Midi Loop Recorder Thing
by Frank Barknecht 04 Oct '05

04 Oct '05

Hi, attached is a little midi loop recorder and player using data structures I started while on vacation in Graz. Main patch is ds-sequencer.pd. It uses fluid~ as a midi note player for my convenience, but of course it can also play to external midi gear, other softsynths or your custom Pd patches (however then you need to take care of polyphony yourself). Recording is done through [notein] so you should have a midi keyboard to get the most fun out of it. The basic idea is to record midi notes into an 8 second time slice which is played over and over. For orientation a straight quarter note bass drum can be inserted in advance. The recorded notes are quantized to settable beat divisions. Except fluid~ - which can be replaced of course - no externals are used. Have fun. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__

URGENT! Gem CVS messing up textures on ATI machine
by B. Bogart 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Hey all, I'm in the thick of installing my art project and am trying to get my patch to work on the linux machine provided from artengine. It is a sarge semperon machine with an accelerated ATI 9600. Problem is I can't get pix_image, pix_multiimage or even pix_video to texture properly. The image seems to be both cropped and stretched to the point of abstraction. the Gem help patches do not work... Attached is a visual illustration, loaded the TEMP2.jpg file here. So I really need this to work, what is going on what do I need to do? I will have to resort to buying a nvidia card, since I suspect it is the graphics card causing this problem. Please reply ASAP as I'm running fast out of time to get this to work. b.

[msgfile]-bug?
by Roman Haefeli 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

hi IOhannes, hi list my intention was to build a little helper that writes a list (not 'list'-datatype) of symbols into a textfile, so that in case of a pd-crash, the main-patch can restore the state before pd crashed. ironically, this helper causes pd to crash. i couldn't find a loop or similar. so i assume, it is an issue with zexy's [msgfile]and its [write(-to-file feature . i tried it on win / pd-0.39.0 and linux / pd-0.39.0 and on both pd crashed. see attached patch. to intentionally make pd crash, just add a few symbols and remove a few. after 7-10 actions or so, pd crashes. lg roman

gem2pdp builds but won't load
by Brad Kligerman 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

I built the gem2pdp, pdp2gem externals from a very recent CVS without any problems. But, when I try to load the libraries, I get the following message in the pd console=> ""/usr/lib/pd/extra/pix_2pdp.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/pix_2pdp.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN9CPPExtern10m_holdnameE pix_2pdp: can't load library /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp2gem.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/pdp2gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN11imageStruct8fromYV12EPs pdp2gem: can't load library /usr/lib/pd/extra/gem2pdp.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/gem2pdp.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN9CPPExtern10m_holdnameE gem2pdp: can't load library /usr/lib/pd/extra/gem2pdp.pd_linux: /usr/lib/pd/extra/gem2pdp.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN9CPPExtern10m_holdnameE"" The gem2pdp.pd_linux file is in the path (/usr/lib/pd/extra). When I try the same thing with version-0.5 of gem2pdp & pdp2gem, it loads fine. The problem is that with the older version, pdp2gem doesn't seem to work correctly, and that's what I need... Any ideas why I can't load this?? Thanks. Brad.

OSC to SuperCollider
by Paul Crabbe 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

Hello as I'm a new user of PD, I hope I didn't miss something obvious: I use the compiled OSX version 0.39.0 (on Tiger) I'm trying to connect SuperCollider and SC with OSC . It actually works OK from SC to PD. (dumpOSC receives data from SC) so I suppose the OSC objects are valid. The problem is that I can't send anything from the sendOSC object, even if I try to communicate from PD to PD e.g. the two help files 'sendOSC' and 'dumpOSC' are opened: I send the 'connect localhost 9999' message to the sendOSC object, then I try one of the send messages in the helpfile ('send / test/bla 1 2 3') -> I always get the error message : "SendData::SendHTMSocket() failure -- not connected" Where should I look for? Thanks! Paul

[soundfiler] normalizing max amplitude inf to 1 ?
by Enrique Erne 03 Oct '05

03 Oct '05

hi list I'm building a normalizer for two channel wav-files , which are recorded with [writesf~ 2] -bytes 2 . I've tried two files ( 36.4MB & 95.3MB ) 36.4MB 9.54e+06 samples /Users/pd/Desktop/normalized.wav: biggest amplitude = 1.000000 the first file seems to be normalized as expected with increased volume . 95.3MB 2.49e+07 samples /Users/pd/Desktop/normalized.wav: normalizing max amplitude inf to 1 I had 95.3MB of silence after normalizing . 'normalizing max amplitude inf to 1' what does inf mean ? I can't imagine why it's just silence . just read and write the same file with soundfiler is not a problem at all . as there are long [repeat] cycles , it may need a little time to finish each step . after each of the 4 steps is a print to see when it's done . use a cpu-monitor while waiting :-) thanks in advance e

dyn~ on OS X... again
by Pall Thayer 02 Oct '05

02 Oct '05

OK, so no-one's answering so here we go again. I'm using Hans' Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC2.app and having problems with dyn~. Everytime I try to use dyn~ PD crashes, disappears, get's wiped off the face of the earth and I want to know if anyone knows why and what to do about it because I really want to be able to use dyn~. I'm running Tiger, if that makes any difference. In an attempt to get some more info I tried running PD from the terminal and here's the output I got after the crash (It crashes every time): pallimac:/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC2.app/Contents/Resources/ bin palli$ ./pd PDP: version 0.12.1 dyld: NSLinkModule() error dyld: Library not loaded: @executable_path/../extra/lib/libflext- pd.dylib Referenced from: ../extra/dyn~.pd_darwin Reason: image not found pd_gui: pd process exited Trace/BPT trap OK, so this tells me something. It looks like it's trying to locate / extra/lib/libflext-pd.dylib which doesn't exist. Is it available somewhere? Where? Pall -- Pall Thayer palli(a)pallit.lhi.is http://www.this.is/pallit

While I am on the pd list and read it daily. I have some weird thing with my email where it gets bounced every time I try to post something. Oh well. Is this information you need? The HUB will be in the Netherlands and Germany this November. You might know this already, but we will be at Club Paradox in Tilburg on Nov, 16, for example. Two of us, Phil Stone and myself, are running PD. He is in windows and I am running it on Mac OS X, but we are sharing the OSCgroups patches that we worked out. sCot On Sep 27, 2005, at 1:54 AM, derek holzer wrote: > Hi Urs, > > Urs Liska wrote: >> I would like to simplify the process of connecting two patches by >> sending the second patch the IP address of the first patch. > > Some folks from "The Hub", along with Ross Bencina of "AudioMulch" > fame, have been working on an OSC system for collaborative > performances involving a server-app which handles the routing for you. > IP addresses are replaced with simple IDs, and it looks fairly > plug-and-play.
