speaking of anything,

opinions may vary, but it now seems to me that either one should be able to write "t a" in an object box or, if this has to be "t l", than there should be a prepend object built into Pd so that one could always prepend the list selector to any message... (the prepend object would also be quite handy in many other respects). Any comments? /Krzysztof

Re: [PD] Mandrake 8.0 + PD0.33

Depends on the way the binary has been linked ( taken from the Makefile ), you can know what is required by issuing the command : prompt > ldd pd If you link with libtcl.so and libtk.so, you'll get independent from distribution. Cheers and thanx for your reactivity for PD problems.

PD & 'turn networking on'
by Rua Haszard 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

I've installed PD to my pentium 120 win95 pc. The first problem is that I don't have networking enabled - I tried installing the TCP/IP protocol but have no CD-ROM and consequently can't update drivers that it requires. Of course I have no network card so installing TCP/IP support is not going to get me anywhere useful? The help file says simply that networking must be 'turned on' - what does this mean? Installing a specific protocol? Or is this a simple option I can turn on somewhere... Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else out there running sucessfully on a similar system with no network adapter? Cheers Rua HM. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

sort of off topic... how to write a filter..
by nullpointer 19 Jun '01

19 Jun '01

HI All, I know that this is off topic in a way... but I am tinkering with writing dsp code (some externals for pd ..e.t.c.) and I can't really understand how to implement a filter (such as lowpass e.t.c.) How do you assess the frequencies of a particular signal and therefore attenuate them? I assume some method of holding and comparing samples in a buffer or something, but then this would delay output? Anyway, I am no math expert but I would appreciate any help.. I took a look at pds filter code and it seemed to be easier (in amount of code i.e. quite short) than I was thinking and I realise that i probably need to know more about filter math/operation in general..so any pointers e.t.c.

System Requirements
by Rua Haszard 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

Hi, I am looking at downloading & installing PD, but I fear that my PC will not handle it very well. I have a Pentium 120 PC running Windows 95. Can anybody tell me the system requirements for PD, and what is recommended? Thanks, Rua Haszard Morris. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

a message to "integer"
by evan sugerman 18 Jun '01

18 Jun '01

hello, You should keep your shameless self promoting off of a list which is geared towards the propagation of Free software. Action towards the subversion of the system in which you thrive is righteous behavior. Dont get me wrong, you have some interesting things to say but if the psychedelic revolution had anything to teach us it was destruction of the ego as a means for expansion into the potential bio (conscious) mass we are. To define yourself as some deity by simply creating a dynamic and expensive piece of software is silly. More so, this method is ultra-reductionist and excludes so much of a truly holistic life. byefornow.evan

"anythings" vs. "lists" (again)
by Larry Troxler 17 Jun '01

17 Jun '01

Greetings again to the PD list. I'm sorry to report that I think I am still "not getting it" regarding the concept of "messages", "lists", and "anythings". I am running into this confusion in the course of making an object that calls into "Scheme In On Day". Eliminating lots of details, let's say I want to create an object that simply echoes its inlet to its outlet, whatever types they may be. I am using class_addanything to handle messages at the (first) inlet. If I send a message [a 1 2], for example, then the argv is the atoms "a", "1", and "2". But if I send [10 20], argv are "float" and "10". So it seems in this case the "20" is dropped. But yet I know it is possible for an object to correctly receive a message like this, because [print] and [line~] handle this case ok. I suspect that using class_addanything might not be enough, and I need also a class_addlist and possibly other handlers (in which case "addanything" might be innapropriately named?), but I'm afraid I'm still in the dark as to how this all works. I humbly suspect that probably the answer would be simple if the concept of PD messages were better described somewhere. The PD code is fairly well commented, but I find it difficult to put the pieces of the puzzle together into the big picture. I think it would be very instructive to have an example object in the distribution that simply echoes its input to its output. Can someone point me in this direction perhaps? If I get enough information, then as payment I will gladly code up such an object an post it. Best Regards, Larry Troxler
