sfread
by Michael Lechasseur 17 May '99

17 May '99

Hi, I've been doing a lot of experimenting with pd during the last couple of days, and I'm having a great time. I'm working with sound files, and thought that I might find some advice here. I see that an sfread object is included in the externs directory, and I am wondering how I should go about compiling it? The files of code are there, but it doesn't seem available to me in pd, so I don't think that it got compiled on install? (version 0.25TEST4) I've been working with loading files into arrays in the meantime, and have a question. When I read a sound file into an array, the length is sent to the stdout window. I would like to use that value in pd. Is it accessible somehow? I'm getting clicks at the start and finish of playing the content of the arrays, so if I could find out the length of the sound file, I could mute the output to the dac~ at the appropriate times. Any ideas? I'm a bit confused as to the difference between a graph and array. It seems that I should make a graph, and then create an array in it? Michael Lechasseur

compile of sfread.c
by Michael Lechasseur 14 May '99

14 May '99

This is probably the most round about of getting this object compiled (for Linux) and loaded, but this is the method I used, copied and modified from the output of the pd compile. cc -O2 -DPD -fPIC -I../../src -c sfread.c ld -export_dynamic -shared -o sfread.pd_linux sfread.o -lc -lm rm sfread.o Not sure where the best place to keep the compiled library would be? For now it's in the same directory as the patch I am running, which is where I launch pd. I start pd with "-lib sfread" in my .pdrc file That worked for me, and should work for similar objects that people might need to compile and use. Let me know if I can improve this hack.. I wasn't sure how to modify the makefile.linux to do all this for me..

Redhat 6.0 works
by Michael Lechasseur 10 May '99

10 May '99

Hi, Thanks to all who wrote replies about the "network host unreachable" error. I didn't realize how common the error was. It was my first Linux install on a box that didn't have a network card, so I was unfamiliar with the error. Just to let you know, pd-0.24 worked fine on RedHat 6.0 with OSS/Linux. On my own system I tried pd-0.25TEST3, and got good results with guenter's modified SB PCI128 driver on the 2.1.130 kernel. Full-duplex 16-bit midi in and out. Is it possible to have 4 input channels in this version? I have an interesting application for that. When I booted 2.0.36 and used OSS/linux, pd would run only if I disabled the input. I could document the 'error' if it would be useful? The work that is going into pd is very encouraging. My thanks to all those who are developing. Michael Lechasseur

network is unreachable
by Michael Lechasseur 08 May '99

08 May '99

Hi, I tried pd on a new install of RedHat 6.0 Pd compiles fine. When I run pd I get: connecting stream socket: Network is unreachable (101) Any ideas? OSS/Linux, AWE64, kernel 2.2.5-15, glibc 2.1.1

two questions
by Christian Feldbauer 06 May '99

06 May '99

Hi Miller ! IÅ½m used to working with max... 1) short length of constants When IÅ½m using float-constants as arguments for objects (or messages), pd truncates them extremely ! So itÅ½s not possible to make for example a filter (biquad~) with a desired frequency response. DonÅ½t you think the length is too short ? 2) missing "refer to another table"-function for table-objects In my opinion it is very useful to can switch to another table (array) (set -function or int (float) -function). WhatÅ½s the reason for taking away this functions (IÅ½v seen the dead code in d_array.c)?

signal-flow-incompatibility
by Christian Feldbauer 06 May '99

06 May '99

Hi Miller ! Hi Overlap-And-Add-Freaks ! PD is a signal-flow-oriented programming environment... But in my opinion there is a incompatibility becouse the fft-objets and outlet~ (overlap and add). Why should the outlet~ get a different signal than any other object (for example tabsend~) after rifft~ ???? Can anybody answer this question ?

But mind you--most of these "thieves" weren't actually felons. Check out the new book by Scott Christiansen: "With Liberty for Some: 500 Years of Imprisonment in America", Northeastern University Press (reviewed in the February 13 issue of the Economist, Review of Books & Multimedia). In short, many prisoners the "land of the free" relied on for forced labour on plantations, etc. were actually simply kidnapped street kids from London. One of the big winners of this system by the way was. So, i'd add the kidnapped to your list :) -Tobias

And I also have a question OnTopic. I'm still using pd0.24 under linux. In addition to my comments about it's extreme cpu consumption when run in 44.1kHz i've noticed another thing. It hangs the system. Anythoughts? | ..... .... ...... Michal Seta ...... ..... ....

gem 0.80
by Mark Danks 26 Apr '99

26 Apr '99

GEM 0.80 is out for Win32. You can get it at the usual place: http://www.danks.org/mark/GEM Lots of bugs fixed. A few new objects. The manual is now a part of the release. There is a movie object. Please let me know if pix_movie causes any problems. Make sure to read the manual about it...it is a little different. Also, I have to turn off sound to avoid some problems when I use pix_movie. The manual pages on the GEM web site are updated. Look at the Utility page for examples and usuage for the MarkEx objects (vectors are good...) The IRIX version should be along soon. I got Red Hat Linux installed over the weekend, so I'm trying to sync up the un*x versions. Later, Mark ---------------------------------------- -- Mark Danks -- mdanks(a)stormfront.com -- http://www.danks.org/mark ----------------------------------------
