Hi there! Just can't find zexy library anywhere. Seems like the iem.kug.ac.at/pd/Externals/ZEXY is not accepting anonymous logins... Thanks a lot. Ivan

Problem running VST~ object
by Dave Payling 30 May '02

30 May '02

Hi I cannot get the VST~ object to work on my machine. Whenever I put a VST~ object in a new canvas it crashes. I have set the path to search my VST plugin folder by adding the 'set VST_PATH....' in a batch file I use to run PD, is this the correct place to put it? I have also tried variations on the path command by using '\' instead of '/' but with the same result. Here is my .bat file... pd -lib ../vst/Release/vst -noadc -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 1 set VST_PATH=D:\Program Files\Steinberg\Vstplugins and here is the command line readout after I run it... VST host by mark williamson contains source code from Psycle tracker Contact: mark(a)junklight.com . website: http://www.junklight.com VSTLib: version: 0.1 VSTLib compiled: May 7 2002 open: No such file or directory No such file or directory open: No such file or directory No such file or directory The 'no such file or directory' error only occurs when I include the set VST_PATH command, but the path is definitely correct. Any help please? Thanks in advance Dave

graph causes crash when exiting
by electrobass＠gmx.net 30 May '02

30 May '02

hey there! following problem: if i use a graph within pd it works perfectly, just when i close the patch it brings pd to crash. this can be quite annoying when working...also yesterday the graph suddenly brought the placement of all elements in a slight disorder. os is win2k and pd must be test 17. anyone knows the reason of this strange behaviour? thanks micha -- =============================================== michael thies kohlrauschstr. 9 30161 hannover micha(a)multiburst.org fon@home: 0511-3384859 & work: 0511-30245-668 mobile: 0171-7253164 "am here to inform these modern times of the grammatical era's end and the beginning of flamboyance especially in cinema." =============================================== GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net

no gui??
by Ivan Franco 30 May '02

30 May '02

Hi again! When I start pd with nogui flag my computer really goes down in performance (running XT). When I load the same patch with the gui (meaning without the -nogui flag) everything works fine (fast and smooth)... Any ideas on this one??? Thanks Ivan

$n interpolation
by eli+＠gs211.sp.cs.cmu.edu 29 May '02

29 May '02

Hello, all. I've just started using pd, and haven't really gotten into the groove yet. One question to start with... in an abstraction I tried to create "send $1-channel-$2", but it seems what this does is substitute for the $1 and leave the $2 a literal "$2". Is this a bug or a feature, and does it have a workaround? More broadly: since this doesn't work, it must not be idiomatic pd. What's the usual way to do this kind of thing? For context, I was building a little grid sequencer, where each cell has three parts: a "source" abstraction, a message box which the user edits, and a "sink", which handles the messages in various ways. And when the sink saw a particular kind of message, it wanted to pass some data along to that "$1-channel-$2", where $1 is the name of the sequencer (to allow multiple ones) and $2 is the channel this cell is on. -- Eli Brandt | eli+(a)cs.cmu.edu | http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~eli/

Gem.pd_linux -> raw1394_errcode_to_errno, libquicktime.so

Now if I load the lib into PD I get the error: /usr/local/gem-0.87/Gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/libquicktime.so: undefined symbol: raw1394_errcode_to_errno Gem: can't load library What version(s) of quicktime does gem-0.87 require? The link to quicktime4linux in the readme does not work. So I got my quicktime4linux at http://heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3 Which is version 1.5.5. What versions have other people successfully compiled with? Where could I get them? Thanks again, for all your time.
