This is what it shows when I first open Pd (without opening any patches):

I see that it is saying "Gem: can't load library" so that probably explains why it isn't working, but I didn't delete anything since I first installed it. I could probably try re-installing it. Do you think that would do me any good, or should I try something else first?

HI. I made a little pd for changing in real time some midi data from a controller when you press a special key, like a SHIFT function. My problem is that I need to recall the shifted/unshifted controller position to resume the controller when it reaches again that position, like the "pick up" function in Ableton Live. The idea is to control more than one virtual controller with just one real controller.
I have it all working for just one real midi controller (I mean one knob or one slider sending midi controller values). I used "gate" and "sel" commands. I'm trying now to replicate the functionality with n real controllers.
In other words, now I'm just recalling one controller position value for any controller but not from which controller is that value. I need it to work multithreading, because the operator may wish to move multiple controllers shifted and unshifted, and every shifted/unshifted position must be stored somewhere for the pick up functionality.

Is this too much for PD? I think the algorithm in C and it's not that hard using hashmaps or something similar to store controllerID+controllerValue and check if it has a pick up value active.
Could you give me some directions using PD? Can I store and recall key+value in any way?

thanks,
Federico

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?

This is my try at a no-sample drummachine. It's a rather complex machine, so i'll try to explain it as clear as i can, but still probably very unclear

To just make sound, you should (normally) do this :

• select a preset (bottom left)
• press the run button (top left)

Some more functions:

• there are four instruments (2 bassdrums, 1 snare, 1 hihat/cymbal thing), you can control their levels in the mix section
• each instrument follows one of the tables at the right (not the fifth one)
• to access each instrument's controls click the [pd controls] object. I won't explain each control, just try them. However, each instrument has a pink radio-strip, this selects which table the instrument currently uses. The brown radio skips notes.
• to ad grit, use the woodfire section (beware of your ears, although it will diminish the output level). This is my go at a constant-output-level thing (is this some form of compression?).
• there's a (vst) reverb section for which i normally use the free PSP pianoverb (its controls are mapped in the verb section parameters). The input to the plugin can follow the fifth table, by using the [folw] toggle. This might be a rather confusing section
• there's an FM section which can follow the snare and/or hihat (blue toggles in the mix section). The five sliders in the main section control the fm amount/depth/filter
• the green slider in the main section is the main level
• the organe [hp] slider is the main highpass-level

Something about the tables. Each table has a set of controls:

• Dark red clears the current pattern
• Dark blue randomizes the entire pattern
• Switch the green toggle on the record notes with the spacebar
• Light red button clears all notes except the recorded ones
• Light blue button randomizes all notes except the recorded ones
• The buttons marked < and > shift the pattern left/right
• The radiostrips selects an other pattern
• Patterns can be loaded/saved by the green/red buttons bellow the radio strip
• The very small green toggles enables/disables the auto-load-pattern function
• The randomization depth is controlled by the yellow slider bellow
• The orange slider / grey radio controls the number of steps played

Enjoy it.

OS X 10.5.2; installed from hans' most recent two builds. (in case the newest one was buggy). I have used the build you linked to unsuccessfully. I have also tried removing the org.puredata.plist file from ~/library/preferences before installing with no success.

An update - the problem occurs whenever I open any new window - even a new patch. immediately subsequently pd-extended crashes once on load.

Another thing that confuses me is that I still get a default font missing report after installing the version that now uses monaco as the default - I am guessing the same problem may be causing pd-extended to fail to reach all these.

all my engineer friends make fun of me for being confused by crash reports, but I can't get much past the "bad access" and "kern invalid address" seeming to imply that the problem is with how pd-extended relates to mac OS X not something internal to pd-extended.

I have here's what it says for the openpanel crash:

well, it's late and I'm tired of trying to find out how to solve this the hard way. I have a weird suspicion that these are caused by the same kind of problem.

can anyone point me to a solution to these two problems on Mac OS X with Gem? I've tried with different versions of pd-extended and Gem.

1. gemwin will create a window, but it has no control - the menu bar at the top is there but there is no active buttons on it - they lack color of any sort. The window itself is stuck there. can't be moved.

2. any time I open a file via openpanel object I crash. sometimes this will crash firefox too - though randomly. sometimes crashes without crash report, or the ability to access the crashreport.

I've tried to fully uninstall all forms of pd, and pd files from the library/prefs folder but the same thing happens no matter what on both errors.

thoughts? The crash report always says thread 0 is what crashes.

a.
