Hi,
I am quite new to PD, having been mostly a jMax user for the last year or so.
I'm running PD successfully on Irix 6.5. I need to receive messages sent from a web form.
Did anyone successfully compile the pdsend and pdreceive linux utilities on Irix? That would make the above considerably easier.
I would be as grateful if anyone has good pointers or insight on how to do the above.
Thanks!
hi,
i have a question about dsp buffers. i noticed that the input and output buffer pointers are the same in all the cases that i encountered. i was wondering if this is true in general or do you have to check for it explicitly if you want to do in-place calculations? (saves a copy operation).
now that i think about it, if the input is sent to another object later on, it will probably reserve a new buffer. is this true in general? this probably has to do with the s_isborrowed member of t_signal.. can someone shine a light on this?
thanks, tom
hi,
to complete my query: is there any way to ensure that the input and output buffers of a dsp routine are different to avoid te use of an extra buffer inside the patch for algos that can't be implemented 'left to right' (i.e a permutation)?
tom
Tom,
I didn't answer this before because I wasn't certain, but maybe a wrong answer from me will prompt someone to correct me :) As far as I know you cannot force separate input and output buffers. This is not normally a problem, though - what are you implementing?

karl,
i just implemented a lifted biorthogonal wavelet transform. it does the calculation in place, but the output needs to be permuted to be readable. to compute the permutation it is easier to have 2 separate buffers but i found an algorithm that can do it in place. i first thought this was not possible to do but it turns out to be not that difficult.
the algo:
START for k <- 1 step 1 until n do begin l <- f(k); while l < k do l <- f(l); (S[k],S[l]) <- (S[l],S[k]); end; HALT
f(k) is the permutation.
i am working on a dynamical wavetable synthesis method. the wavetable that is read out is the output of a slowly varying dynamical system. it is inspired by a recently introduced method called 'scanned synthesis'. if the system is discreet and linear you can analyse it in a state space framework. i use the wavelet transform as a special case of this setup. the wavetable then a dynamicly changing linear combination of wavelets.

There's no way to ensure either that they'll be the same, nor that they'll be different. This isn't an issue in things like the "+~" module, but there's fancy footwork needed in the FFT routines to deal with that.
