[PD] OSX and pd-extended 0.43.1

2011-07-06 Thread Si Mills
Hi Hans

Are the builds for os x functional at the moment?

I've just downloaded the latest 0.43.1 and it tried to open; the post window 
flashes up and immediately it quits.

Tested on 10.6.7

thanks

Re: [PD] Jack OSX latest beta and Pd jack midi

Very true, I have used this method fairly successfully although jitter is 
unavoidable. What this new beta brings to the table however is sample accurate 
midi as it creates a bridge between core midi and jack.

Re: [PD] smartphone advice

SO this is certainly interesting

When you say Pd builds for Android and iphone, but no audio, what does  
that mean? THe pd gui works?


I have a feeling, in the end, i might play devils advocate and go with  
the android phone.

THere are a number of developments in this regard:

- Pd (pd-gui-rewrite 0.43 branch) now builds directly for Android  
and Apple iPhoneOS.  Maemo should be pretty easy too.  No audio yet,  
but that's in the works.


- Pd has been available in the Debian-armel branch for a while, that  
means lots of devices if you are willing to install your own OS.   
You can install Debian in parallel with Android.


- you can build PDa to run on a wide range of free distros, like  
Maemo, Familiar, Angstrom, OpenMoko, reware for ipods, Palms, etc.


rjdj runs well on iPhoneOS, so that means Pd can be made to work  
well there.  Android will take a fair amount of work to get up to  
the same level, but in the long run will probably be easier since  
the platform is a lot more open.

Is there any sort of external that allows you to write a text based

arrays to create objects and  can be a real time saver (500 [osc~]

[PD] Array Enhancements

2009-09-10 Thread Si Mills

Hi Hans/DEv Tem

I have a couple of ideas for the Array/Table object, mainly visual:

Hide Array name - doesn't seem to be working.
Would it be possible to limit the array vertically? This would make  
manually entering values for a sequencer more usable.
Allow a step value for each slider, so selecting increments is easier   
- I guess an Array in Pd is a array of multi-sliders in a sense

Expand appearance - the array indexes could be solid bars
Event listeners - so onMouseUp over an array could trigger something
Colour properties!


I know this is probably flawed for I know not the inner technical  
workings of Pd, or for its purposes, there are other more suitable  
methods for gui interaction, but is any of this possible?

[PD] pdj, mxdublin and -schedlib on os x

Hi

For those that don't know what mxdublin is, its a java gui tracker  
sequencer, check this out:
http://www.le-son666.com/software/mxdublin/index.html - its looks  
pretty interesting.


I'm having a few teething troubles getting pdj and mxdublin to work. I  
can get pdj to work the test examples, so I know the whole Java  
connection is cool. The problem seems to be when instantiating [pdj  
mxdublin]. Now it is clearly documented that to run a Swing OSC gui in  
Pd on OS X, one has to reschedule the java gui thread through use of  
the -schedlib startup flag. In the pdj docs, it says there is a bug in  
PD that crashes it on startup, so there is a patch for Pd that the  
author has distributed to remedy this.


Lo and behold, Pd is crashing on startup, so I need to fix this.

What I can't work out is:
a) how to use the *.patch file
a) Does the current latest stable version of Pd-extended 0.41.4 need  
this patch?


Any help much appreciated. This will be way cool (i hope) if I can get  
it working

cpu meter? Switch back on reduces it...

[PD] Jack OS X/audio off - uses more cpu??

2008-12-16 Thread Si Mills
Hi

Has anyone notice this:

start Pd in Jack mode - cpu is ~0%
turn on audio - cpu is still ~0%
turn off audio - cpu jumps up to ~30%
turn on audio - cpu falls back to ~0%

what can this be?

 any ideas ?

was it fftease?  http://www.sarc.qub.ac.uk/~elyon/LyonSoftware/MaxMSP/FFTease/

 I am about to buy ableton live, i remember someone made something that

I think the ones on that page were compiled for ppc

you need the intel build ones, which oddly don't feature on there... 
(although the source is if you want to roll your own)


Download intel ones here then install as normal like the ppc package

Also, at least one of the authors is not studying any longer, his e-

On an older G4 the library loads but I can't get the links to the

 Ardour is going to support midi (currently only in svn) - didn't try  
 it
 yet, but I will do soon. Interface looks very usable on screenshots.

