Hi,
I used two years ago pd for my interactive installation 'Songlines' and now I'd like to know some things more about (on a linux box):
- is it possible to use multiple devices with pd ?
I'd like to use:
- RME Digi9636 (Hammerfall Lite) for audio I/O
- SB Live for the midi synth (if I want to use it)
- Motu MicroExpress for midi I/O
I know I can use RME and I've used it but I don't know how to configure pd to use the other devices (with Alsa, the drivers are almost OK).
- In the examples (for example 36.filter.floyd.pd), it seems that the
mtof object read a txt containing the 'tunings'. Is it possible to build an arbitrary tuning this way ? Am I right ? I need a just intonation table tuned at 50 hz.
Can somebody send me a good stereo or quad reverb patch ?
Can somebody send me a good chorus patch ?
Many thanks
Regards
Alessandro Fogar

This is not possible at the moment. The three supported interfaces (ALSA, OSS, RME) can only be used one at a time. It is possible that multiple interfaces can be supported with ALSA, but it is not currently. Also, the PD ALSA code is about to break as the ALSA developers have decided to make more changes to the API. I have some working code to do MMAP mode with ALSA but I have been sitting on it waiting for the dust to settle. What may be possible is multiple instances of PD using netsend/netreceive. Anybody have thoughts on this?

That should be possible. I also have a mtof that does just intonation (or anything else you want as long as it is 12 notes per octave) with an arbitrary A. It needs to be fixed up so that it is usable, though. I will try to find some time in the next two/three weeks to finish it up. Glad to know someone else is interested in this!

I like the reverb from 44.delay.reverb.pd and pd .30 comes with a reverb patch under extras. Both are stereo, though.

I've got one that someone else did - I will get him to post it to the list.
