Hi,

Is it possible to start pd from command line with "compute audio" checkbox checked by default?

I cannot find a way?

-dsp 1

??

I try the flag "-dsp 1" and it did not work. I check the documentation again and there is no such flag. Am i missing something?

I found a solution. Just add a loadbang object and an internal message having the following lines and connect both:
;
pd dsp 1

This will cause the opened file to start dsp processing automatically if loadbangs are not suppressed. It sends an internal message to pd to start dsp processing.

i knew about this, but i thought you want pd to start dsp on stratup, independent from loading a patch?
i still didn't find a way, although there is the startup flag "-send" you should be able to send messages on startup to pd, but i tried out a whole bunch of messages and i always got only error messages......
something like:
-send "pd dsp 1"
-send "; pd dsp 1"
..... and so one. none of them worked - someone's got an idea?

well, if you want it to be patch independent, could you create a patch that has

[loadbang]
|
[;
pd dsp 1(

in it, then open the patch.

wait, if you startup pd -nogui can you still use the keyboard shorcuts?
