hi, seem to be having some dificulty specifying multiple input and output channels in the startup arguments. pd -listdev gives something like (this is from memory)
Audio Input #1: Creative Soundblaster Audio Input #2: M-Audio Delta 1010 Multichannel Audio Input #3: M-Audio Delta 1010 1/2 Audio Input #4: M-Audio Delta 1010 3/4 Audio Input #5: M-Audio Delta 1010 5/6 Audio Input #6: M-Audio Delta 1010 7/8 Audio Input #7: M-Audio Delta 1010 Mon Mixer Audio Input #8: M-Audio Delta 1010 SPDIF
(The outputs are the same...) clearly, I want to be using the Delta 1010.
for some reason, specifying pd.exe -asio -inchannels 3,4,5,6 -outchannels 3,4,5,6 means pd complains about illegal channel number, then takes a long time to register the quit command.
so I try: pd.exe -asio -inchannels 2 -outchannels 2
same thing. In fact, if I try specifying channel numbers, it complains. I can get the Delta 1010 to work only by not specifying any channel numbers, and altering windows' default device to be Delta 1010. it works, but only 1 stereo pair.
Any idea how to get multichannel I/O working??
cheers, M
Look at the output of pd -asio -listdev and run pd -asio -sounddev x -inchannels y -outchannels z (x, y and z are a single number)
btw. please turn off html for emails
good luck j#|@

thanks.
pd -asio -sounddev x -inchannels y -outchannels z (x, y and z are a single number)
single numbers? does this mean multichannel is not possible???

pd -asio -sounddev x -inchannels y -outchannels z (x, y and z are a single number)

Not at all.
This is what I use here with a layla24 for 8 channels I/O: pd -sounddev 1 -asio -channels 8 ("-channels 8" is the same as "-inchannels 8 -outchannels 8")
Using more than one ASIO driver simultanious is impossible. But one ASIO driver can provide multiple channels.

In case there are several asio drivers on a system (e.g. due to the asio drivers installed by cuabse / nuendo / wavelab or more than one soundcard with asio drivers) Pd automatically chooses the first one!!! To change this you have to open the registry (type 'regedit' at the dos prompt) and navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ASIO': You'll see an alphabetical list of your ASIO drivers. Pd chooses the first one (i.e. the one on top of the list). To get another driver to the top you have to change it's name to start with a character (or characters) that make it appear before all the others in the alphabetical order. Restart your system and try Pd again... BTW this trick works quite well with my motu828 to avoid using the steinberg 'faked' asio stuff with Pd...
good luck (and don't forget to change it back before (de-)installing any software related with your soundcard!), Olaf
