 So it seems like [route] should handle pointers just as it does other the  
 other standard message types.

Yeah, generally it does, but obviously there is a serious bug. All crashes are
serious bugs. Anyway all [route] would be able do with pointers is route them
according to selector. But as all pointers share the same selector, this isn't
actually very useful. Here the [pointer] based routing comes
into play.

[PD] PD person needed for dance performance

2010-02-08 Thread Mikael Fernstrom
I've occasionally been working with a tap dancer for over ten years  
and developed a few patches for his performances. He now has a TV gig  
scheduled for the 8-11th of April in Birmingham, UK, with rehearsal on- 
site 6-7th of April. Some preparatory work may be required, he's  
normally based in London.


If anybody local (London or Birmingham) is available and on the  
list, please contact me off-list and I'll link you up with the dancer.


I'll provide my current patches, setup instructions, etc.

best regards

[PD] [PD-announce] Pd-berlin meeting next tuesday, 9th Feb

2010-02-08 Thread João Pais

Hello,

next tuesday, 9th February, will be the fourth meeting of Pure Data users
in Berlin at NK (http://www.nkprojekt.de/) - Elsenstr. 52, 2HH 2Etage.

For more information, look up
http://puredata.info/community/organization/pd-berlin/pd-berlin-users-group.
We also encourage you to take an active part, and put up suggestions for
topics you want to talk about / topics you want to be talked about.


Doors are open from 20h-20h15. After that they'll be closed, and you will  
have to call someone from the Pd-meeting to get in. To get a telephone  
number to call or confirm assistance you can write to  
info_at_minitronics.net.


Please, don´t call to the staff of NK to open the doors. They let us use  
the space but we have to take care about having the meeting without  
producing any disturbance to them, and to clean the space after the  
meeting.



We would apreciate if you would send us a small mail to
info_at_minitronics.net with your name, Pd experience and interests, so
that we know how many people might be coming. Or put your name in the
pd-berlin wiki page.


We would like to thank the support and willingness of NK in the
organization of these events.

Re: [PD] Weird mouse click bug

2010-02-08 Thread Hans-Christoph Steiner


That sounds vaguely familiar.  Its likely a bug in Pd or Wish.  Which  
version are you using?  I'm guessing 0.41.4, since the nightly builds  
now use wish85.  Try a 0.42.5 build.

I'm on winxp, and I wonder if anyone else has run into the following

After working on a lot of different patches in pd-ext, and opening

about 20

minutes or so when I'm working in a patch and all the mouse bindings
get wacky.  For example, I might click the x on a window to close  
it, and
instead of closing the window I get a number box hanging from the  
mouse.
Or maybe I go to click File-Save and it brings up the audio  
settings.

In fact, the only way I can get out of Pd at that point is to open the
task manager and kill the wish84.exe.

This doesn't happen every time I use Pd.  If I'm working a lot in a  
day, it
might happen once or maybe twice.  I've never had anything like this  
happen

in another program so I don't think it's my hardware.

Any ideas?

[PD] shouldn't message boxes work as gui elements?

2010-02-08 Thread Matteo Sisti Sette

Hi,

I don't know if this is already being addressed in the rewrite-gui 
version...


I've always wondered why message boxes are not treated as gui elements, 
like number and symbol boxes, that is:


- they do not graph on parent
- they do not have a properties dialog with at least a send and receive 
symbol


Is there some particular reason why it has been decided not to treat (or 
allow treating) message boxes as gui elements, or is it simply that it 
has never been felt as a priority to implement this feature? I mean, 
would it imply any drawback?

[PD] Make app from patch?

I'm working on PD on OSX (10.4) and I've just noticed 'make app from patch' in 
the file menu. I tried this and it came up with this error message:

Re: [PD] shouldn't message boxes work as gui elements?

2010-02-08 Thread Miller Puckette
Hi all,

Message boxes were written to share code with object boxes and comments, but
hacked a bit to respond to mouse clicks.

Making them graph on parent would make sense (the only reason they weren't
before is that in the very first graph-on-parent implementation one couldn't
hide things by moving them out of the little red rectangle)

I've thought about that, too.  I made a feature request for an object 
(ID: 2799270) that would combine my_canvas with the message box's 
features.  (Although now that I think about it, it should probably only 
have one inlet that handles all the GUI-specific messages, like [bng] 
does, and be visually different than a message box by default.)

As for nonlocal send and receive on the current msg box: you've already 
got a nonlocal send by starting the message box with a semicolon.  I like that 
a lot more than nonlocal send/receive names that are hidden away in 
a properties dialog. (But unfortunately, there's no nonlocal receive for msg 
boxes.)

That's a different thing. It's not just a matter of being able or not 
being able to send a message to wherever, it is a matter of how the box 
behaves.
As a user, would you be happy if you were filling a form and there was 
an input field with a label that says:
Please enter your name and surname, preceded by a semicolon, a newline, 
the word 'name' in all lower case without quotes, and a white space?


:)

However, I think you are right in that the gui-element message box 
(like a numberbox for messages) should probably be a different object 
than the traditional message box, and (I add) it should probably not 
allow semicolon and embedded-target-syntax (i.e. sending messages to 
arbitrary targets included in the message itself) because you couldn't 
in any possible way preventing the user to use it (involuntarily) to 
send messages to the wrong target.

I think for some situations the ; method is handy at although it may 
look weird at first it's just another convention.


I do agree that the GUI-visible object should be something slightly 
different without the send and possibly with gui-customization options 
like other guis (colour, font etc).. In the end more like a button.