 Midi editing in EnergyXT2 was also fine - but it can't send midi until
 now as far as i know. It's nonfree (about 50$):
 piano roll, with blocks: yes
 drag start and end points to control noteon/noteoff points: yes
 (doubleclick creates new notes)
 quantize to a grid of any size you want (and off): yes hot-key: yes
 lines down the bottom control velocity: yes
 super-intuitive scroll: yes (mouswheel + keyboard)
 super-intuitive zoom: yes, but no vertical zoom (?)
 ability of fullscreen editing in a separate window: yes, but I wasn't
 able to expand distinct tracks, but I think that's possible too.

 Qtractor seemed to be very usable too in current version (0.2.0, build
 2008/08/10):
 piano roll, with blocks: yes
 drag start and end points to control noteon/noteoff points: yes
 quantize to a grid of any size you want (and off): yes hot-key: no  
 (or i
 didn't find it)
 lines down the bottom control velocity: yes
 super-intuitive scroll: yes (mouswheel + keyboard)
 super-intuitive zoom: yes, but no mouse-wheel-shortcut
 ability of fullscreen editing in a separate window

 Currently I'm using Mackie Tracktion (using wine under Linux) for midi
 recording and editing, but its GUI is too CPU consuming for bigger
 projects.
 piano roll, with blocks: yes
 drag start and end points to control noteon/noteoff points: yes
 quantize to a grid of any size you want (and off): no fixed gridsize,
 but changing gridsize at different zoom-levels (very intuitive) hot- 
 key:
 yes
 lines down the bottom control velocity: yes
 super-intuitive scroll: yes (mouswheel + keyboard)
 super-intuitive zoom: yes
 ability of fullscreen editing in a separate window: no

 -Working but not my flavour of using a Sequencer (didn't try velocity

 What makes you sad about Pd sequencers? Maybe it's fixable.


 have you ever used Ableton's MIDI sequencer? it's a piano roll,  
 with blocks
 for notes. drag start and end points to control noteon/noteoff  
 points.
 quantize to a grid of any size you want (switchable with a hot-key)  
 or turn
 off quantization completely to finetune timing (for that little  
 'humanized'
 extra, whatever that might mean). super-intuitive scroll and zoom  
 with a
 single mouse button drag in the top. the main features in this i'm
 interested in is the quantization grid control, and the ability to  
 super
 fine-tune note durations.

 lines down the bottom control velocity. if you have two notes on  
 the piano
 roll trigger at the same time, it's super-easy to choose which note's
 velocity you're editing.

 i don't believe it's do-able in Pd, not without a ridiculous amount  
 of
 work, and i'm too lazy to do the work myself (and if i wasn't, i'd  
 do it
 from scratch in a different programming language eg Processing or C+ 
 +,
 rather than fighting Tcl/Tk).


 Why not run three instances of midifile or even textfile with the  
 same
 data?


 yes, this is what i'm already doing. the problem is generating said
 midifile/textfiles in the first place.


 - easy access to velocity and note duration

 Do you mean that the thing should output the duration at the same  
 time
 as the note-on, or the file should be readable in a text editor?


 no, i mean that i should be able to easily see and edit the  
 duration and
 the velocity without having to think or do much work. see above..

[PD] jack_transport from CVS

2008-08-11 Thread Si Mills

HI

I was interested this weekend to tryout [jack_transport] from  
externals/tb/jack_transport in the cvs repository.


As there as no binary for OSX, it decided to embark on compiling the  
source, so I downloaded XCode 2.5 and the  jack_transport package with  
a cvs client.


