fonts 4 pd (beta)
by Andre Schmidt 03 Apr '02

03 Apr '02

ok, got my first font for pd beta-ready ! (means, all characters should be there and in their place:) the font has (for beta testing) as internal name "courier". installing in windows: 1. close all programs that are using "courier" fonts 2. delete all installed "courier" fonts (ttf+fon) (dont forget to backup them first!!!) 3. copy the beta PD8x13BN.FON font file to ../windows/fonts 4. ready. all progs that use "courier" font should now use the new font size compared with win2k initial Courier fonts (number 1 is the MAIN courier font in win2k) : http://www.vju-tv.net/sizes.gif (NORM means that i deletet all "bold" entries in pd.tk) ...here you can see the alpha version in action : http://www.vju-tv.net/virgin.gif (notice the size of math symbols & numbers) (capitols converted to 1pix thick in beta version) and ofcourse the font (only 8x13pix version, yet) : http://www.vju-tv.net/pd8x13bn.fon and because its a bitmap font there should be no problems converting crossplatform... any bugs, nags, comments, wishes... can be sent to huolong(a)vju.info (i've tested the font only with screen res1024x768) -andre ps. please tell me what format you need, if FON doesnt work in your platform!

dance controllers...
by Bert Schiettecatte 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

hi, does anyone here know of a dance platform or pad or other dance-related controller that would be relatively easy to hook up to PD or MAX/MSP? Or would be relatively easy to develop software for (e.g. is accessible through a game controller API of the OS)? Thanks in advance, Bert.

Midi Interface configuration
by Orm Finnendahl 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Hi all, I bought a Hohner Midi Interface for the serial port, presumably the same as the Portman 1x1/S Interface. I use Linux and got a lowlevel driver for that interface as well as a general midi driver for the UART 16550 chip. Both can be installed following instructions. I use alsa 0.9.0beta9. When I start up pd, I get a message telling me that it opens 1 input device and 0 output devices (with both drivers). As I don't have any external midi-device right now, I can't check the functionality. If I cat /proc/asound/sndstat I get the following: Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v0.9.0beta9 emulation code) Kernel: Linux grisey 2.4.10-4GB #1 Mon Nov 5 11:31:45 GMT 2001 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: ALI 5451 at 0x9000, irq 10 Audio devices: 0: ALI 5451 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: mixer00 The uart16550_midi driver can't get unloaded after starting and quitting pd (rmmod fails saying "device or resource busy"). Can anybody get me on the way? I'm really no hardware freak and don't know much about the interplay of OSS, Alsa and device drivers. All I know is that 2 weeks ago I got some other MIDI Interface working with the snd-card-serial module, but that doesn't work anymore (modprobe saying "device not found" without telling me WHICH device it is looking for). Thanks, Orm

Re: [PD] announce: maphash object for pd

Hi Ricardo, I also use Lisp a lot for composition. Did you try Larry Troxler's scheme external? If you're interested in advanced symbolic computation, that's a good way to go as scheme is a full blown lisp dialect with lexical scoping and such. Orm Am Dienstag, den 02.

announce: maphash object for pd
by Orm Finnendahl 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

Hi all, I just want to announce a new object for pd. It's called maphash, with additional mapread and mapwrite objects and implements hashtables to store and retrieve arbitrary lists referenced by arbitrary floats or symbols as keyvalues. I use it for quite a while now and it seems to be pretty stable. Below is a somewhat clearer description. For those who are interested it's located at: icem-www.folkwang-hochschule.de/~finnendahl/pd.html In the moment the makefile is for Linux only. It should compile right away on windows, as it doesn't use any linux specific stuff. Maybe someone can provide the necessary changes as I don't know anything of windows at all? -- orm Description The maphash/mapwrite/mapread externals implement hashtables for the association of arbitrary lists to symbols or numbers. In other words it provides a namespace in which values can be assigned to symbols or numbers for later retrieval, comparable to value assignment in a programming language like pascal or c. The associated values can be retrieved and set locally at different locations within a patch by using multiple instances of the mapread or mapwrite object. In this sense, the object is similar to the table mechanism of pd (with the respective tabread and tabwrite objects to store and retrieve values), with the difference of being able to store symbols and lists. Another source of inspiration was Max/MSP's coll object. The code is based on Travis Newhouse's mapper object found at http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/~newhouse/externs and is released under the Gnu Public License.

hi, i just tried thomas grill's new xsample-0.2.2 library and got the following error on launching pd: undefined symbol : __dynamic_cast_2 can't load library i untared the archive containing the precompiled library and set the right path in my .pdrc this procedure worked well with xsample-0.2.1 i'm using pd-0.35, test11 on a debian 2.4.16 am i doing something wrong ? oliver

[announce] probalizer : a brick for stochastic music
by Yves Degoyon 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

hi, i've made a kind of stochastic control object, it's called "probalizer" : it outputs a serial of integer according to a probability curve. it can also be used as a random object without repetition ( like urn in MAX ). i would have liked to use flext for this but there doesn't seem to be any graphic capabilities provided for now. Q : is it planned to have this one day ?? cheers, Yves/ http://ydegoyon.free.fr

Knowing the position of an abstraction
by Linium 01 Apr '02

01 Apr '02

Hi, I would like to know if it's possible to automaticlly append a gui box (a slider or a bang) near a just created abstraction ? For instance the abstraction would contain what to create and connect the gui box but is it possible to know where the abstraction is on the screen ? Thx, Linium
