clone and pdcontrol [dir( message
by Jean-Yves Gratius 02 Oct '20

02 Oct '20

Hi It seems that when you put pdcontrol in an abstraction that is instantiated within clone, pdcontrol doesn't take in consideration the owner level /n/ when it receives the [dir /n/( message. Can you confirm ? (tested with pd 0.51.0 linux amd64, and with pd 0.51.0 windows i386 via wine ) Thanks J.Y.G.

Hi there, I’m trying to use the mkdir command with [system] but all I get is error messages, has anyone been successful with it so far ? Thank you very much.

[pii2c] keeps and resends previous messages when addresses change
by Alexandros 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

When trying to send messages to two I2C slaves from the Pi with [pii2c] the following happens: If I send this message to [pii2c 0x0A]: "write 3 127 7" it arrives properly at the slave address 0x0A. If I change the address to 0x09 with the message "addr 0x09" and then send this message: "write 97" then both messages will be sent to the respective slaves, meaning that "3 127 7" will be sent to slave 0x0A and "97" to slave 0x09. If I then change the message sent to 0x09 to "98", this will be sent to 0x09, but again "3 127 7" will be sent to 0x0A. If I resend "3 127 7" to 0x0A, "98" (the last message set to 0x09) will be sent to 0x09 as well. The same behavior occurs when I send the message "write 0x09 98". The same behavior also occurs if I use two different [pii2c] objects, like this: [write 3 127 7( | [pii2c 0x0A] [write 97( | [pii2c 0x09]

Re: [PD] Concatenating two atoms into one?
by jayrope 01 Oct '20

doubled-checked here (pd 0.50-2, osx 10.9.5) [set $1$2, bang( outputs $1$2 to a subsequent message object [2] here. However banging this one causes no subsequent output to a number or symbol object [3] afterwards, neither from [set $1$2, bang( directly, nor from an independently fired bang to [2]. Patch-save and reload does *not* change anything here, as opposed to what Matt reports. So, is that a bug - or expected behaviour? If expected behaviour, why would that be so? Thank you again for your insights. janek On 10/01/20 11:14, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2020 16:10:27 +0800 > From: Matt Davey <hard.off(a)gmail.com> > To: oliver <oliver(a)klingt.org> > Cc: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] Concatenating two atoms into one? > Message-ID: > <CAO=D1cgxJ30WGKPwHJRWap93wZejup1j+h5dwwFaxeaGRsMUmA(a)mail.gmail.com> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > if you bang the 7 17 message, and then bang the message box that gets set, > pd outputs to console: > > float: no method for '717' > > But if you then save the patch, reload, and bang that same message box, it > outputs correctly. > > Is that a bug?

Route "1" instead of 1
by Maximiliano Estudies 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Dear List, is there a way to tell [route] to route the symbol "1" insead of (float) 1? I'm working with OSC and the incoming messages have a lot of numbers (like /track/1/fxparam/1/) in the namespace. For now I have been using [list split 1] | | [f ] | | | [list append] to convert the symbols to floats, which is actually fine, but I have a big project coming up where I will have to do this a lot and maybe there is a way to ask [route] politely to recognize the symbol "1".

Number of the available midi ports shown
by Maximiliano Estudies 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Dear list, I recently stumbled on a problem with the number of available midi interfaces shown under _midi settings_. I am using four different keyboards, three of them connected via USB Midi and one over a ESI M8U Midi interface. I also need 4 internal IAC MIDI Buses. My problem is that the ESI interface has 16 ports that are shown as different devices, and Pd shows only the first 21 available devices, so when the interface is connected I can't select some of the other keyboards as inputs because they are not shown in the drop-down list. I only need the first port of the ESI interface and I can't disable the rest in the audio-midi config, and this is the only interface I have. Would it be possible to extend the drop-down menu to all the devices? I'm using Pd-0.50 on OSX Sierra (10.12).

Re: [PD] Number of the available midi ports shown

I'd recommend not choosing inputs directly in Pd, but use IAC MIDI busses and then route the hard device to them with something like MIDI Patchbay. I use this all the time, but then again I am not using as many simultaneous interfaces as you are. http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/ <http://notahat.com/midi_patchbay/> > On Sep 30, 2020, at 12:11 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2020 19:23:00 +0200 > From: Maximiliano Estudies <maxiestudies(a)gmail.com <mailto:maxiestudies@gmail.com>> > To: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] Number of the available midi ports shown > Message-ID: > <CAF358wQKQiH0RtTsy6Lv8jTB1vK0psDk20Q+n_=Ua1aD9vFq0Q(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CAF358wQKQiH0RtTsy6Lv8jTB1vK0psDk20Q+n_=Ua1aD9vFq0Q@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Dear list, > > I recently stumbled on a problem with the number of available midi > interfaces shown under _midi settings_.
