hi list
i'm testing netpd on pd-0.40.3-extended-20080114.app on ppc osx 10.4.11, although some synths are missing an object i think it's quite usable atm.
the first problem i ran into was touch ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist emptied the plist but didn't remove it. so it didn't load zexy and maxlib, which is necessary for netpd to start and load the _chat.pd. removing the ~/Library/Preferences/org.puredata.pd.plist manually did solve the issue. i guess when there is no org.puredata.pd.plist it takes the one inside the app. couldn't it be default anyway that it takes plist inside the app? and when i think further couldn't it be the same file/syntax on all OS?
then.. most netpd-patches worked in my testing session. a few synths couldn't load some externals like iem_t3_lib or <~ from zexy.
unfortunately quite a few patches have this error <~ ... couldn't create
bon-drummer.pd bon-minidrm.pd bon-blip.pd bon-plucker.pd (the never bon-* synths all use vline and work nicely) t3_bpe ... couldn't create t3_line~ 0 ... couldn't create t3_del 5 ... couldn't create t3_bpe ... couldn't create t3_delay 5 ... couldn't create t3_sig~ ... couldn't create
fat-ass.pd - although i have never ever heard the sound of this synth, afaik it was a license issue linux-olny. blosc~ syncsaw ... couldn't create blosc~ comparator ... couldn't create blosc~ syncsaw ... couldn't create blosc~ comparator ... couldn't create
while testing on pd-extended i wanted to ask if there are any objection to put netpd (one day, maybe this year) into pd-extended. roman what do you think?
and if yes... how about people could add their netpd-patches to pd-extended/netpd/patches?
