Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
That's very elegant! I did a little test last night and [;pd-subpatch vis 0 works for me. Just don't run the metro so fast you can't grab focus in the control window *and* turn it off:) On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Hans-Christoph Steiner h...@at.or.at wrote: Here's how I did it, I have a web interface that controls which of the patches is running: .hc On Mar 14, 2012, at 4:44 PM, Tyler Leavitt wrote: Hello all, So I have around 8 generative patches/static compositions that I want to present as an installation.

Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
Sounds like a winner to me. At one point I had things working with no audio dropouts but then all of a sudden on some patches particularly ones that have a) unresolved sends/receives b) mouse input from gem or via canvas dragging in editable window I get clicks in the audio just by moving the mouse across On Thu, Mar 15, 2012 at 10:01 AM, Hans-Christoph Steiner h...@at.or.atwrote: Here's how I did it, I have a web interface that controls which of the patches is running: .hc ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
forgot to mention that minimiiziing pd and controling from html5canvas/javascript/javaudp does not cause dropouts. also if only using pd to send something else makiing the sound there are no dropouts. iits probably just something i'm overlooking.

Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
If your patch is named foo.pd, send a vis 1 message to it to give the window the focus, like this: [vis 1( | [pd-foo.pd] Automation is tricky. In pd-extended or vanilla it will crash pd if you try to get a patch to close itself. Ivica made a fix for that in pd-l2ork-- which should work if you're only opening/closing every 2 minutes-- but I'm not sure if it's still crash-proof. -Jonathan - Original Message - From: Tyler Leavitt thecryofl...@gmail.com To: pd-list pd-list@iem.at Cc: Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 4:44 PM Subject: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation Hello all, So I have around 8 generative patches/static compositions that I want to present as an installation.

Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
And wrap the whole patch with a [switch~] so you can turn off DSP when it is minimised and turn on ones that are in focus. a.

Re: [PD] Switching Between Multiple Patches for Installation
Perfect. Thank you guys. I haven't tried it yet but I'm sure this is exactly what I need, as closing the actual patch is irrelevant as long as I can get one to grab focus.
