[PD] Using PD in a non real-time mode?
Hello. I need to do some heavy audio generation and processing but my computer is not powerful enough to do it in real-time. In fact, I just want to record it; I don't need it to be processed in real-time. So, is there any way of doing this in PD? Is there any way of using Pure Data in a non real-time mode and capture its output to a soundfile? Thanks in advance.

Thank you all very much. With Claude's method things are being recorded with no glitches. This is a very important tool for me. Thanks again. Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Recording MIDI data with PD as synch master
Hello. I'm sending an enormous quantity of note messages through a virtual MIDI port out to some virtual orchestras. All messages are synchronized with a PD metronome that may vary. I want all this into an "as "good" as possible written score". Even this idea may not work at all. Of course, I could do it all manually by recording the raw MIDI messages, printing and transcribing them into score, but it should be easier. Any ideas? ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] sequencer app for osx (Iannis Xenakis?)
Talking about Iannis Xenakis: does anybody know about a complilation or rewriting of Xenakis's "GenDy" program used to compose "Gendy3" and "S709" (at least)? I know of one made by someone called Peter Hoffman (if my memory doesn't fail me), but i couldn't find it anywhere. Any ideas?

Hi Siegfried. Yes, I'm you are right. In fact, I've already tried to contact him but the e-mail address that is published in the paper is not working. May be I should send him a letter by post mail.

[PD] Random - Different seed each time the patch is loaded
I want many (let's say 10) [random] objects that give different series of numbers each time the patch is loaded (of course, the 10 [random] give different series from each other). I tried using [time] and [date] objects to generate different seeds, but the same seed (different on each load) is given to the 10 [random]. I tried using a mix of [date], [time] and [realtime], but it's quite unreliable. Any ideas?

[PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Hi everyone. I need to draw arrays with different levels of complexity and precision rapidly in PD mainly for control purposes. I imagine something like Adobe Illustrator's vector functions with capabilities of exporting the result as an array of numbers which could be easily imported in PD. It's too much, isn't it? Any ideas? For the moment I'm working with a sort of "polynomial interpolating algorithm". It works, but it's not good for smooth curves and the text based input is neither rapid to create the array nor to modify some part of it. Since it would be quite useful for me, I am willing to make by myself if it doesn't exists (and to share it if someone is interested, of course), but I'll need advices of what programming language fits best for that. Keep in mind that I work under OS X 10.5.5. Any clue? Thank you Cheers Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Thank you João. This utility is quite useful for editing arrays appearance, but your "drawing segments" function is similar to mine, and I'm looking for some hybrid text-GUI editor. Am I clear or just crazy? Thanks anyway Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Drawing arrays in PD
Well, something like this: Create and move freely the points that form the "broken line" (even though it looks smooth) with the mouse by clicking in a nice GUI with many visual and data handling options and functions (zoom, colors, cut-copy-paste, undo are just a few that come to my mind rapidly). Also with the mouse, set the smoothness factor of each point (that would affect the concavity of the adjacent lines). By double clicking in a point, an exact value of coordinates could be entered by text. In addition, it could have a text-based-point-creation control panel, where could be set the coordinates where the point will be created. Finally, a "export to text file" function with selectable resolution. (May be a "send to PD + "arrayname"" would be ok too) This is what comes to my mind. May be it's too much. Should I try to build this in PD or I should use another language? In that case, which one? ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Split multichannel audio file into stereo pairs
Hi everyone. I want to split a 32-bits 12 tracks audio file (aif) into 6 stereo files (consecutive pairs i.e. 1-2, 3-4, etc.). I've already tried with [soundfiler], but there seems to be many problems with large files (this one is aprox. 10 minutes lenght) and with 32-bits reading (I listen a kind of quantizing error noise, a sort of dithering-less noise). In fact, I'm thinking of reporting a bug on it, but I'd have to explain which exactly the problem is, and I need some time for that. Currently, I'm doing this manually with Audacity, but I need it to be automatic and, if possibly, with PD. Any ideas?

