Hi there,

the project I am currently working on involves synthesis of short samples and their playback. I intend to use PD as frontend for my synthesizer as well as for the playback of sounds. The synthesizer itself however is implemented in Matlab. I therefore should transmit my parameters to Matlab somehow. It was quite easy to generate a TCP object in Matlab and to receive the data in PD via netreceive. However, the other way round won't work. Both the PD netsend object and Matlab appear to be clients which require a host. While netreceive seems to provide this host for Matlab, netsend somehow doesn't. Has anyone every had this problem before or is there an alternative to a TCP/UDP connection?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

I'm not at all familiar with matlab, but does the TCP object have anything like a listen flag? the equvalent in a shell script would be "nc -l".

oh, hey what about a bash script that acts as a server in between?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have absolutely no experience with bash scripts. The idea with the extra server is great anyway. I might build a server in VVVV since communication between VVVV and both Matlab and PD works.

You could render as files and then (pre!) load them in Pd.
Look at 2.control.examples #15-16

When things won't listen to your net sends you can always try catching from a port using a listener like netcat and feeding it to an application stdin

application < netcat -l -p 3000 127.0.0.1

do something in your scriot to process the stdin stream
