[hid] on linux
by jean-martin barbut 20 May '08

20 May '08

Hi, I'm trying to use [hid] tu retrieve joystick infos on a linux box (Ubuntu Studio 7.10) : no joystick recognition. On Mac, if I click on the "print" msg box, I have a list of all devices available. On linux clicking on "print" doesn't list anything. My joystick is installed properly because I can use it with the [pd_joystick] extra. Why dont I just use [pd_joystick] ? Because I need to use 2 joysticks and only the first one is recognized on [pd_joystick]... Other thing : if you forget to put the toggle box to off when you select another device number, pd-extended (0.39) just close (brutally...). Regards, Jean-Martin (esox)

soundfiler alternative - realtime? (loading in background)
by Ingo Scherzinger 19 May '08

19 May '08

Hi, does anybody know if there is an alternative method to soundfiler in order to load wave files into tables. Soundfiler is not realtime capable and I urgently need to load files in the background while playing audio and midi without interruption. Maybe an external? Any help is appreciated! Ingo

Another bug in [pool]?
by Luke Iannini (pd) 16 Mar '08

16 Mar '08

Hi all, I've been staring at this patch for a couple hours with no luck, so I'm ready to ask for help. I seem to be running into another bug in pool. What's happening is I'm setting a key with 3 floats. I then try to [get( that key, but can't. If I [printall(, I can see the key is in the [pool]. But it won't come out. Even stranger, I can compose a new [set {key} 123 123 123( message and send it to the same [pool], and instead of replacing the key, it appears alongside it. I can get the newly set key, but the old one remains in the [pool], inaccessible. Since the usual behavior of pool would be to overwrite the first key when a key of the same name is sent, I'm guessing I'm hitting a very obscure bug again. Here's the patch, I'll keep trying to isolate it further. Cheers Luke To repro: click "reset" at the top left, then click the [77 120( message, then [77 0( immediately after that. At that point, a message like , 777.868 , 77 120 539.864 will be in the pool $0notePool (click the [getall( message to confirm). Now, send a message [get 777.868( (or whatever the number is), and if you're anything like me, you'll see... nothing! Now, make a message [set 777.868 5 5 5( and send it to the pool, then click your [get 777.868( again. Out will pop 5, 5, 5, but if you click [getall( again you'll see , 777.868 , 5 5 5 , 777.868 , 77 120 539.864 You'll now notice a [pool] of tears.

Saving Gem output as video file on MacOSX ?
by Dudley Brooks 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

I just recently started working with Pd/Gem. I'm applying for a grant to combine it with my main art form (choreography). I need to send a DVD of my experiments. Is there a way to have Gem (or some accessory) save a Gem patch's output in some video file format? This would be preferable to outputting it from the computer to external video (which I also don't know how to do) because at the moment the only external video I can output to anyway is VHS. If there's no such thing in Gem/Pd, is there a way to do it in OSX 10.4? (I also only just started working with a Mac, so I have a lot to learn there, too.) Thanks.

Pduino and the AD5206 digital potentiometer
by nick burge 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Dear PD list. I would like to be able to control the AD5206 chip (a 6 channel digital potentiometer) from within the Pduino object written by Hans-Christoph Steiner. The idea comes from one of the tutorial exercises in the C++ arduino program. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/SPIDigitalPot Is this relatively simple to do, or simply impossible? The aim in the long run is to be able to be able to calibrate 6 force sensors remotely using the digital potentiometers for an art installation project. I have got the above mentioned tutorial project up and running succesfully using the arduino program, and I am also able to get Pduino communicating with the arduino quite happily on my Windows Vista system, but I would imagine to have control over the the digital potentiometer device from within PD would require a revision to the Firmata firmware would it not? I would be most grateful for a clue. thank you for your attention, sincerely, Nick Burge.

[OT] mini-ITX again
by Derek Holzer 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

Hi all, I'm back on my Mini-ITX research, hoping to use one for an upcoming PD installation as well as a live performance box. But what I'm missing is some kind of comparison of price vs functionality here. As well as some overview of which CPUs and chipsets are good for audio and Linux and which ones are not. Can anyone make a recommendation for a Mini-ITX system with a good processor which has proven usable for fairly complex PD patching with Linux, or point in the direction of a good online resource for this kind of info? thx + best! d. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 85: "Humanize something free of error"
