Re: [PD] can't setup midi device - maybe alsa is missing.
Have a look at what ls /dev/midi* gives you. You may have to link the midi device to one that PD can recognise. I have to do this every time, before I start PD: sudo ln -s /dev/midi1 /dev/midi -e Lone Shark: Synchromatic: Out December 1st 2008 http://www.pyramidtransmissions.com/store Also available through the iTunes store --- On Fri, 17/4/09, IOhannes m zmoelnig zmoel...@iem.at wrote: From: IOhannes m zmoelnig zmoel...@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] can't setup midi device - maybe alsa is missing.

The alsa Aconnectgui interface doesn't list pd as a midi device either, so my guess is that i missed something while installing. start pd with -alsamidi (or select alsa-midi from the media-settings) by default, Pd uses OSS midi, that's why you won't see it at aconnectgui. fgmar IOhannes ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] Need help for presenting workshop
a really good way to practically demonstrate PD is to build a simple patch in front of people. maybe practice building that patch a couple of times before you do the presentation. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Looks pretty useful. Also a great structures example. Thanks.

Re: [PD] Need help for presenting workshop
Yes, definitely, the way I teach now is have everyone in the workshop build a patch at the same time as I bulid it on the main screen. Then I go around and help everyone get it working. Then they all get it working at the end. There are lots of materials you can use, here are two good resources: http://puredata.info/docs/workshops http://en.flossmanuals.net/puredata I attached my favorite Pd hello world patch, it is a very simple ring modulator on your voice. hello world.pd Description: Binary data .hc On Apr 17, 2009, at 7:58 AM, hard off wrote: a really good way to practically demonstrate PD is to build a simple patch in front of people. maybe practice building that patch a couple of times before you do the presentation. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list http://at.or.at/hans/ ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Need help for presenting workshop
When I have been involved with beginning level workshops for both Processing and PD the approach Hans and hard off suggest is definitely the best. Miller taught a workshop here a while ago where he had the students build several small patches, each subsequent patch used some part of the previous as a starting point so students got some sense of continuity and learned a method by which they could continue to work after the class - it gave them a small toolbox to work with later. Golan Levin and Casey Reas each do the something similar to introduce Processing.

[PD] abstraction creation audio engine start
Hi All, Does anybody know how to solve that one (see below)? I found it posted awhile ago but (it seems that) it didn't get any reply. Now I'm having the same problem. Did anybody find a way around that? Any thoughts are very welcome. Cheers! -- Pd-message abstraction creation doesn't start the audio within the abstraction Okay, another bug using the Pd messages to create objects. If you place an abstraction within a patch using a obj x y abstraction| message, the audio for the abstraction doesn't actually function until you connect two tilde objects within the abstraction; only then does it magically come to life.

Re: [PD] symbolarray
hey frank.. i was meaning to contact you a while ago about this.. i have previously built a hashing table for lists.. i have attached a package with the necessary abstractions, and a small help file. i scratched this together quite quickly for a project deadline, i guess it shares some of the behaviour of zexy's msgfile, but it is by no means feature identical. anyhow, i built this before i discovered your list-abs project, and as there would be a lot of shared behaviour between your abstractions and the ones i'm using internally here, it would probably benefit from having the internals ported across, and hopefully included within the list-abs toolset. so perhaps you may be interested in a bit of a collaboration? this is not something i'm very precious about, but its something i get a fair bit of use out of and could definitely benefit from a bit of a clean up. hope you're well :) cheers, dmotd On Friday 17 April 2009 23:52:33 you wrote: Hallo, lsw hat gesagt: // lsw wrote: Looks pretty useful.