[PD] Re : Split multichannel audio file into stereo pairs
Well Jurgen, I like Audacity too. Indeed, that's the way I'm doing it now. But I need to insert this process in a automatic chain of processes that is made entirely in PD, that is the reason of my obstination in that specific point. I'll try the -batch flag. That will be useful not only for this but for the entire process. How do I make it work? Just putting the -batch flag on startup? One last thing. I remember to have some synch problems while recording with many [writesf~] (correctly triggered, of course). Any ideas about that? I might had been doing something wrong… Thanks Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] make app from folder - patch not loaded.
Hi everyone, I'm having problems with "make app from folder" on OS X. It appears that the app was built ok, but when I run it, PD starts (with My app name instead of "PD-extended"), minimizes the PD window and (here's the problem) my patch is not loaded at all (or at least I can't see it). Any ideas? Thank you all Ignacio PD: my patch has many abstractions and makes reference to some audio files. They are all seem to be copied ok because the resulting app size is exactly the sum of PD-extended size and my folder size. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] make app from folder - patch not loaded.
I've been looking inside the app created with pd and it seems that I've fixed the problem. I opened the file "APP/Contents/org.puredata.pd.plist" and saw that PD was trying to open my patch (that was in the "extra" folder, inside it's own folder, the one from which I wanted the app to be created from) from a wrong location. For some reason, PD was expecting the patch and it's containing folder to be named the same. In this case, it was asking to open a file located in a folder that didn't exist (a folder with the patch's name). I simply changed the wrong folder's name for the write one and everything seems to work fine. Any ideas about this? Am I missing something?

Re: [PD] make app from folder - patch not loaded.
Well, that was one of the problems the first time it failed, but once the spaces were gone, the app wouldn't load the patch neither. PD seems to locate the folder in: APP/Contents/Resouces/extra/FOLDER/NECESARY_FILES_AND_PATCH I've found in the file "org.puredata.pd.plist" a command that seemed trying to open this ../NECESARY_FILES_AND_PATCH/NECESARY_FILES_AND_PATCH instead of this ../FOLDER/NECESARY_FILES_AND_PATCH I simply modified that path and everything gone ok, even though I still don't know why it doesn't work fine automatically.

Re: [PD] make app from folder - patch not loaded.
Well Hans, thank you very much for your help. A couple of things about building apps problems. 1- Your fix made the folder to be named always "app-auto-load", write? Well, that fixes the bug, but completely kills all the references of the "../FOLDER_NAME/FILE" form in the patch, creating a new bug (I think). What do you think about it? 2- I accidentally saved the app in the same folder that was being built into an app. The result was a recursive app with itself inside itself inside itself…I had to force PD to quit. May be there should be a protection or at least a warning message. Ignacio ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] make app from folder - patch not loaded.
You are right. I've always used ../FOLDER/FILE reference and didn't realize that it could be done just like FILE. It's time to modify some patches. As for the bug report, I was not allowed to do it. I get this error: Error - Choose a Group ERROR - No group_id was chosen. But I am choosing a category (pd-extended) and a group (v0.41)! This is funny: problems when reporting problems when reporting problems…just like the problem I want to report.

[PD] Pduino - error compiling firmware and analog inputs problem
Hello. I've just got an Seeeduino ATmega168 (100% compatible with Arduino Duemilanove). [OS X Leopard, PD-extended 0.41.4]. When trying to compile the firmware "StandardFirmata" (downloaded from http://at.or.at/hans/pd/objects.html#pduino) I get this error: * In function 'void setPinModeCallback(byte, int)':* *error: 'FIRST_SERVO_PIN' was not declared in this scope In function 'void analogWriteCallback(byte, int)':* * In function 'void sysexCallback(byte, byte, byte*)':* * In function 'boolean isServoSupportedPin(byte)':* After that I compiled "SimpleAnalogFirmata" succesfuly but, when testing the comunication with PD I noticed that the Analog-In-Values were being updated at a very small rate (2 or 3 times a second). This prints PD when I start comunication with Arduino: *[comport] closed /dev/tty.Bluetooth-PDA-Sync* *get_baud_ratebits: 57600.00* *set_baudrate baudbits: 57600* *[comport] opened serial line device 2 (/dev/tty.usbserial-A7004HQU)* The baudrate seems to be fine. My questions are: ¿Which firmware should I use if I want all analog (pots) and digital (buttons) inputs? ¿Any ideas about the error I get trying to compile "StandardFirmata"? ¿Any ideas about that extremely small data rate?
