I've been getting various real-time problems too, but I'm not sure whether to blame the new Pd version, or the 64-bit kernel, or the new machines I'm running it on. Just to make things one bit more compicated, I've updated the included version of portaudio and added optional callback scheduling to

[PD] difference send and using msg with ";"

Hey, when I look through miller's tutorial patches, I often find ";-messages" instead of a send object like: [;detune $1( vs [s detune] I wonder why, is there a significant difference? is one more efficient then the other (if yes, I always thought send is more efficient..?). this is not urgent, I

I've never profiled it, but I think for a single number, using a "send" object is more efficient, but for anything else (like if you have to use a message box anyway to format the message or if you're sending more than one) the message box wins. cheers Miller On Thu, Aug 16, 2007 at 12:36:33PM -0

Re: [PD] [HID] Object - How to Ignore message event...

2007-08-16 Thread Derek Holzer
I haven't seen it. But since you use [route] to filter the output data, I don't see why this would be necessary. Unless "element 10" is simply flooding you with too much information. But that usually only causes problems when the data is printed to the PD window. Use "debug 0" to turn off the p

i don't know if there is a technical difference in efficiency, but there is a difference in use. at least before 0.40, using [; $1 $2( was the only way to achieve a settable send. there is also a cosmetic aspect: if you want to collect some initial values together at some place, it is much nicer to

To start with, $ args mean different things in message boxes, so it's not clear what $0 would mean in a message box. Making $0 in a message box behave like $0 in an object box could be a quick hack, but it could also have ramifications going forward. .hc On Aug 16, 2007, at 7:20 PM, Thoma
