pd 0.26 release
by Miller Puckette 14 Aug '99

14 Aug '99

Hi all, I've released 0.26; see www.crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html . I realized after putting it all together that I never updated the release notes; I'll do that in the HTML documentation in the next couple of days... cheers Miller

Pd 0.26 on FTP site
by Miller Puckette 12 Aug '99

12 Aug '99

Hi all, For those of you who can't do HTTP (e.g., company firewalls) I've thrown a copy of Pd on an old-fashioned FTP site at sdfelix.ucsd.edu. Log in as "anonymous", cd to pub/msp, grab what you want. Miller

PRELIMINARY Pd 0.26 release and HTML documentation
by Miller Puckette 04 Aug '99

04 Aug '99

Hi Pders, I'm finishing up a Pd 0.26 release, perhaps for this weekend sometime; there is some preliminary stuff available now, and I've made some changes in the way I'm distributing things. First, my home page is now http://lena.ucsd.edu/~msp You can get to the software distribution from there, or you can just look at all the files: http://lena.ucsd.edu/~msp/Software If you go there, you get pre-releases as well as "clean" ones. The documentation is in http://lena.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/index.htm which you can also find via my home page, in case any of these urls changes in the future. Meanwhile, you're welcome to grab the Pd 0.26 pre-releases which are available for linux and NT (I haven't got the IRIX version working yet.) There are big improvements over 0.25: - better control over audio latency - +~, etc, can take numbers directly; fewer sig~s needed - you can switch~ audio sub-patches on and off On another topic, I'm not even trying to run Alsa over here at the moment, so unless someone else out there is willing to try out 0.26 with Alsa I bet it won't work. On the other hand, my cheapo PCI128 card (Guenter has one too) seems to be able to put sounds through in under 10msec using free OSS! One local audiophile here in SD has complained about PCI128's low audio quality, but as for me I can't hear anything over the sound of the refrigerator downstairs so I'm not worried. I'm about to try an SBLive (Creative's driver; proprietary hardware) and have an OPL thing too... if anyone out there would like to share experiences with these or other cards I would be happy to post the results in the HTML doc.

hey, when i try and start pd on this vnc display here, i get: . . port 5400 Waiting for connection request... TCL_LIBRARY=./pd/tcl/library TK_LIBRARY=./pd/tk/library ./pd/bin/pd-gui 5400 Application initialization failed: unknown color name "White" and it hangs here ... seems to be something missing in the x installation. some color mapping stuff or so ... anybody know what that is/could be (best as a .deb package name ;) ? |-|-|-|-|-|-|

RE: pd compile on suse 6.1 + more

There is no inherent reason why you couldn't do this (OpenGL is made to work across a network), but GEM won't do it without some code tweaking. When the OpenGL window is created with gemwin, you could pass in a display, which can be used to specify where the window appears (I think). Be aware of how GEM handles OpenGL contexts though! When GEM starts up, it creates an OpenGL context which is never displayed, but exists for the life of the program. This context is created so that display list can be built (such as model) and OpenGL information can be retrieved. This is why there is a special environment variable for cards like the Voodoo2 which don't do OpenGL in a window. If you hotwire where the window gets created, make sure that the hidden OpenGL context is made in the same place so that some of the GEM objects don't freak out when they try to make OpenGL calls without rendering started. <snip> > Yes, Gem now rocks on Linux too !! > This is so great to hear! Sounds like I need to finally deep-six my WinNT OS. I'm trying to do a piece right now and it is pretty frustrating. By the way, it is very easy to get two copies of Pd/GEM running on one machine, but it requires a recompile on WinNT (this will probably not be required in the future). For one of the copies, you need to change what socket pd and pd-gui use for communication. Then just use netsend/netreceive on the same machine. I'm doing this and getting full graphics and sound processing without any clicks. Send me email if you want more info.
