bug report: vradio and hradio
by David McCallum 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

I'm using Pd-0.36 Win32 and it seems that the radio buttons only send data out their sends if it's relaying from the receive, but not if you click the object to select. This is for vradio and hradio, but vdial and hdial seem to behave properly. Here's a little example. Anyone else experience the same? #N canvas 0 0 452 302 10; #X obj 127 88 vradio 15 1 0 8 radio_s radio_r empty 0 -6 192 8 -262144 -1 -1 5; #X floatatom 37 114 5 0 7 0 - - -; #X msg 207 123 \$1; #X floatatom 207 145 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 37 132 s radio_r; #X obj 207 101 r radio_s; #X text 29 95 drag me; #X text 115 65 click me; #X text 203 80 observe me; #X connect 1 0 4 0; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X connect 5 0 2 0; . .

[OT] further Mac OS X clarifications

Alex from Idoia said this at Thu, 30 Jan 2003 16:04:49 +0000: >Thanks a lot for that. >I think I understand the way it works, the ~/.tcshrc is a file read by >the shell when starting up, then it loads certain preferences like some >alias created previously, is not it ? Yes. Exactly. For more info on Mac OS X's unix side, I suggest some things like: <http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/macosxian/> <http://www.macosxhints.com/> <http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#unix> <http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html> >Then the ~/.pdrc is kind of the same but for pd, the way pd loads up a >special configuration as it loads up. >a few question however: >-rc in the name of both files stands for resources ? more or less. It might actually be something like "runtime configuration", but the idea is more or less the same. >-what stand before maybe the application is relative like tcsh stands >for the basic shell on OSX ? yes. and the dot ('.') means that it is a "special", hidden file. >-the line I put in the pdrc file are options for pd. they are listed in >the doc, but some of the ones you gave me does not appear in the doc, >is there a complete list somewhere ? Type: pd -help The extra commands: -cordcolor [col] -- change color of audio wires, with opt hex #rrggbb spec -guishadow -- add discrete shadows to basic objects are part of the "unofficial" part of the CVS distribution. (The devel_0_36 branch that people talk about). These questions, by the way, are very helpful... collecting the answers into a FAQ would be even more helpful to those who come after you... :) >I will terminate if you don' t mind by asking you some simple things >about pd: >the version I downloaded is the version 0.36.0. It contains the folders >extra and obj. In which one should I put my externals ? What is the >folder man and port audio ? externals and abstractions should be put in 'extra'... but with the new "-path" command in the .pdrc, you can now put externals and abstractions in a "Library/pd" that you create. >Thanks a lot for your time. I'm hoping that if we can get good answers to these questions, we can pre-empt them for new beginners. A lot of Mac OS X people seem to be appearing lately, so it's best to offer them as much as possible. A good algorithm for getting midi to work, written for people who are unfamiliar with the command-line, would be *very* helpful, as it's something I haven't been able to explain satisfactorily. adam >On Thursday, January 30, 2003, at 02:54 pm, Adam Lindsay wrote: > >> Alex from Idoia said this at Thu, 30 Jan 2003 13:49:52 +0000: >> >>> Hello, >>> In the pd doc, is said that we can create an alias for pd to avoid to >>> type the complete path everytime we open a terminal window.

Install object on OSX
by Alex from Idoia 30 Jan '03

30 Jan '03

Hello, I have downloaded the Developer Tools from apple in order to install external object using make command line. After installing the package I tried to install the timebang object and I got the following: Last login: Thu Jan 30 11:00:57 on ttyp1 Welcome to Darwin!

hammerfall and low latency
by smoerk 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

i just installed a hammerfall 9652 with oss driver and it works with -inchannels 8 -outchannels 8. latency.pd measures 22.6ms latency. how could i get lower latency (<4ms)? does it make sense to start pd with -32bit, if i have a 20bit AD/DA (Fostex VC-8)?

Who can tell me how the GEM imageVert object works, if it does work. PD crashes when I try it.

gem / pix_film
by leo {depart} 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

hola everyone! i'm using pd0.36/gem on winxp and have the following problem with pix_film: when turned to "auto 1" everything runs smooth and satisfying. but as soon as i try to play the movie via the directframe input it starts to buck (not hard, but visible) to test i only have a "metro 40" and a counter (0-framecounter) connected to the right inlet - using "line" instead of "metro" and "counter" has the same result. - pix_movie behaves the same as pix_film (in that manner) - using different movie-codecs doesn't help either has anyone experienced something similar? any ideas how to get rid of it? thanks a lot leo

Tweaking audio settings
by Søren Bovbjerg 29 Jan '03

29 Jan '03

Hi I just installed a Delta 410 card (like Delta 1010Lt but with fewer Ins) and am using the latest ASLA driver. For the first time in several years I need to tweak the audio settings when I run PD, otherwise I get glitches (DAC blocked DIO errors and spikes in the sound). I have been experimenting with the options: -audiobuf -blocksize -frags -fragsize ...and found that -audiobuf with a setting about 100 works well. In my book this should add a horrible latency, but I cannot notice it (I use a graphical application of an exploding firework to trikker playback though netsend, so I use 'visual' latency measurement). My question(s): 1) What does a audiobuf size of 100 mean in terms of latency (how many samples or ms are we talking about here?) 2) What does the other audio settings mean? TIA Soeren
