midi problems on Ubuntu
by Carl Najafi 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

hi list, i just recently switched from xp to ubuntu and i'm having difficulties getting midi to work in pd. i've been struggling with it for a week, but i can't get it to work - at all. i had some general midi problems, but those were taken care of with fluidsynth, but when i run fluidsynth first the audio is blocked when i start pd, and vice versa. it would be very kind if someone with the knowledge or similar experiences could help me out here. i'm running pd-0.39-1 on (breezy) ubuntu and i have a (crappy) on-board soundcard. - Carl

I've had this one before myself. For some weird reason the Ubuntu folks decided it would be better not to load the alsa midi module by default. you have to do it manually by typing: sudo modprobe snd-seq other than that, you shouldn't have too many problems... you should also get jack working: connecting things audio and/or midi will be a breeze.

comport and bascom avr / ascii2any
by ian campbell 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi there... I have a problem with reading data from my avr uC in puredata on win2k. I am getting the ascii values of the numbers I am sending but not the actual numbers. What is the problem? What is the comport object expecting? I would rather not convert these values in pd, but I can't try this out because I can't find the external ascii2any as a windows dll.. does anyone have it? thank you for any help. ian c.

Second video card suggestions
by Patrick Pagano 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi i am hoping to get some suggestions for a second video card for my desktop mac it is an older mac 867 1.25GB RAM and is juuust fast enough for GEM stuff. It has two video outs one for a cinema display and one that is a VGA I already tried the VGA extractor dongle and it did not work, so i am hoping for some guidance on a cheap second video card that i can use for home stuff.

Re: [PD] nosferatu namespaces (was: zexy and Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC3.ap p)
by Burt 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

So, what solutions do I have for my problem? If I cannot put more than ten zexy externals to load at startup, do I need to just put zexy.pd_darwin back into my extras folder and load it? While creating objects neamed [Gem] or [pmpd] might work, [zexy] won't do anything until I have zexy.pd_darwin in my extras folder. This leads me to my last question: libraries and externals (like [z~]) can be loaded through the Startup script, while only libraries can be loaded with a [library] object being placed in a patch, right? I appreciate having all the zexy objects separated to keep the RAM usage down, but it seems to complicate things a bit. Unless anyone has a better solution, I'm just going to stick zexy.pd_darwin back in my extras folder and load that. sb On Nov 23, 2005, at 4:02 AM, IOhannes m zmoelnig wrote: Georg Holzmann wrote: Hallo! well, this would be useful, but whats the difference from [using zexy] to [zexy] - it also loads the lib because most libs implemented such a dummy object (or at least some) ? note that the library does not have to implement an object of the same name. e.g. there is no [Gem] object in Gem, but you still can load Gem by creating an object [Gem]: the creation will fail but Gem will be loaded. so you are correct, that using [using] just for library loading is a bit of an overhead (especially since people tend to externals instead of libraries) i think that the [using] object should automatically add (an optional) library-prefix to objects that cannot be found. imagine you have a patch that contains [using zexy] (how comes this discussion always concentrates on my libraries...) and [nop]. since pd cannot find a [nop] object anywhere in it's space, it would try to find [zexy/nop] which eventually is an abstraction ./extra/zexy/nop.pd and thus can be resolved and loaded. mfg.asd.r IOhannes oops, i see we are in the never ending namespace discussion again and thus change the subject accordingly

pd and (analog)-telephons
by moritz w. 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

eo list, i want to start a project with analog-telephons and pd. Has anyone some experiences with it? I think this way would be possible: telephon-->sip-adapter-->modem-->asterisk-->python-->py-->puredata.. ufff! but im neither experienced with asterisk nor with python, is there a easyer way to communicate (analog-)telephon-->pd?

OSC configuration - distance concert
by João Miguel Pais 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, we're three pd-ers (or ocasionally 2 pders and 1 maxer), and we're trying to set up osc to communicate while each of us is at home in his pijamas. (so far we've done it sucessfully in the direct way, hub+cables and manual setting of the ip for each) yesterday we were trying it, and the results were quite strange: - users A, B and C - A sent to B, but didn't receive nothing (wlan and lan) - B sent to nobody, received from A (lan) - C couldn't send or receive from neither (wlan and lan) - all (or C didn't?) could connect to themselves through OSC (connect x.y.z.k 1000) (with "send" I mean to be received. there were no error reports from dumpOSC) I find strange that either it should nothing work, or everything work. All systems are windows, and firewalls were either totally open or even shut down. I don't know if wlan/lan makes a difference, I guess not. does anyone has suggestions about this? The purpose would be all to connect to each other, and later to play a concert at a distance (and still in pijamas). Greetings, Joao PS: as yesterday, it isn't possible to search the list archives. -- Lugostr. 14 79100 Freiburg i. Br. Deutschland +49 (0)761 7074997 jmmmp(a)arcor.de

Pd as a VST instrument
by multiplicity1＠netscape.net 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

I've read that Pd can be used as a VST instrument. I've downloaded what I thought was necessary for this to work, but the directions seemed to be a little cloudy. Can anyone explain exactly what I should do to get Pd to work as a VST instrument? Thanks, D'Armous ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!

motex for osX + zexy 2 question
by João Miguel Pais 23 Nov '05

23 Nov '05

Hi, if anyone could help me fast with this it would be great: does anyone know how to get a motex.pd_darwin file? I've been searching, but could only find windows/linux binaries. I needed urgently (the concert is in one week) to use shuffle and polygate~ in osX.3. The worst part is that I am doing this for someone 6000Km afar who doesn't know pd, and I am a windowser, so it has to work without problems (a motex.pd_darwin file would be the perfect sollution, he already knows how to deal with that). About zexy: the patch in question is several months old, and still uses zexy 1.x, specifically matrix~. In this computer zexy 2 and iemmatrix are already installed. In the documentation it states that it is possible to use the "matrix~" external in Z2.0, it will behave like in the good old days. Is it really so? (for now I can't update to zexy 2 on my computer to test it) If not, can anyone post me a link to a zexy.pd_darwin 1.x? Is there something wrong with the search machine of the list archives? it doesn't matter what I write, the result comes always empty. even if I type "pd list". I use opera, but also with firefox does the same. thanks, Joao -- Lugostr. 14 79100 Freiburg i. Br. Deutschland +49 (0)761 7074997 jmmmp(a)arcor.de
