Audio I/O stuck with both ALSA and Jack
by Melissa Corso 06 Feb '04

06 Feb '04

Hello everyone, I am still trying to use PD with the HDSP 9632 audio card in linux. Everytime I started PD with the card in linux it would not open. I kept getting an audio I/O stuck message when trying to start PD in linux. As suggested I tried it with ALSA and jack with the commands: pd -alsa pd-jack The error read as follows: using non-interleaved audio input Sample width set to 4 bytes ALSA: set input channels to 4 snd_pcm_hw_params_set_access (output): Invalid argument using non-interleaved audio alsa: set output channels to 4 audio I/O stuck... closing audio The alsa drivers seem to be loaded correctly during the boot. When given the command: alsasound.start I get a message that the drivers are loaded. [lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ /etc/rc.d/init.d/alsasound start ALSA driver already running Sound driver snd-hdsp is already loaded I also tried to open both in KDE and the Arts sound server is disabled or unchecked. I am not sure what should be checked in the gnome session equivalent to that of the arts sound. At this point I do not know what else I should check. I also removed `loaded drivers: [lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ pd -oss pd: exiting pd: exiting [lspmc@d68h203 lspmc]$ /sbin/lsmod Module Size Used by Not tainted snd-hdsp 48076 0 snd-pcm 87264 0 [snd-hdsp] snd-page-alloc 9876 0 [snd-hdsp snd-pcm] snd-hwdep 7104 0 [snd-hdsp] i810_audio 29048 0 ac97_codec 17224 0 [i810_audio] i830 74816 1 agpgart 56836 11 (autoclean) parport_pc 19172 1 (autoclean) lp 9060 0 (autoclean) parport 37792 1 (autoclean) [parport_pc lp] snd-seq-midi 5280 0 (unused) snd-seq-midi-event 6272 0 [snd-seq-midi] snd-seq 49456 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event] snd-rawmidi 19424 0 [snd-hdsp snd-seq-midi] snd-seq-device 6204 0 [snd-seq-midi snd-seq snd-rawmidi] snd-timer 20772 0 [snd-pcm snd-seq] snd 46980 0 [snd-hdsp snd-pcm snd-hwdep snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device snd-timer] soundcore 6660 6 [i810_audio snd] autofs 13652 0 (autoclean) (unused) e100 58020 1 ipt_REJECT 4344 6 (autoclean) iptable_filter 2444 1 (autoclean) ip_tables 15808 2 [ipt_REJECT iptable_filter] sg 37804 0 (autoclean) sr_mod 18168 0 (autoclean) ide-scsi 12240 0 scsi_mod 109716 3 [sg sr_mod ide-scsi] ide-cd 36128 0 cdrom 34048 0 [sr_mod ide-cd] nls_iso8859-1 3516 1 (autoclean) nls_cp437 5148 1 (autoclean) vfat 13132 1 (autoclean) fat 39704 0 (autoclean) [vfat] keybdev 2976 0 (unused) mousedev 5620 1 hid 24708 0 (unused) input 5856 0 [keybdev mousedev hid] usb-uhci 27372 0 (unused) ehci-hcd 20808 0 (unused) usbcore 81152 1 [hid usb-uhci ehci-hcd] ext3 73444 2 jbd 54228 2 [ext3] Any help would be appreciated. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...

The range of the coordinates is determined by the calibration and scaling options of the controller. Coordinate values of less than 1000 are padded with leading zeroes so each number will have at least four digits. Scaling may require the addition of an additional digit for values greater than 9999. Scaling may also add a leading minus sign ("-"). Plus signs are suppressed. The Z coordinate is followed by an optional status indicator. A "T" indicates initial or stream touch, a "U" indicates untouch. In the example below, optional characters are underlined. <->XXXXX<space><->YYYYY<space><->ZZZZZ<space><T|U><CR><LF> J2-Y, J10-N, J11-N; 0/1,5 84 T (initial or stream touch) 85 U (indicates untouch) 45 - 193 stream 194 end 96 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- GMX ProMail (250 MB Mailbox, 50 FreeSMS, Virenschutz, 2,99 EUR/Monat...) jetzt 3 Monate GRATIS + 3x DER SPIEGEL +++ http://www.gmx.net/derspiegel +++

ctlin ctlout??
by Adrian deCleir 05 Feb '04

05 Feb '04

I dont suppose anyone knows of any tutorials on the web to explain these thoroughly, the pd documentation doesnt talk about it really, I just dont know how to assign my general purpose controllers to adding effects or changing volume or something, at the moment they just do nothing except change the number. ie ctlin 16 will make my first controller knob on my midi keyboard change the number attached to ctlin 16 but I want to able to assign that value to a chorus effect maybe, is this possible??? cheers for any help, I know its fairly simple stuff but its just Im only startin out and Its seems confusing thanks adrian

