Hi,
anyone use pd on Mandriva 2008 Spring?
I'm not able to run pd on this O.S.
______________________
I've downloaded "pd-0.41-0.src.tar.gz" and I've installed it succesfully on Mandriva Free 2008 Spring
(using ./configure, make, make install).
But when I load "pure data" from a root terminal, it go in loop with message:

error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
priority 98 scheduling enabled.
priority 96 scheduling enabled.
watchdog: signaling pd...
watchdog: signaling pd...
watchdog: signaling pd...

ecc.ecc.

The latest Tcl/Tk libraries are installed.
How i can solve this problem?

Thanks,

Hi,
I'm starting to use GEM, and now I'm able to draw a [square], a [circle], etc. and to rotate, translate and scale its.
But how can I draw a single point? (a white pixel)

Thanks,

Hi,
is there a way to load an image file (.jpg or .bmp), "scan" it, with a defined velocity, so to convert a picture in numbers (practically to take the coordinates in number boxes)?

The image could have a black background (ignored by scan process), and lines or points drawed in white (but also in other colours..).
Then I would use the numbers taken from those white sketches (lines, points, rectangles, etc.) as frequencies, so that a curved line is converted in a "glissando", a point in a "pluck", a rectangle in a "cluster", etc.

Is there a patch about this?
Any suggestions?

Thank's,

Hi,
I would sum the numbers taken from some [number boxes], using [sum] object (zexy).
How can I complete this simple patch?
(number boxes could be more than two)

numbers generated simultaneously with a definited metro
| /
| /
[7] [4]
| /
| /
[pack f f]
|
|
[ ?? ]
|
|
[sum]
|

[11]

Hi,
I have a problem:

There are two [number box], that output random numbers simultaneously, with a metro of 1000.

There is a [counter] in a range 1-5 with the same metro:
it count 1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,4,5,1,2...etc.

Now, in an other [number box] I would take:

the number from the first [number box], if counter is 1;

the number from second [number box], if counter is 2,3,4,5

any suggestion?

Thank's..

Hi,
how is possible to implement in a patch an iterative algorithm, similar at the "do-while" loop?

For example:

generate the Fibonacci Numbers.
The algorithm is this:
F(1)=1
F(2)=1
F(n)=F(n-1)+F(n-2) n>=3

Output: 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,....
is sent in a number box, with a metro.
I would choose when must stop the cycle.

Any suggestions?
Other examples of recursive algorithms in pd?
Thank's..

Hi,
how can I write in a .txt file the numbers taken from a number box (for example scrolling with mouse)?

I'm not able to complete this patch:

[number]
|
|
[..??..]
|
| [write C:/myfile.txt(
| /
| /
| /
|/
[textfile]
|
|
[print list]

Thank's!

Hi,
where can I find some pd externals like the string "pluck" (Karplus-Strong algorithm) and other sounds (bells, percussions, granular synthesis, keyboard, ecc.)?

Thank's,
tuco

Your simple patch work well,
thanks!

t.

I have succeeded in both ways, thank you!
