Hi
a very newb-ish question regarding the built in functionality of PD
and Gem with regards to Max/Jitter.Im trying to port some of my jitter patches to Gem, and found myself
asking:is there an object in PD (or an external), that is the equivalent of
matrix?is there a good list of the major externals, and their essential
aspects anywhere?
Install the MacOS X installer and look in /usr/local/lib/pd/extra.
That's a decent list of the externals that are available, minus the
ones that are in libs (Gem, PDP, IEMlib*, xsample, vasp, zexy). There
are a lot more that aren't yet included as well. You can see most of
those in CVS.
Dave Sabine PDDP help patches are really great for this too since they
link to similar objects. They are included in both the MacOS X and
Windows installers.
or a max->pd guide?
essentially I want to be able to make a sort of video patch bay and be
able to shoot video to subpatches and route them around as needed, (ie
pix_filmYUV to some abstracted router, to say, yuv_adjust etc etc.
however I dont want anything hard coded/patched so to speak.The matrixctrl/matrix is essentially what I would love to have.
id be more than happy to send my max patch out so someone can decypher
what it is I mean =).also, is there any planned native PD for OS X editor in the work? Im
enjoying being able to use paradiddle for make a nice front end for my
patch, but id love to have something that looks as good (well, better
than), max. sorry if saying that is a faux pas, but tcl/tk isnt
exactly the best on OS X.
There will be good news soon on this front: tigital is porting Tcl/Tk
to CoreGraphics on OSX. He said its already making a huge difference.

thanks for any input.
PD really shines. Gem and PD run faster and smoother on OS X that most
(if not all) similar video tools. I cant wait to see where everything
goes.-dok
