor..) i've become aware that a mac based platform has it's limitations and people are starting to gravitate towards PCs and Unix based machines. since i'm also interested in programming (specifically C) i realize that a macintosh won't be able to provide me with the compiling software i need. (unless someone can correct me on this.. how well does the virtual PC software work on Macs?? would i be able to run a c compiler or visual basic compiler with any success??) i would greatly appreciate any and all opinions concerning PD and MAX with regards to which platform would be a wise investment. i'm looking into G3 laptops, but am wondering if a laptop might pose too many limitations on object oriented / audio software. (PD, MAX, and LiSa in particular..) this computer would also serve as my 'workstation' for school and internet access. laptop, desktop, pc, mac, pd, max??? thanks bunches, christian : hope you don't mind the multiple questions since i realize many of you have skills 'outside' of computer music.. -- " Make More Juice!

> I believe people have done this with Max patches, which should be a similar > problem. I think it just works. haha. thats good. anyhow, i didnt doubt that it worx @ all. but thats one thing generally, one of pax/pd paradigm's most powerful aspects is the way you can "play" around pretty chaotically and operate on the living patient but when it comes to "seriality", i.e. duplicating a processing chain (voice) (an arbitrary number of times if cpu allows) etc it really gets awkward and i think this could be solved best by generating connnection files through text-processing .. mh. > The "connect" messages take 4 arguments: the number of object to connect > from, its outlet number, the number of the object to connect to, and its inlet > number. The rest of the format should be easy to reverse-engineer. yop, i ll give it a go. need to tighten my perliality before anyways .. ;) cheers. -- 341656.981036067
