windows xp , pd .35 test 24 , cpu overload .
by joge . 04 Jun '02

04 Jun '02

hello all , i recently upgraded my win2k sony vaio z505ls laptop to windows xp .. this is the machine that i usually run pd off of . however after doing a clean install of windows xp , when ever i run pd my cpu gets loaded . if there is nothing running in the pd window then i can still open up a patch ... however once i load patches that i had on the this machine before , the computer comes to a crawl . i installed the sony drivers before ever trying to run pd with windows xp installed so i dont know if this is the cause of the problem . is any one else running windows xp and pd ? if so are you having any issues with the combination ? i even tried minimizing the pd window to see if it was some graphical component that was eating up the cpu but that didnt help at all . i also tried the -nogui option but it gives me the "audio I/O stuck ... closing audio" message and the system again comes to a crawl . thanks again joge .

sfplay bugs diff
by Juha Vehviläinen 04 Jun '02

Hi, here's my fix for Winfried Ritsch's "sfplay". The one in ggee seems to be based on this and is equally buggy, as well as sfread~ (in ggee). With this fix pd won't crash when playing an 8-channel file, but it wont play right either, everything is coming from the first few channels. If you know of a version that works with 8 channels let me know.

Ok, thanks for clearing this up. I'm on IRIX with this one, and the current version is lacking readsf.. but I should try to port it of course. 'Doh!

$ vars again
by eli+＠gs211.sp.cs.cmu.edu 04 Jun '02

This time I've got a symbol, say "foo", and some numbers, say 3, and I'm trying to construct "read foo-3.wav". Tried "makefilename $1-%d.wav", aiming to plug in the 3 and get "$1-3.wav", run that through a "set $1" to a message box -- but makefilename sends "\$1-3.wav", and I haven't figured out how to strip the backslash off. If makefilename took "set", or handled lists, or didn't add the backslash; or if there were an "add3" that didn't inject spaces... but how do people prefer to do this kind of thing? -- Eli Brandt | eli+(a)cs.cmu.edu | http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~eli/

help on random samplePlayer
by Andre Schmidt 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

hi, i've done this for video but my friend wants one for audio... i mostly do visual related stuff with pd so i would need some suggestions for this... what i want to do is very simple 1.load a sample (drumloop) [in array?] 2.divide starting points in that loop (like 2,4,8,16 or 32) 3.randomly play from those start points so what it does is just randomly make new arranged beats from a drumloop (like what recyle does in offline) are there any externals that would easy this task ? in video (gem; pix_film) i just used [for++] to start from desired point... thnx -andre ps. that pd/max compatibility issue is uninteresting for me, because i dont have the bucks for max (nor for a mac) :) [but compatibility is allways a +]

by Ivan Franco 03 Jun '02

03 Jun '02

Hi there list! I would like to know if there is any possibility of enclosing multiple files into a single one i.e. to be able to distribute pd patchs has an application (no gui option, GRIPD and a single file containing pd itself and all necessary functioning externals). I like the idea of distributing standalones has possible in Max... Thanks people. Ivan
