trigger: [t b 1 2]
by Damian Stewart 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

hey, i find myself often repeating a construct like this: [t b a] | | [1 ( ... | now, the last time i was using Max, i noticed that Max's trigger object allows you to go [t 1 a] and the left outlet will send out the number 1. or even: [t reset a] and the left outlet sends out the message 'reset'. this seems to me like an extremely handy feature, so if it gets the blessings of the list(s) i'd like to go and implement it and submit a patch. what do folks think of this? i know there was some discussion a year or two ago, talking about how you should only be using the 'bang' and 'anything' keywords with trigger and not using it as a type-bashing object. not sure what came of that though... chur d -- damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz

Chicago PD Event on Nov 21, 6pm
by Mike McGonagle 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

This is not my event, but I was told it is open to the public. "Hey y'all - it's time to organize the next Open-node meeting/PD workshop. At our last meeting we agreed it would be Nov 21, at 6pm. I can provide the space at UIC's Design Visualization Lab (DVL) and give a PD/GEM intro and maybe demo realtime PD/arduino programming (if there is interest/time). I believe Ben Carney said he could follow up on his intro to PD sound. I need a sense of how many people would be coming.

Re: [PD] using a constant without bang
by Mike McGonagle 21 Nov '08

Jurgen, Instead of having to close and reopen the patch, why not just try sending a loadbang message to the window containing the abstraction? Whatever the name of the parent patch window, you can try something like this... you probably already have the first two steps, just putting them in here for clarification. 1. Create your abstraction 2. Create the patch containing the abstraction 3. Send a loadbang message, under the file menu, select 'message...', and type in this... 'pd-{patch-window-name.pd} loadbang;' Obviously, you will change the {patch-window-name.pd} to whatever the name of the window. As Pd has a global name space containing all these windows, you will need to precede the patch window name with 'pd-'. This should inturn send a 'loadbang' message to all abstractions in the patch.

iChat / SMS -> PD
by mark edward grimm 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hello, Might there be a method for sending iChat/SMS messages to pd? I see some experiments but nothing is clear. iChat can send and receive SMS so I would just use it as my gateway to PD. I saw a post on Jabber->PD which seems to be a solution but I have been unable to locate the original thread or example patch... Thanks mark

hi list, specifically persons in nyc.. I noticed that some old postings exist about patching circles and was curious if we could arrange another such meeting. I know of a gallery we could use in Brooklyn, or perhaps Hans wants to host it again? cheers, bryan

GEM - pix_record missing in Gem binary for ubuntu 8.04?
by John Harrison 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

I'm in ubuntu 8.04 64 bit and there seems to be no pix_record (couldn't create and no other error message) nor is there a pix_record help file. It appears to be missing? If I build from source would it work or is it missing for a reason? -- John Harrison http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~harrison

using a constant without bang
by Lao Yu 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hi, I want to store a value and use it as a constant - I mean, the value is permanently "broadcasting" without the need of a bang (which 'float' needs). Is there a way? Thanks for a hint Jurgen

Building Pd from Source on the Mac...
by Mike McGonagle 21 Nov '08

21 Nov '08

Hans (or anyone else who might know), I was wondering if you or anyone has ever documented the gyrations that are required to compile Pd from the source? Not really sure why I would want to actually do this, but with all the time on my hands now, I have been thinking about learning about that... Once I understand what it takes, that will let me know if I actually want to try. Thanks, Mike -- Peace may sound simple—one beautiful word— but it requires everything we have, every quality, every strength, every dream, every high ideal. —Yehudi Menuhin (1916–1999), musician
