Re: [PD] Licensing issues (was rjdj is gone, robotcowboy is coming ...)

2012-11-03 Thread Peter Kirn
Hello, I just want to chime in here. I don't think it's accurate to say pd-extended is GPL. pd-extended is essentially a distribution of externals, abstractions, and other conveniences. Obviously, developers are free to use what license they want. Yes, libpd and Pd-vanilla use an extremely

Specifically, the *only* function missing from the non-donation OSX version of Ardour is support for AudioUnit plugins on the Mac. I have no problem with the Ardour model of distribution, and AFAIK you can still use your package manager in almost any Linux distro to avoid even being asked to

Well, how literally ? objectmaker is the collection of all object-creation methods (creators) of all classes. objectbox contents are considered to be messages to be sent to objectmaker. What is $1 substituting to ? is $1 happening to be standing for a symbol, by mistake ? See my other message

Hi Joe, Okay, I'm now certain that what's going wrong is entirely in the abstraction being made polyphonic - and it isn't, as I thought, u_dispatch with symbols or lists; that's fine. For instance, if I replace the example for u_makepoly, using s_buzz in place of s_rhodey, I get similar answers.

Brinkmann recently described on his blog - http://bit.ly/egBGV2 2. Perhaps there's a way to do this using an abstraction? nqpoly, etc., I believe did this, but it seems it's not supported - and may not be the best approach? Thanks, Peter PETER KIRN | http://createdigitalmusic.com | ny, ny | pe

Thanks, everyone. So, patko, I gather poly alone should work -- I'd just multiplex messages, so long as there are two arguments? Hans, I gather the Rj version u_makepoly is now the newest. It's looking great, though I ran into one hitch - right now, with the abstraction I built it's giving me

Okay, I'm with others here - what is Chris on this time? I can see three complaints: 1. Ugly UI (fine.) 2. Lack of persistence of audio interface settings. Actually, two comments here on that -- first, of course, you can set this as a command-line

I have some code that allows you to cache incoming events (eg: from [netreceive]) and dispatch them all at once in 0 logical time.  I called it [bundle] because of the vague similarity to OSC bundles. Something like begin, foo, bar, baz, end  /* with arbitrary time between messages */  |
