I'd love to see that. (Was it attached, sorry?) I was wondering about something along those lines; in fact, had a conversation with a friend about how this is done with LED arrays, which involves some similar message structure. > 3. sends to names instead of outlet, which makes it much less flexible Yes, indeed.

noob question: trying to repurpose the G08.reverb.pd example
by Morgan Packard 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

I'm trying to add that reverb in to my own patch. I simply copied and pasted the "pd reverb" subpatch in to my own. The "reverb-echo" abstraction isn't being found by my own patch (it shows up with a red outline, and an error in the console: "reverb-echo ... couldn't create". The example patch works fine, loads that abstraction no problem. But it doesn't work in my own patch. I tried loading a different abstraction in to my own patch, and it loads just fine. Any ideas what's going on here? How can I get better debugging information than "couldn't create"? thanks! -Morgan -- ================================ Web: http://www.morganpackard.com Music/Art: Latest album: Moment Again Elsewhere<http://www.anticipaterecordings.com/releases/ANT_011/index.php> iOS app Thicket <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/thicket/id364824621?mt=8>available on iTunes store . ================================

In order to simplify the structure of paths to several library/objects in the recent Pd-extended releases, a <pd-externals> folder is created during the installation. I would generally recommend to make use of that folder for one's own library/objects and other libs. M > > I don't entirely follow what is happening with your files.

Really random random from date and time
by Ed Kelly 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

Hi list, I'd like my patch to create a different random each time it's loaded. I'm using [urn] so I tried feeding a [random 500] -> [seed $1( into the [urn], but every time it's the same result. According to the documentation "if you don't give it a seed then each instance of random gets its own seed" but every time I initiate the patch the result is the same. Is there an object that will give me the current date and/or time, so that I can use that as a seed to the random and urn objects??? 11010001001001011 Ed Metastudio 4 for Pure Data - coming soon!

search paths
by Jonathan Wilkes 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/x3.htm#s5 "Regardless of path, Pd should look first in the directory containing the patch before searching down the path. Pd does not automatically look in the current directory however; to enable that, include ``." in the path. The ``extra" directory, if enabled, is searched last." This isn't true for new patches, which automatically get the current directory added to the path (at least on an Ubuntu Maverick machine running Pd version 0.42-6). Also, if you do add a "." to the search path, then an object like [./blah] can refer either to "blah" in the patch directory (which, luckily, gets searched first) or the current directory. I've never used this feature but it seems really odd to have "./" referring to two different things at once. -Jonathan ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for earth-friendly autos?

in an abstraction or subpatch, what determines the order of inlets/outlets?
by Morgan Packard 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

In other words, when I edit my subpatch, how can I tell which inlets/outlets in the subpatch correspond to which in box in the main patch representing the subpatch? I'm sure this is a common question, but a quick glance through the docs and on google didn't turn anything up. thanks, -Morgan -- ================================ Web: http://www.morganpackard.com Music/Art: Latest album: Moment Again Elsewhere<http://www.anticipaterecordings.com/releases/ANT_011/index.php> iOS app Thicket <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/thicket/id364824621?mt=8>available on iTunes store . ================================

Re: [PD] sssad and different $0 after shutdown
by Marco Donnarumma 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hey Frank, the main issues I'm trying to solve using $0 sssad are: - to save presets of several gop abstractions and being able to restore those presets after machine shutdown - a dynamic parameters routing; using a slightly hacked [sssad], my gop objects can learn with a click where to receive/send params from/to. Initially [sssad PARAMETER_NAME $0] worked fine, but when the machine restarts after shutdown all $0 are different. At the moment I solved this giving each abstraction a $1, then using [sssad $1/myparam], which is the obvious solution. However, the system is quite complex, and assigning a $1 to each abstraction it's not practical. I think an alternative option involving $0 would be far more efficient in my case, any hint? thanks! > On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 07:51:23PM +0000, Marco Donnarumma wrote: > > Thanks Andras, yes I know I could, I was curious to understand if a > solution > > including $0 could've been possible. > > For which problem are you searching a solution?
