hi,
not all of the examples produce sound, but some do
(3.audio examples do).
after you open a patch, you have to turn dsp
(signal processing) on. this is like "start rendering". this is done by clicking
on the "dsp 1" message - if there is one, or in the main window "compute audio"
or via keyboard shortcut or via taskbar audio - on. sound is produced and sent
to your soundcard through the dac~ object. in many examples you will also have
to turn up the volume. for example in 08.phase.mod. this is done by dragging the
numberbox with the mouse to a value like 90 (this is dB). and
then, finally, you have to set some values to hear sound. in 08.phase.mod
you have to set the values of the carrier frequency to at least 40-50 (Hz) or
far more up. if you change other values you hopefully will hear a difference in
the output...
sme.

Subject: [PD] a simple example to get me
started/newbie
Hello. I have no backround in programming, so trying to get past the audio
test has been frustrating. I heard the test tones and the white noise in that
test; I'm able to get the command prompt up (run C:pd/bin/pd.exe) as well as
open up a new file from the main window. My ISP recognizes TCP/IP as a
possible internet connection, so THAT appears to be turned on, though I'm
"dial-up"; I keep reading and re-reading the manual and all relevant
info. from other sites but nowhere can I find someone with a "simple
example" to give a "wah-newbie" like
me something to sink his teeth
into. (If the examples in doc\2.control examples thru 5.reference are supposed
to "sound", then what EXACT procedure do I need to follow to get that to
happen? The same for the examples in the main manual, I get no sound generated
from these examples either, though test tones
work).
Any help is appreciated. Thanks. My OS is WinXP.
