Re: Buffer Type Question
by Stefan Turner 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

I agree with the general design idea that pd should only provide the primitives so you do more useful stuff yourself. The only reason I think freezable delay lines should be implemented is because the data is already there in buffer, so copying it somewhere else is not too efficient, and not too pretty when you then need to use vd~s _and_ tabread4~s (or whatever). Freezing it should be free: you just need to _not_ increment read/write pointers and _not_ copy new data in. Incidentally I notice that when you switch~ off a subpatch with a delwrite~, the delread~ just outputs some random stuff (I don't know what it actually is, but it isn't anything that was in the delay line). As an alternative, couldn't a switch~ed off delay line just 'freeze'? I think this would be more 'correct' if nothing else. I promise this is the last time I mention this :). I just think, admittedly as a fairly new user who knows nothing about the inner workings, that there is too much emphasis on making new externals when perhaps the built-in stuff could be improved as well. It was just a suggestion in any case. Chris I think you might need to look at the t3 objects in IEMlib which go faster than control rate (sort of) if metro is getting you down. Also sample-and-hold (samphold~ I think) is quite good for doing control-type things at audio rate especially with a phasor~. Good luck and keep up the good work everyone!

Re: test tar package with readanysf~ dependencies for OSX

If anybody downloaded this file while I had it up there, please delete it straight away! Do not extract it! I very stupidly included a system dylib in the tar. My system is Panther 10.3.4, so extracting it would probably be ok if you have the same system version, but it will probably cause problems on any other system. That said, I take no responsibility if you tried this. I have removed the file. I'll try again without the system dylibs. (with only the dylibs for readanysf dependencies that you would otherwise have to download and compile if you built readanysf from scratch). If I have another go I'll give it a thorough test before I post it.

pd-list archives added to elists.resynthesize.com
by pd-list＠elists.resynthesize.com 31 Jul '04

31 Jul '04

Hi All, I've added the pd-list archives to the electronic music mailing list archive at http://elists.resynthesize.com. From reading the archives here I understand there was some frustration in not having an mbox file available. During the conversion, I had to create one, so it is available at http://elists.resynthesize.com/mbox/pd-list.mbox.gz. I won't be updating the mbox in the future, but I do have the php script used to generate the mbox files from the mailman/hypermail archives if anyone wants it. One problem was that there wasn't any threading info in the mailman archives, so many of the messages are not threaded. New messages that come in will show up threaded though. If anyone has any comments, suggestions, or know of any other mailing lists that should be archived, please let me know at btallent(a)gmail.com Thanks, Brandon ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.

get pacth window pos
by Lazzaro N. Ciccolella 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

Hi all, i learn that is very simple receive coord information from a canvas in a pd patch using "get_pos" command. I would want to know if is possible to retrivie (and also to set) the geomtry of a pd patch window. In other words I would want that the "my_abstractyon.pd" patch window was opened in a precise point of my monitor and would want to know (when it comes moved) its new position. Searching in the web I have found that it is only possible to control the visibility of "my_abstractyon.pd" with pd-my_abstractyon.pd vid 0/1 but nothing on its position Thanks -- Lazzaro

image help
by Lazzaro N. Ciccolella 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

Hi all, I found in my "/usr/lib/pd/extra" an object named "image" that works well for my attempts. I have used this object in this way: [image /root/logo.gif] Unfortunately, this object not seems to have a help patch. Someone can say if it is possible to change the file loaded inside on runtime whit some kind of mesage ? (apologize for basic question) -- Lazzaro

getting Pd to stay on top
by Iain Mott 30 Jul '04

30 Jul '04

Hello I have an installation on Win2K that runs a shortcut on startup to launch a Pd. I'm using the "key" object, so the staff running the exhibition can hit keys 0-9 to control the volume. Unfortunately, none of the Pd windows are highlighted after launching and "key" won't work till the mouse is clicked on the Pd window. The computer used for the installation has no monitor, and while I have maximised the main Pd window, I'd rather people didn't have to click blindly (or click at all for that matter) in order to enable volume adjustment. Is there an easy way to have my main Pd patch window (the one with "key") launch into a highlighted state on Win2K? Cheers, Iain _______ Iain Mott www.reverberant.com
