After all what follows from select is nothing more than a bang while symbol bang would be intercepted anyways. There are probably very few cases where one would actually need to differentiate between bang and symbol bang using [select], but it seems like bad design to let two distinct messages trigger the same behavior in an object whose sole purpose is to differentiate messages from each other. At the same time I think having to cover bang to symbol bang just to have it selectable by select does not seem very intuitive to me. How would you even do that in the first place if there's more than just a bang coming into that inlet, e.g. a bang and float values? You couldn't use [symbol] before it as that would trash float values. Outputting the message from [textfile] (which has its own problems because it outputs anything instead of list), then something like [list-drip]. Splitting the message up in the list domain ensures that you won't lose data since everything is treated as a list. So if there is the word bang somewhere in the middle of the message it will come out of [list-drip] (or a home-brewed one using [list split]) as list bang which gets interpreted by [select] as a symbol message. That's the only way to parse a text file in Pd without running into errors (although you'll still lose data, for example, if consecutive whitespaces are needed, or special characters that Pd escapes, etc.). -Jonathan ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

If you wanted it done at setup time, you would have to modify the function that calls the setup function (I don't know what it is or how it's done--please tell me) so you would follow the setup function and add default methods. not sure whether i totally understand what you mean by setup time (and setup function) here. the function that calls the setup function does not do anything special (it just calls an entry point in a dll). especially, it does notmake any assumptions what this setup function is going to perform (though in most cases it will register some classes). so, the only function that needed to be changed would be the generic class-creator function class_new(). nevertheless i don't see what this would solve with respect to the current behaviour. i can imagine that the problems you are trying to solve are caused by Pd's automatic conversions between different types (e.g. [list 12( and [float 12(). if you removed all those conversions, you would immediately get your desired behaviour. and people would start complaining why the following gives an error [sin]: no method for 'list'. [1 2 3( | [list split 1] | [sin] this can of course be fixed by simply adding an explicit list method to [sin], which does the right thing. but all the problems that arise because of the automatic message conversion can already be solved by adding explicit methods for messages you don't want to be autoconverted. btw, i think something really nice to have would be per-object methods (as oppposed to per-class methods). for this to work, the object would need a copy of the class method table (rather than a reference). fgamsdr IOhannes -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAlEvFakACgkQkX2Xpv6ydvS4vgCfa5l8LEuR8IhDQdqPtH/VE7qX 860An0vDf9w36U/I4qxD7si1pLX5CVT4 =9kvD -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] bang vs empty list
BTW, the only regression with this is that [select] object complains it does not understand bang. I've patched it so that when it receives a bang it redirects it to sel1_symbol and sel2_symbol with a gensym(bang). This also means that [sel b] would not work for bangs, but [sel bang] will.

I wonder if we could as part of the setup call for each external somehow infer default behaviors for each object e.g.: something_bang() { Error(this inlet does not support bang message\n); } etc. Then if that particular object has another addmethod after it referencing its own genuine bang (or whatever) method, such call would override the original.

Re: [PD] bang~ event resolution

If I am attempting to send a message every 8msec (5.51 dsp blocks), will the event actually be sent, rendered, and perceived to occur every 8msec or will it be rounded up to the next block ( #6 ) at 8.7msec? If you send the message from a clock-object like [metro] it will be sent every 8 msec. Rendered and perceived are ambigous terms here that don't have much value without additional info on what exactly you mean by them (best do a patch). 2. If an event is scheduled to occur every 1.50msec, will it be scheduled in time every 1.50msec or every 2.90msec? It will be scheduled every 1.5 msec. Or rather, it will be scheduled whenever Pd thinks it has time to schedule it, but you can depend on it to happen every 1.5 msec of Pd's internal scheduler time, not at some other time. Pd has an internal clock, which is what drives [metro], [delay], [pipe], [timer] and some other objects. This clock time is as accurate as the resolution of numbers in Pd is (32 bit) and it is not quantized to any blocks. However the difficulties start as soon as you convert from messages to audio signals (and back). Most dsp objects in Pd operate on block boundaries, so they are quantized. For example if you try to build a fake phasor~ from a [line~] object and a fast [metro], the frequency will jitter around the block size. Often this doesn't matter (because you'd use a phasor~ anyway), but if it should matter, you have to use one of the special audio objects that correctly interpret clock-messages without any block quantization. Instead of [line~] you just use [vline~] and your fake phasor~ will be perfectly in tune. You don't need to do anything special when just dealing with messages without conversions to dsp. Note that events coming from the GUI (mouse clicks) are quantized to be read every 64 samples.

Hallo, Martin Peach hat gesagt: // Martin Peach wrote: If your message rate is faster than the sample block rate you get multiple messages arriving at the same time. But still each of these messages knows its own distinct scheduler time and can tell that time to a signal object that asks for it, like [vline~] does, which then can delay each of the messages accordingly. In the end, even the messages that arrive in the same block may trigger signal actions at different times.

