    I was wondering how I might automate a midi control using line. I've been able to assign it to go to 127 with a message and line, and then another message for 127 to 0. I'd like to have it ramp up and down continually, though, go from 0 to 127 to 0, indefinitely or until I stop it.
    Any ideas? What I've tried, thus far, doesn't work.

    Thanks in advance

    I've been, without success, trying to get pd and arduino talking within Vista. Pduino kept crashing, so I tried SMS and at first had no luck. I followed instructions and then opened the simplemessagesystem pd patch and, like Pduino, it crashed. But I try again and, voila, it works. I had an led in pin 13 which I toggle on in pd patch. Light comes one. Close and redo---- to verify it works--crashes as before. Try again, works one more time. Subsequent tries produce original crash. I'm doing the exact same procedure each time. I'm a bit frustrated. Any ideas why it works only a few times out of many attempts?
    Thanks,
    S

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone might know why arduino.test won't open in Windows. I've successfully uploaded "standard firmata" to arduino (duemilanove). When I attempt opening the arduino.test patch, Windows throws out a message saying it needs to close PD.
    Thanks,

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get the output of PD patches into Ableton? Vista is the os. I haven't found anything too substantial on the net. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I have been using [line] alot to make sure visuals move smoothly. Are you looking to send a message or bang a message to initiate the change?

    [0( [127(
    | /
    | /
    [pack f 500] This will make it ramp to the target over a period of 500 ms

    [line]

    I think that construction will work. I will try it here shortly and see if there are more solutions.

    I use the midi control object. I can get it to ramp slowly up to 127 value and through a message I can get it to ramp down. But I haven't found away that will automate it. Essentially, when the value reaches 127, I'd like it to trigger the down ramp and devalue to 0, and then at 0 re-trigger the up-ramp--ad naseum. Thanks, for the suggestions, much appreciated.

    I use an external audio interface from presonus-- a firebox. My main interest is in recording music, so I needed a better soundcard than would be supplied with a general pc. These interfaces always come with their own drivers. There is no need for you to worry about ASIO drivers if your not using an ASIO device. But, I would recommend an external interface/soundcard if you are interested in recording or using your computer as an DAW.
    Take Care,

    I don't know for certain if this is the proper way but I went to Startup, under file in pd, and just typed save all settings as a new entry. Now when I start pd, my asio setting is saved. One thing though, it doesn't seem to save my latency settings--still defaults to 70.

    Thanks for the suggestion. I actually looked at Jack for Windows and it's a bit out of my league. I have know idea how to set it up or even what to do with it.
