growing subpatches
by Chuckk Hubbard 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

I noticed this on my own patches occasionally but ignored it. Just now I opened a help patch and clicked on its subpatch a couple times, and noticed it growing quickly. Every time I open a subpatch, it gets a little bigger! ?? -Chuckk -- "It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters." -Friedrich Nietzsche, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

comport stream of data (an old favorite!)
by Nicholas Ward 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hi all, hope someone can help, Ive been trawling through the archives but am still quite stuck. I have a microcontroller sending the status of 9 sensors to pd via comport. So the data in z term looks like below 1C3 165 26E 2A7 2D8 255 2C4 2C7 27C 1BE 160 26F 2A6 2D7 254 2C5 2C7 275 1BB 15E 26C 2A5 2D7 252 2C5 2C7 27A 9 hex values separated with a space (ascii 32) and finishing with carriage return and line feed (ascii 13 10) In PD it looks something like 13 10 32 50 65 55 32 50 65 60 32 58 45 56 32 54 54 54 32 65 64 63 32 50 65 55 32 50 68 55 32 50 68 55 32 46 45 45 13 10 32 etc Can somebody please point me towards getting the stream of ascii values (38 values per line) converted into 9 decimal values. Ive been trying to filter out each line using [route 13] into [route 10] and also looking at repack and pack but to no avail. Ive come across a mention of any2ascii but couldnt find it compiled for os x. Many thanks Nicky

I just opened Pd-extended and placed an object and typed in "tot" and it said it couldn't create. I assume you guys meant tot is a library, then, but I don't know what objects it has and I can't find any references to it... BTW, is 0.38-4 considered stable? I have had lots of audio issues with 0.39-*, so I'm leery of changing versions this close to my final comp jury.

Actually, I got cyclone installed separately on my PC, and I was able to open up the Mac Pd-extended app and excise the objects I needed. I'm stubborn, but I'm going to start checking out just using Pd-extended. I guess I'm just afraid of my patches looking different in a different version... > > > The full cyclone is included in Pd-extended, including [active]. > > .hc > > On Thu, 16 Mar 2006, Chuckk Hubbard wrote: > > > Aww, I'm using Windows.

Recording MIDI results in notes of infinite duration
by Luke Iannini (pd) 21 Mar '06

21 Mar '06

Hallo All, I'm using Pd-ext. 0.39.2 test1 on OS 10.4.5. I have Pd connected to Cubase SX 3.1.1 using the IAC MIDI system of OSX. I'm having some trouble recording MIDI output as I'll describe below. As a distillation of the issue, I tested using midi-help.pd's "[Makenote] Apparatus". Routed into Cubase and hitting "Record", I should get Middle C notes at a velocity of 64 of a duration of 250ms spaced 500ms apart. Instead, upon the triggering of the first note, Cubase records a note starting at that point and continuing until the end of the defined length of the project. Any notes triggered afterwards are stacked upon this note, all starting at the exact same point. So if I recorded for 5s, instead of 10 notes each starting 500ms after one another (@0s, 0.5s, 1.0s, etc.) and ending 250ms later, I get 10 notes starting at 0s and ending at A Very Large Number. The oddest part is the triggering of Cubase seems fine... I /hear/ exactly what I'd expect to hear when allowing PD to trigger a VSTi through a Cubase MIDI track "live". It's only when trying to record that something goes very awry. Anyone have any clues on this? Thanks! Luke Iannini

Wow, thanks! This is great. I discovered [click( doesn't work on my version, but [mouse( does, with the same parameters. With this, and the commands to make windows visible or not visible, it would be possible to create an automatic copy/paste function (making PD click precisely on the scalars I want to copy), and a pop-up window for deciding where to paste them. Another thing I forgot to ask: Does anyone know if there is a way to sense which window is uppermost, or whether a particular window is visible? Thanks, Roman.

Is there a list of what messages a window can respond to? Is it possible to resize or scroll a window automatically? -Chuckk -- "It is not when truth is dirty, but when it is shallow, that the lover of knowledge is reluctant to step into its waters." -Friedrich Nietzsche, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra"

Any idea where I can find it? I have the hardest time finding any of these externals. Is there one site that has info on most of them? Due to the generic nature of the name "Pure Data," google searches tend to catch a lot of unrelated stuff. -Chuckk Subject: Re: [Pd] Mouse sensing To: pd-list(a)iem.at Message-ID: <20060314132824.GD6454(a)fliwatut.scifi> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Hallo, Chuckk Hubbard hat gesagt: // Chuckk Hubbard wrote: > Yeah, I'm using Windows.

[gem] bad quality in playing mjpeg avi
by Georg Holzmann 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Hallo! I encoded mjpeg avis with mencoder (lavc) for playing them in Gem. The strange thing is, that when I play those avis in e.g. vlc or mplayer they look really good ... when I play them in Gem with pix_video the quality is much more worse ... (you can see that the jpeg compression is really bad ...) Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be ? Do players like vlc, mplayer, ... use additional filters to give better results ?

Fortran-cross-C compiling
by Charles Henry 20 Mar '06

20 Mar '06

Yes, I'm pretty sure that's right, now. I had to change the Fortran code a little bit to make the array bounds explicit, and that cleared it up. Now there's some other error that's internal to the Fortran script, but that's just the way it goes....for every error fixed, another two rise to take its place Chuck
