BTW what version of Pd are you running (and you also on windows 7)??
I'm using latest version of pd-extended under vista but last stable should be ok
Where do you expect to have 'multiple input/output' ?
In the Media -> audio setup (ASIO)? Maybe I am assuming wrongly
no that's it, you can get multichannels with asio drivers only, the othere ones are separated pairs
if I use FIREFACE asio I can use [dac~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13
14 15 16 17 18]
and [adc~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18]
Ok the patch I received for the piece has [dac~ 1 2 3 4]... but I only
get 2 channels of output (I have to use the ADAT for both input and output). I also only get 2 outputs when I try the Test Audio and midi
[dac 1 2 3 4] are analog out, adat should be the last eight outputs
which I see uses separate dacs [dac~ 1] [dac~ 2] etc.
just make sure that drivers are not already used by windows system,
because it could make
this unstable.
That this include the Fireface 'mixer' thing?
yes, usually it works, but with using [vst~] I have more chance to make it working when windows isn't using RME drivers
I tried some command line switches but to no avail and had to fall back to stereo.
The only command line I use is about setting -asio -audiobuff
-audioindev -audiooutdev
when starting pd from a batch file, just to be sure to use asio
fireface with low latency and all input/output
but pd would save those settings once it has been applied through pd
audio dialog.
I have sometimes to use pd -listdev to check out where the hell
are FIREFACE asio
because audio device number are often moving whenever I have other
drivers enabled or not,
but I've heard about some solutions to get/set it from a patch, maybe IOhannes could give some hints about this.
-listdev spit out a list of inputs and outputs in couples (I am remembering by memeory) something like: ADAT (1+2) Fireface etc. in a very strange order.
Again very inprobable I'll manage to have time to hack on the patch :(
yes this strange order is a reason why there should be something else to always get the same device but it's more a job for the devs
Be sure you don't have jackdmp installed because it is conflictual
with last portaudio release.
No jack* on that machine
I wonder what is the smallest latency I can reliably expect with
this
setup.
The smallest latency I've been able to use with pd is about twice
the buffer size
I could get with any audio interface, something about
2*buffersize/samplerate in seconds
Ok.
Guess I really miss jack (audio) :(

Hey Pd-ers,
This is an (kinda) urgent help call for Windows users.
I've been asked to do a live elecronics (with live instrument
input)
with a patch made for Pd-0.40.3-extended (indicated by the
author).
The (99% un-changable) setup is machine with Windows XP connected
to
a
Fireface 400 @ 44100.
I installed Pd with no problem and the device is seen under the
ASIO
devices but I can only see pairs of two.
How do you see this?
With -listdev and if I open the ASIO or audio settings menu in the Media menu.
So my question are:
- how do I set the thing set-up to 1 in 4 out? (I'm used to jack
on
linux where I simply specify the channels and then can route them through jack)
Do you have fireface working under linux???????
Nooo!!!! The machine and sound cards are not mine! This is a set-up at
the conservatoire concert hall for the piece I have to do the live electronics. I'm using the windows machine as the patch needs two [vst~]
But... It looks like there is very experimental support for Fireface in latest bleeding edge ffado.. Again I don't own and RME so I don't know
what the status is.
Thanks, Lorenzo
- How do I get the lowest latency possible (ideally<= 8 ms) on
such
a
setup?
Thanks in advice for any help. Lorenzo.
