messages to 'pd'
by Chris McCormick 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

Hi, Is there a list of messages which can be sent to pd itself somewhere? Messages like "\; pd dsp 1" - what other messages can be sent to Pd? Regards, Chris. _________________________________ chris(a)mccormick.cx http://www.mccormick.cx http://www.sciencegirlrecords.com

Re: [PD] stuck installing on OSX

Hi Mark I am using pd with a Motu 828. Have you try to read different startup file (.pdrc) the way you could isolate if the problem comes from a library. Also > could not open midi output device number 1: Invalid device ID. that is a problem we share but does not matter according to the fact that your I/O are: > 0: CoreMIDI, Port B (input) > 1: CoreMIDI, Port B (input) > 2: CoreMIDI, Port B (output) > 3: CoreMIDI, Port B (output) I would not be surprise that: > Could not create output format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?' > Error number -10000 occured opening portaudio stream are responsible for the rest of the problem (i.e. couldn' t find pd and pd.tk which are there!); I had problem not long ago with a sound card which could not load properly and that was actually causing problem in a patch that was simply streaming out from a file on the disk (which should not involve any audio IO). Anyway, the Adam installer is very stable, but what I needed to do was to update the portaudio for pd to solve my problem, thus I downloaded a tree of pd from CVS http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pure-data/pd-0.36-extended2.tar.gz and recompile it with the good portaudio (I used Adam' s installer for installing tk). You may give it a try. Alex On Friday, April 18, 2003, at 09:56 pm, Mark Ballora wrote: > Sorry to make my first post here so long.

stuck installing on OSX
by Mark Ballora 19 Apr '03

Sorry to make my first post here so long. I'm new to UNIX/OSX, and am running in circles trying to get pd installed. After running the installer twice, I get the following at the terminal: [techboy:~] markballora% which pd /usr/local/pd/bin/pd and [techboy:~] markballora% ls /usr/local/pd/bin pd pd-watchdog pd.tk pdreceive pdsend pdtcl So far so good? Then I tried: [techboy:~] markballora% pd -listdev reading startup file: /Users/markballora/.pdrc Number of devices = 4 ---------------------------------------------- #1 Name = Built-in audio controller Max Inputs = 2, Max Outputs = 0 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #2 DefaultInput Name = MOTU 828 Max Inputs = 8, Max Outputs = 0 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #3 Name = Built-in audio controller Max Inputs = 0, Max Outputs = 2 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- #4 DefaultOutput Name = MOTU 828 Max Inputs = 0, Max Outputs = 8 Sample Rate Range = 8000.000000 to 96000.000000 Native Sample Formats = paFloat32, ---------------------------------------------- 0: CoreMIDI, Port B (input) 1: CoreMIDI, Port B (input) 2: CoreMIDI, Port B (output) 3: CoreMIDI, Port B (output) could not open midi output device number 1: Invalid device ID. using default input device number: 1 using default output device number: 3 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Could not create output format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?'

At this point, I can run the program and get it to do simple math patches, but no audio or MIDI test works. The same thing happened when I tried running the program from the prompt: [techboy:~] markballora% pd reading startup file: /Users/markballora/.pdrc could not open midi output device number 1: Invalid device ID. using default input device number: 1 using default output device number: 3 nchan 2, flags 3, bufs 8, framesperbuf 256 Could not create output format converter: error = 0x666D743F = 'fmt?'

Now, when I try running it from the prompt, I get: [techboy:~] markballora% pd dyld: pd can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) Trace/BPT trap Similarly, trying to run it from Pd.command gives: [techboy:~] markballora% /Applications/Pd.command; exit dyld: /usr/local/pd/bin/pd can't open library: /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.6.dylib (No such file or directory, errno = 2) /Applications/Pd.command: line 2: 793 Trace/BPT trap /usr/local/pd/bin/pd -rt logout [Process completed] Can anyone give me any guidance on how to get this thing working? thanks -- Mark Ballora

rme 9636 - installation problems
by philipp 19 Apr '03

19 Apr '03

hello i try to bring to work a rme hammerfall 9636 pci-card on debian but without success. each time I want to start pd i got a system freeze also when I start pd as user (not root) !!! - debian linux 2.4.18bf2.4 on pentium III - no alsa installed - pd 0.36-test9 compiled without alsa and without rme support. works fine when started with '-noaudio -nomidi' - installed Günther Geigers rme96xx driver lsmod: Module Size Used by 3c59x 24616 1 rme96xx 12556 1 soundcore 3204 2 [rme96xx] apm 9116 1 . . maybe somebody can give me some advice what I have to change or check out. Is there a way to test the driver and the card without pd? the mixer does not recognize the soundcard. rmectrl is working but when I try to open it asking for status it can't open the mixer: 'mixer device /dev/mixer1 opening device failed' xrmectrl does not work! (Error in startup script: child process exited abnormally while executing ...) thanx a lot for any help philipp

Re: pdp on osx
by Josh Kinberg 18 Apr '03

OK, I got libquicktime0 installed....finally....and PDP loads correctly. Most of the objects seem to work, but there's a few problems. I can't seem to create an output window. When I use [pdp_xv] I get this message: pdp_xv: cant open display :0 And [pdp_v41] is the only object I've found thus far that doesn't seem to load.....Any suggestions? Using MacOSX 10.2.5, and I have Apple's X11 installed. I'm pretty new at this, so maybe I just don't know how I should be using X11 with PD/PDP. --Josh >From: Me <tigital(a)mac.com> >To: "Josh Kinberg" <jbkinb(a)hotmail.com> >CC: pd-list(a)iem.kug.ac.at >Subject: Re: pdp on osx (was Re: [PD] pdp.pd_darwin error: undefined >reference to _gluOrt >Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2003 21:14:49 -0400 > > >On Monday, April 14, 2003, at 08:39 PM, Josh Kinberg wrote: > >>When this package was announced, it said that PDP on OSX required an >>additional install of libquicktime using Fink.

Hello everybody. Really beginner's question: how can I make a tilde object if I can't type a tilde? I usually type alt+0126 (here it is:~) but in pd it doesn't work. Is that because of my italian keyboard? Please help me to play my own bloody sine wave! Thanks. dario --------------------------------- Yahoo!

cd-rom pd-system
by marius schebella 18 Apr '03

18 Apr '03

hi, i need to burn a complete linuxsystem + pd on a cd-rom to make pd run on a computer without harddisk. someone has experience with that? how do i know which software packages are needed for pd? i learn about how to burn bootable cds, so thats not really the problem, but i wonder how many of the system software i can throw out and still bring pd to work. (including pdp). i hope this question is not to "off-topic"... marius.
