table to receive?
by Andre Schmidt 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

hi, the first version of my little drummer is allmost beta ready, but i got a little problem (and i'm tired, "coded" whole day)... i got 32 toggle buttons with receive-symbols "$0-jp01-r", "$0-jp02-r", "$0-jp03-r"... etc. and i managed to save the actual states of the buttons in a table. and saving&loading that table in/from a file is also no problem... but now i want to update the state of toggle buttons from the table and that seems to take my patience, so any help on this would be very thankfull i'm quite new, so maybe theres a simple way doing this... thnx -andre

If only everything in life was so simple. Thanks again all, for your help.

(newbie) troubles and questions: monorhythm, iemlib, pdstartup etc
by booey chewy 06 Jun '02

06 Jun '02

I spent a good deal of time last night messing with stuff and have some questions, I'll go basic to less so. with messages, how am I supposed to enter them? Say I want to create a start up batch file. ALl the lit says I ought to write "-path c:\pd\bin\pd" or alternatively "c:\pd\bin\pd -nomidiin -path" or something. (ps that is how my path looks). Now my program is not having any of that. It functions only when I write "c:\pd\bin\pd" Fine, so I can write a simple .bat I am just curious what the proper method of message entering is. When i write -path.... or -lib.... I get the message "-lib no such object" next, I am having similar problems installing iemlib. I need to add the commands (c:\pd\iemlib\lib\iemgui...) to my startup .bat and I can't get it to recognize them. I think this is due to my ignorance about commands. Either is goes through lots and lots of lines and then quits, gives me a win32 error and shuts down, or says no such object. I have seen the files on how to make a start up for windows.I also have copied all the right stuff and whatnot that the iemlib readme says to 3rd monorhythm, I assume this object (in mjlib i think) just sets up a series of clocks for controlling sequencers for polyrhythms. How do I connect these with sequencers (say the analogue sequencer in the doc.reference audio examples). I guess this is more of a question as to how loadbang works, how to build and connect sequencers to oscillators. Is there any docs that deal with this stuff? Connection sequencers, loadbang, basics etc? Beyond the manual, the tutorial on pure-data.org, and whatnot. todd __________________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Re: [PD] best way of doing this
by Juha Vehviläinen 05 Jun '02

05 Jun '02

Hi, I did this a while ago: inlet~ - pack~ - int - sig~ - outlet~ and then, put block~ 1 in there. pack~ is from zexy (where else?) and turns a signal to stream of floats, with blocksize of one you can do anything and never need to write externals.. :-) cheers Juha > this in Pd? I can't seem to find any 'round to the nearest integer' > operation that will work on signals.

parport object
by Elise M Chohan 05 Jun '02

05 Jun '02

Has anyone ported Miha Tomsic's (please excuse spelling) Parport object to windows? [linux-only post 25th January 2002] or would that be an impossible task? I've been trying to use the comport object (thanks again WR!) with a basic stamp, but I'm having problems. I realise this is more than likely my lack of skill in these things, but i thought the parport might be simpler. I'll keep on with the comport object for now. ;) Many thanks, Elise.

[GEM] Bug? and strange behaviour
by Daniel Heckenberg 05 Jun '02

05 Jun '02

Hi, I've been playing around with GEM for the past couple of days and must say that I'm very impressed! Great work to all involved. System notes: windows 2000 SP2, PIII, DX 8.1, nVidia Geforce2Go. I have, however, come across a couple of things that seem to be a little strange: 1) Trying to use DV codec compressed AVIs causes PD to crash. Through the wonders of open source, I've tracked this problem down to a NULL return from AVIStreamGetFrameOpen(m_streamVid,NULL) in pix_filmNT :: realOpen() from pix_filmNT.cpp This suggests that the AVI/Video For Windows system can't find an appropriate decompressor on my system. However, the same clips play just fine with Media player or other apps on the system. I have no problems in GEM using cinepak or a couple of other codecs that I've tried. Can anyone/everyone reproduce this behaviour, or is it specific to my system? 2) I'm trying to do some algorithmic gem list generation. I want to have smooth animation, so I need double buffering. A simple example of the kind of algorithm that I'm using is the generation of an array of a particular object. This is easy and elegant to do algorithmically, but would require a rat's nest of patching to do statically. However I've encountered a number of problems: a) can't turn off the automatic render cycle when double buffering is enabled This I've worked around by setting the frame rate to 0.0001 and then banging the gemlist heads with a metro, and banging the gemwin to trigger the flip. Unfortunately there are some other peculiarities: b) the view position moves from the default to 0 0 0 c) it is not possible to change the viewing position (As far as i can tell) using the view message to the gemwin at any stage of the render/flip cycle d) the pixel or texture format seems to get confused... i'm using pix_data to pull colours to give to my objects and i need to reverse the order of the triple in order to get the right colours to appear. It seems that I'm not using GEM in the way it may have been intended, but I think it would be very useful (and I imagine not difficult) to have the system support this kind of thing. I suspect it's just a matter of rearranging the rendering code a little but I've not yet delved that far into the code. Daniel
