>>I had been hooking the sampler up to the midi out from the x-station<<

does the x-station have a midi 'thru' port too? or just in and out? because if you want to send midi to the sampler via another device, you'd probably have to have a midi thru port to do that (if i recall correctly)

if you don't have a midi through port, then i think it would be best to use the midi-usb device you have.

set the electribe to receive on midi channel 1 only. and then attach it to the the midi-usb device with a midi cable.

connect the x-station to the electribe's midi 'thru' outlet with a midi cable. set the x-station to recieve on midi channel 2 only.

then open pd and set midi output to the midi-usb device name, and then [noteout 1] should talk to the electribe only, and [noteout 2] should talk to the x-session

one more thing:
does the x-station have its own power source? if so, then disconnect the usb cable. you won't need it. but if the device needs usb for power, then maybe you can still leave it connected via usb as well, but don't select it as a device in pd, because it will be receiving midi messages via the electribe anyway.

one more thing again: really if the x-station has a midi through port, then just attach that to the electribe and all your worries should be gone.

Okay, hello guys. Excited to be here... I've recently become hooked on Pd.

I can do a fair bit with it already but I'm just getting really fed up now that practically every patch I download from someone else contains at least one object or some kind of abstraction I either don't understand or don't have some how.

On Mac OS X PPC 10.4, I've downloaded Pd Extended, but I'm pretty sure I don't have all of these libraries that many of you talk about. (isn't that what Extended is supposed to be all about?) I really want to start working with GEM.

at start up, I always get this in the console. This is bad, no?

Alberto,

I figured it out. I made a few changes to your makefile, though:
1. added a path to m_pd.h
2. changed "rm -f $*.o ../$*.dll" to "rm -f $*.o $*.dll"
(the .dll file wasn't being removed from the working directory)
3. forced DEST to the pd/extra directory
4. removed CSYM since it's not being used
5. removed "current: pd_win"; changed "pd_win: $(NAME).dll" to "all: $(NAME).dll"
6. removed non-win stuff
7. removed the clean and install targets for right now
Hopefully these changes make it easier for the complete newbie. Anyway, with enormous thanks to AlbertoZ, here's a mini-tutorial for using my makefile.

1. if you're using pd-extended, save this as "m_pd.h" (into the same directory with
helloworld.c). If you're using pd-vanilla, you can skip this step.
2. save this code as "mk.mk" (into the same directory with helloworld.c):

# mk.mk -- invoke with "make -f mk.mk"

      NAME = helloworld
    PDPATH = "c:/Progra~1/pd"
   LDFLAGS = --export-dynamic -shared
WININCLUDE = -I $(PDPATH)/src
 WINCFLAGS = -DPD -DNT -W3 -WX -Werror -Wno-unused          \
             -mms-bitfields -Wno-parentheses -Wno-switch    \
             -O6 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer

all: $(NAME).dll
.SUFFIXES: .dll
.c.dll:
    gcc $(WINCFLAGS) $(WININCLUDE) -c -o $*.o $*.c
    gcc $(LDFLAGS) -o $*.dll $*.o $(PDPATH)/bin/pd.dll  
    strip --strip-unneeded $*.dll
    cp $*.dll $(PDPATH)/extra
    rm -f $*.o $*.dll

2. modify the PDPATH variable if needed to reflect the actual location of pd on your
system (MSYS will interpret c:/Program Files/pd as C:/Program, so use
c:/Progra~1/pd instead)
3. if you're using pd-extended, remove line 6 (WININCLUDE = -I $(PDPATH)/src) and
remove $(WININCLUDE) from line 14.
4. close all pd windows if any are open
5. in MSYS, navigate to the directory with helloworld.c and type: make -f mk.mk
(type make -s -f mk.mk if you want to hide the lengthy shell response)
6. the shell should respond with something like:
gcc -DPD -DNT -W3 -WX -Werror -Wno-unused -mms-bitfields -Wno-parentheses
-Wno-switch -O6 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -I "c:/Progra~1/pd"/src -c -o
helloworld.o helloworld.c
gcc --export-dynamic -shared -o helloworld.dll helloworld.o
"c:/Progra~1/pd"/bin/pd.dll
strip --strip-unneeded helloworld.dll
cp helloworld.dll "c:/Progra~1/pd"/extra
rm -f helloworld.o helloworld.dll
7. a new helloworld.dll file should be saved into the pd/extra folder, and you should be
able to create the "helloworld" object in a new pd window.

Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I just purchased a Ground Control Pro, a midi foot pedal, from DMC. I was hoping to use it to switch between my patches in Puredata. However when I plug it in, using the factory settings=>to my Uno midi interface=>powerbook g4. I don't get any midi signals in the Test Patch in PD. I have selected the midi interface in the PD midi settings, I have also created a external in Audio|Midi OSX utility. If I switch out the GCP with my midi keyboard, PD gets the signals fine.

I am getting midi signals to the Audio/midi OSX utility because when I do a sound test in the utility i get sound response on the "\/" arrow of the midi interface(the one viewable in the patchable section of the utility)

If anyone has had any experience with the GCpro and setting it up with PD I would much apreciate some direction.

Just for you knowledge, I have tried this setup with the OSX midi utility open while PD was open(I heard that I should try that)....no luck.

Ben

Anyone can tell me how to install it on MacOSX?

I'v tried as sad in the install file

Use the configure script and specify the directories:
e.g.: ./configure --with-pddir=../../pd --with-gemdir=../../gem/Gem --with-pdpdir=../pdp

in this way:

./configure --/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd=../..pd --/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resource/extra/Gem=../..gem/Gem --/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resource/extra=../pdp

but I recive:

configure: error: unrecognized option: --/Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd=../..pd

and with:

./configure /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd=../..pd /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resource/extra/Gem=../..gem/Gem /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/Resource/extra=../pdp

recive:

configure: error: invalid variable name: /Applications/Pd-0.38.4-extended-RC8.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd

where I make a mistake?

thanks

I'm looking for some help about a latency problem with midi processing using pd under Windows XP.

Here is the point : I'm using pd to process some midi data coming from electronic drums. These data are then sent to another software (e.g. Nuendo) thanks to virtual midi ports (MIDI Yoke). Assuming '<->' is a midi connection (virtual or physical), it looks like,

drums module <-> Sound Card (Midi Ports) <-> Pure Data <-> Midi Yoke <-> Nuendo

The problem is that pd introduces some latency... and pd is definitely responsible for that... because the following setup does not introduce latency :

drums module <-> Sound Card (Midi Ports) <-> Midi CC <-> Midi Yoke <-> Nuendo

(Midi CC allows to connect virtual ports between them)

The last point is that latency does not seem to be sensitive to the patch. I tried a simple midi thru patch and another patch with complex treatments and nothing changed...

Help
