hi all
i got korg nanokotrol. it works with PD, but:

Warning: midi input is dangerous in Microsoft Windows\; see Pd manual)

what it means?
exactly for what its dangerous?

thank you ShankarBaba.
I would left winXP and start learning linux. seems like pd running under linux better than under winxp. Debian GNU/Linux, Red Hat, Fedora, Mandriva, SuSE, Gentoo, Ubuntu. Which one to choose?

hi

if you want to check out GNU/Linux try pure:dyne from goto10.org.
its a live cd. You just download a cdimage. burn it and youre ready to go.

I've got my nanokontrol working fine on winxp. You always get that warning when creating a midi object on xp, but it never caused pd to behave strange. Although i must add i've been struggling to get a behringer bcr2000 to work (it works under 0.38.4 but not under 0.40.3).

this warning only shows up in Pd-extended.
Use the latest Pd-vanilla for the most updated Pd on XP.
cause Millers bug-fixes eventually makes it into Pd-extended.

thanx guys
i cant understand how to install pd vanilla..

just download from http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html.
unzip to a location of your choice
run /pd/bin/pd.exe or pd.com

Thanks a lot

I use korg's nanokontrol and it doesn't crash my pd-extended 0.43.4 (on windows 7)

but when I use many knobs and sliders very fast for about an hour or so my controler sometimes fraks out (ex. one knob sends signal like 2 knobs and 1 slider, buttons are reverted - 127 is 0 and 0 is 127 etc.)

do you think is a matter of pd-extended and I should use vanilla instead?

and if so does everything in vanilla (~ objects and gem objects) work the same way as in pd-extended?

Hello there !
some times later, I reactivate this old post...
I have a problem with mine. I am quiting apple to get on a windows right now, and I am trying to install everything. I get the 0.40.3 pd version cause I've always used this one. I plugged my korg nanokontrol2 on my computer. i can find it in the media MIDI section, but it doesnt react on my cltin object ! nothings moving !.... i am in trouble for my live performance... Help ?
thanks
