RE: [PD] newbie ? - quantize controller data
by ba 04 Aug '04

take your range, say it's values 24-72. then normalize it to one (i don't know the proper terminology). what I mean is since the difference here is 48, you subtract 24 then divide by 48. so now you have decimal values from 0-1. now multiply by 4 and use [wrap] to subtract the decimal values. with a calculator you can combine the "divide by 48 then multiply by 4" steps by just dividing by twelve, but for simplicity that's the thought process behind it. so it might look like [ctlin] | [moses 65] <--- filters out values above your desired range | [- 24] <--- sets the start of the range to zero | [/ 12] <---combination of dividing by the size of the range | | and multiplying by the desired # of intervals (/ 48 then * 4 | | <-----(WIRE THIS FIRST) | [wrap] | / | / [-] | [change] | [bang( this might be overly complicated, because there might be an easier way to truncate decimal values, but you can try that. I pretty sure there is a control version of [wrap]. good luck -brendan >===== Original Message From Mark Casey <reedman(a)reedmaninteractive.com> ===== >Hello, > >I'm new to Pd.

Another solution to the two mentioned, is to use k_guile. Where the scheme script looks something like this: (pd-outlets 50) (pd-inlet 0 'any (lambda (a) (let ((n 0)) (for-each (lambda (c) (pd-outlet n (symbol c)) (set! n (1+ n))) (string->list (symbol->string a)))))) Just promoting my stuff. :) You can probably make a shorter solution with the pyext external. --

pd 0.37 devel audio in
by Matthew Nish-Lapidus 04 Aug '04

04 Aug '04

hey.. i'm testing out the devel branch for 0.37 and have run into a problem. audio in doesn't seem to work at all. and when i choose more than 2 in/out channels in the audio settings i get crazy noise. on the test audio/midi patch it shows input when there isn't any (with multiple channels only) has anybody else had a similar experience? specs: PD 0.37 devel OS X 10.3 /* Matt Nish-Lapidus www.ekran.org/mn-l matt(a)ekran.org // mattn-l(a)rogers.com "What's this fish doing in my ear?" */

prob bug, was:Re: Opening patch takes 100% CPU for several minutes
by Ian Smith-Heisters 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

I emailed the list saying that my patch was strangely taking up 100% CPU when it loads. I isolated what I'm pretty sure ;) is a bug into the attached patch, illustrated below. Click the bang, but be sure you're not in realtime or it'll freeze everything up solid. [O] | [prob] Apparently prob goes into an infinite loop or something if it gets a bang before any arguments #N canvas 92 232 450 300 10; #X obj 153 114 prob; #X obj 195 62 bng 15 250 50 0 empty empty empty 0 -6 0 8 -262144 -1 -1; #X connect 1 0 0 0;

newbie ? - quantize controller data
by Mark Casey 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Hello, I'm new to Pd. I play MIDI wind controller and Pd looks like just the ticket to realize my long standing performance goal. That is to take the single note data stream and seamlessly switch between lead and rhythm parts. The rhythm parts would be chords but not locked into parallel voicings. The processed MIDI data will trigger hardware synths. I'm on OS X 10.2.8, dual 450, midiman 2x2 interface, Pd version 0.37.0 Outputting chords based on MIDI note number is pretty straight forward thanks to Jim Aikin's transposer patch. Now I want to change voicings via continuous controller rather than the radio buttons currently used. The first attempt used moses to split the range into 4 zones but this bangs the transposer every time the controller changes. What I need is a single bang for the entire time the controller stays in a range - only sending a new bang when the controller passes a upper or lower threshold. Would you point me to a resource or perhaps offer suggestions for achieving this? Thanks for your help. Mark Casey

problems with tow
by Tim Blechmann 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

hi all, i've got some problems using tot ... it seems that tot is loosing messages. e.g. if i add several entries to a listbox with |tot .- insert end $1( and try to run a tcl/tk script to sort the entries the script won't run. i have to delay the message to invoke the script by a short time (100 ms) before it will run... i'm not shure where the problem is, either tot doesn't accept the message or the tcl/tk communication is too slow... it's on win32, devel_0_37 without the threaded gui patch... any hints? cheers .... tim -- NEU: WLAN-Router für 0,- EUR* - auch für DSL-Wechsler!

[Fwd: pd wishlist]

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: pd wishlist Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2004 13:49:12 +0200 From: Tatiana <tatiana(a)malagaoriental.com> To: Yves Degoyon <ydegoyon(a)free.fr> -=PD Graz Wish LIst=- - Scrolling on PD windows - Better than scrolling, a Photoshop-style hand would be great - Bigger sticky surface when placing a link. - Zoom on the patch. A "visor" for seeing it completely would be great - Search on PD windows (on the same patch, and on another patches) - Script to add library paths by searching the hard disk - Standards on externals placing on the machines - Easier documentation (HOWTO-style). - Keep the links between objects the machine doesn't have. When you open a patch with uninstalled objects, the links with other components are lost. When you install the missing objects, the patch is unusable. - The window for open pics/movs/sounds should be remembered differently if you have to open a video, a patch, etc... because is very difficult to change them allways... (you open a patch, them you open a sound, the you open an image... they always remember the last window) - Shortcuts for colors and resize of canvases by little arroxs on the corners of them. - The posibility of putting labels in all objects, symbols, externals, etc... with spaces and rich text (ñ-?-font face-etc) - Girly things (just kidding ;)

OS X performance
by Mirko Petrovich 02 Aug '04

02 Aug '04

Hi all, I'm a Linux user an I'm very happy with pd performance in my desktop (PIII 800MHz). Yesterday I tried pd 0.37-1 from Miller's site in a Powerbook G4 (1GHz). I compared the cpu usage with patch 08.convobros.pd and I saw a big difference. In the Linux system it uses about 0.1% and in the G4 about 20%. Why this big difference ? Should I use a G4 optimized pd or should I tweak the OSX system ? I tried some Gem patches too, and G4 performed a lot better (excepting the nVidia bug). Any hints ? The systems are : PIII 800MHz,512MB RAM,RedHat8, 2.4.21 with low latency patches, ALSA, es1371 Powerbook G4 1GHz,256MB RAM,OSX 10.3.4 Panther, built-in audio Thanks. -- Mirko Petrovich
