old pds

okay - problem solved i need a version 0.22 PD - anyone have one? I do not want to go through the pain of starting to update libraries on that poor old machine... pointers to ftp archives would be great, the earliest i have found is a 0.23 and this needs tc 8.0 soon, tm -- -------- ------------------------------------ \ / Tim Boykett mailto:tim@timesup.org \ / TIME'S UP \/ Industriezeile 33 B /\ A-4020 Linz /xx\ ph/fax:+43/732-787804 /xxxx\ http://www.timesup.org -------- ------------------------------------ Watchout: http://gegenschwarzblau.cjb.net/

starting again

Hi all, once again i am putting pd on my beaten up old machine. on my sexy new machine, pd30 runs like it should on my old tramp, she fails with: cell:~/pd$ ./bin/pd bash: ./bin/pd: No such file or directory this is the same thing that happens with old PDs that I happen tohave on the machine... any clever ideas? a different old PD worked great, but i deleted it cause it was 0.22 and i thought it was time to upgrade.. :-) tm -- -------- ------------------------------------ \ / Tim Boykett mailto:tim@timesup.org \ / TIME'S UP \/ Industriezeile 33 B /\ A-4020 Linz /xx\ ph/fax:+43/732-787804 /xxxx\ http://www.timesup.org -------- ------------------------------------ Watchout: http://gegenschwarzblau.cjb.net/

announcement: mp3 player for pd
by Norbert Math 18 May '00

18 May '00

hi list, thomas musil and me have written an mp3 Layer III player external for pd. you can download it at ftp://iem/pd/Externals/MP3/d_mp3.tgz for now it works under linux only. and looking at the version number 0.1 you can imagine how long the TODO List is ... it compiles and runs fine at my debian potato box running pd 0.30, any other test reports are welcome. TODO list: in the long run we plan to add encoder and streaming objects but dont expect to find it ready within the next 2 weeks... norbert

order of creation problem
by Timmy B 17 May '00

17 May '00

Hi all, I have run up against a problem and finally (hours later) managed to find that the solution was in the order of creation of certain connections in the PD patch I was editting. Is this normal? I gather this exists in the delread~ / delwrite~ objects, but I was surprised to find it was in "normal" objects too. To reproduce this problem, try the following: create a number box, a message box with a bang, an int object and another number box in the following order, connect: - number box 1 to bang - bang to int left input - number box 1 to int right input - int out to number box 2 then as one changes the value in number box 1, the value out of the int, as displayed in number box 2, is delayed by one change. If you remove the int 1 to bang connection and make it again, bingo!, problem gone. This smells like a bug, but if someone could explain the featureliness of it, I would be happy. I notice that the section in the manual that should explain the ordering is not done yet (I have 0.29 - perhaps I am just out of touch...) Would it be correct to say that the outputs go out along connections in the order in which those connections were made? What happens then, at the next stage of processing.. any advice / recommendations / ways to spot such problems more quickly, much appreciated. I do very little ound with PD, perhaps this is better dealt with in the sound portion of the code. who knows? cheers, tm -- -------- ------------------------------------ \ / Tim Boykett mailto:tim@timesup.org \ / TIME'S UP \/ Industriezeile 33 B /\ A-4020 Linz /xx\ ph/fax:+43/732-787804 /xxxx\ http://www.timesup.org -------- ------------------------------------ Watchout: http://gegenschwarzblau.cjb.net/

Hi Karl, > This is not possible at the moment. The three supported interfaces (ALSA, > OSS, RME) can only be used one at a time. It is possible that multiple > interfaces can be supported with ALSA, but it is not currently. Does this apply only to audio or to Midi too ? Could I use RME for audio in/out and SBLive for Midi in/out ? I need Midi in/out :-) > That should be possible. I also have a mtof that does just intonation (or > anything else you want as long as it is 12 notes per octave) with an > arbitrary A. It needs to be fixed up so that it is usable, though.

I could try to fix it up by myself, I need it working ASAP. > I've got one that someone else did - I will get him to post it to the > list. OK, many thanks. Alessandro Fogar

[WIN-REQ] joystick object
by LørdZøster 16 May '00

16 May '00

hi all, we have to control a MIDI system by a joystick, running PD on a win. i noticed Miller was to upload a PD object for that: is it available yet? we're going to create one, instead: would it be useful to anyone? [OT] i had "holes" in the mailing list messages in last weeks: is it a problem of mine, or have been few messages here? LørdZøster

A little help, please

Hi, I used two years ago pd for my interactive installation 'Songlines' and now I'd like to know some things more about (on a linux box): 1) is it possible to use multiple devices with pd ? I'd like to use: - RME Digi9636 (Hammerfall Lite) for audio I/O - SB Live for the midi synth (if I want to use it) - Motu MicroExpress for midi I/O I know I can use RME and I've used it but I don't know how to configure pd to use the other devices (with Alsa, the drivers are almost OK). 2) In the examples (for example 36.filter.floyd.pd), it seems that the mtof object read a txt containing the 'tunings'. Is it possible to build an arbitrary tuning this way ? Am I right ? I need a just intonation table tuned at 50 hz. 3) Can somebody send me a good stereo or quad reverb patch ? 4) Can somebody send me a good chorus patch ? Many thanks Regards Alessandro Fogar
