midi on windows is my main sticking point. if people care about the the windows version, why is midi on windows /still/ 'dangerous'? surely midi control is fundamental to serious performance-based usage of a program like pd?
Is MIDI "really" broken? Because despite those messages, I've never had problems running MIDI with PD. Perhaps this message is not current? For instance, I got great results feeding generative stuff from PD into Ableton which I used to host some VST's. I left this program running all day and night and it was still running great in the morning*. (There are things that mysteriously crash PD all the time though). One reason NOT to use Max/MSP on the PC: it seems to run much better on Mac than on PC last I saw. For example, on PC, in order to get a video stream from a webcam into jitter, it requires a third party app that converts the video to a quickstream format. And guess what, a typical Logitech webcam off the shelf, just doesn't work with this third party app. The same webcam worked great, and immediately, under PD+gem for me on win32. ~David _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
