Re: [PD] writesf~: 96kHz/24bit to 44.1k/16bit?
by David McCallum 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

I think it actually *does* record at whatever sampling rate you've got Pd using, but the header of the output file says 44.1kHz (I guess). When you open the file in your wave editor you'll notice that the pitch is lower than what you recorded. Just tell it to read it as a 96kHz file and everything'll sound fine. It may not be the best solution but in the end it gets what you want.

Command Line interface?
by kerry 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

hi all, i need a quick fix for a performance in two weeks. i would like to have a text-based interface to control a patch. ideally, i would like to type in a string of characters with each argument separated by white space and each string separated by a carriage return. i reckon that someone has faced a similar situation and may already have a patch/extern that does this...anyone? i did a quick search through the list and found (really old) discussions of string concatenation objects, but they looked to be for file naming. i suppose if someone had an extern that could take the output of key or keyname concatenate it, i could use that, too. so if anyone has a patch or knows where i can find one of these things, i'd appreciate it. thanks, kerry man104nfs.ucsd.edu/~khagan

pd on xbox-linux
by Johannes Taelman 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Hi! The folks at xbox-linux.sourceforge.net hacked the microsoft xbox and made a linux installer for it. I thought it could be a nice box for running pd in installations and performances since it is small, cheap (250EUR), reasonable performance (733MHz PIII, 64MB ram), and a basic but usefull set of interfaces (4xUSB, 100baseTX ethernet, stereo sound output, composite video output) and storage (10GB HD, dvd-rom). I went ahead and bought an xbox, and installed a modchip. Installation went smooth, and pd seems to run fine "out-of-the-box", but I haven't stressed or used it a lot so far. The downsides (for installation and performance applications): * the usb-ports are not of any standard shape (but with some tooling and glueing I replaced the connectors with regular USB ones). * the 3d/opengl acceleration of the geforce3-mutant inside is not available (not good for GEM) * no sound input (solvable via an usb-audio device) * fan noise (more than my desktop PC) * it does not read CDR's (I had immediate success with a CDRW), but the mutated dvd-reader can be replaced with some extra modifications. So far it looks perfectly usable, but not as your main patch development machine. j#|@

Belgian PD stammtisch
by Johannes Taelman 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Hoi, Since there is quite some traffic from Belgium on the pd-list, I wonder if there is interest to do a Belgian PD users meeting. Who's interested? I'd prefer to do it in Ghent, I think there are several pd-freaks around here. Kurt is allready looking for a location in Ghent... We still need a sounding name. Let's use the http://iem.at/pdwiki/ for online brainstorming. groeten, j#|@

homonymous externals, how to deal with?
by eskogen＠usfamily.net 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

hi list how are developers handling externs being duplicated? i have two versions of counter and two versions of prepend, for example. can i specify which library an instance of an externs is taken from? i think the GEM counter is used in a lot of my patches, but i prefer the cyclone max-style counter. what can be done? i believe the issue was addressed before, but i was unclear on the solution. thanks, e.skogen ------ http://USFamily.Net/info - Unlimited Internet - From $8.99/mo! ------

zexy from CVS
by Alex from Idoia 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

Hello (again!) I have downloaded zexy from CVS (the only way to have the make file for OSX. The compiling process inside pd/extra/zexy directory has been done ok. But, when I try to create an object zexy in pd, the terminal says; couldn' t create... However, if I open from pd the file pd/extra/examples/sigzero~.pd (for example) the window help of that object opens and the object is well created. I don' t understand where is the actual objects and what do I have to do to ? Thanks

Presets in 1.poly.synth.pd
by Jim Aikin 06 Feb '03

06 Feb '03

I'm not a total newbie -- I've worked with Max from time to time, and now I'm starting to learn Pd. I haven't been able to quite grasp what's going on in the preset storage/recall structure in 1.poly.synth.pd, which is supplied with the program. I've added an LFO to the synth voice, created a new parameter called numset lfa (lfo amplitude) in the main window (by copying and renaming numset 2pc), and added an extra 0 argument to various pack objects so as to send my lfa value to the voices. That part works. But the lfa parameter setting is not being stored in the presets. I tried adding the line list lfa-in 0 to one of the preset .txt files, but Pd simply deletes that when it saves the preset. Suggestions appreciated! Also, since I may want to add many more parameters, is there an upper limit to the number of arguments/inputs in a pack object? Thanks in advance. --Jim Aikin

selector~ and gate~
by Dan Neveu 05 Feb '03

05 Feb '03

What are people doing for the pd equivalent of these max/msp objects? I haven't noticed anything in the externals. for now, I've resorted to making a sloppy, non-scalable abstraction version of selector~ in conjunction with switch~. Does anyone have a more concise solution for signal routing? -dan
