Re: [PD] Question about controllers

2013-01-20 Thread James Mckernon
I haven't used a great deal of controllers, but I'm fond of the korg microkontrol, now sadly discontinued, although one is still able to get hold of it fairly easily. Fairly good, sturdy build quality (metal body), and nice range of different control types, quite similar to the akai one you mention

[PD] use alsa-midi by default?

2012-05-25 Thread James Mckernon
Hi all. Just a quick one: does anyone know of a way to have pure data default to using alsa midi instead of (ahem) default midi? I couldn't find a way to permanently set this from the GUI, so I'm wondering if it's possible. Ideally, I'm looking for something I can put in my .pdextended file to effe

A little hacky, but it seems to work. Nice! The aj-snapshot and patchbay solutions also seem like they would be useful, and I'll remember them if I ever start working with those. Cheers, J On Fri, May 11, 2012 at 5:55 PM, Claude Heiland-Allen wrote: > On 11/05/12 16:07, James Mckern

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could help me remove an irritating behaviour of pure data which I've noticed lately. When running qjackctl, and selecting 'alsa midi' in pd to initialize its it connects its output to all other midi inputs, and its input to all other midi outputs (including throu

[PD] nested nqpoly4's

2012-02-18 Thread James Mckernon
Hi all, I've noticed that nesting nqpoly4 doesn't seem to work. i.e., if a patch contains an nqpoly4 of patchX, and patchX contains an nqpoly4 of patchY, then the patchY's will not instantiate. Instead, a bunch of 'connection failed' messages appear in pd's console. Is this a known bug? Any worka

Hi all, Crossposting this to the pure data mailing list and linux audio users as it concerns PD and the linux OS also. I'd like to be able to use a second mouse as an input device for controlling synthesis in Pure Data. (Well, actually, it's a trackball I'd like to use - much more fun, but I beli

[PD] run commandline from within pd

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a simple way to run an outside command from inside pure data on linux? I'd really like it if I could just click a button from within pd to run 'xset -r' and 'xset r' to turn keyboard repeat off and on again respectively. Thanks! James _
