Hi all, I had some technical questions about pdvst, instead of writing to Joseph Sarlo I thought it was better to open a new topic about it, it's the first:

-Anyone knows how can I add new search paths for patches or other files inside pdvst?

thanks

in 'normal' pd you can add a path as part of the abstraction.

for example,

[./synths/obsynth]

thanks for reply hardoff, can you explain me better? this is the matter:
I like the idea to use pd inside cubase (or any other software vst compatible) but it seems that pdvst recognizes dependencies only if I put them inside pdvst folder, I'm afraid I have to reorganize all the hard disk if I want continuing to use pdvst.

Another problem is: I load a pdvst effect and the patch (with no graphical guys) is opened inside the host software (cool! . Ok, now if I close this window I cannot reopen anymore (damn!:() and have to destroy/reload the effect.

->for example, [./synths/obsynth]

this is by the command line?

no, when you make the actual objects, add the path as part of the object name.

cool, i didn't know this trick

it works in pdvst too, both for abstractions and externals!

that's a good beginning for a topic, don't you think?

ok. will add it to my wiki/blog, which i just added to my signature

hi all,
I would make another post about a strange problem with pdvst.
Now I can open the pd window inside cubase as a vst, you have to write in the .pdv file:

# Whether there is a custom GUI (e.g. GrIPD)
CUSTOMGUI = TRUE

# Display Pd GUI or not
DEBUG = TRUE

the problem is that visible objects inside subpatches with graph on parent are changed in position.
As every object overlapping each other.

can anyone propose a solution?
many thanks

and to open/close the pd window you have to use:

[obj] r rvstopengui
