Hi there !

I got a problem, a very silly one. (and I'm sorry for that ^^ )
I got a subpatch which got a patching problem, it sends thousands of "error: inlet: no method for 'bang' ".

Most of the time, It takes a few seconds to find out solution for this kind of issue, but here I don't find it at all. I've checked all my bang message and boxes they're linked to and I didn't find any issue. Anyway the subpatch seems to work well, but it's annoying to have thousands of error message in the PD message window.

So if anyone can give it a look, It would be very nice

here is the damn subpatch (I just took an exemple and modify it a bit, and you won't be able to make it work cause there is lots of receiver from other subpatch, but maybe you'll see what I didn't see )

Hi all !

I'm trying to send an audio stream from PD to VVVV (in order to create a nice visualiser according to the sound), I got no problem to receive or send simple data (like floats) between vvvv and pd, but I don't know how to send an audio stream with [sendOSC] (I didn't find any clue in the help file)
Is it possible to do it ?

Edit: Ok, finally I manage to do it without OSCs (by capturing sound directly from my soundCard in vvvv)

But, I would like to send 3 differents audio stream from pure data to vvvv (from 3 different abstractions, I would like to create a visualiser for each one, working simultaneously)that's why I'm still looking for a way to send them to vvvv (with OSCs?).

so if anyone has an idea, please tell me ^^

hi there !

still working on my project ^^ (never give up!)
Now I got a new issue, I have a metro and I want it to start (toggle on) when a certain value is above 2 (and stop/toggle off when this value is under).
I tried with a [>], a [sel 0 1] under and bang under it, (bang linked to the metro's toggle) but when it's above 2, it bangs repeatedly, so it's toggling on/off constantly, and I would like it to toggle just one time when it come above 2 and then toggle another time when it come under.

Is there any way to do it ?

Hi everybody !

I got a problem with a line ramp, I try to make a ramp with variable values by using the $ sign, but I always got for $1 and $2: "argument number out of range".

here is a screenshot of it:

I looked in the help patch about dollar sign but I didn't find answer about that.
does somebody know what's wrong with it ?

Hi!

I got some datas incoming in PureData (from vvvv), floats which varies in a certain range and I would like to use them to make vary some stuffs (like sliders) in my pd patch.
But, for example, I got a floats which varies between -0.5 and 0.5, and I would like to link it to a slider in pd which got to vary between 70 and 300.
Is there a way in pd to adapt variation range simply ?

Hi everybody !

I'm on PD since 3/4 hours working on a patch to generate loud beats, but yet I didn't get what I was expecting (I'm still a newbie on PD, so There must be pd'stuffs that I don't know)

So does anybody know a way or a patch made to generate and manipulate loud beats (without sampling existing ones ) please ?

Hi, I'm working on a color tracking interface but I got some problem (in fact, my patch work, but don't properly I think)
First I show you the patch :

in fact, as you can see , there is a red dot on the left side of the gem window (i'm shooting a white sheet with a red dot drew on it with my webcam, and with pix_alpha, I mask every colors except red) but [pix_blob] allways calculate red barycenter around x=0.5 / y=0.5 (on the center) and don't change values when the red dot isn't on the center (same for blue and green blob). I don't know why (maybe pix_blob detect red pixels in the black area, i don't really know what is happening) but I really want to track properly red area (like in this case barycenter should be more like x=0.2 / y=0.5.

so if anyone as an idea to make it track colors area properly, please tell me : )

Hi all !

I got some problems (just 2 don't worry )

First : I'm trying to use [pix_multiblob] , but everytime I try to link it to [pix_texture] (linked to [pix_video] with my webcam in input ) pd crash litterally (so for the moment i use [pix_blob] but there is some more function in [pix_multiblob] I would like to use)

Second : I'm trying to map different color aera in a videostream, so to do it I link [pix_contrast] to [pix_texture] to clean and saturate a bit my videostream, then I link [pix_colorreduce] to create clear color aeras (and it work pretty good ) but I would like know if it's possible to mask some colors (to turn them to black) to let just one color appearing (for exemple to let just red appear)?

