[PD] pd on Vista: MIDI latency
Does anyone have experience running pd with MIDI input on Windows Vista? I am experiencing ~1 second latency in receiving control data from a Behringer BCD2000 midi controller. It's not a device driver issue - the latency is not present when receiving data from the BCD in Processing with the proMIDI library. Here are my configuration details: * Windows Vista Business on a new Dell Precision workstation * Pure Data 0.39.2-extended-rc3 * Behringer BCD2000, Driver version v1.1.1.0, installed in XP compatibility mode Test patch (just a ctlin node with three number nodes connected to outlets): #N canvas 0 0 454 304 10; #X obj 306 79 ctlin; #X floatatom 288 117 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 323 117 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom 359 117 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X connect 0 0 1 0; #X connect 0 1 2 0; #X connect 0 2 3 0; I'd be thankful for any hints or other experience reports. -Bjoern -- Bjoern Hartmann Human Computer Interaction Group Stanford University ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Control X,Y position of main Pd window at startup?
Is there a way to control at which position the main Pd window appears on the screen on startup? For an individual patch, I can write desired values into the canvas definition line "#N canvas X Y ..." in the patch's pd file - but what about the main window/console? I suspect this may be possible by hacking pd.tk, but as I'm unfamiliar with Tcl/Tk I don't quite know where to look. I'm running Pd version 0.39.2-extended-rc3 on Win XP (gave up on Vista for now). -- Bjoern Hartmann Human Computer Interaction Group Stanford University ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Control X,Y position of main Pd window at startup?
I'll answer my own question - in file pd.tk, at the end of the "main window set up" section, after lines wm title . "Pd" . configure -menu .mbar -width 200 -height 150 add the following line to control main window position at startup: wm geometry . +x+y where (x,y) is the offset in pixels from the top left corner of the screen. So "wm geometry . +0+0" puts the pd main window in the top left corner of the leftmost screen. The relevant Tk manual page is: http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tk/wm.html -- Bjoern Hartmann Human Computer Interaction Group Stanford University ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
