I want 24diferent loops to be constantly playing.
Is loading them in to arrays and having 24 tabplay the best way or is there a simpler more convenient way?

Also not sure how to get them to constantly loop. Do i have to send new bangs every time they stop?

I'm trying to get pitch from a piano with fiddle to control a synth (kind of).
First try/test is the attached file. Problem is it only works for high keys. I think this is due to lower amplitude in lower keys. Input comes from a cheap casio keyboard via a cheap microphone and is not very strong. What is the best way to amplify this signal within PD?

I can only find 0.39 extended, are there no newer version?
I guess I could get the ordinary 0.41 and then install the extensions I need, but I'm not shure how to do this or wich extensions I need.

I want to controll the speed of a metronome with midi sync, how should i do?
I have searched the forums and googled but can't find a good answer how to do this and the documentation for midi in messages is kinda sparse.

Also since its my first message i guess i should say hi:
Hi everyone!

If I understand it correctly the lights are controlled with midi notes. The noteout object is the one you are looking for i believe.
Try the attached patch, hitting the bang should (if i'm correct) turn the first button green.

Found this link in the CDM article you linked: http://www.cycling74.com/forums/index.php?t=msg&rid=0&S=fc3491c80ebcd0e6aa4198cfe00d9036&th=39824&goto=174687#msg_174687
it might be what your looking for.

I don't think there is a stable release for ubuntu 64bit just yet. But there is a new release candidate for the next version.

I'm having trouble installing on Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic). Are a package forthcoming or should I continue my attempts at making it myself? I'm a noob so it's not going very well so far.

where did the original thread go? there were more interesting solutions for 4 channel sound

They are probably extended objects, if you're running vanilla.

One way is to have midi interfaces on both computers and connect them with a midi cable.
The other way would be to send the midi messages through a network, here i think the easiest way is to pack them to osc. But I'm not sure.

Neither way is really convenient.

I've come to the mixer part now. An am not sure how it is best done.
Basically two questions:

1 do I just add all signals together after i set their level with [*~] ?

2 how do i best route midi cc from my knobs to the volume controls, is the easiest way one [ctlin] with cc number creation argument for every knob? I'd like a cleaner approach with only one [ctlin] and then some kind of routing object.

Hope i make my self clear.

Here's what I've done so far.
Plan is to hook the volume of every loop up to the knobs of my BCR2000, some what like having 24 tape recorders hooked up to a mixer.

Do you get the same problem if you try to switch to alsa?

It's on CDM now:

I´d like to test this, am planning to build something similiar.

Thanks for advice, hardoff and jon2211. The lop and hip amplification seams to do the trick, and larger buffer propably helped as well. Getting decent results now.
Plan is to use a toy piano when I'm finished so hacking the keyboard wouldn't realy help (it's got both headphones and midi out, any way). Otherwise it would have been smart though.
More questions propably to come since this is my first real project.

Ah, i found it now.
Attached is a fixed version of the patch, hope it works on mac to.
Otherwise looking through the individual pd files in the visual patch dir you will find objects that aren't working, rename them as FX said and every thing works fine.

Edit: Attaching the file doesn't seem to work.

I'm running windows so it's not OS X. And it's not the path to pmpd, no objects are missing in any of the subpatches.

Edit: missunderstood your problem a little, acording to this thread http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1491-starting-out-tuio its a problem with the path to pmpd. But adding the path dosn't do the trick for me.

Any one else got a qlue?