If anyone know something about these stuff, please share with me ^^

Hi all

I'm trying to learn how to use my webcam in puredata, so I create a pix_video object, then I go in the pix_video help menu and in the help window there is 2 patch, one with Gemwin and the other one with pix_video which should display video from my webcam but when I toggle it on, in the main window there is an error :

error: pix_videoDS: Could not start graph playback, hr 0x8007001F

I tried to google it, and didn't find anything clear about it. (I read something about it on the microsoft site, they said that it can be solved by installing Windows Media Coder and AmCap, I did it but nothing changed )

So, Does anyone know something about this error ?

for information I'm running on XP (sp2) with DX9sdk and my webcam is a
Creative Live! cam Optia AF

oh yeah !

that was that, the trigger bang was linked to the wrong inlet of [- ] ,I didn't saw because it was aligned with the [- ] inlets (and in fact there was also 2 other [t b] wrong linked to [- ] boxes like this in the lower part of the subpatch, maybe because I did a copy/past quickly)

Thx so much dude ^^

Hi!

I'm sorry cause this won't be a useful post but I just want to thanks you a lot !

This 7 band EQ really works good :D
I was looking for something like that for a while and this EQ rules !

thanks for that

Currently I'm trying different ways,
I'm using fiddle~ and sending controls values to vvvv (but I got some difficulty to generate curves with it in vvvv) (if it works, I will try adding values from bonk~ and env~ )
also I try to send audio stream with external applications, I tried JACK but it don't wanna launch correctly on XP, also somebody told me about VirtualAudioCable, I tried it, and it seems to work (I think it's quite similar to JACK).
It creates some virtual cables available as audio input and output in Pd, but is it possible to have several output at the same time in pd ?
for exemple, abstraction "a" send output signal using virtualcable 1 and abstraction "b" send output signal using virtualcable 2 ?
maybe this is stupid but I ask that because I saw that there is the option "use multiple device" in MMIO, but when I try to set 2 virtualcable as output it send the error :
"separate audio device choice not supported\; using sequential devices."

Ok Great !

Thanks a lot guys

Hi, thanks for your help ^^

in fact I'm running on XP, and I'm building a patch in PD with 3 general sound modules (for example : one for drums/rythm, one for bass and one for treble), and I would like to generate 3 graphs in vvvv, one for the drums'module, one for the bass'module and one for the treble'module.
that's why I need to send each module's output separately (and so I can't just capture sound from my sound card).

My graphs in vvvv are generated simply, just classic audio curves (I need vvvv because I put some graphic shaders on them) that's why your suggestion about sending control numbers could match.

But I never did that before, how can I get control numbers from an audio output in pd ?

also, I took a look at JACKdmp, It seems very interesting, I'll try it tomorrow, and see if it can match with my work.

as simple as you said, it works perfectly just with the [> 2] connected to the metro's toggle !

edit : after some work on it, (as you said) the change box was needed also, but anyway,
thanks so much dude !

thanks claudiusmaximus , I Found [addcomma( with an example, it's really useful !

ah ok !

so I can't bang over a [$1 $2( message for example. Thanks dude, I learn something important today
now it works, but how do I do If I want to create a ramp like this [$1, $2 $3( and bang it ? (because I need to unpack $1 $2 and $3 in order to bang them, but by unpacking, The comer disappear)
more clearly if I do :

[pack f f f]
|
|
[set $1 $2 $3(
|
|
[$1, $2 $3(

the comer between $1 and $2 disappeared when values are displayed (so it can't be used by a line for example) (I know that the set message isn't useful but i use it to display values in the message under it)

thanks dude for the response, but it still don't work, it's really weird, the message is triggered by a bang from a metro (around 500) and the 2 floats came from webcam video analysis (that's why they are always varying and why i need "$" to create a ramp with there value, $1 is varying between 0 and 1, and $2 between 300 and 1000)
but what does it mean exactly in this case "argument number out of range" ?

Hi!

I'm so happy, in fact the Hardoff's second method works perfectly, I made a mistake while placing it in my patch, but now I placed it well and no more click ! ( really!! desapeared ! my beats sounds good )
so thank you so much hardoff ! ^^

hi!

Thanks Hardoff for your help
I tried both of your method, Clicks are thinner now, but I can still hear them when I hit repeatedly kicks, so i tried your method 1) also on the other lines I got in my patch (to avoid line sudden jumps) but it didn't work.
I'm sorry cause I'm a newbie, so I'm really turning my head around with this problem but I don't know what to do or to try...

but anyway, If you (or anybody else of course ^^ ) have an idea to avoid those annoying clicks in this patch, please give me a hand

I modified my patch, so now you can test it, just press the bang on the top to set values, and then hit the kick'bang below the metro repeatedly (or you can also use the metro with a frequency between 200 and 700 ) and you'll hear those devilish clicks +_+
