[PD] Automating startup

2013-01-12 Thread Rick Bragg
Hi,

I would like to set up my system to set up my patch automatically with jack and 
all
the right connections when the system boots. I am using Ubuntu studio at the
moment.

I currently have it set so that qjackctl starts when I log in, and I set 
qjackctl
to automatically start up jack server when it opens, and then to open my pd file
after it starts.

I have a few problems to overcome.

First, every time pd starts, I need to go into the "Media" menu and change from
"Default MIDI" to "Alsa MIDI"  Why do I have to change this every time?  
Shouldn't
this setting be saved?

Second problem:
After pd opens, I always need to go back to qjackctl, open up the the 
"connections"
and change the MIDI connections.  Can't I save this as a patchbay setting 
somehow? 
I tried that, but it doesn't work because the patchbay settings need to load 
AFTER
pd starts  otherwise the pd connections are not available.

Are there any good documentation somewhere that discusses automating all this 
kind
of stuff?

Thanks!
Rick

[PD] My guitar / PD rig for live performance

2013-01-08 Thread Rick Bragg
Hi Everyone,

I made a patch for my guitar rig that I use for live performance.  Some if it is
very specific to my setup, but there is also a sound-on-sound sub-patch, and a 
dual
stereo loadable playback sub-patch and a custom preset system.  If you can 
think of
any improvements please let me know!
