Ok not sure for xp but go to the command line and type
pd -listdev
then look for the midiout you wish to use
might be something like -midioutdev 1,2 just pick them until the error goes away if not just use pd -nomidi
if you are trying to load patches that need libraries you will get bad connections _____etc... stick to the examples included with the distribution. they are in pd/doc/3.audio.examples etc.......
you may want to try pd -nomidi-audiobuf 100
good luck

hello,
i am new to the list and PD, very green, and in need of a little help, please,
i have been trying to get pd up and running on my system running xp and
98se
but without much success.
i do get audio signals through my RME HDSP out so far but this is only
with
the testing audio patch, any other patch or .pd file i tried to load generates a lot of errors.
MMSYSTEM02, device out of range. this is under 98.
under XP: MidiInOpen: a device ID has been used that is out of range for your system.
and i get just a lot of errors when i try to load just about any .pd. Nothing will work, connection failed; all kinds of error's --> the program can't seem to connect or comunicate with audiocard or pd, no commands can
be
exectuted.
could this be a networking setup related thing? the pc has normal internet setup for cable. this only just came to mind, actually.
do i need drivers or special tcp/ip networking setup config to get things running smooth?
i have basically no idea now how to get the command promt actually
executing
some flags, this is command line talk, i understand , but following the manual doens't help much.
pd seems really quite powerful, however, also a little intimidating to me.
i
would really like to have any hints or pointers that get me up and
running.
sorry for the long newbie type of post, if you think i better keep my
hands
of PD, just tell me.
but still, any help appreciated.
