Hello, greetings from Belgium,<br>
<br>
I am starting with Pd and have some questions:<br>
- does Pd support multi-threading? If not, is it possible to launch many Pd instances and sync them?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>take a look at the [pd~] object </div><div>or you can simply run multiple pd instances and send messages between them...</div>
<div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
- can Pd dynamically change its patches without stopping the engine? Can Pd unload some objects, open other patches, connect them?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Yes, though you have to take care a bit. If you load huge files or create or delete many tilde objects, the dsp engine may be interrupted.</div>
<div>look at "dynamic patching", or 'pd-msg' stuff</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">- can Pd run without GUI, even without X support?<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>yes, do "pd -nogui", don't know if you have to have X running though, I suppose not?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
- can Pd be embedded in an application, and controlled programmatically? (if not, I can use OSC)<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>We are using pd as a soundengine for a game development project. ( <a href="http://cityinabottle.org">cityinabottle.org</a> ) </div><div>The main program is python and pd is running in the background (-nogui) with OSC communication.</div>
<div><br></div><div>gr,</div><div>Tim</div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Kind regards,<br>