Re: [PD] OSX MIDI-->QuickTIme

Christopher, You might try this as a substitute. Download SimpleSynth at: http://pete.yandell.com/software/ Set up the IAC bus in Audio MIDI setup (/Applications/Utilities) Then open PD and SimpleSynth. Set SimpleSynth to receive MIDI on the IAC BUS 1. Then set the MIDI out of PD to IAC BUS 1. MIDI notes should go from PD==>SimpleSynth. Hope this is at least a work around for you, Mitch On Feb 5, 2004, at 12:28 AM, pd-list-request(a)iem.at wrote: > Message: 5 > Reply-To: ckeyes(a)hkbu.edu.hk > From: "KEYES CHRISTOPHER JAY" <CKEYES(a)hkbu.edu.hk> > To: pd-list(a)iem.at > Date: Thu, 05 Feb 2004 12:34:06 +0800 > Subject: [PD] OSX MIDI-->QuickTIme > > Warning: newbie questions: > > 1-On OSX is there any way to route the [noteout] > messages to the QuickTime MIDI player?

Re: [PD] A newbie needs first aid!

Mario, you would not be needing Gem... it is for 3D graphics and from what I can tell, you just want a video sequence to play. You do however need to run Framestien inside PD to handle the video commands. I do not have the link where you can download it handy... In fact I cannot seem to find where it used to be now that I am doing a search for Framestien???? Did it move??? anyways you will need to find framestien and follow the documentation on how to install it. I think it can be as simple as placing Framestien within your PD directory, and double click the FS icon to run FS. You must be running PD at the time you start FS. Oh... you might need to set a path to the Framestien directories so that PD will know where to look for files like "fs.main" and "fs.frame". It has been a while since I have set Framestien up and I run everything from a .bat file and again I am away from my computer so I cannot tell exactly how I have things set up. hope that helps Bradon --- Mario Wienerroither <digitalofen(a)gmx.at> wrote: > WOW, thank you very, very much!

Re: [PD] zexy
by matthew jones 05 Feb '04

when you run pd, you can send various parameters to it to tell it how to behave. these are called command line arguments or parameters. type in 'pd -help' in the command prompt to see a list. in order to tell pd to use the zexy library, use the '-lib' command, or put all arguments in a batch file (a text file with the extension .bat) and run that. there are plenty of examples of peoples' command line argument settings on their respective webpages. firstly - I'm not sure it's a good idea to run pd from within 'program files', I know there was an issue with spaces in the folder names a while ago, not completely sure. best be safe and move whole thing to c:\pd (!) then run: pd -path c:\pd\zexy -lib zexy this should enable zexy objects to load. if you want the help patches to appear when you right click on them and press help, I managed this by putting the help patches in doc\5.reference\zexy\ but I'm not too sure on the rules of how it finds these. good luck matt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.loopit.org/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ----- Original Message ----- From: <Loislaplace(a)aol.com> To: <m.jones(a)signal.dra.hmg.gb> Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 9:37 AM Subject: Re: [PD] zexy Dans un e-mail datÃ© du 05/02/2004 10:28:37 Paris, Madrid, m.jones(a)signal.qinetiq.com a Ã©crit : > zexy may have installed the library file (.dll on win) to a folder not > under > your path (search for zexy.dll and see if it is in a directory in your > 'path' argument) OR you may not be using the '-lib zexy' argument. > Does the little display of hearts (I think thats what it looks like) appear > in the output when zexy has been loaded? > > matt hi, the zexy.dll is in C:\Program Files\pd\zexy what do you mean by the fact that I should use the "-lib zexy" argument ? thx loÃ¯s
