Heyhey,
i am looking for a way to create PD-patches on linux without X, without the standard PD-GUI ( mainly because my XBOX has only 64MB RAM and I want to reduce overhead ) Does anybody knows about a PD-ASCII-UI, ncurses or so? like alsamixer for example...
hope I didn't missed a previous discussion on this topic... peace&love mart
Hallo!

You can load/make PD-Patches with python (xmlrpc) and drive pd with -nogui or you use pdsend in a shell. But I think really building patches without the PD GUI will be a little bit hard ...

well, i think mart is not talking about a pd without a gui but about a pd with a simpler (text) ui, which would nevertheless allow patching.
i think the answer is unfortunately "no", there is no such thing (except if you can do patching with a text-editor, but this again is no pd "gui")
but you could run the pd-gui on another machine (with more ressources), if that helps.

hello,
...yes: what would be handy to have is a realtime interface where i can patch connection between objects (i think creating objects in a text environment may not be too complicated...) ...and have some meters and slides (like alsamixer)
but I think it will be also ok to develop the patch on a fast machine, send it over to the XBOX or whatever low-performance host start pd with no-gui and have an external interface (which i will have to write first, probably) which communicates with PD in some way (pd send , OSC) maybe i can rip code from alsamixer and make it send out values via pdsend...
or is it possible to have the pd-server running on one machine (without gui) and control it from antoher with the pd GUI?
thanks mart

that was my suggestion: run pd (the "audio-engine") on one machine nad pd-gui on another machine. this should work fine (pd and pd-gui communicate via network anyhow) another solution is of course, to have on "pd -nogui" running on your slow host and communicate via FUDI/OSC with a "normal" pd on another machine.