There doesn't seem to be a ./configure file, only makefile. Is it  
missing something, or do I need to install additional libraries?


I should point out that I have never built from source on osx, so I  
really don't have a clue what to do!! If someone has built this for  
OSx already that would be very helpful :-) or if someone could give me  
some helpful pointers that would be great.


all the best

[PD] Fwd: finding the cause of clicks when using sssad WAS: saving state of a patch

2008-07-23 Thread Si Mills
I hope im not misunderstanding, but doesn't the s-abstraction way of  
using 'datastore' to change presets eliminate dropouts - Why is there  
a need for a ram disk? I mean is there a lag between hitting the giant  
message box and updating all the abstractions?

I was inspired the other day by a Max discussion on the pattr object,  
which is used for state saving. This in turn can be used from  
arranging pieces to to creating very nice random instruments that  
flick between presets very quickly...

Is this a problem for sssad at the moment?

 all my

 The ramdisk thing is definitely handy, I just hope that sssad can be

 is?

 Hey,

 Could you post the model info an CPU info to the bug report?  You  
 can find this info under the Apple menu, then About This Mac,  
 then click the More Info button.

 These fields are all useful:

 Model Name
 Model Identifier
 Processor Name
 Processor Speed

 And anything else you want to add.

 Hi

 I've noted a couple of bugs:

 the external in the library to fix it.
 * [freeverb~] produces no sound

 Hey,

 Could you try today's build and report back?

 i would like to see you getting a physical grip on the tilde in the  
 library...


 honestly: does it mean that you have to rename the file?

Re: [PD] a general discussion about which software to learn: pd, max, both... or else?

2007-10-15 Thread Si Mills
I came to Pd from SuperCollider. SC is very powerful and can sound  
amazing. Its power lies in the fact it is a object orientated  
language - if you want 500 oscillators you can just change a  
variable, rather than having to patch it by hand. I found I could do  
algorithmic stuff very easily as the system lended itself to do this..


What it is not imo, is user friendly, which is why I picked up Pd.   
It became a headache when i wanted to use a gui to construct a  
sequencer of somethingthat in itself requires a different mind  
set to lay it out. Pd or Max is fairly intuitive in this regard and  
thus quicker to knock up new ideas. I guess I lost patience with it  
because i would reach a brick wall and not finish ideas which is very  
unconstructive. It was more- time head buried in documentation and  
not enough results..I felt life was too short!! (sorry). Also not  
coming from a programming background i guess didn't help/


I f there was a bridge for SC like the csound one, that would be very  
nice. Using Pd for data structure and using some of SCs ugens..

Take a look in SuperCollider. I used Max/MSP and
CSound before, IMO you can do more with less effort once
you learn this programming language (yes, it is a true programming  
language)
Once you finished your patch it is also easy to modify and change  
comparing

to max/msp. I like it.

 I'm a stage/audiovisual technician willing to make a move into
 digital arts. I've been using pd for quite some time know and I was
 wondering if it would be useful for me to learn Max: according to
 you guys, which of the two programs seems to be most widely used,
 most popular, most promising in terms of future devellopements? Is
 it worth to be good in both or to become excellent (whatever that
 means...) in one of them? Is there another platform out there that
 would be worth giving a look (outside of the established stuff like
 pro tools, final cut, photoshop etc...) Thank you for your answers.

I once took a workshop in Max/MSP and it was very boring: I already
knew everything except that [osc~] is called [cycle~] in Max.

The nice thing about both Max and Pd is that the programmes themselves
are very simple tools. What you *really* learn when you learn one of
them are things like algorithms, DSP techniques, composition theory,
computer graphics, geometry etc. or more generally: ideas, and these
aren't tied to a specific software or language.

I think it's good for a Pd user to also know a bit about Max, but IMO
you don't need ot buy a copy of it, instead you should have the
documentation pdfs (Max/MSP reference etc.) on your disk and maybe
even read them from time to time.

Ciao
