Hi folks !
Using pd on my very slow WIN95 machine I have a few questions which I ask you to answer...
- Is it possible to use an initialization file, and does it make any
sense ?
(ThatŽs just because I have to use thousands of flags and this is hard work, especially when trying new configurations)
- Why is it not possible any longer to use a working directory
different from '/directory/pd/bin' in release 0.23 (although it was in the earlier releases) ?
(ThatŽs just because I canŽt understand why there is a BINary directory if I have to put all my trash into it by default)
- Is it possible to save arrays as soundfiles to disk (something
equivalent to the READ16 message) ?
(ThatŽs just because I donŽt want to convert saved arrays to soundfiles myself all the time, although I got some very beautiful and unexpected sounds :: in NOISETRACKER-format ??:?)
- Is it possible to use more than one (stereo) IN-/OUTput, and if
so, how ?
(ThatŽs just because I have 6 or so audio-out-devices and 2 audio-in-devices on my soundcard)
- Is it possible to switch off the MIDI-devices like the audio-devs
?
(ThatŽs because I use Mark DanksŽ GEM on a PC without a soundcard, and I feel scared every timeall those horrible error messages appear on the screen)
- Do self-made abstractions eat up all the ressources ?
(ThatŽs just because my Pentium wouldnŽt do some patches, and so did IEMŽs SGI!)
- Is it clever to use a Pentium100 ?
(ThatŽs just because I donŽt think so)
Thanks in advance, and so on...
love
