Several questions about Gem and Pd vanilla (Mac OS X 10.13)
by Dudley Brooks 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Many of the answers I find online are not dated, so I'm not sure what the most recent info is. (1) Is there an information source which is guaranteed to be the most up-to-date for Pd, and similarly for Gem? (2) Is it true that Gem will only work with 32-bit versions of Pd? Or is that a now-outdated version of Gem? (3) What settings do I use to make sure that Gem is found by any Pd patch opened by clicking on it or by clicking on the Pd app and then opening the patch from Pd? or (4) If I don't do (3), what do I include in a Pd patch to make sure the patch loads Gem? Thanks. Newbie to Gem, still somewhat newbie to Pd.

Pass arg to Pd via terminal - Test Suite
by Mario Buoninfante 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Yap, in the end I put a [receive] in the patch as a workaround. I'll open a ticket on github then, I suppose this could be useful. Just to give you a bit more context here, the reason why I'm asking for this is because I'm prototyping a test suite for Pd - ie for "continuous integration' or simply for testing new features. I wanted to contribute a bit more to the cause and since this seems to be something we're missing atm, I thought I could spend some time on this. It would be great to have some scripts in place that allow us to check new and old features, to make sure things work fine on different OSs and machines and that we haven't broken anything while working on a new feature. As a starting point we could have Pd users running the suite on their machine and share the logs/results. I'm prototyping something simple in Lua simple, that shouldn't require too much effort in terms of maintenance. I'll open a ticket on github and share more details there. Please, let me know if you have any thoughts/suggestions/questions. Cheers, Mario

Pass arg to Pd via terminal
by Mario Buoninfante 08 Jun '20

Hi Jack, Thanks for your help. That's great but is not exactly what I'm looking for. In my previous email I missed an important bit, what I'd like to do is pass an arg to a specific patch. Something like > pd mypatch.pd 23 and then in "mypatch" I have [$1] that is now 23. Cheers, Mario

Hi, Is it possible to pass arguments to Pd via terminal? I know we don't have [stdin], but I was wondering if there is any other way. Cheers, Mario

intelligent patching manual ? ...
by oliver 07 Jun '20

07 Jun '20

Hi, i'm beginning to use PD's "intelligent patching" features with much pleasure, it's a great everyday helper. But it seems quite undocumented, or am i missing something ? There are 2 Tutorial videos by IOhannes on vimeo, but i think a small "text only" handout to summarize the features would be more helpful in a day-to-day situation. Probably in the DOC section of PD 0.52 ? Best Oliver

canvas window "relocate" message strangeness ...
by oliver 07 Jun '20

07 Jun '20

Hi, i just discovered a really strange phenomenon when opening patch windows with remote messages Attached is a test patch that presents the "problem": The window is always opening with active scroll sidebars, even though there's nothing to scroll. The only exception is, when the "relocate" message mechanism is done "by hand". Messages that are sent remotely or with a delay produce the scrollbars. It really seems that the visual representation of a clicked BANG or a [message box( comes into play here, though i don't understand how or why. It seems as if only as long as the window messages are passed WITHIN the "visual representation time" (in lack of a better description ... i mean the short thickening of the border of a message box when it is clicked with the mouse) the window is opening as it should (without sidebars). I discovered this phenomenon using the [propertybang] external from IEMGUTS, where the window would only open with said sidebars. To make matters worse, this behaviour is not consistent, but seems a little random. What's sure though, is that only a direct mouseclick onto a bang or message box reliably opens the window without sidebars. Feels a little voodoo-ish to me ... Cheers Oliver

Re: [PD] [clone] with individual signal inlets/outlets exposed ?
by Dan Wilcox 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

Your abstraction can have a named [send~] which you can receive into your matrix. Use the $1 id assigned by clone to differentiate the sends, ie. In abstraction: | [send~ out$1] For matrix: [receive~ out1] [receive~ out2] [receive~ out3] | | | [matrix - - ...] etc In this way, the [clone] itself has no outputs, but you have all of the outputs via [send~]. I use this approach very often. > On Jun 5, 2020, at 7:49 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message: 5 > Date: Fri, 5 Jun 2020 19:20:36 +0200 > From: baptiste chatel <baptiste.chatel(a)gmail.com <mailto:baptiste.chatel@gmail.com>> > To: Pd-List <pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@lists.iem.at>> > Subject: [PD] [clone] with individual signal inlets/outlets exposed ? > Message-ID: > <CABrNpLyvGHrRV-+9wDj2p8NnZENQDwEgg-tO7yFHEjw5L1eV6Q(a)mail.gmail.com <mailto:CABrNpLyvGHrRV-+9wDj2p8NnZENQDwEgg-tO7yFHEjw5L1eV6Q@mail.gmail.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > > Would it be possible to have a [clone] option that allows clones individual > signal inlets/outlets to be exposed ? > > An example : i need to make 64 of the following patch : > [receive~ thing-$1] > | > [outlet~] > that should go to a matrix, $1 in [1:64]. > > [clone] is useless because it will sum all outputs and expose only one, > since the cloned patch has one output. > > I could do it with dynamic patching, but as practical as it could be, it is > pretty convoluted to use for such a simple need. > > > Baptiste -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

[clone] with individual signal inlets/outlets exposed ?
by baptiste chatel 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

Would it be possible to have a [clone] option that allows clones individual signal inlets/outlets to be exposed ? An example : i need to make 64 of the following patch : [receive~ thing-$1] | [outlet~] that should go to a matrix, $1 in [1:64]. [clone] is useless because it will sum all outputs and expose only one, since the cloned patch has one output. I could do it with dynamic patching, but as practical as it could be, it is pretty convoluted to use for such a simple need. Baptiste
