Can't open files. no files matched glob pattern "*"
by Ian Smith-Heisters 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

Hi all, I've ended up with a rather wierd error running Pd 0.38-2 from Miller's site. Compiled it last night, it worked fine, in the morning it started printing this to the terminal when I try to open a file: no files matched glob pattern "*" The window it then opens is blank, does not respond to mouse events, and has a title like "X83CDD80". If I do a file-> new *before* I open anything else it works fine, until I try to open something, then even file->new has the same result. Running it compiled with --enable-debug under gdb revealed only this message invalid command name ".x83ce1e0.m.windows" when I closed one of the windows. The compilation was with --enable-alsa and --enable-jack I'm on debian SID with tcl/tk 8.4.9-1. I compiled exactly the same release on another debian SID system with same tcl/tk version last night and that one works fine. So far all I've figured might help is recompiling and rebooting. Neither did. I tried it without my .pdrc to see if it was an external, and it had no change. Any suggestions? Thanks, Ian -- Ian Smith-Heisters http://www.0x09.com

p5 glove + pd + linux (success!)
by Jason Plumb 14 Feb '05

14 Feb '05

[sorry if this is a repost...I didn't see my initial message make it thru] I've managed to get the Essential Reality P5 glove interfaced with pure-data in Linux. The approach isn't exactly unique (separate app sending OSC messages to pd), but I'm not really aware of anybody else who's managed to get it working. I've put together a bit of a tutorial/guide and posted my code (p5osc application and demo patches) on my site. You can check it out at: http://www.noisybox.net/computers/p5glove/ It's pretty alpha stuff, but at least it's working. If you actually try any of this, please feel free to provide success/failure stories. Contributions/patches/etc are also welcome. Regards, -jason http://noisybox.net

PD keeps crashing
by robertgarvin＠bellsouth.net 13 Feb '05

13 Feb '05

Hello all. I am having a problem with one of my patches. It keeps crashing PD whenever I delete a certain part of it. I was trying to figure out how I could make the left and right arrow keys to control a slider, and I finally got it to work. the only problem is that there is a spigot function that is not needed, but whenever I try to delete it, windows jumps in and says: "pd.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I just ran some "tests" and if I disconnect the patch cables from the spigot, and then delete it, it wont crash. I'm not sure how I should attach the file, so if you would like to look at the file, please email me. Thanks, Robert G.

Hallo, amatheso(a)alcor.concordia.ca hat gesagt: // amatheso(a)alcor.concordia.ca wrote: > thanks for the input. Making the loopers into thier own seperate abstraction > is a great idea. I'm a little confused on making an arguement for the array > though. basically i just name the array $1-sample and use the same name in > the tabread4~ and the soundfiler message? Yes, exactly. And then you create the loopers like: [looper 123]. > this won't conflict if use it more than once in a patch? No, it won't, if you specify different arguments in every use of your abstraction like: [looper 1] [looper 2] [looper three] Another possibility would be to use the special variable "$0" instead. $0 gets replaced by a unique number for each instance of an abstraction. Example: Inside looper.pd you have this: [table $0-tab] ... [tabread4~ $0-tab] ... [print $0-tab] Then in the parent patch you create two [looper] objects without any arguments: [looper] ... [looper] In both looper abstractions Pd will now replace $0 internally with a (more or less random) unique number, lets say in the first one it will be 1000 and in the second one it's 1010 You then in fact have a structure like this: [table 1000-tab] ... [tabread4~ 1000-tab] ... [print 1000-tab] [table 1010-tab] ... [tabread4~ 1010-tab] ... [print 1010-tab] If you "bang" the print-objects, you can see the number that was chosen by Pd. The net effect is, that the [tabread4~ $0-tab] always will only read the table in its own patch/abstraction and not the other one. "$0-tab" also is called a "local variable" in this case, as it is "private" to the abstraction and not globally accessible from the outside (unless you use some special tricks). You can also use it in sends and receives: [s $0-x] ... [r $0-x] if you want to send only locally inside an abstraction. My patches practically only use $0-sends. Adding $0 has become such a habit, I really have to concentrate on *not* typing the "$0-" automatically if I indeed want a global send. ;) I would say, using $0 a lot is an example of "Pd Best Practices".

arrays not redrawing
by Ian Smith-Heisters 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

And yet another question for the hive mind... Array redrawing seems to be working sporadically for me under pd 0.38-2 (CVS stable_0_38 from last night) and pd .39. At first I thought it was just my patch, but then I was playing with Frank Barknecht's fantastic waveshaper patch and noticed that when I painted in an array the sound would indeed change, but the array display would not update. Opening the array would reveal the changes had been made, and when I closed it, the array redraws. Sometimes it still works, and I can't seem to pin down what makes it work and what doesn't. There are lines and lines of this: invalid command name ".x841a380.c" being printed to the terminal. Thanks for any thoughts. -Ian -- Ian Smith-Heisters http://www.0x09.com
