I have suspected [envrms~] of wrecking the performance of my patches before (on a PowerBook G4). I was never quite sure if it was really [envrms~]'s fault until I discovered [unsig~ #] and never went back. [unsig~] will do what [envrms~] does, but also allows you to set the sample time in

I didn't try the patch, but I looked at the source code (current svn, revision 11896) briefly, and noticed that envrms~.c doesn't use CLASS_MAINSIGNALIN(), so maybe the dsp stuff isn't initialized correctly. That's interesting, and I think it is a clue to what is going on, but it is

Re: [PD] how to deploy PD in a server?

2009-08-09 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner
That sounds like rewriting Pd in Java or AJAX so that it could run in a browser. Not a small undertaking. Its easy enough to install it, plus you don't have to 'officially' install Pd to run it, you can just copy the files somewhere and run it from there. .hc Adityo Pratomo wrote: Hi

Re: [PD] multiple gamepads with hid

2009-08-09 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner
There is a hardcoded limit in hid, I think its 32 or 64 devices. I think that each OS has a limit too. A USB bus also has a limit of about 128, IIRC. But something like 10 or 20 gamepads should be no problem. .hc Derek Holzer wrote: Unless there is a hardcoded limit in [hid] this

That's a good point and a tough question. It should be consistently documented, but its not totally clear how. My guess right now, says that atom selectors should not be considered an 'element'. So these would be both 3 element lists: list one two three 1 2 3 Check the Pd Definitions

I think you'll have to bug the PdCon MTL and pdgraz people to get those numbers. You can count on me to order at least two. And make sure you have enough womens' sizes too (i.e. small, xs, etc.) At PdCon MTL they ran out of the women's sizes first. .hc harris_pil...@gmx.de wrote: all in
