Re: [PD] Help with patch needed: keyname/route + textfile/gem

Hi James,

1. Using keyname, the number keys don't work with route - why is this?

Character keys and the Function keys work fine, but I would like to use the number keys as well.

Number keys work with [key], however then they are ASCII value, which you would have to translate (maybe via a lookup to a [textfile] or [col] object) to their actual names.

3. I just tried running the gem window and triggering the sample at the

same time and the audio was stuttering constantly! Any ideas for a solution?

Bigger buffer/latency perhaps, but the best way is to separate the GEM and the audio threads by running two instances of Pd, one with -noaudio for GEM and the other for audio, and then use OSC or netsend/netreceive to communicate between the two running instances. A shell script of some kind would be best to start both instances with the proper patches.

Best! D.
