Pd-extended and Windows Media Player Classic issue
by Thomas Mayer 01 May '07

01 May '07

Hello, I've made a small VJ utility with Gem and sent it to a friend, who has then installed Pd-extended on his Windows XP machine (Pd-0.39.2-extended-RC1-windowsxp-i386.exe). After doing that, he has problems with Windows Media Player Classic, that he uses with DivX, Xvid, RealAlternative and QuicktimeAlternative codecs. My guess is, that Pd-extended installs dll files that overwrite the previously installed codecs. Is this a known issue/bug and can he safely install the old codecs again? I'm guessing that, because Gem cannot read any movie file, and that seems to be the same problem with WMPC now. Thanks, Thomas -- "Prisons are needed only to provide the illusion that courts and police are effective. They're a kind of job insurance."

anatomy of a wav file header = insert key-bits
by gottlieb 01 May '07

01 May '07

Dear List, I am trying to create an algorithmic composition whereby pd could coalesce related wav files by reading key-byte information I would insert into the header. Does anyone have a good refernce on the anatomy of a wav file, especially the header? also can someone advise me how pd can be directed to read, let's say the 63 rd and 64th byte of a file? thank you Baruch -- Baruch Gottlieb Assistant Professor Graduate School of Communications and Arts Yonsei University 고틀립 조교수 연세대학교 영상대학원 Seoul, Korea c +82 10 9399 3035 h +82 2 333 2733 o +82 2 2123 6991 in Berlin c +49 176 6708 2543 h +49 30 2809 5116 http//www.vociferous.org

This one just does cc numbers, pd does support sysex as well though i think. www.soundonsound.com/sos/jul06/patches/SynthEditor.pd There are free editors for the dx7 online, my friend uses one with a TX7.

Use of toggle?
by Jared 01 May '07

01 May '07

I'm using PD to do sound filtering and analysis would like to have the live audio passed along only at certain points. That is, the output from adc~ will sometimes continue on to other patches and sometimes I want it to stop. I was hoping to use toggle, but misunderstood how it works as it seems to become toggled for *any* input, not just bangs. I was hoping it would stay untoggled, and not allow the input to be sent through the output. What I would like is to be able to have a toggle (or other patch) that, when on, allows the input stream to continue through and, when off, does not pass anything through its output. I feel like this should be a simple task, but I've been struggling and I'm still not sure how to do it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! -Jared

that has to do with libquicktime, use the one that is included with Sevvys stuff. the fink one is the problem. the only codec that works is Motion Jpeg pp ---- nosehair911(a)bellsouth.net wrote: > I am getting the unsupported codec errors too with every codec I've tried.

comport and bluetooth
by marius schebella 01 May '07

01 May '07

another thing I found out today is, that comport does not like the bluetooth turned on (macos 10.4.9). when I have bluetoth running (icon in the menubar...) comport and crashes - that means the patch freezes and has to be killed. for example when you want to print the devices... that happened with 0.39.2 and 0.40.2. marius.

RRADical users: Memento changes
by Frank Barknecht 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hi, I checked in some changes to Memento into CVS: * removed all prepend from cyclone and instead use [prepent] which is just [list prepend]-[list trim]. prepent is included in Memento now * replace OSCprepend with a Miller Vanilla version (included as well, taken from [list]-abs) * added [list] to commun's outlet to get automatic type conversions. commun now will output proper list-messages. This shouldn't but it may result in subtle bugs with older patches! * some additional features to careGUI, but a careGUI2 is in the works. Memento now doesn't need any externals besides [pool] and [OSCroute] anymore. TODO: * Luke, I didn't forget about your svxdir changes, they will follow soon. * Parameter-space feedback as discussed with Ben Bogart isn't forgotten, too. * But first a cleanup of the ugly patchcord mess is necessary to comply with the "footils.org readability dogma 2.0" Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__

memory leak in pd gui?
by John Harrison 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

I am running Pd 0.39-2 on ubuntu Dapper. It seems as though if I leave Pd running for more than several days, the entire computer freezes or becomes sluggish to the point of being unusable. I can hear the disk thrashing like crazy. By setting up a cron job writing ps -auxw to a new time-stamped file in a directory every 5 minutes, I can clearly see by looking at these files that the problem is that Pd slowly but surely eats all the memory resources of the machine. If I run the same patch with the nogui option, the problem disappears. The thing is, I need to run this patch indefinitely *and* I need the gui. Am I seeing a memory leak in the gui and is this a known problem? -John

Writing OSC applications in XUL
by Stephen Sinclair 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

Hello, I've created an XPCOM component that wraps LibLo, allowing you to communicate via OSC with JavaScript. It's sort of raw right now, and hasn't yet been ported to Windows or OS X, but doing so shouldn't be too hard. I really don't have time to work on it right now, so I thought I may as well upload it and make it available to other people who might be interested instead of allowing it to accumulate mold in my subversion repository. http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~sinclair/content/blog:communication_between_xul… Anyways, this should allow people to use their SVG/HTML web-design-fu to create nice interfaces to audio applications, PureData patches, among other things. If anyone's interested in improving it, please feel free to send me patches or even to fork it. Steve
