streamin/out~ and mp3streamin/out~
by John Harrison 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

I am wanting to send audio from one location to another on the 'net. I don't want to count on large bandwidth. My guess is that streamin/out~ sends audio uncompressed and mp3streamin/out~ sends it compressed as an mp3. However I can find no documentation for either so I am guessing only by the names. Also I can find no help patch for mp3streamin/out~. Also...does anybody know where these externals are on the Sourceforge CVS or how I can search for them there? (I am assuming this is the best place to find the latest source code for these). The CVS web browser on sourceforge is slow to the point of nonfunctional today... Thanks, -John

send and receive broken?
by Conor J Curran 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Hi folks, I made this patch a while back replicating the functionality of a channel strip with some stereo aux sends etc. I was using a number of send~ and receive~ tuples to maintain the signal flow between the buses. Right now the send and receive appear not to be working. Some of the couples do work but many of the subpatch to subpatch or subpatch to top level patch won't respond. I have tested it and it is definitely something wrong with my send~ and receive~. Does anyone have any idea as to why this would be happening. And secondly should I be using send and receive or is there something more efficient that I should be using. Best regards, Conor

Re: some macro ideas

for the "bundling all the abstractions into one package thing" (one of my wishes, after my friends patch grew from 24k to 1.5megs & stopped working for me due to missing abstractions). i wonder if it would be enough to have pd able to read/write tar files, with the responsibility for debugging placed on the creator of the patch (possibly with some kind of terminal output or tool that says... this aint working... which pd does already, though it could have hints in the output or a hint mode that says... try moving all abstractions to one folder first. some kind of dependancy finding script could run first) & i suppose for the emacs jockeys some kind of mode that explodes the tar back into individual .pd's again ___________________________________________________________ The all-new Yahoo!

Using custom analog devices with PD
by PSPunch 04 Oct '06

04 Oct '06

Hi all, I know many of you integrate analog circuitry and custom made gadgets with the PD domain, perhaps heat or pressure sensors. I was wondering if there was an orthodox method of hooking these up to a system running PD. Is there such a thing as a 1-chip "voltage to RS-232C converter" or anything of a similar kind ? -- David Shimamoto shima(a)pspunch.com

Question about Data Structures and passing pointers around...
by Mike McGonagle 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hello all, I have found that when sending messages, it is far more efficient to pass pointers to data structures, rather than passing a list of all the parameters in the data structure. But, it also seems that I need to append a new data structure to a canvas that is used to store this instance data. Because I am working with granular synthesis, I am generating a lot of data, and a lot of elements in the canvas data structure. While so far, in playing with what I have done, I have not really run into any problems with running out of memory to store all my instance data, I was just curious is there are any concerns revolving around creating a lot of instance data within a canvas data structure. Is there a better way of doing this? Did this make any sense? Mike -- Help the Environment, Plant a Bush back in Texas!

hi, sorry for my bothering, I really don't know, what I am doing wrong. I simply copied the array example from the help-files, changed some names and for any reason the array in my data-field is not drawn correctly anymore :( I expected it to look about the same as in the example patch, but is is simply a line, and I also cannot draw the elements. maybe someone can help me, because I do not see, what I am doing wrong - I am sure, it is only a stupid mistake... thanks! marius. #N struct template6 float id float IP1 float IP2 float nix array times1 template6-element; #N struct template6-element float t; #N canvas 350 165 450 300 10; #X text -15 325 unterscheide struktur und inhalt!; #X text -15 343 Inhalt ist im data subpatch; #X text -15 363 Struktur in template1 und page elements; #X text 32 444 jedesmal append...?; #N canvas 0 0 956 300 data6 0; #X scalar template6 50 150 30 9 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 3 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 7 \; -30 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 43 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; 0 \; \;; #X restore 83 140 pd data6; #N canvas 435 84 589 429 stuff 0; #X obj 395 157 pointer; #X obj 136 102 t b b b; #X msg 136 61 bang; #X text 170 61 click here to re-initialize; #X msg 283 280 50; #X obj 137 23 loadbang; #X msg 134 140 50 150 30 9; #X obj 134 191 t b b p; #X floatatom 68 327 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 14 332 0 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 20 303 unpack; #X msg 12 258 3 5 \, 7 9 \, -30 10 \, 43 45; #X msg 395 134 traverse pd-data6 \, bang; #X msg 395 94 \; pd-data6 clear; #X obj 134 163 append template6 id IP1 IP2 nix; #X obj 284 307 setsize template6 times1; #X obj 68 350 element template6 times1; #X obj 14 376 set template6-element t; #X connect 0 0 14 4; #X connect 1 0 6 0; #X connect 1 1 12 0; #X connect 1 2 13 0; #X connect 2 0 1 0; #X connect 4 0 15 0; #X connect 5 0 2 0; #X connect 6 0 14 0; #X connect 7 0 11 0; #X connect 7 1 4 0; #X connect 7 2 15 1; #X connect 7 2 16 1; #X connect 8 0 16 0; #X connect 9 0 17 0; #X connect 10 0 9 0; #X connect 10 1 8 0; #X connect 11 0 10 0; #X connect 12 0 0 0; #X connect 14 0 7 0; #X connect 16 0 17 1; #X restore 275 129 pd stuff; #N canvas 182 49 577 300 template6 0; #X obj 37 45 struct template6 float id float IP1 float IP2 float nix array times1 template6-element; #X obj 38 118 plot times1 700 3 30 40 4; #X obj 36 89 filledpolygon 244 id 3 0 0 20 IP1 40 0; #X restore 83 171 pd template6; #N canvas 0 0 417 254 template6-element 0; #X obj 45 72 struct template6-element float t; #X restore 84 206 pd template6-element;

threads with -rt
by Davide Morelli 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

Hi list, I'm having the following problem: if i start pd with -rt flag and try to load a soundfile using [sndfiler] I get huge xruns. jackd is started with -R I noticed the same with a flext external I wrote, the second thread has a lower priority but it still too high if the main thread is started with -rt and if its CPU usatge is too high it can crash jackd what is the correct procedure to load a soundfile in a threaded xruns-free way? ciao, davide.
