no focus for gemwin on os x 10.5
by marius schebella 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

hi, somehow gemwin does not take the focus anymore with the newest release of the highly praised OS X. when I click on it, it just stays in the back. I can't move it. also, topmost 1 does not work. anything else I can try? I am using gem 0.91 from cvs (oct 26). marius.

You feed it ticks from a [metro] to advance through the file and can jump to any tick in the file. It can also dump the file so you can find the tick number to go to. It doesn't know about seconds but you can tune the speed very finely. I have had it running in sync with the Hydrogen drum machine for hours at a time.

Phasor Driven Midi File Playback?
by saint 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, I've been trying to incorporate synched looped midi file playback into a system of tabread looping players. So far I've been using xeq but recently discovered seq in the cyclone library. I can kinda get xeq to work but it involves me cheating the tempo of the file playback, banging a sync point at the start of every audio loop and I'm getting quite confused with the different xeq objects (the documentation has been down for a number of years)... Is there a more graceful way of doing this like I do with the phasor/tabread audio? I see that seq has a 'goto' command with seconds and milliseconds, if I fed that with my audio phasor would the midi loops play in sync with the audio loops? Cheers, as always, for your time.

good ol' font size test for 0.41
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Has anyone tried testing the font sizes on 0.41 yet? I am reviving this good ol' font test patch to see how it's working. The [courier 10( box is a new size on Mac OS X (71x16) and it seems that the IEMGUI font and the Pd font are not the same size. On Mac OS X, a Pd font of 10pt matches the IEMGUI font of 12pt. .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- "It is convenient to imagine a power beyond us because that means we don't have to examine our own lives.", from "The Idols of Environmentalism", by Curtis White

lua questions
by marius schebella 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

hi, maybe this is related to the luagl version I am using, or this is some other problem, but glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, 1.0) or glScalef(2.0, 2.0, 2.0) give me an error attempt to call global 'glTranslatef' (a nil value). I call it a day, marius.

lost messages with netsend
by matteo sisti sette 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Hi, I use netsend and netreceive to send messages across 2 instances of pd on the same machine (localhost). I use the outlet of netsend to detect when netsend is connected, and when it is ([select 1]) I immediately send out some data through it. IN SOME CASES (no consistent behaviour detected), these data that are sent just after the connection is established, are simply LOST, i.e. they are not received at the other end, and netsend does NOT give the error "netsend: not connected". I cannot provide a test patch, since in any simple test this does not happen, but when I put the very very exact same thing into a bigger patch, this happens. Even a [delay 0] between detecting the active connection and sending the data does not fix the problem, while a [delay 500] for example does. In summary the problem is: Messages sent to a [netsend] immediately after the connection is established (after netsend has output a 1) may be lost, without issuing an error message. Has anyone experienced it? Any suggestion on how to systematically trigger it so as to produce a test patch to post to the bug tracker? The bug may even be in netreceive, not necessarily netsend. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com

Re: [PD] pd becomes unresponsive but does not eat cpu
by matteo sisti sette 11 Feb '08

11 Feb '08

Claude Heiland-Allen <claudiusmaximus(a)goto10.org>: > Some versions of Pd behave like this if you try to print certain > characters like '{'. You mean using [print] ? Is 0.40.1 one of those version? I don't think it's my case though. I'm printing plenty of things but I don't think there's any strange character in them. Indeed I was now trying to print a { to test it, and I don't even know how to do that (I can't type a { in a message box) so it's unlikely I have done it unintentionally.... However, what other character may cause this? Are there other [print] weirdnesses that can cause the problem apart from printing special characters? Thanks m. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com
