I'm wondering if an object exists that can act as a 'switch'. What I
mean is
that when it is in one state, the signal flow continues in one direction
and
when in the other it goes in another direction, basically deactivating
the
theres surely a dozen more ways to do this, but a toggle & a pair of
spigots fed with == 0 and == 1//
the switch is in another state. All this to save cpu, since both
processes
could be placed inline, but would consume too much cpu.
suppose you have two subpatches both heavily taxing the cpu with
audio-rate signal processing, but due to your switch, you only want one of them on at once. is there a way to selectively disable dsp on a subpatch basis? i saw something in the help files about a similar trick for blocksize, but perhaps i havent dug deep enough to into the scheduler code or help files to know if something like a simple toggle .x40203 DSP 0 method exists..

hi,
exactly for that purpose, but for different kind of data, you can find :
- for audio signals :
spigot~ from http://ydegoyon.free.fr/software.html
- for pdp video processing :
pdp_spigot from http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip.html
for other data, like messages or floats, the built-in spigot, demux or moses can do the trick.
cheers, sevy

i do think, that "signal flow" was *not* referring to pd's signals but rather to messages (considering the terms "Gem" and "video processing" in the original mail) but of course [switch~] this is perfect for this kind of things.
[moses] just works on streams of floats, so it is not really useful for unspecified "messages"

nice. using the built in [==] makes a lot more sense than the [invert] object i was using...

for this, try [switch~], which serves the function of "switch"ing on and off DSP for a subpatch. send it a toggle.
somewhere i remember seeing an abstraction which would detect when the inlet~ level is quiet and [switch~] off DSP at that time, and turn it on again when it gets more level ... i thought it was a good idea, as long as there's some envelope to avoid clicks. can't find the abstraction now though...

The [threshold~] object is your friend here.
I use this technique quite a bit for things like volume envelopes and filters.

I will have to take a look at this patch. What are the advantages of using [sigzero~] (which I am guessing bangs the output when the signal gets to zero) over something like [threshold~] which gives you control over low value bang and high value bang, along with jitter control?

Dear Thomas,
Being a great fan of py/pyext, I recently tried to use dyn~ in
combination.
It turned out that I did not read carefully your webpages...
I received a "Fatal Python error: PyThreadState_Get: no current thread" as a response :-/
But just to be really sure, is it so that dyn~ does only accept the
dynamic
creation of standard Pd objects and not the one of complex objets like the ones created with py/pyext?
If yes, do you see any chances in the futur that this might happen?
In fact I would really like to use py/pyext to drive dyn~ to build pd objects containing py/pyext objects...
cordially, vincent

A hexdump would be a way to see the actual bytes, but I think you would
want
to see sample frame values. That would mean reading the header of the WAV file and based on the number of channels and the sample type printing a listing of human readable decimal numbers. One way to do this in pd, is to write the sound to a table with soundfiler
I
think, and then reading the table and printing it out to the console or putting it in a textfile object and saving that. The table has to be big enough, but if you really want to see the sample values, you are probably
not
dealing with minutes of sound.

Hello Everyone
I am in the process of switching computers, and operating systems, from windows 98 to mac OS X, and I am trying to load all of my patches that I wrote in windows to my new computer.
I had no trouble installing pd on OS X, but now I can't figure out how to load libraries (percolate, especially!) on to Pd. I know how to do it on the DOS command line.
Is the syntax the same? i.e.:
pd -lib percolate ........or whatever...
It seems like I am missing a pretty simple solution, though I would like to have Pd for OS X running as soon as possible, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! David

I think my problem might have more to do with the UNIX syntax of OS X. Where do I find the .pdrc?=20
To run pd from the terminal I am using the command "open pd", but when I add tags the terminal tries to look them up as file names.
To reiterate:
I am running Pd on OS X, which is still pretty new to me, and I can run Pd on the command line, but not with the optional tags.=20
Does this make sense?

I think my problem has a lot to do with my lack of familiarity with the unix syntax. Right now I can run pd from the terminal using the command "open pd", but when I add the tags to add libraries, the shell looks for them as if the tags were file names.
where is the .pdrc?
do I need to change the settings on the terminal?

.pdrc is not in your system by default. you have to create it with a=20 text editor like pico, emacs or whatever you can use it to tell up to load the libs on startup. browse the list=20=
