installing new externals on OS-X
by greg kellum 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hi, I just (re)installed Pd on OS-X using the Pd OS-X installer. The Percolate external doesn't come with this distribution. So I would like to install it myself, but I haven't been able to figure out where the OS-X installer writes its files and how one adds new externals to the installation. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks, Greg Kellum _________________________________________________________________ Find things fast with the new MSN Toolbar includes FREE pop-up blocking! http://clk.atdmt.com/AVE/go/onm00200414ave/direct/01/

That's exactly what I needed. [coll] seems to be crashing my PD (will figure out why later...) but I think [pool] will do the job.

Gem 3D Text
by timon botez 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

Hi, I have a small problem with the Gem 3dText object. When I send a stream of single words to the object, the baseline keeps shifting. This happens when the word has a descending character. I tried to send a <center> message through justify but I only get this reply: error: GEM: TextBase: invalid height justification: center. Anyone else experienced this? Im on OSX. Thanks Timon.

raw keyboard input?
by Bill Sack 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

hi again, i have a series of patches that i need to be able to control through keyboard commands regardless of whether the window containing the pd object that grabs the input is the current focus or not. did that sentence make any sense? i need to be able to get the raw stuff from the keyboard input which i can then filter and interpret at will. i found and built hans' linuxevent objects, but i'm missing some basic bit of information regarding the linux event system. the hid module is loaded on my machine, but trying any of the examples in linuxhid reports something like: [linuxevent] open /dev/input/keyboard failed googling around produced the USB HID for Linux USB document which didn't really help that much. can anyone suggest a way to do this in pd with linux? i'd realy like to do it inside pd, as opposed to yet another helper app that communicates via netreceive, etc. i'd also like to avoid any additional hardware, i.e. usb or serial outboard devices. grateful as always, bill -- _________ Bill Sack wsack(a)acsu.buffalo.edu ----------------------

by Bill Sack 05 Mar '04

05 Mar '04

hi, i'm trying to upgrade pidip from 0.12.9 to 0.12.12 and hitting this autoconf error: [bsack@blini pidip-0.12.12]$ autoconf Can't locate object method "path" via package "Autom4te::Request" at /usr/bin/autom4te line 81. is this a problem with my version of autoconf? [bsack@blini pidip-0.12.12]$ autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57 (from RH9 on an i386, by the way) i've gone over my pre-autoconf changes to configure.ac, and i think they're all kosher. anybody have a clue? many thanks, bill -- _________ Bill Sack wsack(a)acsu.buffalo.edu ----------------------

hello I'm really sorry to post this again, but I don't know if anyone got the message because I didn't receive it myself as usual ----- Message transféré de brevalju(a)etu.utc.fr ----- Date : Mon, 23 Feb 2004 19:00:54 +0100 De : brevalju(a)etu.utc.fr Adresse de retour :brevalju@etu.utc.fr Sujet : bonk~ and fretless electric bass À : pd-list(a)iem.at hello I'm working on some patches I will use during a live performance involving a fretless bass player I want to use the [bonk~] object with the bass, for detecting attacks To start with it, I kept the same [bonk~] configuration messages as the ones I used earlier for percussion : thresh 6 50 minvel 10 mask 4 0.7 debounce 0 Actually it works quite well, but I would like to know if some of you had an experience regarding the use of [bonk~] with a bass. Which parameters should I use ? The bassist plays very well, with a strong attack (a bit like Jaco Pastorius but without the chorus effect), and the bass is a Squire Jazz Bass on which the frets were removed Thank you very much for your help j -- ----- Fin du message transféré -----

named symbol

04 Mar '04

Hello, I'm probably missing something obvious but I don't seem to find a way of storing a named symbol. Is there something like a [value] object for symbols?
