Hi, I have this weird problem. Ive been trying various installers over the last years. On all of
them the metro is unstable. Im routing pd-midi into reason, and the
sound from reason into live. I know mentioning reason on this list
is like swearing in church, but thats what I do. And the metro
stutters irregularly.Now, the only version of pd that runs a stable metro is a 2 year
old one (think it was HC's installer), the kind that reside in the
usr directory, and launched through terminal. Can anyone give me
some kind of explanation to this (other than to do with reason)?
And is there a fix for it?
...y'know, chris has been complaining about this for awhile, but I've
not seen it...of course I should point out that I don't use much of
the audio/midi side of pd, and only stick to visual processing, which
seems to deal with large grained timescales where a hiccup in metro
wouldn't be noticeable...
...do you have a small example patch that shows the problem? Are you
running the audio engine when you see the problem? I seem to
remember some problem with pd's timing that was solved by leaving the
audio processing on, even if you aren't using it...
...it could also be a portmidi problem, too: suffice to say, I think
we should solve this ASAP ;-)
