RE: pd and Gem and multithreading
by Mark Danks 04 Oct '99

No. However, you can run two copies of pd...one which is only audio and one which has GEM. Use netsend/netreceive to connect to a socket on the box. This works fine and has been used in a performance already.

bug in route
by Guenter Geiger 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

If I click on the [1 2 3] message in the route reference patch, I don´t get anything out of the "route big apple" object. As I see it this is a bug in route, which can be solved by adding outlet_list(x->x_rejectout, 0, argc, argv); at the very end of the route_list () implementation in x_connective.c Guenter

Re: Online Tcl/Tk resources
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

I must confess that when I learned about Tcl/Tk and found that it was an interpreted language, I was a bit surprised that it is used to any great extent for something like pd. I still think there must be a little more to the story. Because I'm a musician, not a computer scientist, I'd love to work only in C++ That may sound a little strange, but It seems more prudent to focus on developing good C++ chops, which are "generically" powerful and useful, rather than a hodgepodge of languages I only sort of have a handle on. On the other hand, since I started my programming straight off with C++, to pick up a little Java would be almost trivial, and Tcl/Tk appears (I just started today) to be quite easy and straight forward. I guess it's just a balancing act like everything. But I digress. As I learn more about Tcl/Tk, I'll have to evaluate which way I want to go with building a UI for pd (if anywhere). Given that I'm fairly familiar with what C++ can do, I'm certainly inclined to going that route, if only for my own personal version of pd. Since I'm just getting started with Tcl/Tk, and I don't have that much time to spend with it, what are some of the things it's really well suited for? I'd like to think I can use it for something. I think I understand the kind of things it'd be really bad for. Ironically it seems, at least superficially, that the ultimate goal of an app like pd would be poorly served by a language like Tcl/Tk. However, since I'm also fairly new to pd, I'm sure there's all kinds of stuff I don't know about.

clearing the pd window
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

Is there any way to clear the "debug/pd console window"? On a slightly tangential issue, is there a command or method to clear the wish console, ala CLS etc? I can't seem to find it if there is, but I can't believe it's not possible.

what's the best way to clear an array
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 04 Oct '99

04 Oct '99

I have an array resized at load time to the maximum size I'll need. However, I'll want to reuse it several times during the life of the patch by filling it with sound files to be manipulated. Before filling it with a new sound file I'd like to clear the array so if the incoming soundfile is smaller then the outgoing soundfile there isn't any "leftover" surprises. What's the most elegant way to accomplish this? Sincerely, Benjamin Israel israelbenz(a)aol.com www.arts.uci.edu/israelbenz I'll try anything once, except incest and folk dancing. . .

how to play a sound file
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

How does one load a soundfile into pd and play it back? If someone could send me an example patch or just explain how to do it with the objects available in pd, I'd be very appreciative. I would also like to know if there's an archive for this list that I can read through so I can avoid asking questions that have already been asked.

Re: Any point in recompiling pd 0.27 for NT w/ VC6
by Miller Puckette 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

Pd for NT is compiled using VC6. But VC6 doesn't seem to generate faster code than VC5, so people who want to recompile Pd need not upgrade to VC6 to do so. cheers Miller

pd 0.27 Irix and realtime priority
by Michael A. Thompson 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

hello, I have been messing with realtime priority settings under Irix. I have it working and the improvement is very good (I am using a very high setting and it has not brought down my machine yet). the fft patches run better. Convobros.pd runs (about %72 of the CPU) without breaking up even when you interact with the pd gui, although the gui slows down(like MSP on a 120mhz PPC under a heavy load). Im even using the egcs compilers not the SGI native.... Native -- I will do that this week. :-) . you can open imbedded patches without the audio breaking up and move the mouse around in windows without audio breaking up. Also, graphic array updates dont break up the audio either (depends on what you are doing but maybe only 1 click every 10 to 20 secs vs the old way of continuous audio interruptions) At any rate, I only have the code in place for 6.4 and up I think.

pd and Gem and multithreading
by Israelbenz＠aol.com 03 Oct '99

03 Oct '99

Are the activites of pd and Gem divided up in such a way that they take advantage of multi-processor systems? Just curious. Sincerely, Benjamin Israel israelbenz(a)aol.com www.arts.uci.edu/israelbenz I'll try anything once, except incest and folk dancing. . . Sir Thomas Beecham
