I need to make a script with a especific configuration because is
for a sound installation
try something like:
/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -audiodev 2
depending of course on where your Pd is, and what it is called.
you could save that line in a .command file.
alternatively save the CL flags in your Pd startup preferences,
remember to 'apply' then 'save all settings', then restart pd.
to find out which device numbers correspond to which audio devices
use -listdev as a startup flag and look at the console output. To
find out available startup flags, for more control of devices
channels etc, try:
/Applications/Pd.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd -help
in Terminal.
When all is set, make sure the MOTU is plugged in before Pd is
started. 'Open at Login' in the dock can be useful if you want
automated launch, as can 'restart after power failure' hidden away in
'options'
in 'energy saver' preference panel
