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? Regards, Chris. ______________________________________________________ Chris McCormick - Systems Developer - PerthWeb Pty Ltd Internet Solutions for your business!

String formating -> something like makefilename, /makesymbol/prepend
by bbogart＠ryerson.ca 24 Jun '03

24 Jun '03

Hi all, I need to create a message as follows (a gem pix_image open command) open ../../db/0/10 Where 0 and 10 are numbers generated by math objects, its a hierarhcy of Images I'm mapping to an equation. Its a lot like makefilename, but I need to do two subsitutions. Best solution would be something like printf which replaces a placeholder with incoming data: pack 0 10 | foo "open ../../db/%s/%s" fine if it can only do strings... I looked in the pdb without luck, any suggestions? Thanks Ben

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

1d cellular automata patch
by wwcarpen 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

hello, just thought i would share the cellular automata patch i was working on wwcarpenCA.pd is the main patch give it some time to load, because there is a loadbang that creates 1250 objects in a subwindow. it also requires the gem and zexy libraries overall, i am happy that i got it to do exactly what i set out to do. but i'm dissapointed that it is pretty complex for what is supposed the be the simplest program capable of creating complex behavior. fundamentally i think that it would be much easier if i was using gridflow, (ahem, windows .dll, somebody, anyone? pleeeeease?) because much of the extra code seems to be coming from dealing with my manually made grid matrix. am i correct in thinking that i could make a much bigger window with gridflow without having to worry much about using cpu? my laptop starts to stutter if i use much more than 1250 squares in gem. as far as what i have right now, one way to speed up the scrolling at least 49x would be to have it analyze just the last line of squares rather than the whole window after all the square information is transposed up a line. I spent a couple days trying to get this to work, but i cant seem to locate the problem, (if anyone is brave enough to help me here, what i thought would work is to have a separate 'calculate' bang that is triggered after the 'scroll down' bang which in turn sends a 1226 msg to the int object rather than 23.) the purpose of the demux objects is to handle line wrapping correctly. wwcarpen

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?

table size
by jfm3 02 Jan '03

02 Jan '03

Is there a way to ask an array what its size is at any time, specifically after you fill it with a WAV file from soundfiler -resize? I see the print method, but that just posts the size in a diagnostic kind of way. I want my sampler to react to table size changes without having a [s blah-size] after every [soundfiler]. I looked for quite a while now and I can't find anything. Even in zexy. (jfm3)
