Hey guys, I couldn't find anything similar to the issue I'm having, so here goes.

Whenever I run a gemwin through my patch and start to render a picture, I get the following error in my console:

GEM: recordQT: error -43 in FSMakeFSSpec()
GemImageLoad: Unable to find file: ***
parID : 0
[pix_image]: loading of '***' failed

The *** represents the filepath, which is correct. I also constantly get "GL: invalid enumerant" whenever GEM is rendering.

I've tried updating my video driver (Radeon HD 7870) and I downloaded the latest versions of Pd and GEM.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hey guys, I've been a stalker for a couple weeks now, and normally I can figure out how to get things set up the way I want them to, but I'm having loads of trouble with this so I registered to ask.

I'm trying to use Pd to control playing clips in Ableton. I'm not trying to use Pd as a MIDI keyboard or anything; I want to use Pd as kind of an Ableton controller. I've read that I need some kind of virtual MIDI cable so I downloaded MIDI Yoke and MIDI Ox, but for the life of me I can't get everything cooperating.

I can get MIDI Ox to display that it is reading MIDI data from Pd, but it is not throwing it forward into Ableton. I currently have it set so Pd outputs to MIDI Yoke Input 1, and MIDI Ox routes MIDI Yoke Input 1 to MIDI Yoke Output 1, and MIDI Yoke Output 1 is set to On and Remote in Ableton.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because my brain has just about exploded here.

dwan and Gromit, if either of you are ever in Wisconsin, let me know so I can buy you both beers! My project has gotten further just this weekend that it has in the past few weeks of development.

Thanks to you both! Cheers!

dwan, I've got it set via MIDI Yoke so Pd now communicates with Ableton, but now how do I write my Pd patch to trigger clips on and off in Ableton? Do I need to send certain messages to Live via makenote, noteout, ctlout, etc? And if so, what messages?

Yeah I noticed a delay also, and my application will be pretty time sensitive. Any ideas?

Gromit if I lived anywhere near you I'd offer to buy you a beer. Thanks man! All that MIDI crap was crap.

I can't thank you enough for this. Big ups to you man.

I read that you need MIDI Ox to do the appropriate routing within MIDI Yoke, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm relatively new to the whole MIDI deal.

Gromit: How would I write my Pd patch to output scripts?