Re: [PD] bang~ event resolution
brandon zeeb wrote: Hello, With regards to the block limit thread and the following previous discussion [1], I have a question regarding event timing resolution in Puredata. In the previous email thread, it was noted: What is also interesting, is that i get the double value of 2.9 msec for blocksizes above 64, for example 65 and above. There are no adc~ or dac~ objects or any subpatches in this setup. Does this mean that the resolution of a bang is in _multiples_ of 1.45msec? For example: 1. If I am attempting to send a message every 8msec (5.51 dsp blocks), will the event actually be sent, rendered, and perceived to occur every 8msec or will it be rounded up to the next block ( #6 ) at 8.7msec? 2. If an event is scheduled to occur every 1.50msec, will it be scheduled in time every 1.50msec or every 2.90msec? I've read the pertinent section of Miller's Theory and Technique of Electronic Music, but I guess this is one small bit I'm still hung up on. It averages out to the interval you specify (as long as the interval is longer than an audio block), but time is quantized to the duration of an audio block, because messages are sent at the end of the audio block during which they logically occur. So in case 1 you would get a sequence of 5 and 6 block intervals that averages out to 5.51. If your message rate is faster than the sample block rate you get multiple messages arriving at the same time.

Re: [PD] bang~ =64 samples
Bang~ goes off at 64-sample intervals (1.45 msec) - but for instance a 0.725 msec delay would sync a message to 32 sample into a 64 sample buffer.

Re: [PD] bang when phasor~ reaches 1
Hallo, padawan12 hat gesagt: // padawan12 wrote: I guess just because they drift off. Or at least you cant be sure of keeping them together. Sometimes you want a whole bunch of things to all happen synchronously, to all happen in the same phase every time. An example is the paf~ algorithm, and here's little drum machine example attached. So you usually have just one phasor that is your master timebase and derive everything from that. [metro] with [vline~] won't drift off, as I wrote in the previous mail, it is equivalent to [phasor~] and can almost be used as a drop-in replacement. ([metro] has an artificial lower period boundary of 1ms, but you can use a [delay] based metro-clone, if that is a problem.) The disadvantage of [metro~]/[vline~] is that you cannot change the frequency in a smooth way, because, as you write, [metro] generates discrete events. The advantage of [metro]/[vline~] is, that it is possible to reset the phase without getting errors from the 64-samples quantization that [phasor~]'s right inlet has: The phase of a [phasor~] can only be reset every 64 samples, that is with usual sample rates at a quantization of about 1.5 msec. This definitely can be a problem if you want a tight synching of sequences. I made a variation of your drum machine to illustrate this effect. One drumset here is driven by a [vhasor~] abstraction which almost is a [phasor~] clone, built with metro and vline~. If you let both patterns run together and switch on the phase-reset-metro you will get flanging effects which are the fault of the inaccuracy of the phase-inlet of the [phasor~] object.

If it doesn't pulp the atomic ops in your Pd installation, then there's something very wrong. ;) Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ __footils.org_ __goto10.org__ #N canvas 326 164 736 482 10; #N canvas 0 0 450 300 bm 0; #X restore 218 423 pd bm; #X obj 100 381 s pd-bm; #X msg 220 349 clear; #X obj 100 269 until; #X obj 100 200 t b b; #X floatatom 210 154 5 0 0 2 howmany - -; #X obj 100 146 bng 32 250 50 0 empty empty test-x 0 -6 0 8 -24198 -1 -1; #X obj 100 294 f 10; #X obj 133 293 + 20; #X msg 144 269 10; #X obj 494 248 until; #X obj 435 150 bng 24 250 50 0 empty empty run_test 0 -6 0 8 -225271 -1 -1; #X floatatom 435 297 8 0 0 1 milliseconds - -; #X obj 435 182 t b b b; #X obj 435 243 t b b; #X obj 435 274 cputime; #X obj 494 274 s BANG; #X floatatom 531 206 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X obj 100 327 pack 0 s; #X obj 211 268 list; #X symbolatom 211 291 10 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 100 348 obj 10 \$1 \$2; #X text 211 185 Which?; #X text 25 22 first select \, which and how many objects to create \, then create them in [pd bm] by pressing the big green bng.

Re: [PD] bang when phasor~ reaches 1
Hallo, padawan12 hat gesagt: // padawan12 wrote: Cool! We've discovered something very wrong. Maybe not, read on.

I was only testing bigger numbers at first. With a growing number of test objects I get a huge lead for [expr]. Here are some of my statistics (on a much faster machine): num bcplx ecplx --- 128 720 1170 2562780 2320 512 10430 5800 Now I'm wondering, if something became very wrong with [expr] ...

Re: [PD] bang when phasor~ reaches 1
The solution Marius offered is probably the most reliable. I've used Jamies [snapshot~] based solution in many cases it works fine, but sometimes misses a beat. It's because the blocksize (nominally 64) on which [snapshot~] operates may not contain the zero you're looking for. The thing you want is [delta~], but you can make your own arrangement with a [z~] and a [-~]. Basically look for any large dx/dt, not just negative, remember that a phasor can also be negative in slope, ie [phasor~ -100]. See also that as the frequency increases toward a high value eventually the solution will fail (each rising slope will be sufficiently fast to trigger the delta comparator. Theres probably a more elgant solution, I heard Martin Brinkman is a good chap to ask as he tends to work in the signal domain and derive his control messages. Any other ideas for a *reliable* detection of phase reset?
