Hello there,

I'm stuck with an apparently simple problem but I didn't find topics online relevant to rounding.

I'm using sigmund~ for pitch detection in form of MIDI numbers. I want to round up values from 55.95 to 56 etc but I don't find how to do that. [int] just cuts the decimals above a value so for 55.95 I would get 55 instead of 56.
Any ideas? I would be glad to hear some advice.

I want to understand how a Lua script may be executed in Pd so I was looking for the Pd-lua object. But I can't really find it. Claudius Maximus' link to the goto10 repository generated an error message:

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

Pd-lua is not included in Pd-extended for OS X, is it? I also can't find a OS X compiled version here in the 'extra' folder.

Hi,
has anybody worked yet with MS Kinect? There's this page with various packages to use the device in different environments

http://openkinect.org/wiki/Getting_Started

On paper it should be a breeze to use with Pd (I'm thinking of Mac) but I'm yet hesitating to spend the money.

There is no post at all about TC code that Pd would receive. Does anybody about anything that exists in this respect? Already MIDI clock via [midirealtimein] is PC only so I'm 'worried' about MTC on the Mac... I was sending MTC from a generator over IAC into Pd - attaching a [print] to [midiin] displays loads of data and actually I believe Pd crashes - the flow of data continues even if I remove the MTC generator (Logic btw) and CPU load rises to +90% on both processors before I pull the plug.
So what is happening here? I do not need MTC as such, if there's another way to retrieve TC it would sure be cool, I should say necessary for a lot of things.

Hi,
the MacBook Pro comes with an IR remote control that is Apple configured to a a few things in iTunes and Keynote. When opening the device in [hid] there are only 2 buttons actively receiving data, the + and - switches. That is kind of poor and I do not believe I can activate the others, I mean Apple Inc. monopolizes them for their own warez.

Now I am wondering if anybody has tried 3rd party 'universal' remote controls for TV, DVD player etc. that are on sale in supermarkets. Being 'universal' there should be a chance that they have no manufacturer's limitation in-built. And some of them have a host of controls...
Anyone ever had any success? Please let me know here.

Hi,
strange enough there is no [hidin] object available in the hid library for OS X, I wonder which other object would be recommendable to use under OS X.6
I'm asking because 'nothing works', although I attribute this for the time being to a cheapo no-name game controller that I was offered.
Any experience / advice for using a game controller under OS X would be very much appreciated.

Cheers
Jurgen

The object [midirealtimein] when used under OS X generates the error message that it works under MSW only and doesn't receive any data under OS X for real. Is there any other way to receive MIDI clock into Pd running OS X?
For the sake of curiosity is there a way to receive MTC - although I don't need it right now.

I'm sending MIDI data over the IAC driver from various apps but Pd remains inactive. I tried both [notein] and the raw [midiin] with [midiparse] without any data reaching Pd. I have MIDI Monitor running which reports data flowing over the bus.
Does anybody make MIDI IN work and if so how?
Strange enough [midiin] reports '2' on the right outlet which stands for port#.
From memory it was working a year ago but I didn't save any patches AND I was using OS X.4 then. I assume I forget something...

OS X.6.3
Pd extended .41.4

Best wishes

Hi,
a general question here. In many patches I download I find that the authors use $0 (zero) labels for send-symbol in GUIs, like $0-1 etc. I do not understand this preference.
I know, one can give almost any name to labels. But just why do several people use these?

Just curious...

Hi,

when I attempt to connect I get a "your banned from this forum" message which must be ip address related - because I get it even before I log in with my id.
When I circumvent the censors (I live in China) and use different ways and a different ip address I do not get the "banned" message and everything is cool.
I emailed to the admin and didn't get a reply. I don't see any reason to do more or less complicated things to get to this forum and participate, so I want the ban on my ip address lifted.
So who's in charge? How does someone ban me and then doesn't reply to my protests? I do not understand and I'd be glad to hear from an admin here just what is going on.
