PD MIDI "devices"
by jfm3＠ouroboros-complex.org 03 Jun '03

03 Jun '03

(Sorry I posted this to pd-announce by accident.) I have a MOTU MTP AV. This is one "device" in alsa, but it has eight MIDI ins and outs. You can get something similar if you want to test this by loading the snd-virmidi device into your Linux kernel (you are running Linux, aren't you?). I start up PD with -mididevs 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 thinking I'm going to get eight MIDI ports. Never mind that I'm going to have to suffer away with midiin and midiout rather than the nicer midi objects. Here's what happens: [jfm3@localhost opatch]$ sudo pd -alsa -rt -mididev 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -noaudio couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI input device 2 couldn't open MIDI input device 5 couldn't open MIDI input device 6 couldn't open MIDI input device 7 couldn't open MIDI input device 8 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 2 couldn't open MIDI output device 5 couldn't open MIDI output device 6 couldn't open MIDI output device 7 couldn't open MIDI output device 8 opened 2 MIDI input device(s) and 2 MIDI output device(s). Using ALSA interface retrying connect... priority 98 scheduling enabled. memory locking enabled. priority 96 scheduling enabled. memory locking enabled. Notice that only two MIDI "devices" are recognized. One of these is my MTP AV and the other is the Virtual MIDI driver. Sure enough, if I poke around at a midiout object for long enough, I find that "device 3" corresponds to MIDI in and out #1 on the MTP AV, and that "device 4" corresponds to MIDI in and out #1 on the Virtual MIDI driver. I can't get at any of the other ports, which makes me depressed. If I run alsa-patch-bay and connect the first Virtual MIDI driver port to the second port on the MTP AV, I can get MIDI on two of the ports in the MTP AV. Furthermore, I can play back on all twelve (or more!) ports in MusE or Rosegarden, so I know it's not a driver or hardware issue. Do I need to dig out the Pd source and stare at this for a while, or am I missing something? (jfm3)

Re: [PD] PD Launcher/External Manager
by bbogart＠ryerson.ca 03 Jun '03

Hey All, Part of my needs for the launcher is the ability to start multiple configuration sets, not just a single configuration. Can one point PD to using another .pdrc file? (pd -rc c:\windows\profiles\bbogart\.pdrc-EMI) This would be useful for a default configuration... I'm really not sold on the pdrc as a way of storing sets of configs, I think scripts (under linux and OSX) and shortcuts (under windows) is the best way for that, that way the configs are seperate from the laucher program, which only manages (and/or starts PD) the config sets. Thoughts? B. ----- Original Message ----- From: Frank Barknecht <fbar(a)footils.org> Date: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 2:13 am Subject: Re: [PD] PD Launcher/External Manager > Hallo, > Chad A.

How do I upload my pD MIDI 16-step sequencer;
by Glen Oglethorpe 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Hi I am currently completing my Final year of Creative Music & Sound Technology degree in Leeds, England. I was just wondering how I would up load the MIDI sequencer I built onto your web site? Should I just email u the Zip? Also got some pretty cool electro-acoustic compositions & soundscapes I have composed with the sequencer. PS I have attached the file, but I think I need to send u the full fselector and MIDI controller patches to make it run properly. Look forward to hearing from you. Yours Hopefully Glen Oglethorpe. _________________________________________________________________ On the move? Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile

Installing PD under Linux
by Normand Fisher 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Hi, I just installed Linux for the main purpose of using PD under Linux. However, when I try to install the pd rpm file under RH9, I get the following message: "libtcl.so.0 is required by PD libtk.so.0 is required by PD" As far as I know (not much I'm afraid) the libraries to TCL/TK have been installed as part of the default installation of RH9. Is this a PD install or a RedHat install problem? Could someone poit me in the right direction? Thanks Normand

how to split a symbol into its component char's? e.g. mySymbol[3]
by Josh Steiner 01 Jun '03

01 Jun '03

hey folks, I've been digging around everywhere trying to find a suitible object to help me split a symbol into a bunch of characters, similar to how you would in c-like languages -- mySymbol[3] ideally i'd like to keep my external dependancies to a minimus, so using built only in objects or zexy would be a plus, but if you can think of a way to achieve this with any extern i'd appriciate hearing about it. -josh -- ____________________________________________________ independent u.s. drum'n'bass -- http://vitriolix.com
