midi PCMCIA
by Elliot Anderson 03 Mar '00

03 Mar '00

I'm re-doing interactive sets I did for a chamber opera that will be performed in Vienna at the end of April. I'm rewriting my C/C++ code in PD and want to use midi input. I'll be running my software on a Compaq notebook running windoz. Do I need a PCMCIA midi card or is there a way to get midi input through the serial port. If I need the card, can anyone suggest an affordable midi i/o PCMCIA card?

gem & video
by unknown＠example.com 03 Mar '00

03 Mar '00

seemingly, the good times i had with gem are more or less over, since i changed the operating system from winNT to win95 (which i had to do to make my grafx-card TV-out work) .... suddenly the "capture card" (hauppauge winTV primio) won't remember the channel settings - it seems, as if it was displaying the TV-tuner instead of the composite-in, in fact i only get a blue screen; the only (inacceptable) solution i have found is to start pd with the video-patch (the pix_video will connect itself), then start the card's capture software, which will set the card to the right input channel, and exit the capture program again the pix_video will keep the right channel until i dis- and reconnect the video .. have to start over again (at NT this problem never occured) is there a way to set the video-channel from within pd ? or do i have to find a way to fix the video card'S configuration externally ? please help mfg.few.e hannes ps:: by the way, i have done a "rectangle" and a "cylinder" (mark, why did you ever need cones and have not done cylinders at that time ?), so if anybody needed them, i can send it i also did an alternative pix_video that will output a texturable image (that is :: dimensions are power of 2) by zero-padding; so you get *all* capture information and don't have to do this extremely expensive (at least i think so) pix_resize

win9x windows slow refresh rate
by Raffaele Turra 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi everybody! i'm still moving first steps in pd (yet reading manuals!!). By now it runs on a celly433, 128MB ram and win98 first ed. (but i'm installing WinNT) i notice that the system running PD is very slow in refreshing windows, at least slower than running other r/t audio softwares. Is it due to the architecture of pd (eg. audio computations made higher in hierarchy than graphical ones, or similar)? Thx in advance L�rd2��T3R

The answer is yes. In fact, Paul Ossenbruggen is working on a Mac port. So far, he has pd running with really bad sound (lots of clicks and glitches, completely unusable), but the UI and control stream stuff works fine. If it works under OS 8 (or 9, whichever), it will work under X. Unfortuantely, Paul doesn't have a lot of time to work on it...

Not yet, since it isn't ready for even pre-alpha testing, much less prime time. In any event, if people want to help (ie, can actually program), Paul's e-mail is possenbruggen(a)2bridge.com Please do not email him if it is just to ask "when will it be done".

If you are interested send your PD file to me and I'll see how it runs on my machine. Hi S�ren, There's not a patch in particular that drives my system slow. It's PD, even with no patches! Maybe the soundcard makes the difference, it's a very high performing Trident 4D Wave DX with its own drivers... thx anyway Raffaele >>i'm still moving first steps in pd (yet reading manuals!!). >>By now it runs on a celly433, 128MB ram and win98 first ed.

i'll try NT and let you know (i'm gonna try the same on a PIII-500 with Win98first ed). Problems of speed affects the system (eg. scrolling a page in web browser) until the Pd dos shell (i mean the dos window) is open. Closing Pd there's a clear acceleration only after closing this shell. thx raffaele At 28/02/00 12.55.00, you wrote: >I've heard that Celerons are weak in floating point performance; I've never >tried one myself.
