Hello all,

 

(Further adventures with [pd~]): I have my ‘polywavesynth’ synthesizer working with [pd~]; well, except that…no sound comes out!

 

- The message ‘unknown audio API specified’ is displayed in the subprocess pd window.

- I have the two audio outputs of the subprocess wired to a 2 channel [dac~], and there are no audio inputs to the subprocess.

- The parent process is using PortAudio, and the subprocess appears to (correctly?) have no audio API selected.

- The subprocess Audio Settings show that the input device is unchecked and is called ‘input device 1’;

- The corresponding output device is checked and says ‘(same as input device)’.

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi Cyrille (and Iohannes),

 

This is embarrassing; I consulted the [pd~] help file many times, but I somehow didn’t find the right placement for the -nogui flag and kept getting errors – I thought I was missing something basic. With your kind encouragement, I have found the right syntax:

 

[pd~ start -nogui foo.pd(

 

Hope this can help someone else as dumb as me.

 

 

Phil

The answer is in pd~ help file!


"pd~ start" takes as arguments
any startup flags you wish to send the sub-process. For example, specify "-nogui" to
stop the sub-process's GUI from appearing.

cheers
