multiple gamepads with hid
by Enrique Tomas 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello! is it possible to use multiple gamepads with [hid]? (let´s say...up to six) I don´t have more than one right now, the idea is using wireless rumblepads... have any of you tried before? Thanks... Qq

Mandriva Package
by Thomas Holzmann 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hello, I want to use pd on Mandriva 2009.1 and the included mandriva package does not work. I'm getting this error: sh: /usr/lib/pd/bin/pd-gui: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (in english: file or directory not found) Does someone have a working mandriva package, preferably pd-extended? Thanks! Regards, Thomas

pdj, mxdublin and -schedlib on os x
by Si Mills 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Hi For those that don't know what mxdublin is, its a java gui tracker sequencer, check this out: http://www.le-son666.com/software/mxdublin/index.html - its looks pretty interesting. I'm having a few teething troubles getting pdj and mxdublin to work. I can get pdj to work the test examples, so I know the whole Java connection is cool. The problem seems to be when instantiating [pdj mxdublin]. Now it is clearly documented that to run a Swing OSC gui in Pd on OS X, one has to reschedule the java gui thread through use of the -schedlib startup flag. In the pdj docs, it says there is a bug in PD that crashes it on startup, so there is a patch for Pd that the author has distributed to remedy this. Lo and behold, Pd is crashing on startup, so I need to fix this. What I can't work out is: a) how to use the *.patch file a) Does the current latest stable version of Pd-extended 0.41.4 need this patch? Any help much appreciated. This will be way cool (i hope) if I can get it working cheers

Re: [PD] PD t-shirts

all in all about how many tshirts are we talking? my first guess would have been 150 tshirts... but i really cant tell. one should consider that there might be extra tshirts for the us. are there any figures from previous editions? up to now i saw the orange tshirt with black printing on it. i like that. how about including some alternatives for the new shirts? greetings, especially to the people in brazil, have a nice time, max Am 27.07.2009 um 04:34 schrieb Hans-Christoph Steiner: > > Hey there from Brasil!

pd~: child only starts to compute when dsp is on
by Max 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

hi miller, i promised to send you this one: it appears that the pd subprocess ony starts to compute (even messages) when audio is switched on in the subprocess. if it was switched on once it may be switched of safely afterwards. a workaround for now is this in the subprocess' patch: [loadbang] | [t b b] | | | [; pd dsp 1( | [delay 20] | [; pd dsp 0( thanks for taking a look.

making scales from frequency values
by J bz 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

Dear all, I have five chimes. I've worked out the frequencies (using Audacity) of the 5 strongest partials of each chime. I now want to be able to work out how to change the octaves of the various partials? My original intention was to find the nearest midinote and just use those but after listening to the results I would much prefer to keep the original ratio's whilst being able to alter the 'inversions'. Here's the list that I have already: BT1 912Hz 2434Hz 4575Hz 7175Hz 11584Hz BT2 1081Hz 2861Hz 5339Hz 8325Hz 15209Hz BT3 1211Hz 3196Hz 5935Hz 9199Hz 15206Hz BT4 1347Hz 3553Hz 6569Hz 10128Hz 18139Hz BT5 1812Hz 4699Hz 8525Hz 13264Hz 15469Hz Is there one piece of mathematrical wizardy that can sort this in Pd? Cheers, Jbz

Re: [PD] [PD-dev] bug???!?!?

That's interesting, and I think it is a clue to what is going on, but it is [envrms~] that makes the signal come _out_ of [clip~]. Without this connected it doesn't go from [clip~] to [svf~] even though it is directly connected. That's why this is a confusing bug. It is as though the [envrms~] acts like a siphon, opening the flow for the signal to travel, but doing it remotely as the [envrms~] just goes to an atom, and does not play a part in the signal path or control mechanism of the synthesizer. Interestingly enough, this does not happen with the nogui version - [clinok~] - only the gui version - [clinoker~] I'll have a look at svf~ to see if the bug is there. Cheese, Ed

Ed, I have suspected [envrms~] of wrecking the performance of my patches before (on a PowerBook G4). I was never quite sure if it was really [envrms~]'s fault until I discovered [unsig~ #] and never went back. [unsig~] will do what [envrms~] does, but also allows you to set the sample time in milliseconds. I wonder if anyone else has had [envrms~] audio freezes.
