Pd slows to a crawl on OSX 10.3 - workaround for now
by Miller Puckette 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Hi all, I finally got on a 10.3 machine to see how Pd slows to a crawl as someone remarked a couple of months ago. In my particular case, the Mac had no audio input hardware, and Pd, when invoked woth no arguments, got twisted over that. For now, if you have this problem, run "pd -noadc" (you don't lose anything since you have no ADC anyway.) I have Pd 0.37-1 (test 3) fixed so that it at least will run (and you can get audio by explicitly closing audio input in the audio control panel, by setting the channel count to zero.) This is coming out as soon as I can get it compiled for MSW... cheers Miller

Annoying Behaviour [Suggestion]
by matthew jones 08 Jan '04

08 Jan '04

Is there any way someone can remove the _incredibly_ annoying feature in windows that when you right click the mouse anywhere in the window (EVEN IN PERFORMANCE MODE) the audio stops computing and the little properties/help window pops up??? I feel I have to remark on how dangerous this is....! regards to all, matt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.loopit.org/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Re: comport object

Hi Alexandre, thanks for the message. Hope you don't mind that I forward it to the list. > I am away from home so I can't post to the list. > > I was getting strange results (errors) from a basic stamp at higher > speeds > that 2400 Bauds. Setting the stamp and the comport object to that speed > solved it. > > I run linux. Ouch, so that suggests that things are even worse on Linux than on Windows. Going down to 2400baud is definitely not an option for my application where I can't even slow down to MIDI speed at 31250baud (actually I'd rather have more than the 115200baud I started out with). I hope your errors were caused by something else, like noise on the line, and not by the operating system or the comport object. > Cheers, > > Alexandre thanks, Sukandar

[ot] hdsp multiface problem / sample clock source
by Tim Blechmann 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

hi all, sorry for this off-topic posting, but since there are several people on this list, who have some experiences with running a hdsp with linux, maybe someone could help me... i've got a problem with my brand new hdsp multiface / cardbus ... i got everything working so far ... modules are installed and can upload the firmware ... i can even use the hdspmixer to mix the incoming sounds to the outputs ... but i didn't manage to play any sound from the computer ... i can start jack / pd / spiralmodular, but all i hear is a distorted sound, that sounds a bit similar to what i expect the signal to sound ... the pitch of the distortion changes when i change the rate of the sample clock source ... any idea what could cause this behaviour ? btw, i can't start jack when i set the sample clock source to values greater than 62khz ... the strangest thing ... when starting the audio application, the output signal that is routed from the input channels has these distortions, too, until i stop the application...

My solution was to simply stop using w2k... Can't do that for the current project (customer's preferences...), but for the future it's good to know that the serial port works better under Linux if that's what you're implying (as OS X won't be an option here). How high could you set the baudrate actually? Maybe even more than 115200? And what's the alternative object if you are/were not using comport? Thanks much, Sukandar

writesf~ bug?
by Jorge Cardoso 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

Hi, I have been playing around with writesf~, trying to save '.au' files (nextstep), and I'm getting weird results. I'm hoping someone else can verify this. I have a Windows machine running PD 0.37.0. When I use writesf~ to save a file in 'au' format (using the -nextstep flag) the resulting file is malformed (I can't open it with any sound program). After a little inspection to the generated file it seems to me that the file is always big-indian encoded (it also seems that the -little/-big flags have no effect, the file is always the same). Also it seems that field 2 of the file header (data size) is filled with zeroes when, according to http://brandt.kurowski.net/projects/lsa/wiki/view.cgi?doc=588, it should be filled with ones. I made a test patch (see attach) to reproduce these results . I experimented re-arranging the file manually and it can be played afterwards... Hope someone can shed some light on this. Thanks, jc Ps: I sent this message to the pd-dev list, but it seems that that list is kind of dead so I'm re-posting it here... --- Jorge Cardoso <-> jorgecardoso(a)ieee.org Centro de Investigação em Ciência e Tecnologia das Artes (CITAR) Univ.

GEM separate monitors etc.
by joseph moore 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

I'm currently trying to create a GEM window on a 2nd monitor (I have a powerbook G4) and having no such luck. Errors abound: GemwinMac: width - 200 height - 200 MAC: BuildGLonWindow entered MAC: BuildGLonWindow: fDraggable= false MAC: BuildGLonWindow: numDevices>1 || numDevices ==0 MAC: BuildGLonWindow: Unable to accelerate window that spans multiple devices MAC: no info.context error: GEM: Unable to create window I'm sure there is a simple way to do this. Help please. Also, I may not have been specific enough on my last post to get an answer. I have Gem working but can't seem to load the text objects, all others work fine. Are these supported on Mac OS X? Best, Joe

pdvst w/ externals
by ix 07 Jan '04

07 Jan '04

http://replic.net/~ix/pd/pdvst_001-1.rar hi..just added a feature to the pdvst configuration file, should be pretty self-explanatory: # Extra libraries LIB = cyclone;percolate;tot;zexy this way stuff that isnt found automatically gets preloaded w/ the plugin..the changes are minimal if you want to roll them into the next version...to try it out just move the dll into your plugins folder, and the new conf file & start patch into an existing pdvst v01 dir... im thinking maybe eventually it would make sense to just use a single pd plugin dll, instead of 'wrapping' each patch as described in the readme..a blank one works fine but the .fxp settings format could proably store that info..so when you open up a stored sequence in your host it just launches it with the appropriate patch as saved in the preset... carmen
