Dynamic creation and destruction of arrays
by Søren Bovbjerg 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Hi I have to use a bunch (actually a whole lot) of arrays. Instead of manually making an 'array nest' I would like to autocreate the arrays when I need them. I can create graphs but can't seem to get the syntax right for creating arrays. Is there some reference somewhere that tells me how? I looked though Damien Henry's fine examples but they hold no information about arrays (although it is mentioned in the intro.txt) TIA Soeren

midi processing with pd
by saylor＠attbi.com 25 Sep '02

25 Sep '02

Hi I'm trying to do something with MIDI and I'm wondering if pd is the right tool. Ideally, I'd generate a source file with midi instructions in it and then pd would 'realize' it. I am a programmer, so I don't mind writing code [but I can't imagine I'm the first person to want something like this]. Or maybe pd can do it all [put data in an array and manipulate it with pd objects] so I wouldn't need the generated source file. The kinds of manipulation I'd do have to do with changing the tone color [instrument], tempo changes, tuning manipulation [weird in midi, I know], pitch material modification. My needs are pretty minimal- ony 4 channels, nothing too fast or too slow. Maybe my description is too generic, but if anyone has any ideas or pointers [or questions], please send them out. -- \js ;`>$.|\_( #~ )[= '=

I can't find this in ggee 0.24. Joe Sarlo's version is significantly different than what I have in my patches, and it doesn't tell me when the button comes up (that I can tell). While I'm at my complaining, ggee24 and 24b don't event ./configure on linux. Any and all clues appreciated. -- (jfm3 2838 BCBA 93BA 3058 ED95 A42C 37DB 66D1 B43C 9FD0)

trackers!?
by Andre Schmidt 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

hi all, i was randomly surfing the net again and found this http://www.mikmod.org/ a module player library for many os, and i remembered that i have over 600 modules that i created on the old 386/486 days :) but sadly i'm not a coder (yet/maybe) so i dont know(exactly) how i could use this to make an external for PD... i read the manuals of mikmod and was pleased that it has the functions what i would love to control trough pd, "setPosition" & "muteChannel"... so if theres any tracker/pd freaks with coding skills, i would love to see this external... otherwise i code it my self, but it WILL last a while.. cheers -andre ps. if some1 is interested on my old modules, i can upload some of them on my server for free usage...

bugs and question
by Mathieu Bouchard 24 Sep '02

PureData detects tcl8.0, but does not run properly with it, due to its usage of the [string map] function. PureData detects tcl8.3, but may attempt to run it with tk8.0, and tk8.0 refuses to run with tcl8.3. How do I add a new type of Atom? If not, what may I use to pass void* around? You see, I used to use integers to pass around pointers, because my methods always knew beforehand what were function pointers and what were int pointers and what were just integers. However there is no integer type in PureData. What should I do? ________________________________________________________________ Mathieu Bouchard http://artengine.ca/matju

patcher~ suggestions
by João Miguel Pais 24 Sep '02

24 Sep '02

Hello, I had a couple suggestions for the patcher~ creator, Olaf Matthes (if they make sense): - possibility to regulate number of entrances and exits and to correspond existing number of plugs to the number displayed in the object. Example: "patcher~ 5 3" (shows 5 ins, 3 outs) (- or in terms of processing it doesn't make a difference the number of exits?) - option to display of setting connections dialogue in command window, instead of compulsory (after a while, the window is full, and when one already has the connections programmed, it is not necessary to see them again) João Miguel Pais
