overall horrible performance in OS X
by bsoisoi 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hey guys, This has been rehashed again and again, but it's worth bringing up once more. I've attached an example patch "sample-test-01.pd" and it's dependencies. On my dual core 2.4ghz Macbook Pro (4gb ram, 10.5.1, pd extended 40.3-2007-12-07), I hit 21-27% cpu load On my work machine, a 1.8ghz single core P4 running windows XP, the cpu load is negligible (around 0-1%). I've seen this pattern before, and I anticipate Linux users will experience negligible CPU load as well with this example patch. This difference is pretty extreme, my notebook tests well on Geekbench and other benchmarks, but why is the performance so poor with Pd? I appreciate any insight you can give, ~bsoisoi

Foreground / Background handling dynamically
by jean-martin barbut 09 Feb '08

09 Feb '08

Hello, Here is the problem : I need to display a playback cursor and 2 loop end/start indicator over a waveform displayed in an array. For that I use 3 two pix wide canvas of the height of the array (250 px in my case). In order to move the cursor during playback I sync it to the [phasor~] I connected to the [tabread4~] to play the sound. (datas are transmitted to the cursors (canvas) via foo_rcv as shown on the help patch for the gui elements). It works perfectly, but when I load a new sound into the array : [openpanel] | [read -resize $1 fooArray( | [soundfiler] The array displaying the waveform goes foreground, so my nice loop indicators and the playback cursor go behind the waveform display... The only solution I found was to cut/paste the loop indicators + playback cursor. Not very userfriendly when you need to load a file on stage in front of a public... If anybody has an idea to solve this foreground/background problem or another idea to create those loop indicators and playback cursor... I already tried the idea to put [hsl] at array bottom or top but it is not very practical ! Thanks ! Jean-Martin

ngrid....?
by bryan eubanks 09 Feb '08

hello. I recently found [ngrid]. I'm an artist, not a programmer, and this tool seems like something I want to modify into my set up, but I can't find much about it except the source code in the cvs repository which I can't work with. I am hoping someone on here can inform me further, maybe someone who made it? thanks..

Hi all, Anyone got any advice on how to make sounds similar to the basses in this excerpt from Nightwalker - Rolling Through [NWR005]? http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org/files/temp/fartstep.ogg (80kB) Really stinky wet fart noises. Thanks, Claude -- http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org

Hi everyone, Marius and I got pdlua and luagl working on ppc and intel in OSX at Polytech today. pdlua is included in the latest extended builds since 0.40.3 made by hans-christoph steiner. Then you need some libraries from this site: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/lua/ Specifically luaglut 0.5 which is downloadable here: http://www.algonet.se/~afb/lua/luaglut-0.5.sit Put the following files from the luaglut-0.5.sit in the following location: Files: luagl luagl.bundle luagl.lua Put into: /sw/lib/lua/5.1/ have fun!

Filtering Midi Active Sensing

I need anything that can receive it so I can start some functions upon connecting a keyboard to pd. Are there any externals that can handle active sense in whatever way? Ingo Scherzinger

Re: [PD] [PD-dev] DesireData

just a side-note: Luke Iannini (pd) wrote: > entirely independent entities. You'll no more see DD files or logs or > anything from /desiredata/pd/src in /trunk/pd/src than you will see, "desiredata" is an equivalent of "pd", so in my nice little world, it would be /trunk/pd/src and /trunk/desiredata/src rather than /desiredata/pd/src (there is really no reason to have a "pd" subfolder in "desiredata") but this is just nitpicking. fgmasdr IOhannes
