Gating List Messages
by Jim Aikin 08 Jun '03

08 Jun '03

I'm wondering how to gate (allow to pass or prevent passage of) messages that consist of lists -- something like Max's gate and switch objects. Gating single floats can be done with the select object, but how do I gate lists? Is there an object that I've missed when scanning the object list in the documentation? Thanks for any tips! --Jim Aikin

bug? send~ screams when switch~ off
by David McCallum 08 Jun '03

08 Jun '03

Howdy all, If you have a stream going to a send~ object in a subpatch/abstraction and the subpatch is switch~ed off, the corresponding receive~ (outside the subpatch) squeals really annoyingly. I've found this doesn't happen with throw~ or if the audio is sent out an outlet~, but only with send~. There's an example below if I'm not explaining myself properly. I'm using .36 David #N canvas 390 169 238 118 10; #N canvas 0 0 460 310 sub 0; #X obj 109 85 osc~ 220; #X obj 100 133 s~ thing; #X obj 245 79 inlet; #X obj 251 115 switch~; #X obj 142 192 outlet~; #X obj 131 110 throw~ foo; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 0 0 4 0; #X connect 0 0 5 0; #X connect 2 0 3 0; #X restore 15 44 pd sub; #X obj 15 15 tgl 15 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1 0 1 ; #X obj 79 11 r~ thing; #X obj 141 10 catch~ foo; #X obj 70 40 dac~; #X text 16 73 turn me on and off!; #X connect 1 0 0 0; #X connect 2 0 4 0; #X connect 2 0 4 1; . .

[ot] Thinkpad 770 linux and PD
by Matthew Allen 07 Jun '03

07 Jun '03

I may have access to a thinkpad 770 (233?300?mhz) with 128mb ram. Its painfully slow with windows (as witnessed by posts on this list), but there is a pretty large linux community for these things. Is anone using one (or have used one) running linux and PD? If so how is the native sound card? How was performance? etc etc. I can get it super cheap, I just dont know if I should waste my time and effort trying to get a stable linux build running on it. m.

University of Electronic Music

I would second the schools that have already been mentioned, here are some that may not have been, but would also make good choices. In Britain I would recommend: The University of Sheffield (the city is home of Warp Records) The US : Renseller Polytech -in New York San Francisco Conservatoire of Music - has a little electronic department (I am bias because I'm friend's with Alden Jenks) UC Santa Cruz Electronic Music Studios - I am a slug alumni , offers a minor in electronic music and David Z. sometimes guest lectures. Though not technically a school there is the center on Haight Ashbury called Robotspeak that offers some electronic music clinics -more for dance music

I read: > - dsp cycles: if i have a complex calculation that requires several pd > objects, will it take several dsp cycles (one for each object) or is > it calculated at once. eg, if i have an abstraction that does 100 > calculations (one after another) when i send a bang, would it take > 100 dsp cycles? no, every ~ object's dsp routine is called exactly once per dsp_cycle, if one or several objects fail at doing there calculations on the sample- buffer in that time you will hear dropouts. > - how can you switch of the calculation of some generators / > subpatches / patches? (i would really need this in my patches) [switch~] > - abstractions vs externals: i suppose externals would be faster (if > you want you could even write your external in the assembler > language of your machine), but require more ram (more code, maybe > larger classes)... is this correct? well externals should usually be faster (since they are compiled) and there are things one simply cannot solve with the internal objects.

Re: [PD] space in label bug in slider properties
by bbogart＠ryerson.ca 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

This has always been confusing to me, because the default bindings for tcl/tk does proper tabbing. I just did a test using pack and grid and tabbing works fine, even with the wish included with PD. I just looked through the tk code and can't see anything that would change that behavior, but I did notice that the cursor jumps to the first entry widget, this is not default behavior, perhaps this is whats causing the lack of tabbing... I can't see the code for that anywhere...
