Vincent, that rocks! Do you think we could get permission to use it as the cover for the Pd FLOSS Manual? D.

Writing -dB or VU level to a TXT File
by Benalt, Adam D (NBC Universal, MSNBC) 04 Apr '09

04 Apr '09

Hey All -- I'd appreciate any advice that you could offer on this. Ultimately, what I'd want to do is just access the Line-In audio data (I'm assuming it's somewhere in the Windows API?) and then write that data (maybe constantly updated to a TXT file?) so I can access the TXT file from another program. Basically, how to get numerical data (writing into a txt file) representing the levels on a sound card? Please e-mail responses to: adam.benalt(a)msnbc.com Adam D.

Doc/tutorial thoughts from Max/MSP switcher/newbie (long)
by J. Simon van der Walt 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Seems there's a lot of activity around docs and tutorials in this community at the moment. It's great for someone like me, giving Pd another try after a couple of years of using Max/MSP. Since I last looked at it, things are much improved. Pd-extended is great; all the libraries I'll probably/maybe need are packaged away in a .app where I can just forget about them. This is market leading as far as I'm concerned; much better than Max/MSP (or heaven forbid, SuperCollider!) - for me as a musician/geek (but not a programmer) the whole business of trying to figure out which stupid folder some bunch of stupid files has to be dropped into just - gets - really - boring. On the docs and tutorials front, again I'm finding a lot of great stuff. However... just at the moment I'm trying to port one of my favourite max patches to Pd and finding it unexpectedly difficult to find the information I need. I find I'm missing three really useful things in Max/MSP; in order of importance, probably, consistent 'related object' buttons in the help patches, the Object Thesaurus, and a complete reference manual. Ok, there are 'related object' buttons in many help files, but for some reason I can't quite put my finger on, I frequently find myself dead-ended in Pd, and not sure where to look for an object which might just do what I want. This is where an Object Thesaurus would be really great, being able to look up objects (including those from extended libraries) by what-they-do category. For instance, the other day I was looking to see if there was something like the Max/MSP matrix~ and matrixctrl for audio routing. I couldn't really see where to start, other than trawling randomly through help files and tutorials in the hope of spotting something relevant. http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/ListofObjects is a good start in this direction (although that page is formatting oddly for me at the moment?) Finally, of course, a complete reference page on every object... nb 1 - of course, for matrix~ I ended up using, er, matrix~ from the cyclone library. Still wondering if there is another way, rather than just falling back on Max/MSP solutions... nb 2 - hope this post comes across as useful feedback from a newish user, not carping... -- J.

Strange real time behavior with pd-extended + Jack + Libraries
by Martin Schied 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi all. I'm running Ubuntu Intrepid 2.6.27-3-rt #1 PREEMPT RT and having some strange things happening when loading libraries like GEM, pdp or pidip together with using real time priority for jack and pd: starting jack: jackd -R -d alsa starting pd: /usr/bin/pd -jack -rt -channels 2 -noprefs -stderr then i make a new patch and create [Gem] it takes some time (hard disk working) and then everything's fine. then i close pd, start pd again like above, again create [Gem] (this time no noticeable harddisk action, files are cached) and pd crashes: ... GEM: using MMX optimization cannot read server event (Connection reset by peer) zombified - calling shutdown handler watchdog: signaling pd... watchdog: signaling pd... I can avoid this crash by different things: start with -nogui start with channels 0, then creating [Gem] then set up media, jack start pd without real time priority or start jack without real time priority or with -P (priority setting) which gave too much xruns, at least with firewire audio. it also crashes when i start pd without audio, then set up audio in the menu and then create [Gem] I also posted this as bug at the Gem sourceforge page, but then i found out that it's not Gem related. As I mentioned before, it also happens with pdp / pidip, but Interestingly not every time I create pdp (but always together with pidip) my workaround is now loading all libs at startup and then sending a message to pd to setup audio: [; pd audio-dialog 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 48000( anyone having similar things happening? i could reproduce it on an other pc using ubuntu jaunty, but it didn't happen on hardy. also non-realtime kernels give me these problems. cheers, Martin

Ubuntu 8.1 HID object
by tfric＠learnkanji.ca 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Hi, I have been unable to get the Ubuntu HID object working with my mouse or my Wacom Graphire4 in Ubuntu 8.1. I am currently using Wintablet in windows but to use it the top window has to be wintablet, not PD so PD can't get keyboard events at the same time as wacom events. I don't get error messages but no events come out. I searched the mail archives and followed the advice there. I am not getting any output when I do sudo cat /dev/input/event0-10 or /dev/input/mouse0 or /dev/input/mice or /dev/input/wacom. The Xorg.conf doesn't contain anything related to Wacom, it is all handled by HAL in Ubuntu 8.1. Is that where the problem is coming from? Has anyone sorted this out already?

All this talk about pd shirts inspired me to *bang* out a design. There's a higher resolution version over here: http://noisybox.net/computers/pd/images/pd_headbang.png It's a simple, single-sided white ink on black shirt design. Cheers, -jason http://noisybox.net
