acid
by Chris McCormick 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, Another question in a very general vein. I asked this on the Csound list a while back (when i was using csound) with good results. I'm trying to produce an acidy type sound (eg 303) and having trouble as my current saw-tooth-through-a-vcf just sounds pretty wimpy. Any ideas on how to fatten it up a bit? I'm not looking for a perfect reproduction of the 303 sound, just a nice acid sound. Hints? Tips? Is there some place where people post interesting Pd patches they've created for others to download at try out? Should there be? Regards, Chris. ______________________________________________________ Chris McCormick - Systems Developer - PerthWeb Pty Ltd Internet Solutions for your business!

window-switching on OSX?
by Damian Stewart 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

How do I switch between open windows on OSX using the keyboard? On PC I used to be able to Ctrl-Tab. The OSX equivalent of that is Apple-`, but it doesn't do anything; Apple-Tab on OSX switches applications, which doesn't help either. cheers D -- Damian Stewart +64 27 305 4107 f r e y live music with machines http://www.frey.co.nz http://www.myspace.com/freyed

and it's PR/Marketing, or those
by Adrian 23 Nov '08

I'm sorry for this more like OT, it's just my thought about improving PD and it's externals in another way. I'm struggling ... PD is one of the best tools for making people learn/experiment/perform/interact digital/electronic art at it's best. But where are the people that are PD's target. I'm trying to suggest that PD should try to follow a Popper-alike way of developing. Make it easy accessable for the people and use their input. Except if PD and it's externals are purely egoistic developments, which i don't think is the case ;) The more people you can involve the more feedback/developer/help you get in improving. I'm sorry for saying such things, as it is something that is an actual idea of most of the people here, i'm not trying to sell you for stupid. Maybe i'm just frustrated about my own lack of skill. I was fascinated about projects like pdp, gridflow and especially desiredata. But installing them is a hell for me as a OS X user, and the least i wanna do is search/install for all the necessary things. Now just some suggestions (excuse me for being rude): - Vastly improvement of the webcommunity, very important: Except for a very good maillinglist there is no real source for a community for pd on the net. The forum at hurleur.com is a joke, and that the official site is deadland is just sad. Furthermore the site needs to be ordered and probably hardly overworked, there is nothing wrong in making it accesible to as many people as possible by runnig it in plone, but is it nessecary? The people accesing the site now will probably not need that the site is universible compatible with every last browser on this earth and history, etc. - Improvement in usability of PD & e(xternals): Projects like the installers of iOhannes and desiredata are genial! All externals should follow a path where they can make themself accesible to the public with ease. It must be very frustrating to put lot's of effort and time into something and then nobody wants it. - And last, the documentation: Order, Unifying, Improve Please don't kill me for this mail. Lately i had a message in a Fortune-Cookie saying that "i have a reputation for being very straight forward and honest", i agree and want to follow that path. This mail is not meant to flame or criticize, especially not the developers. I bow down in front of the huge effort all of you put into PD & e. I just think the way of opening and easy accessing the public is the best way in proving that PD is the best and drive it's development. yours, adrian -- another incomplete website: http://conficere.ch/pds

I'd like to help, but I am not going to have time. I'll be on tour starting Sat. for two months. Any flext people want to try to get flext builds in Pd-extended? There could also be a Pd-devel-extended without too much work. Jamie had talked about it in the past. .hc On Apr 11, 2006, at 5:24 AM, Thomas Grill wrote: > > Am 11.04.2006 um 00:52 schrieb Hans-Christoph Steiner: > >> >> All are fresh downloads of the binaries from your site.

rfcomm and comport device list
by gordo 17 Jan '08

17 Jan '08

hi all, iÅ½m running pd 0.39-1 on 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 and reading data from an incoming bluetooth device via bluezÅ½s rfcomm. after connecting: # rfcomm connect 1 Connected /dev/rfcomm1 to 10:00:E8:52:32:CE on channel 1 i can do: # cat /dev/rfcomm1 which cats all my incoming data correctly, but if iÅ½m printing device-list with comport-object, it pathetically outputs: [comport]: available serial ports: 0 /dev/ttyS0 thanks for any advice/hint /g btw. stupid newbie question: how can i access /dev/tty without starting pd as root?

Granular Cross-fader
by Kyle Klipowicz 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello listers~ There's been a void of conversation on the list, so I thought I'd pitch my latest idea for a Pd tool: a granular cross-fader. I'm in the pre-planning phase right now, and would love to get some ideas/suggestions for how to implement this. Basically what I'd like to have is similar to a DJ cross fader, but using granular methods to stochastically mix two (or more) signals using various common granular ideas (pitch shifting, time stretching, grain size, randomness parameters, overlap, etc.). This would make transitions much more exciting from a DJ end as well as when mixing two or more signals on a DAW. What are your immediate thoughts/reactions to this? ~Kyle -- http://theradioproject.com http://perhapsidid.blogspot.com (((())))(()()((((((((()())))()(((((((())()()())()))) (())))))(()))))))))))))(((((((((((()()))))))))((()))) ))(((((((((((())))())))))))))))))))__________ _____())))))(((((((((((((()))))))))))_______ ((((((())))))))))))((((((((000)))oOOOOOO

GEM to SVG/EPS/PDF
by timon 23 Sep '07

Hi, I came across this, GL2PS: an OpenGL to PostScript printing library. If it could be incorporated it would make a great addition to the Gem. Dont know anything on how to build PD objects though (sorry, sounds a bit arrogant). Anyway, if its of interest. http://www.geuz.org/gl2ps/ Timon

Bug in Pool?
by Luke Iannini (pd) 31 Aug '07

31 Aug '07

Hi Thomas (and list), I have run into what appears to be a limitation with [pool], namely that it crashes with something around ~780 characters loaded from a file as values in a key. I ran into this loading a particularly long list in Memento. I've attached a patch and a file from which to load to experience the crash. The file is just a little over the character count needed to crash it (it seems to be between 780 and 800?). It does not seem to be a function of the number of elements in the list, but rather the length of the text in those elements. Shorten a few of the values in the list and it loads right up. I'm also pretty sure this is a per-key limitation, as memento's lddir first loads files into /tmp before copying them into the proper key. I've used that with a file that was just under the crashing length and that worked fine (loaded into two keys). I have tested this on both my PPC Mac and my Intel Mac; maybe others can check it out too? (also to clarify, the problem occurs when loading data from a file; data of any length (that I've tried) makes it into the pool without issue, and saves without issue) Thanks! Luke
