I'm trying to understand some of the math functions in PureData.

What I want to do is be able to toggle between three octaves of the same frequency range.
Approximately
130 - 164
260 - 328
520 - 656
I want to use a panning knob to move around in these frequencies. With a bang I want to be able to change between these ranges. How do I do this with the math functions?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

I'm very new to Arduino. For my first project I'm trying to do something very simple.
I want to have 4 small vibrating motors randomly turn on/off using pduino.

I can easily get one motor working and turning on and off using a [random] object. As soon as I add a second motor though, it begins to affect the other motor and causes a pulsating when it is on. I'm assuming it has to do with powering the motors, but I'm new at this and don't know how to adjust accordingly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm new to algorithms and looking for some assistance.

Just want a simple one that is an additive process. 1 - 1, 2 - 1, 2, 3 - 1, 2, 3, 4.

Not exactly sure how to do this. I tried messing about with a counter that keeps resetting itself at different times, but could not seem to get it to work.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

I've asked questions about this before and gotten some nice help from you folks.

My recent dilemma is that PD uses on lot of CPU when I check my activity monitor, but using very little in my load meter. ANy ideas of what could cause this inconsistency. It really starts to heat up my computer and it seems really unnecessary as the load meter is telling me i'm using very little CPU.

Any help is appreciated.

Is there an object that can send several different values at one time? I'm working with OSC and don't want to have to patch a million different sends...
Any help?

What is the message to clear an array or table? I can't seem to find it!

Hey folks,
I'm slightly ignorant of technical issues such as this, so bare with me.
Recently, PureData has been using a lot more CPU than it used to and it starts to really heat up my comp. Its a relatively new MacBook Pro (1year old). My patches have become slightly more complex, but I used to be able to run multiple patches at once with no CPU problem.
Any ideas of solutions, causes or anything else?
Let me know. I would appreciate it.

It seems that pix_record only records video or picture images, but I want to record other things like color squares and things.
How do i do this?

Can somebody explain CPU usage to me in terms of subpatching and abstractions etc...?

I have found that since I started using more abstractions, my CPU usage has gone way up. ANy ideas, solutions, etc...

Does anybody know of an extension for PD that uses the information from the newer MAC trackpad?
Seems like there are many more possibilities now with all the multiple finger options and all that.
Thanks

When I use GEM along with sound synthesis in PD it gets very poppy and glitchy. Is there a easy fix for this?
Any suggestions?

Is there an object that can cut off any signal below or above a certain amplitude?

Hey
This might be a newbie question, but here it goes anyway.
I want to record into an array, but I want to have a bang end the recording into the array. For the most part, you have to set the length of the sample that you are about to record. How can I make this sample length variable according to when I bang it to end?

How can I change the number of samples that I want played from a table while the table is continuously looping?
I can use messages like |0 44100( to play that many samples, but can I change this amount that is being looped while it is looping?

I want to use the same tables to load files and to record live loops into. After I resize the tables to fit loaded samples, how do I resize them to smaller sizes to record live loops?
Thanks

I'm looking to create some automatic fade outs to keep my hands free. I'm using a declining counter to do the fade. Is it possible to have the counter stop at 0 and not continue?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks

I'm running the latest release of PD on my new MacBook Pro with Snow Leapord. I'm having all sorts of buggy issues.
1. Once I start PD i have to open a file before it will let me access my preferences.
2. Once I start using it, it will work fine until I stop computing the audio. Then the program pretty much freezes. It will not compute any audio and it will not let me close the program. I have to force quit it each time.

Can anybody offer me some insight as to how I might be able to fix this?
Thanks

Narrowed it down to the use of abstractions. Still troubleshooting, but making progress. Do folks generally always keep a patch and all abstractions in one folder so they are reading from the same place? Does that help CPU usage?

Thanks for any help

thanks thanks thanks!

So I've gotten two instances running and my sound and video are working great. Now I'm working on sending information back and forth from (audio) PD to (video) PD.

Any recommendations on what type of sending would be the best? I've messed around with netsend and OSC. Just wondering if there is anything easier that I'm missing.

THANKS
