Hi,

I wonder how I can use my MIDI Keyboard with PD. I tried to test MIDI with the testtone patch, but it didnt work.

I have installed the easyinstaller for OSX made by Adam T. Lindsay. And my MIDI Keyboard is correctly installed, which I can see at the MIDI Option Toolapplication of OSX. It works under OS9 with OMS and Logic.

I also tried to typed in:

pd -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 2

but didnt change anything.

maybe I missed complety something of the basics of handling with the OSX terminal?......

thanking for helping me with getting to know PD...

P.S "To get MIDI working, you have to do the Mac OSX magic {whats that??????? maybe thats the point?} to get a USB MIDI interface installed. I've seen this done with Midisport devices and I think you just download the OSX driver and follow directions.

On the machine I tried, it was necessary to type, pd -midiindev 1 -midioutdev 2 to get MIDI working. " (from: PD Documentation)

hi,

the zero-logical-time-no-externs way might be sketched so:

'<size>'->[t 0 b]->[until]/'set 0'->[counter]->[t 0 0]->[tabread]->[tabwrite]

if using externs, besides vasp's (preferred), there is/was the vex way too:

'gen empty, form add <from>' -> [vex <to>]

Btw, I am thinking about face-lifting vex somewhat before/if it goes to sf (probably adding more Csound gens, now the beast is lgpled, finishing the vex.pool/vex.bulk stuff, etc.). Not sure, though, if this is really a good idea... I mean, Pd is going to grow into a 1001 externals monster soon...

If it doesn't have to be instantaneous you can use tabplay~ and tabwrite~ Just bang them together and the sample will be transferred.

thanks,

this seems to me the easiest way to implement what i wanted. i will let you know if i find any problem. it looks like it works so far.

Yeah, that's right... I don't know if it is a good idea to announce it on the list, but, anyway: at http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/maxlib/arraycopy.zip is a very fast hack I once made to copy data from one array to another. Only tested on Win2k (and today on OS X). Maybe it's usefull to anybody. Haven't tried it with large arrays yet since this might take to long for the copying to finish and cause audio drop outs.
