ugly font edges on non-black background
by Csaba Láng 08 Nov '19

08 Nov '19

Dear list, I would like to use [text3d] texts on yellow background but the edge of the texts are so ugly that I am concerning to use prerendered images on alpha channel. Not even mentioning the inside part of the letters/numbers which are black anyway. Is there a way to achieve beautiful texts which are on transparent background? Tried with alpha with all the numeric possibilities alpha offers (on 16 pd crashes) but without any success. Please advice! Best, Popesz

"Could'nt create"...
by David Schaffer 15 Aug '19

15 Aug '19

Hi everybody, I’ve been away from pd for about a year and, in the meantime, switched from mac to pc. I just reeinstalled the latest version of vanilla for Windows and I’m trying to reopen my old patches. There’s a few objects that won’t pop up and I can’t identify the libraries I’m missing. I thought you guys could help me figure that out. The objects are : Knob, splitfilename, Folder_list. Thank you very much for your help. D.S

missing last letter in object names
by Csaba Láng 19 Jun '19

19 Jun '19

Dear list, weird thing is happening with my GUI on ubuntu 16.04 pd 0.49.0 64 bit If I open pd from terminal, the last letter is missing in each object which has no arguments. Like loadbang is only loadban, pix_video is pix_vide and so on. If I open the patches running pd from its icon, or from the launcher, the GUI works fine. Is it a known issue? Best, Popesz

status of leap motion controller in Pd, especially on Linux?
by Peter P. 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Hi, what is the current status of leap motion support for Pd? I saw Chikashi Miyama's external at https://github.com/chikashimiyama/Pd_leapmotion and a specific windows version apparently for leap motion V.2 https://github.com/chikashimiyama/Pd_Leapmotion_win Am I correct to assume that the latter uses some leapmotion SDK that the former doesn't use? What would furthermore be the best way to use the controller under linux in Pd? Thanks for all hints! P

Re: [PD] [soundfiler] - too many open files / bad file descriptor error (meaning?)

I've not looked at the source code, but ... You could cache the file handle and only close it when the dir changes? You could simply save the path string and then compare it when the path is changed... > Anyway, this means the only way for me to deal with this is to close the > directory EVERY time right after I open it. But it's not ideal for the > design of this object, where I wanted it to leave the directory open so we > could keep querying for files without the need to reopen it every time. I > guess I can just deal with this by opening/closing all the time, but it > kinda sucks... Unless the wizards out there have a magical way out for me > :) -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Pd & massively multi-channel wi-fi speakers
by Kerry Hagan 03 May '19

03 May '19

Hello all, Has anyone used wi-fi speakers with Pd? More importantly - I would ideally like to send 30 independent audio channels to 30 battery-powered wi-fi speakers (in the same room) I’ve never used any wi-fi speakers for anything at all, and I’m finding it hard to see how they are connected without some proprietary software made by the usual suspects. I’ve scoured eBay, Amazon, Curry’s without being able to answer my own questions. And, best I can tell, the most flexible assignable speakers cost in the 100s or 1000s of USD/EUR I’ve got a budget of a couple 100 euros at best. Any advice or pointers are welcome. Cheers, Kerry
