Hi everybody!

Since sometime PD is having a strange behaviour on my pc. del and metro objects often crash (far too often...let's say almost every time). They just freeze and dont output any bang.

I've tried to uninstall and install again several times but nothing changed.

It all started when I was modifying startup flags on pure data (from the list on Pd' s file menu) ... after then I couldn't open that item on the menu, even after reinstalled PD.

I used to overwrite every file during installation, maybe I'm missing something?

Hope somebody could held

I'm on a 64bit Win 7

this should be an easy issue..

[phasor~ 100]
|
[threshold~ 0.5]

[O] why do I never get any bang here?!

thanks!

I've tried to build a distortion just using some parametric filters for boost the input signal,and than a clipper..
..but the results are not so good..
do you have some suggestions?

I havent find any good distortion algorithms on the web..

leonarrdo-

is any useful?

do you think it would need too much work?

i'm a buzz user tired of crashes,but the great matilde tracker in buzz really missed me,
so i'm trying to create something similar on pd,
but
1-cannot find a way to save patterns(i used to write trigger sequences,for playing the sample in array..)

2-I'm getting bored writing $1 $2 $3 $4....in message boxes just for write the pattern in the array

3-I'm not so sure if this work will be any useful...i'm losting FAITH on this.

have you ever created a patch like tris?
have some suggestions?

please...

why some keys (using 'key' obj)
do not respect limits like >,< etc..

i've done a patch where I needed that
values beyond some limits should not
to be considerated.it works for every
key values but for CTRL,SPACE BAR and
some others

i've some 8 second samples to be played from an array.
some of them makes clicks at every loop cycle
I've tried to add one ore two samples for not to read from the first part of the array,
but i couldnt avoid the problem.
i've also tried to apply a [cos] wave to read smootly the beginning and the end of
the array(like in the help patch B9 loop.smooth) but because of the lenght
of the sample(as I think) the ramp up and ramp down of the amplitude is too
obvious to be ignored.
any ideas?

in a patch (i think is a mertro object) always says
error: message stack overflow
can anyone tell me what's the problem?

my aim is to load with pd sound samples,looping them and play(maybe a far far day) live with my laptop.
now,i've learned to use -loop - object but i have no idea to what could i do now
my question is:
how do you use pd for modifying sounds?(it seems quite a wide question,but i
really dont know where to put my hands now!)

if I put an ADC object in pd and I select the internal mix as registration source in the WINDOWS audio setup shouldnt pd receive this input and,for example write the input wave with TABWRITE?
that doesnt work for me
is there something wrong?

hi! I'm using the last windows version. Pd-0.42.5-extended... I have installed jack since then, but didn't use. I'll try to delete it and see if it works. Anyway, is seems to me strange that even if I delete (either using the application that comes with pd-extended or doing it from window's control panel) and reinstall pd again same problems occurs

hey! Guido posted on this topic http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-6193-simple-video-player-playlist-option a playlist patch that works on win!

hope it helps!

Hey fldhd! if you got to know something somewhere let me know! I'm looking after it too!

Hey, thanks for your reply

what do you mean for "reset value"? I've tried with several values of rest threshold and bounce time, but I had no results as well...

BTW, what I want is to get a bang any time a freq. modulated phasor gets back to zero. Maybe there's a better way to achieve this.

THANKS!!

i've had the same problem with m-audio firewire audiophile:its drivers work on 8ms. (more or less)
on jeskola buzz but with PD I couldnt go under 30 ms,both selecting or not ASIO in the audio pref.

bass sample.
and there isnt any overlap,cause I want the same sample to be looped several
times ,and also the other samples must to be started right after the one before.

thanks anyway

i've tried using the [threshold] obj and it seems to work quite well.
i've set its borders at 0.9999 and 0.01 and i receive the -bang message
from the left outlet.
thanks anyway!

...and(cos it's quite in the same subject) there is any object that
outputs a bang whenever an audio signal get a specific value.


for example: I want that a bang message is sent whenever a [phasor] obj
is at 0 .
Is there any way to do this?

just a simple question from a novice:
i've heard about trigging pd events from the computer' s keyboard...
...how?

no,it remains always at the same loud volume.
and i havent any microphone connected.
i've tried to run my laptop on battery power but it doesnt change anything,
and yes,i have one of that lousy soundcard ....
