Pd-0.39.2-extended-test1 released for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 11 Apr '06

11 Apr '06

Ok, this time its an actual, usable build of Pd-0.39.2-extended: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html You may be used to getting "stable" releases from my page, but those are now where they should be: http://puredata.org/downloads These new builds are really test releases, so expect troubles. And please report them on this list, or even better, submit fixes! .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ There is no way to peace, peace is the way. -A.J.

I have mixed meters, and not all beats are quarter notes, so I'd have to experiment... I like VERY much that the beat lines cannot be accidentally selected while selecting notes. Still, I have tempo markers at irregular intervals in the score, and isolating them involves more skipping (of notes) than isolating the notes does. Neither notes nor tempo markers could be put in an array, because both can be added at any time and have to be sorted according to X before being played back. Actually, playback works fine; it is when the patch steps through the score all at once, to transpose all notes, that I run into overflow errors. I'll try deleting all the beat lines and see if it works that way, and if so then your solution might work. -Chuckk

Pd's wikipedia page
by david golightly 04 Apr '06

04 Apr '06

Hey list, I found myself on Wikipedia today inspecting "our" site for Pd. I made some changes, added some info and uploaded a screenshot of a patch I happened to have open at the time. The screenshot before was really pointless, didn't really do anything at all. Not to be too self-conscious, but the Max wikipedia page has an Autechre patch up... so I'm inviting anyone out there to put up a better screenshot than the one I did. I'm sure there's more impressive(-looking) stuff out there, and as we know (from Autechre), it's all about how impressive your patches look, not what they sound like. ;0 I know that Wikipedia also has capability to upload PD (as in Public Domain) sound samples up, though it's hard to know where to start with Pd. Also, is there anything like a list of actual performing artists who use Pd either live or in studio? I'm sure several on this list are worthy of mention... The page could use a little expanding as well. I put back the contended assertion that Pd is (like Max) a dataflow programming language, maybe better to say "based on the principles of dataflow programming" or something like that. Tear it apart. Please. Just put it back together. Best, David

Synths! (Please Read)
by Renato Fabbri 03 Apr '06

03 Apr '06

Hi, We are making a very light distro for multimedia and programing that can run on obsolete computers here in Brazil. This is very important for public schools and general brazilian. We are not even going to put some synths like Zynaddbubfx. But PD is there!!! So we would apreciatte some synth/sampler/sequencer patches you like/use/Å½ve made on PD. IÅ½ll see how we can put some credits about the developers, and we wonÅ½t put them on the distro without the developerÅ½s permission. thank you all, ref __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

can't use Pd-extended externals
by Rich E 01 Apr '06

01 Apr '06

Could anyone help me get the linux Pd-extended examples working? I have both 38.4-RC8 and 39.2-test1 running, but with the same problem: none of the externals in the example patches are found. I can use the externals in pd/extra/ but most of the externals that are in subdirectories are not locatable within Pd. Everything installs smoothly...and there doesn't seem to be any libraries that need to be loaded.. I'm stuck. Thanks for any help, Richie

csoundapi~ issues
by Chuckk Hubbard 31 Mar '06

31 Mar '06

I have the dll in my Extra folder, and Pd will load the help-csapi_demo.pd patch. But it says "csoundapi~ warning: could not compile," and if I turn dsp on, it tells me "csoundapi~ warning: orchestra not compiled." Anything else I should have in there besides the dll, the patch, and the csd file? Thanks. -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"
