Hey all,
I'm with a group building an interactive sound sculpture that we are going to be taking to burning man. the premise is essentially interactively sending sampled and live sound sources through different pipes that we have arranged around a central "conductors" podium. I'll post a web page once we have this thing up and running.
Since we needed it to be cheap enough to justify sticking in the middle of a really dusty dessert where we will let drugged up strangers tinker with it unsupervised, we went the multiple cards approach instead of the multichannel pro-audio card. A friend of mine has setup the linux box and has the 4 sound cards working simultaneously. I just wanted to get a little pre-emptive advice from you guys so that once he drops the machine by i can have a test patch ready. :)
So my quesion is this: how do send audio to different sound devices from pd? I see in the "Test Audio and Midi" patch that you can send audio to different channels with [dac~ 2] or [dac~ 3] , so is this all i need to do in order to get it to work?
i did some archive searching and came up with this:
from IOhannes m zmoelnig about "pd-patch for (better) multidevice support"
http://iem.kug.ac.at/mailinglists/pd-list/2001-11/0316.html
Unfortunately right this moment i dont have a linux box to test on (until he drops it back here) so I wanted to ask what the status of using multiple devices in 0.35 test 24 ? I would rather use 0.35 since it is so much cooler that 0.34, have the issues that this patch was made for been addressed in mainline pd since then?
thanks for the help!
