Pd 0.27 released
by Miller Puckette 06 Sep '99

06 Sep '99

Hi all, I've released Pd 0.27. New features include: (NT) flag to defeat constant resynchronization of audio (IRIX) finally got the *$&%# to compile as N32 (all platformas) made a search feature. I fixed the textfile_rewind and pd_clear bugs that 50.z>XX_IWTR.753.28 reported earlier today (thanks for telling me!) and wrote some new objects for compatibility with various programs named after Max Mathews. cheers Miller

On this subject: >so my tab or file loader looks like this: makefilename $PD_HOME/control/%d.tab so, assuming i ve identical filesystem under $PD_HOME, i dont have to change anything for pd to find all its files ... ... OK but in this situation you might be able to make the filenames relative, like "control/%d.tab" so that the patches will work no matter where you put them, on any machine at all. There might be other good reasons to be able to slap environment variables into object boxes... anyone? Miller

hu. it would be good if pd could understand environment variables. especially useful if you re distributing patches across multiple machines. so my tab or file loader looks like this: makefilename $PD_HOME/control/%d.tab so, assuming i ve identical filesystem under $PD_HOME, i dont have to change anything for pd to find all its files ... ?? -- $ �� $ 8022.49999Z lets get wasted! http://subnet.web.fm - 11110 11000 11111 10000 00011 11100 000 000

hello all, i'm very new to this whole Pd thing have some questions. would a book written for Max/MSP be good to use to learn Pd? i was looking through it and have notice that Max has things like sliders and other GUI things, does Pd have these as well? should it keep scrolling pd: resyncing audio in the dos window. i'm running this on win98. hopefully i'll be able to run it on nt4 soon. why are my doc .pd files messy looking? they come up like there isn't enough room for everything with things overlapping each other. can pd deal with multiple midi outputs on the same computer? thanks, deno -- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: :: emanate records - www.syncopated.net/emanate : : : now out : ema002 - if.then.else 'realizations' : ema003 - lilienthal 'castor & pollux' : ::: coming soon: limited sybarite 7" : :

>hey.. would it take very much to port pd to beos? most diff would be non tcl interphace i guess, but maybe there is other stuff. Yes! But really, I think you should wait for someone to port Tcl/Tk to beos. The tcl/tk community must be more than 1000 times larger than the Pd community. Another thought, if there really isn't a beos Tk yet (isn't there?) is that you should run pd-gui on your no-fan notebook next to the mixer in the concert hall, and run Pd on beos on a more powerful machine offstage. The problem where Pd slows down when your number boxes get active is very real but I have a plan to fix it... cheers Miller

hey.. would it take very much to port pd to beos? most diff would be non tcl interphace i guess, but maybe there is other stuff. would be nice for displayed information not to have so much influence on processing. like, if you use number as display, seems to slow most stuff down.. a thing: if you clip a sawtooth and listen, seems to get louder.. can do this also with 35.filter.sweep with (pitch 38, sweep speed -132, sweep depth 260, base center freq 192, q 7). this is pretty cool .. also, when you stop listening (apres listening for a while), other sounds have strangeness, like computer fan .. i tried this on my brother and he got same stuff .. au revoir. a1ex
