Re: [PD-announce] k_guile v0.0.1
by Thomas Grill 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

Hi Kjetil, my congratulations - that was fast!! I have hard times to get your k_cext (version 0.3.0) running on Windows (using MSVC), just because it uses some gcc language extensions (like #defines with varargs, the bool type and variables defined not at the function beginning, static variable[] without a size) that. I send you the patched source files that should compile under both platforms. There are still (at least) two further problems which prevent the external from running flawlessly: - the INT and FLOAT parameter lists need to be parsed to get the number of parameters for F_INT and F_FLOAT (generatecode.c, lines 20-50) - the static definitions for k_cext_int_funcs, k_cext_int_x etc. should be defined in the ad-hoc source prior to the other code (the declarations in k_cext.h don't work!) There's also a makefile because this one will need less editing since it simply uses the msvc compiler prompt. I guess there should also be two include paths for the ad-hoc compilation... one for the PD headers and one for k_cext.h... two keep the pd/src folder clean. best greetings, Thomas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen" <k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no> To: <pd-announce(a)iem.kug.ac.at> Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 12:15 PM Subject: [PD-announce] k_guile v0.0.1 > > k_guile is a guile PD external. > > Download from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/pd/ > > > k_guile PD external > -------------------------------------------- > V0.0.1 > > -This external makes you able to use guile as an extension language for > PD.

Dynamically instantiating arrays
by Dan Wilken 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

How can I dynamically create counting arrays? I've got a counter stepping a [makefilename sound%d] going to a [set $1] going into a [tabwrite~] object and I think this is all working, except now I need to dynamically create the arrays sound1, sound2, sound3, etc. Also, I'm hoping to pump this up to about 200 tracks, once recorded they playback continuously. I've created separate, static programs to do this, and have run thirty simultaneously with good results. BIG hickups when opening files (a bug? PD 3.6 on 10.2.8), but other than that, very clean sound. Do I need to manage voices, or is that only for midi? I don't understand the voices concept within PD, and haven't found how many PD can support. Where's a good conceptual discussion of PD and Voices. Of course, if necessary, I can share this load over three networked machines, two G4 OS X and one Linux. Thanks in advance, Dan

env~ with peak
by Tim Blechmann 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

hi all, is there an external that works as an envelope follower, but not returning the rms value but the absolute peak? if there's nothing, i could write something like that, but since someone else had the same idea, it might be a good idea to ask first...

PD with HDSP 9632 under Windows XP
by GCPC72＠cs.com 05 Jan '04

05 Jan '04

I'm starting to use PD. I have a Hammerfall HDSP 9632 card and would like to run this under Windows XP. My card seems to be set up correctly: the HDSP mixer shows any incoming mic signal on input 11, playing a cd shows a signal in output 11 and 12 as well in An 1 and 2 also is heard through headphones. However, when I open PD with peak meters selected, only input levels are shown and output remains at zero. When I go to the media menu and test audio and play PD test sound, correct input and output levels are shown. So far I have been trying this with the ASIO drivers and 12 input and 12 output channels selected in PD. I have also tried creating a patch with an adc~ object connected to a dac~ object but this made no difference. I do not know if the problem is with the HDSP mixer or with my audio settings in PD. My question is how do I get my PD input signal to be sent to the PD output such that it will show up in the output peak meter level and such that it can be processed with PD patches? Any help will be greatly appreciated. -Melissa Corso

RE: [PD] PD "Projector", Executables or similar
by Richard Skelton 04 Jan '04

04 Jan '04

Thanks for your reply Ben. I don't know whether you're familiar with Macromedia Director, but it allows you to create fairly self-contained audio visual pieces that can be distributed as windows ".exe" applications on CDROM. These can either be launched from CD, or copied to hard disk and run with minimal hassle. I think Director uses Microsoft's DirectSound component of DirectX, although the functionality is very restricted - you can just about play multiple audio samples and vary their pitch, volume and pan, but that's about it. No synthesis or DSP (unless using proprietary plugins, no doubt). I'm looking to move onto something more powerful, whilst retaining the ability to create and distribute something on CD that is hassle free for the end-user. I became interested in PD, as it looks like you can build an audio engine from the ground up, but I haven't read anything to say that patches can be compiled into a form that is executable on target machines that don't have PD installed. Maybe this paradigm only works if your using, at some level, microsoft technology - I know, for example, that you need the JVM installed to run Java applications... Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Richard. -----Original Message----- From: B. Bogart [mailto:ben@ekran.org] Sent: 20 December 2003 16:29 To: Richard Skelton; pd-list(a)iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] PD "Projector", Executables or similar What kind of functionality are you actually looking for? I think most visual libs will cause audio glitches so you may need to have two PDs running simultaneously communicating to one and other. There are libs such as PDP-PiDiP (2D video centric) Gem (OpenGL centric) Gridflow (2D/ matrix centric). This may not all run on all PD OSs! Good luck.

These objects aren't working for me in pd-0.36-devel. They don't send any messages. Common knowledge, I suppose? Larry

Are the 3d text objects for GEM supported on OS X? I can't seem to get them to load. New to PD. Thanks, Joe
