remote SL users..?
by Damian Stewart 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

hey, Anyone else out there using one of the Novation Remote products to control PD? I have a series of patches I've built which allow me to manipulate everything I need without ever going near the actual computer - everything's painstakingly hand-mapped to a knob on the controller. I recently sent Novation an email about releasing the Automap SDK - they said they'd do so 'in a few weeks' - this was a few weeks ago, so it's hopefully imminent. The question I want to ask is, would anyone else find an Automap external for PD useful? -- damian stewart | +44 7854 493 796 | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz

pdpedia instability

Hey, I think things have stabilized with the server setup where pdpedia is hosted.

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

pdp_v4l2 with MacBook Pro 3rd iSight on Ubuntu (success)
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 22 Oct '08

22 Oct '08

Hey, Sergi and I just figured out how to use the macbook pro iSight camera with pdp_v4l2, so I thought I just post here how for the record: By default the iSight with pdp_v4l2 seems to use MJPEG colorspace, so I was getting a "pdp_v4l2: unsupported color model" error. We sent the [format 1( to get the YUYV space, as reported in the Pd window, and it works! .hc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. - General Smedley Butler

Re: [PD] looking for open dmx external
by David Kirkpatrick 05 Oct '08

05 Oct '08

Hi Jim,I developed an external with Adrian 'Packrat' Taylor that allows pd to talk to the Enttec USB DMX Pro. It is called [dmxsend], and is part of the Packrat library (.dll). You can find it at www.packratproductions.com.au/davidkirkpatrick. I've included a simple help patch to show the basic functions and how they work. If you have any questions, let me know. Also, if you want to try and get it working on OSX or linux you're welcome to try. David Kirkpatrick>Hi, does anyone know where I can find an external for the Entec Open DMX>USB device, preferably for Linux though I can also use windows if I have>to.

Re: [PD] Idiomatic Pd

> >> When 0.39 begins to wane (so [declare] can be used), ... > > Careful here: [declare -path ...] is disabled inside of abstractions > in Pd-0.41. > Right -- but [declare -path ...] is terribly useful for not having a patch's main directory cluttered with 100 abstractions, which was the main point... but since 0.39 is still widely in use I tend to avoid it unless it's for patches I know only I am going to be running. I guess it's okay to be conservative in some parts of life. =o) OT -- out of curiosity, if it were to be enabled within an abstraction, would the -path be relative to the abstraction file or to the patch in which it's instantiated?

Hello, Does anyone know the size limit of a 44.1k stereo wav file that "soundfiler" can handle? So far, I haven't been able to write more than 36562276 samples to a table (which represents 829 seconds of sound if I get it right). What can I do in order to be able to read larger files? Thank you.

http://puredata.info/Members/mjmogo Hello all, Just wanted to let you know that I have posted the latest "findings" on this external... basically, it is set up with two distinct objects, one the represents the Database connection [SQLdb], and a SQL query [SQLquery]. Please bend, fold, spindle, mutilate, or treat as any other piece of software. In other words, tell me what you think is wrong, and please be specific...
