pidip problem "configure error: screen captures requires Imagemagick library"
by Nicholas Ward 06 May '06

06 May '06

Hi, Im trying to compile pidip but on the ./configure Im getting checking for XWindowByProperty in -lmagick . . .no configure error: screen captures requires Imagemagick library!! This is on debian (kanotix distribution) I found a reference in the list archive but Im afraid its doubledutch to me as i have according to package manager imagemagick 7:6.2.4.5-0.8 installed. Any pointers on how to proceed would be really appreciated my configure looks like this if that matters. ./configure --with-pd=/home/nicky/pd39/pd-0.39.2 --with-pdp=/home/nicky/pdp/pdp-0.12.4/ PD and PDP were installed using apt-get install. holy moly this linux is a steep learning curve :) thanks Nicky

Serial abstraction "Schoenberg"
by David Powers 05 May '06

05 May '06

Hello, attached find my first version of "Schoenberg", a simple abstraction for doing serial permutations. One drawback is, it only does one process at once, though this could easily be solved with some feedback loop, or with multiple copies. Maybe in the future I could add the possibility to do more at once. I may also add an optional modulus of [n... default 12] on the output, so that if desired, the operations always are within 0->n range and transposition outside the abstract octave is reserved for a seperate round of processing. Anyway, I think it will be useful for me and maybe for somebody else... It would definitely be useful for teaching, as one could instantly get different permutations and demonstrate the sound of various serial operations. Coming soon: "Boulez", an abstraction to do serial multiplication on partitioned row segments. (I still have to think about how this should work in terms of correct inputs). PS. Why does PD always mangle the text comments I input? My carriage returns always disappear or are misplaced... This makes it IMPOSSIBLE to make nice reading help documentation (making me lean towards a pdf help file for the moment.) ~David

matching lists/arrays
by Tina Shah 05 May '06

05 May '06

hello list, i have a list of lists - floats/arrays (x y z) using datastructures. i'd like to compare incoming data of 3 floats with my list items (x1, y1, z1/x2, y2, z2, etc.). if it matches one of the list items, i'd like to perform an action specific to the list item it matches. i've been trying to start this with the select object but it's not accepting a list as an arguement, eventually i want to have all the list items as arguements to compare with. i've been trying to search for an answer reading through the archives but i'm getting quite confused. it seems pretty simple, just can't figure it out though... i'd appreciate any clues... i'm attaching something i've been trying with the element object help file, it might give a better idea... thanks! tina

array wierdness
by august 05 May '06

05 May '06

I'm experiencing some strange things with arrays. This seems like it would be noticed by now, so perhaps I am missunderstanding something. I just checked out a fresh CVS of pd. And, It seems to me that arrays are storing mysterious 0's for values that should be otherwise. for example, if you look at the help patch for [tabread] and step through the index of array99 I get values of "0" for indexes 1, 3, 5, 7, & 9 where the plot is showing that the values for those indexes are positive non-zero integers. attatched is also a test patch I made when trying to figure this out. any ideas? -august. -- ------------------- http://aug.ment.org

Re: [PD-announce] netpd session now!
by B. Bogart 05 May '06

05 May '06

Crapo, that is today I guess... Sorry about the survey, are you doing any more workshops, or was that it? I hope you can get at least some personal feedback from the students on the materials. Sorry I have not looked at the stuff yet either, I have two installations for my grant project May 18th, and May 22nd, in two different locations. I'm almost certainly not going to be able to do any PDDP stuff for the next two months, that is once I'm in Vancouver for July 1st. Good luck! I hope you record some of it. .b.

