crazy weird stuff happening.
by Tom Dunstan 01 Nov '04

01 Nov '04

hi crew(s) i just discovered little problem that i cannot figure out at all. it has been happening for the last couple of weeks and i really need to iron it out before i lose faith in my tools. i am posting this to both the demudi list and the pd because i'm not sure where the problem originates. i am using demudi with pd 38 test 7(althought this same problem is occurring with devel-37 and the stable 37). So i have this (pd) patch and admittedly its quite big, lots of live sampling and looping. i have made bigger patches before so i'm not convinced that i'm being excessive. it runs fine for about 20 minutes then all of a sudden the whole system goes into a melt down. the mouse is really slow and X looks as if its going to give up. (in some cases it does). my computer goes all crazy and the hard disk light is flashing like mad. the cpu meters (both pd and linux 'top' ) don't seem to be peaking out, its hovering around 30%. this all happened in a rehearsal the other day and it was quite embarrassing. i'm not quite sure where the problem is originating so any suggestions that i should check out would be great. am i using too many GOPs perhaps? one other question while i'm here, i am also running JACK at 11.6 latency. the latency for the piece i am working on is important so i am reluctant to go slower here. the funny thing is though, i can't seem to get this latency with using 'just' ALSA. i get a bunch of clicks if i go below 20ms. this i odd to me because i would have thought that it would be more effiecient to use just ALSA without JACK to get super low latency. plus i am not using any other software besides PD so i don't really need jack running....do i? any suggestion would be fantastic. cheers tom p4 2.6 (800fsb) 512RAM M-Audio Delta 1010.

Using two qwerty keyboards (one standard, one USB) attached to the same PC
by ClaudiusMaximus 31 Oct '04

31 Oct '04

I have a spare USB qwerty keyboard lying around not doing anything useful, and I was wondering whether it is possible to have two keyboards connected to the same PC (running GNU/Linux Red Hat 9 PlanetCCRMA) without the OS getting horribly confused. Has anyone tried this successfully? How do you set it up (what externals etc do I need)? The plan is to have the USB keyboard as an interface to trigger Pd events (I like the tracker-style 2.5 octave set-up) while the normal keyboard is used simultaneously for text entry. Extending this idea, what about one standard qwerty keyboard for typing and multiple USB qwerty keyboards (with multiple humans) for controlling Pd? I'm too poor to afford all these fancy OSC control surfaces that seem to be all the rage these days... -- http://claudiusmaximus.tk

The metrics for the bitstream vera mono font are okay, actually. See the pd.tk-bitstream I posted on pd-list yesterday. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__
