This has nothing to do with PD, but jsut wanted poeple to know I have been monkeying around with Wordpress to create a blog anyone can post to about stuff they or anyone else has done. Kind of like a reverse twitter. The technology is pretty cool, but has taken a little work, so I haven't been doing any PD stuff in a while. Anyway, just in case you want to check it out, here's a link:

It's been a while since I tinkered with any of my pd patchs, but recently went to an old one and found that some of the objects couldn't be created. Here's a list of what could not be created that I know of so far:

spigot~
wahwah~
getdir
folder_list

All of these objects worked at some point previously. I am on a mac powerbook using pd version 0.39.3-extended. I have GEM installed, but that may be the only additional library installed.

Can someone tell me how to get these objects back?

Thanks!

Last night while watching Tv I put together an 8 step sequencer to use with my monome. Thought I would share it. Works fine without a monome by clicking on screen. It sends midi out to any app, no frills, but so far seems solid.

Here's a link:

and here's where I've been posting my patches:

Working on putting together a GEM patch that destroys video clips into color abstraction. Here's a what the output looks like for now. The base material is a clip of a guy riding a bike.

I am new to GEM and have wirtten a video player wit hsome effects on it. I would like to record, or export, or render the video with the effects on it. I am on a G4 running OSX 10.4. I understand there is a pix_record object, but you need pidip and pdp to run it, which will not work on OSX. Is there any way to write a video file (no need for audio), or do I have to use a screen capture method and put up with fuzzy resolution?

Thanks!

I finally got around to posting on my site a couple of patches I have created/modded. One is a mod to hardoff's magnificent 2 channel player. There are a couple of midi sequencers, and a patch for a monome that just triggers different lighting patterns. Nothing super crazy but thought I would post them in case they are useful to anyone. Here is the link:

I have found a fix:

Load library that contains missing object into line on Preferences>StartUp
Save settings
Quit PD
Reopen PD
Remove recently added library from Pref>Startup
Save settings
Quit PD

Now object will load correctly

I have now realized that PD cannot create many objects from the following libraries:

sigpack
smlib
pixeltango
unauthorized
maxlib
hcs

I can find the help info for the objects that are missing, but the objects appear with broken lines around them. ANy info would be helpful. Thanks!

That's very helpful to know. Thanks, man, I appreciate your help.

thanks for the info. I'm running PD .39 extended and can't get it the object to work. Good to know that someone has gotten it to. Does it just ouput stills, or can it output a .mov file (or something like .mov)?