Hardware suggestions for museum installation
by Frank Ekeberg H. 04 May '06

04 May '06

I need to put together a computer system for a multimedia installation at a museum. The system needs to play back two simultaneous, full-screen, 60 minute video projections (video format not decided yet) with a four-channel, 60 minute sound track (source is 24-bit/48kHz). This piece will run continuously six days a week for four months. I am thinking pd could be up for the task. I have used pd for audio work, but never for video, so I need some advice - particularly hardware ideas for now, as I am building the computer from scratch. Can anyone advise on minimum CPU speed for this kind of playback. Will a dual-CPU system be an advantage when playing back several media streams simultaneously (if I need to run more than one instance of pd)? Perhaps harddrive speed (and number of harddrives) is more crucial? I have a dual-head Matrox G400 graphics card. Would this be capable of playing back two different full-screen videos? If not, any other suggestions? The system will be running Linux with only the minimum of necessary software to run the installation. Of practical reasons, the computer needs to be rack mounted. I am thinking a 4U cabinet to ensure air flow without too much noise. I will probably use a Delta 1010 sound card, since the breakout box can be easily rack mounted and it is well supported on Linux. Any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Frank Ekeberg

alsa and etch udev
by B. Bogart 04 May '06

04 May '06

Hey all, I've tried getting this resolved on the debian-user list, but I'm not really getting anywhere, so I'm trying here since I know a lot of you all run alsa and debian. So I was having some weird bugs with gnome, like nautalis crashing intermitently, and my stickies getting all screwed up, so I thought I would resolve that by installing the gnome-desktop-environment from etch. The good news is now gnome actually works as expected. The bad news is that both sound, and my bttv capture card are no longer working. Looks like gnome-desktop-environment wants gnome-volume-manager, which wants hal, which wants a newer udev. Alas it seems the newer udev is not working with my sound card or my bttv capture card. This is my guess anyhow. Note I did not change the kernel. First video: I used to have /dev/video0, /dev/video1, /dev/video2 The first two are my cx88xx cards, which work in linux, not in Gem. the third was my winTV bttv card (Thanks Chris K!). Now with udev 0.086-1 (it was version 0.056-3 before) /dev/video2 is missing. I'm trying to figure out how to create a udev rule for the bttv before I try and downgrade all my gnome stuff to sarge, which I think will cause other problems I don't expect. Sound (asla) Sound was working fine with OSS before, so when it did not work after the upgrade I thought I would try ALSA. So I installed alsa (apt-get install alsa-base alsa-utils) I run alsaconf: ALSA CONFIGURATOR version 1.0.10 OK Following card(s) are found on your system via82xx VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8233/A/8 OK Do you want to modify /etc/modprobe.d/sound (and /etc/modprobe.conf if present)? YES OK, sound driver is configured. bbogart@insitu:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/alsaconf Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: snd-seq-dummy snd-seq-oss snd-seq-midi snd-seq-midi-event snd-seq snd-via82xx snd-ac97-codec snd-pcm-oss snd-mixer-oss snd-pcm snd-timer snd-page-alloc snd-mpu401-uart snd-rawmidi snd-seq-device. Building card database... Running update-modules... Loading driver... Setting default volumes... Saving the mixer setup used for this in /var/lib/alsa/asound.state. /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found... =============================================================================== Now ALSA is ready to use. For adjustment of volumes, use your favorite mixer. Have a lot of fun! Note the "/usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1163: No soundcards found..." part. I can even run /dev/sndstat (or was that OSS and not ALSA?) bbogart@insitu:~$ cat /dev/sndstat Sound Driver:3.8.1a-980706 (ALSA v1.0.9b emulation code) Kernel: Linux insitu 2.6.13-ck5 #1 Thu Sep 22 10:31:48 EDT 2005 i686 Config options: 0 Installed drivers: Type 10: ALSA emulation Card config: VIA 8237 with ALC850 at 0xe800, irq 217 Audio devices: 0: VIA 8237 (DUPLEX) Synth devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Midi devices: NOT ENABLED IN CONFIG Timers: 7: system timer Mixers: 0: Realtek ALC850 rev 0 When I try and change the mixer volume I get: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device So what devices in /dev do I need to create udev rules for? Does anyone happen to have udev rules for 0.086-1 for my via82xx and/or bttv cards? Maybe I should email the udev (etch) maintainer...? Help! (Note the bttv part is more important in the short term, but I'd obviously like to get both sound and that working.) Thanks all, b.b...
