Does anyone have any guidelines, recommendations, or rules of thumb for
maximizing efficiency within PD?
For example:
Which operations/objects/externals/GUI elements are most efficient and which
are most costly?
Is it extra costly to introduce an object that listens for input like
keyname, midiin?
Is using graph-on-parent costly?
Are colors costly?
Are there any general strategies that you use for keeping things fast and
efficient?
Also, on a somewhat related note:
Under which operating …
[View More]system does PD run the fastest (for a given hardware
configuration)?
Thanks,

Hello all,
I have been running PD on Mac OS X now for the past month, and have been
happy with everything I have tried (this includes Paradiddle and the
'chaos' externals). I am getting PD to send MIDI to Logic, using a
loopback thru a MIDI interface (maybe not the most elegant, but at least
I can send from PD).
While I have not had any problems with PD crashing during normal use, it
does seem that there might be some trouble when quiting PD normally
(using the 'quit' option in wish), …
[View More]it causes a bus error. I am starting
PD with the following:
<orb> pd -noaudio -nomidiin -midioutdev 2
From here, Logic is able to recieve the MIDI over the loopback, and it
can play its AudioUnit patches (and the built-in Logic patches). But,
the real trouble seems to be when quiting out of PD, and then restarting
it, there appears to be a "loss" of MIDI connectivity, as Logic does not
"hear" PD. Once I reboot the system, everything will connect fine. It
also appears to be intermittant, as it has not happened everytime, but
often enough to make me wonder if others are getting this, too.
I am running on a PowerBook G4-1GHz, with 512 meg of ram, with OS X 10.2.3.
Thanks,
Mike

Hello,
I would like to know if the 'hide on lock' technic in Max can be done
in pd ?
I could not find anything about it in the doc, but I thought it would
be worth to ask.
Thanks
hi yves,
some minor observations:
I read:
> other objects are stable.
I had to remove -Werror from the Makefile to compile
the test/ directory is missing in 0.7.6
numbers > 5 crash [pdp_transform]
thanks for the great effort, didn't mean to nag
cheers,
x

hi,
FYI:
just a short description of an observation:
same two movies in same patch played use about
2*20 to 2*25 % cpu when i decode using pdp_qt~
compared to 11+6 % when i use pdp_yqt
movies have no audio track so this does not play a
role (hopefully)
i will just use yqt from now - yet somehow it
confused me a bit

I managed to compile Frank Barknecht's Knob external for Win32.
(hooray! no, really, this is a big step for me) Let me know if any of you
would like it.

Hello list,
Has anyone got any suggestions for reading raw data from a PS/2 mouse on /dev/psaux into Pd? (without going through X) I've tried the ggee serial externals to no avail (strange results, maybe it's not a normal serial port?). If not I'll code my own external.
Kind Regards,
Chris.

Hi all,
before i dive into the swampy depths of the PD source code... maybe someone
can answer this ad lib:
I'm still not completely sure whether insertion of new signal objects into a
patcher is guaranteed to be click-free. Therefore a basic question:
Is there a global signal graph in PD or are there many local ones (e.g. one
per patcher) and what (e.g. which objects) are the nodes where these
interconnect?
many thanks!

hi,
i found a strange behaviour of sliders, which can be simply a
rounding-error, but possibly a bug. the slider outputs a 1, but this behaves
like 0.9999..., please see attached file for details.
