pd, ubuntu 8.04, jack
by Julian Peterson 22 Jul '08

22 Jul '08

Hello pd-ers. I'm having difficulties getting reliable performance out of pd with jack on latest ubuntu and am looking for advice. I have tried the pd version from ubuntu repositories and a build from latest vanilla sources (from M.P.'s site) and get the same behavior: 1) Pd works great with ALSA. 2) Jack works great with all other jack-apps. 3) Pd audio clicks and drops very frequently when using jack. I'm on 64bit ubuntu. Thanks, Julian

vu-meter
by Atte André Jensen 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hi I'm trying to have vu show something useful, but with partial success. I have this: | [snapshot~] | [posetive] | [rmstodb] | [- 100] | [s $to_vu] [posetive] is a simple abstraction that... makes negative values posetive (1->1, -1->1, 0->0, etc). This kinda works, but at lower levels, and esp with only high frequency content the meter falls all the way to the bottom. What would make a better meter? -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

sssad glitch
by hard off 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

frank, i found a glitch with sssad. if you use sssad to save the state of a toggle, then sending a [set( message to SSSAD_ADMIN will force a bang on the toggle, even if sssad has not received any data for that toggle. a [route bang] or [sel bang] before the [sssad] outlet fixes this problem.

pdlua also into vanilla?
by marius schebella 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

hi, frank suggested this already, http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-03/060081.html I'd like to support the idea of shipping pdlua as closely as possible with vanilla (frank suggested a status like [expr]). right now pdlua is not even in pdx, which I hope can still be added? marius.

Template for pd_lua files
by Frank Barknecht 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hallo, maybe useful for others, too: attached is a template for a simple *.pd_lua class, that saves some typing. I configured my Vim to load this template everytime I create a new, empty *.pd_lua file. Some methods for bang, float and anythings are predefined, but commented out with multiline Lua comments. You can activate them easily by adding a third dash to the comment's start i.e. change this: --[[ code --]] to this: ---[[ code --]] to make "code" active. Also don't forget to change the local variable "pdclassname" to the name of your pd class which normally has to be the base filename of your *.pd_lua file. This can be automated in many editors as well by searching for ADD_CLASSNAME_HERE and replacing it with the filename on load. Consult your editor's documentation for that.

pdlua binaries
by marius schebella 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

hi, I thought, although compiling is very very easy.., for people who don't have xcode installed (which comes with osx 10.5, no??) I put osx 10.5 binaries of pdlua online. http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/pdlua_binaries. Somehow I am having troubles with the luagl portion, though. does someone have current examples that work with pdlua 0.5? would it be possible to include luagl in the static build, too? thanks, marius.

dumpOSC problems "couldn't create"
by Maíra Sala 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hi, I'm experiencing some very odd thing. When I open my patch, with a dumpOSC and a OSCRoute, sometimes the dumpOSC box can't be created. As it's not allways I'm sure is not a path problems to the library. As I'm working in something that needs to be kind of stable, I'm getting a bit worried. Using the 39.3 version in a windows xp environment. Any ideas of why that happens or how to solve it? Thanks so much for the help!

OS X PD-Extended - help-path question
by Luigi Rensinghoff 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

Hi List A Little question about the helppath-startup flag... I am using Pd version 0.40.3-extended-20080622 on OSX Macbook/Intel The lib/path definitions finally work fine, but i wonder where i have to put an additional -helppath folder. I made a patch where all the "mapping" - objects are collected, just to have an overview. And if i right click the objects i want the helpfile to open. But instead the abstractions open. Even though the help files are in the help-browser in the subfolder 5.reference/mapping. What should i do ?? 1) Include the startup flag -helppath ... bla bla ? There i dont know if on apple the path has to be in " "'s" 2) Add a new path ? So it doesnt make a difference if is "path" or "helppath" ?? 3) Modify the puredata.org.plist file ?? 4) Go back to use a .pdrc-file ?? Thanks... >---------------------------------------< Luigi Rensinghoff luigi.rensinghoff(a)freenet.de skype:gigischinke ichat:gigicarlo

how to avoid (most/many/some) readsf~ dropouts
by Damian Stewart 21 Jul '08

21 Jul '08

hey, one thing i've noticed with readsf~ using it in my own live-performance sets is that doing this [symbol blahblahblah.aif] | [open $1, bang( | [readsf~] sometimes causes dropouts. but if you go [symbol blahblahblah.aif] | [t b a] | \____ | \ [del 50] [open $1( | __________/ |/ [readsf~] then you remove (all/many/some) of the dropouts. i haven't extensively tested this, but anecdotal evidence seems to suggest that it works. hope this helps someone d -- damian stewart | +31 6 5902 5782 | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz
