acid
by Chris McCormick 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Another question in a very general vein. I asked this on the Csound list a while back (when i was using csound) with good results. I'm trying to produce an acidy type sound (eg 303) and having trouble as my current saw-tooth-through-a-vcf just sounds pretty wimpy. Any ideas on how to fatten it up a bit? I'm not looking for a perfect reproduction of the 303 sound, just a nice acid sound. Hints? Tips? Is there some place where people post interesting Pd patches they've created for others to download at try out? Should there be?

Serial Interface comport for NT and Linux
by Winfried Ritsch 22 Apr '03

22 Apr '03

Since we somebody asked, I have updated the comport external (serial interface) now that it works on Linux and NT. See: http://iem.kug.ac.at/pdwiki/index.php?ComPort http://iem.kug.ac.at/ritsch/programmier/pd_externals/ Needed help: Since I am no W!nd!ws-Guru: There is in the VC-Help mentioned that using this kind of ReadFile(...) function could block. Since I set the timeouts to zero it works ok on my machines. I have tried the Eventhandler-Wait-Stuff but didnt succeed with that. So PLEASE W!nd!ws-Gurus out there have a look at the code and correct it, if needed and send me a note (ritsch(a)iem.kug.ac.at). ...thanx in advance mfg winfried

problems with Pd and edirol usb
by Nick Fells 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Hi, Anyone had experince with the edirol usb UA-1A interface + pd? I've tried running under winXp, and Linux (Debian sid, latest alsa driver, kernel 2.4.19). In both, I get random clicks (even just using the test patch) - the same phenomenon under both systems (!). I bought an ASIO driver for Win, from usb-audio.com. Now works fine mostly, but in my own patch, it clicks horrendously. This is a patch using my own gran-samp object, but it works smoothly using the crappy on-board Cirrus chip...!! (just v.v. poor sound). Any thoughts, pointers?

using other s/w with pd
by MLN Kazem, Aerospace Engineering 30 Oct '02

30 Oct '02

Thanks Tom/Frank/Akira Abe for your replies, firstly if I find any solution to life as we know it I promise I will let you know... My usage of pd is not music based so I'm sure I would be unwise to go down the VST plugin route, the other pieces of s/w that I want to use involve C/C++ APIs, interfaces implemented in a very similar way to those in the DirectSound API itself, interfaces which support COM objects - thus my highly windows restricted application (although it is promised that COM objects will be portable in the future???)... ... also my resources are limited....so I am trying (I suppose) to use functional C/C++ chunks of pd that I can insert into the controlling VC++ application. I don't require the GUI part of pd and therefore do not want pd to run as is, possibly I could use STK more easily in this fashion but pd seems to have more of what I require. It seems to me that through portaudio pd is creating the DirectSound COM objects, through the API, and once created surely I can use them? Its Sunday and I am possibly more than a little confused.... thanks again - everything/ anything is a great help ps how would using Linux help me get a license for ReWire? pps Jack is interesting, how do I get info on the linux interface? ppps am I on the wrong list?!

putting m_imp.h into /usr/local/include
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Is there any reason why it would be bad to put the m_imp.h file from pd into the include path? I guess technically these are not suppossed to be 'public' definitions, yet it seems that many externals need to include this file. Its not stuck in the $PREFIX/include directory. It also seems that people are using different versions of this file in their externals. .hc zen \ \ \[D[D[D[D

xeq & bending
by Michal Seta 29 Oct '02

29 Oct '02

Czesc Krzysztof, hi all, I'm trying to record into xeq_record. The notes are recording fine, however I really need to capture the pitch bend messages. I imported a midifile to take a look and I see how the bend messages show up. I get: 0 1-track 224 112 65 1 ; which I understand as: time, track name, pitch bend status byte (0xe0), lower 7 bits , upper 7 bits and finally channel number. Right? When I print from the [xeq_parse]'s 6th outlet I get: 14401 and I don't understand why... bendin object lets me read a 14 bit(?) value for pitch bend (out the left outlet) and channel (right outlet). Now comes the question you've been all anticipating: How do I use bendin to record the bender data into xeq_record and stay compatible? Or should I use midiin? I tried midiin with midiparse (maxlib) but it seems to be converted to 7 bit so it wouldn't help... Please, enlighten me. -- ./MiS
