What's the easiest way to cut various symbols to a fixed length? With or without externals. I need to cut names to fit a LCD display. Thank you Ingo

Do you mean that you can hot-plug usb devices and use them in pd without restarting it ? > From: > "Ingo" <ingo(a)miamiwave.com> > I'm reading out the connected MIDI interfaces upon connection by monitoring > the/dev/ folder with [hcs/folder_list] every couple seconds. > Whenever a new midi device gets connected I use a [shell] with [aconnect -i( > to read out the names and IDs and send them with the midi input number of Pd > to an lcd display while connecting it to the Pd MIDI inputs. > So whenever I connect a midi device I know where it comes in. >

I have vanilla implementations of s2l and l2s, if needed: https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches <https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches> File paths with spaces work fine as long as you merge them into a single symbol. I simply use l2s for this. > On Nov 13, 2019, at 9:56 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: "Ingo" <ingo(a)miamiwave.com <mailto:ingo@miamiwave.com>> > To: "'Winfried Ritsch'" <ritsch(a)iem.at <mailto:ritsch@iem.at>>, <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] What's the easiest way to cut various symbols to a > fixed length? > Message-ID: <000c01d599fd$63e44ea0$2bacebe0$(a)miamiwave.com <mailto:000c01d599fd$63e44ea0$2bacebe0$@miamiwave.com>> > > First of all thank you, Winfried and Tim! > > I ended up picking Tim's version with [list fromsymbol], [list split] and > [list tosymbol] because it needs less objects. > Works perfectly! > > However, I had to add a [iemlib/mergefilename _] to eliminate blank spaces in > some names. > In order to change the names to work with [mergefilename] and [ list > fromsymbol] I had to convert a few times with [s2l] and [l2s]. > The underscores are converted to spaces again right before going to the LCD > display. > > Ingo -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Yeah, that makes sense. The preferences are read via calls to the macOS command line "defaults" command, so a process is spawned for each variable that is read. This could be improved by directly reading & parsing the plists or, at the very least, grabbing all variables with a single call to "defaults." > On Nov 12, 2019, at 9:10 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 12 Nov 2019 20:21:06 +0100 > From: iftah gabbai <ift.gab(a)gmail.com <mailto:ift.gab@gmail.com>> > To: Miller Puckette <msp(a)ucsd.edu <mailto:msp@ucsd.edu>> > Cc: Christof Ressi <christof.ressi(a)gmx.at <mailto:christof.ressi@gmx.at>>, Pd-List > <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: Re: [PD] lag when starting sub-process > Message-ID: > <CA+d=bQL6a1UHG+kZ5_J7ysNMn7quu6oSqb6bYocFno-XyFgDiQ(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CA+d=bQL6a1UHG+kZ5_J7ysNMn7quu6oSqb6bYocFno-XyFgDiQ@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > just a short followup - on mac "-noprefs" makes a huge difference! > > best -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

best way to use a variable number of polyphonic voices?
by Matt Davey 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

If i wanna set up round robin polyphony with a variable number of available voices, is the best way just to have a bunch of different [poly] objects and subpatches and just choose between them? or is there something more elegant?

messages into [bp~ ] audio input trigger impulses?
by Peter P. 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Hi, just found out by accident that one can send number messages into the first audio input of the [bp~ ] bandpass filter. They seem to be treated as audio signal values and cause an audio signal to be output by [bp~ ]. Is this intentional? Furthermore, the help patch for signal arithmetic objects says, that they accept numeric messages into their right inlet if a numeric argument hast been supplied. It seems this is not (always?) required. cheers, P
