compiling maxlib, nchange & change
by Tim Blechmann 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

hi olaf, hi list, first: olaf, i had to add -DPD_0_37 to the linux CFLAGS to compile the current cvs on my machine (netclient.c failed) ... would it be possible that you change the header structure of the source or add it to your makefiles (i don't want to mess with your code) second: i was looking for the nchange object, that works like a change, but also for symbols & lists... what do you think of changing pd's internal change to work not only on floats but also on pd's other data types? if i'm not the only one missing this feature as a core feature, i could try to add it to the cvs... good night... -- Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"

DSP on/off controlled by abstraction
by Lex Ein 02 Jun '04

02 Jun '04

How can I get abstraction-based DSP enable/disable to work reliably? Systems: Win2K Pd 0.37.1, Hans package. AmdK6/2 350 192Mb RAM, also P1 MMX/233 128Mb When stopping and starting dsp based on a [metro], this console error message occurs after the 2nd stop/start cycle: "waveInAddBuffer: Cannot perform this operation while media data is still playing. Reset the device, or wait until the data is finished playing." The [delay n] time doesn't seem to matter. With [delay 1000] the error occurs the 2nd time dsp is turned on, and each time from then on. With [delay 2000] it occurs at about the 6th time, and so on. I can stop and start using the "compute audio" checkbox as fast and as frequently as I like; never a problem. Same is true with [; pd dsp $1] messages, when performed manually. L

just wanted to mention it: there is the 10.3.4 update out there and PD/GEM seems to run with no difference on it in case somebody wonders. m.

File Management
by Zachris Trolin 01 Jun '04

Can anybody point me in the right direction. Im looking for something(1) in pd than lets me load a whole directory or multiple directories containing soundfiles, into something(2) that lets me choose any one file randomly and just play it back. /thanks z -- Zachris Trolin <z(a)hidekultur.com>

matrix/array question
by folio.function.modification.implement＠xoxy.net 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

I have a question about how to use the matrix objects, I can print outputs and understand the basic maths like in the help patch but I am not sure what I would actually use a matrix for with audio. Could someone give a link to show me a good use of the matrix objects. I would also like to know if there is a simple way to dump the matrix values into an array. One other question, I'm using the compiled OSX version of Pd and when I use the Pd.command the terminal window scrolls at a line per second even if there are no messages from Pd, how can I stop this?

Re: [PD] Using Compare with pix_video

With this I use [pix_2grey] for such things, as it will stay in the current colourspace and just lose the colour-information -> less processing power than converting to greyscale and then converting back to rgba >> 3. if you get a warning "image is not a power-of-2" when loading, you >> can safely ignore it > Maybe it's time to remove it? actually it has been removed a time ago. probably you are using an old version of Gem ? try getting release 0.90 from http://gem.iem.at (of if you prefer from sourceforge) there is no windows-installer (yet); but you could just get the gem-bin and replace the existing Gem.dll by the one that is in the zip-file... mfg.a.sdr IOhannes

send/receive vs. connection
by Tim Blechmann 01 Jun '04

01 Jun '04

hi all, i'm curious about the expenses of a send/receive pair compared with a connection between two objects. i suppose a send/receive is a bit more expensive, but i'm not sure if there is some kind of hash-algorithm hidden somewhere... or is it more or less the same about as a direct connection? cheers... -- Tim mailto:TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 -- The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
