[PD] RE : Preferences Dialog
Seems cool in windows, also it would be nice in audio settings to have a checkbox stating if pd let other audio applications use the audio drivers or not, like in cubase. Patrice Colet Message d'origine De : Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com Date : 05/04/2013 17:19 (GMT+00:00) A : PD-list pd-list@iem.at Objet : [PD] Preferences Dialog Hi List, I'm going to start coding up a single preferences dialog to replace the disparate settings dialogs that live in non-standard menus of Pd. It will be Firefox Style, meaning a Preferences option in the Edit menu. The dialog will have a row of buttons at the top that are icons above text. When a button is clicked it will bring up the tab in the dialog window for those particular settings. (This turns out to be surprisingly easy to do in Tk.) So far I think there should be an Audio button, MIDI button, and maybe a GUI button that could be be split out later if needed. I'd like to have changes take effect immediately-- otherwise it might get confusing if one changes settings in one tab, then makes changes to another and clicks Apply. How would this effect UX on Windows and OSX? -Jonathan ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Changing array curves with mouse interaction
Hello list, I´ve been searching around a little about hints on how to make a mouse interaction easier in an array, but didn´t find much. Sometimes it is a bit too precise to get a grip on the curve. So my question is, can there be some ways to make this gripping a bit easier?

Is this with ASIO? I'm on Debian. With JACK its something you'd set through the JACK command line interface or a GUI like qjackctl. With ALSA I don't think you can do that without having the dmix plugin.

Re: [PD] RE : Preferences Dialog
At the moment, Pd is hardwired so that, if one stops DSP, the audio device is closed for ASIO, MMIO, ALSA, CoreAudio, and OSS (not sure if I'm forgetting one :) but is kept open if the current API is jack. THis is done so that one doesn't lose jack connections when stopping and restarting DSP. I don't know of any other case when it's appropriate to keep the audio driver open (and, by implication, keep inputting and outputing samples) when DSP isn't running. Anyway, it can't be brought out into the GUI without changes to Pd itself. In general, I resist adding complexity whenever I can :) Miller On Sat, Apr 06, 2013 at 10:12:58AM -0700, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: From: colet.patrice colet.patr...@free.fr To: pd-list@iem.at Cc: Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com Sent: Saturday, April 6, 2013 8:10 AM Subject: RE : [PD] Preferences Dialog Seems cool in windows, also it would be nice in audio settings to have a checkbox stating if pd let other audio applications use the audio drivers or not, like in cubase.

Re: [PD] Drawing a sine function dynamically in Gem
You may want to investigate latest version of pd-l2ork that also includes ability to assign different font sizes to drawnumber and drawsymbol (optional last argument, can be assigned to a variable but currently only supports pd-defined font sizes). It also separates the two into two distinct externals so that when you do the help on drawsymbol you don't end-up with drawnumber help file. I don't have a help file amended yet. It would be great if this ended up in the core documentation project. -Original Message- From: pd-list-boun...@iem.at [mailto:pd-list-boun...@iem.at] On Behalf Of Jonathan Wilkes Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 5:36 PM To: Orm Finnendahl; pd-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] Drawing a sine function dynamically in Gem Btw-- I just uploaded a patch that adds [drawoval], [filledoval], [drawrectangle], and [filledrectangle] to data structure drawing instructions.

It would be great if this ended up in the core documentation project. Sounds good. Another one I'm working on: 1) Did the user click a graph? 2) If so, is there either a) a single garray or b) a single data structure array with a single float y field in its template that is contained within the graph's gl_list? 3) If so, does the horizontal position of the mouse-click lie within the horizontal bounds of an element of the garray or ds array we found in the gl_list? 4) If so, set the y value of the array element to the y position of the mouse click. This should allow jump on click for Put menu arrays-- something mentioned in another thread recently, as well as easy jump on click data structure multisliders. Also-- I don't think it'd be too hard to add [drawimage ./foo.gif]. It's a little trickier because you have to remember to remove the tk photo when the object is destroyed to prevent memory leaks. Also, it'd be nice to have an -s flag so you can load a sequence of images with something like [drawimage -s blah ./foo%d.gif]. The idea is that this object would tell the gui to load foo01.gif foo02.gif etc. into memory and display whichever image for which %d matches the value of foo. Then you could easily animate sprites on a canvas! The nice thing is that pd would just be passing an itemconfigure message with an image name to the gui, so it should be way more efficient than sending array data or deleting/creating polygon coords. -Jonathan -Original Message- From: pd-list-boun...@iem.at [mailto:pd-list-boun...@iem.at] On Behalf Of Jonathan Wilkes Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2013 5:36 PM To: Orm Finnendahl; pd-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] Drawing a sine function dynamically in Gem Btw-- I just uploaded a patch that adds [drawoval], [filledoval], [drawrectangle], and [filledrectangle] to data structure drawing instructions.

[PD] State of dssi/plugin support on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04)
All, I did some digging around existing plugin solutions for fluidsynth and other synths on Linux and so far had no luck. pluginhost~ segfaults as soon as it is loaded (help patch does). Removing :hexter from the [pluginhost~ hexter.so:hexter 2] fixes this but one cannot open any of the guis (they all either do not do anything or eventually crash pd. The old fluid~ is gone, nowhere to be found, so is dssi~. It is possible that this problem stems from some weird configuration on my system but before I try digging in that direction, just wanted to see what everyone else's thoughts were on this one. The problem btw manifests both on local build of pd-extended and pd-l2ork. Not sure about vanilla... -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A Composition, Music Technology Director, DISIS Interactive Sound Intermedia Studio Director, L2Ork Linux Laptop Orchestra Head, ICAT IMPACT Studio Virginia Tech Department of Music Blacksburg, VA 24061-0240 (540) 231-6139 (540) 231-5034 (fax) disis.music.vt.edu l2ork.music.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

In pd/pd-l2ork when creating [pluginhost~ fluidsynth-dssi.so] works (creates 3 outlets and reports no errors) but trying to open the gui does nothing. I do get a warning about DSSI path not set, but its defaults are correct (and the external finds the .so file fine). Trying something like [pluginhost~ calf.so:Reverb] (or reverb) or any other legitimate combo that uses :plugin crashes pd immediately.
