Hi all!

Just getting started with Pd so I've run into a few problems.

I have a microphone input which I then need FFT results for which will then be sent through OSC to Processing.

So far I have OSC working, and the FFT output triggered by a bang/metronome.
What I need to know is how to get the 'amp' array from my FFT output connected to the OSC send command input. Currently I have it print~ing but can't get it to connect.

Also when I try and add multiple input devices I get this error:
separate audio device choice not supported\; using sequential devices.
Can't seem to find a solution for it

I've attached my file. Save me. Thanks!

There's probably a reason for your current workflow but processing can handle fft rather good (no need for pd and osc). More information can be found in the minim library (it also does beatdetection, how cool is that .

Now I'm thinking about it, you're probably right to have some pd involvement because I don't know how well processing works with different microphones and stuff.

I think the sonia(sonya perhaps?) library for processing can handle fft stuff too.

Yeah I know I've been using the Ess library so far but the problem is it can only take one microphone input (the default) [same with ALL other libraries as this is a limitation of JavaSound implementation and hence all Prcoessing sound libraries) . Hence why I've shifted to Pd for the FFT on multiple mics which I'll then hopefully OSC into Processing.

So instead of [print~ amp], how do i get amp stored into a variable (which will then be sent through OSC)?

Thanks for the suggestions though, but there's a reason for me stepping outside the bounds of Processing. =D

Cheers!

check out [pack~] from Zexy

or, http://jackbytes.net/ might be useful?

Thanks for the heads up I'll play around with [pack~]

In the meantime I managed to get it working with [tabwrite~]

Found the example here:

File attached for anyone interested.

Still get the "separate audio device choice not supported\; using sequential devices." error though when I try and add multiple input devices.
