Hi there:
I read:
Just wondering if there is a cd player external that can play audio cd from the cd drive and output the audio in signal outlets?
AFAIK no, you could use alsaplayer (-> http://www.alsaplayer.org/) , jack (-> http://jackit.sf.net/) and -> http://test.pilot.fm/pd/externs/apctl-0.0.4a.tar.gz to control alsaplayer from pd.
Ok, I now have jack and can start it with:
Jackstart -R -d alsa -d hw -r 44100
And I also got alsaplayer and can start it with:
Alsaplayer -o jack
Also, I can start pd with:
Pd -jack
Now, alsaplayer is playing cd using jack, but how would I get the audio signal into pd without the sound coming through alsaplayer? I mean, when alsaplayer is playing the cd, of course the sound came through via jack. So, how would I go about it so that the [adc~] is coming from alsaplayer and the cd can only be heard via [dac~] in pd? Am I making sense? I am a bit confused at this.
Many thanks
Yours