I think for some situations the ; method is handy at although it may

Of course, more than handy, in many situations it can't be replaced by 
anything else (already existing in pd).


I wasn't suggesting it could be removed, I just meant that probably a 
version of the message box meant for gui shouldn't have it (and 
therefore the message box meant for gui should be a new one - though the 
 traditional message box may be also included among the graph-on-parent 
objects, why not)

Re: [PD] midiout / sysex on windows

2010-02-08 Thread martin.peach

I just tried this with vanilla pd-0.42.5 on WinXP. [midiout] and [sysexin] both 
work despite the warnings. You need to send a multiple message like [240, 1, 2, 
3, 247( although sometimes just sending the individual characters works too.

On pd-extended-0.42.5 [midiout] only sends the start and end sysex status, no 
message.
Maybe because extended isn't using portmidi?

Shouldn't [midiout] be renamed to [sysexout]? It only does sysex, you can't 
send any other kind of MIDI message with [midiout].

 I just tried this myself on a friend's windows machine running a

 which one..
 it gave me an error
 MidiOut Error 1
 whenever I tried to send a sysex message out.
 And there was an error about [sysexin] not being implemented on
 windows and [midiout] being dangerous.. I'm not sure if midiin worked
 with sysex or not because i couldn't get the sysex out..

 Anyone know if this has changed or if there are plans to make sysex
 i/o work for windows?

 Thanks,

 hello,

 I was wondering what the current state of midiout is on windows (i'm working
 on Xp, but should make something that works under any recent windows
 version) I see some discussion about it in the list archives and forum, but
 it's not clear if it should be working or not right now..

 I tried it on vanilla PD 0.42.5 and in extended 0.4.3. It seems in vanilla
 it does nothing at all. In extended it's sending out something, but not what
 i expect.. (sometimes the 3 bytes i try to send each padded by 2 or 3 0's,
 sometimes nothing at all..)

 Also, it's not very clear what kind of input midiout expects - the
 documentation doesn't say anything about that.. i'd guess a list with first
 status byte and then the data bytes?

 if it's not working (yet), are there any alternatives to send sysexes from
 Pd?

 thanks,

 Kristof

Re: [PD] shouldn't message boxes work as gui elements?

2010-02-08 Thread Matt Barber
 I don't know if this is already being addressed in the rewrite-gui
 version...

 I've always wondered why message boxes are not treated as gui elements,
 like number and symbol boxes, that is:

 - they do not graph on parent
 - they do not have a properties dialog with at least a send and receive
 symbol

 Is there some particular reason why it has been decided not to treat (or
 allow treating) message boxes as gui elements, or is it simply that it
 has never been felt as a priority to implement this feature? I mean,
 would it imply any drawback?


It would make some things really difficult to have them GOP --
sometimes you need to use them for bookkeeping things that have little
to do with making human-readable messages -- even simple things like
if higher than five, send a 1, otherwise send dog, but if zero turn
off pd dsp are easier to do with message boxes, but you don't want to
see them on your graph because they have nothing to do with a patch
user, and you don't want to have to hide them out of the GOP
rectangle.  A separate gui object would probably be the best bet...
please don't make regular message boxes graph on parent.

I wasn't questioning its usefulness. I use that syntax daily and would 
feel lost without it (btw in my previous post I erroneously said it 
can't be replaced by anything, while as you say, it can but it is 
extremely cumbersome)


I just meant that its existence doesn't in any way answer to the need of 
a send symbol. My ironic example was meant to demonstrate that asking 
for a box that automatically sends what you type into it to a given 
target is not the same as asking for a box capable of sending messages 
to any given target.

Re: [PD] [env~ ] vs [vsnapshot~ ]: which one is more cpu consuming?

2010-02-08 Thread ypatios
hello


Also, you should know that the result of [env~] is something akin to a
 low-pass filter; the speed limiting from the original patch might be
 done more efficiently by squaring the signal and sending it through a
 (probably aggressive) low-pass filter before sending it to vsnapshot
 -- in that case it's possible that regular old snapshot with a larger
 [block~] size might work just as well, since you'll be sending a
 signal that doesn't change as quickly.  You also need to take into

I want to get the peak of the signal which means that any kind of filtering
or other manipulation before (or after except rate limiting) vsnapshot~ is
not a good idea.
However, a lp filter seems to be a nice way to get peak-to-peak triggering
(but only the triggering, not the actual values). I am currenty trying to
implement that, using the already existing env~ to determine when the signal
is falling at which point the last max magnitude is send to the vu, after
some rate limiting, peak holding  etc.. It seems to work but still needs
optimization.

account that doing message-level computations every sample might be
 fairly inefficient in general, and this is not something that [env~]

I guess you have to trigger vsnapshot~ at sample rate to make sure you don't
miss any value. I can't think of any other way.
After all, there is no computation going on,other than reading groups of
magnitudes and storing the greatest of them.


 is usually doing.  Further, updating a vu gui every sample will
 probably be almost ridiculously inefficient -- try comparing the two
 setups with and without the vu connected (it may be that you have
 already taken care of this in the speed limiting and are not
 actually updating it every sample after all).

That's right :)
(It's amazing  how cpu-consuming wish can be. And that with GUI objects that
look so simple. I wonder how other audio software manages to run say a dozen
vu indicators or fine-looking spectrum plotting tools, all at fairly high
refresh rates with acceptable cpu losses. Maybe a topic for another thread
that i don't really want to start at the moment .. :P  )
