[PD] (newbie) troubles and questions: monorhythm, iemlib, pdstartup etc

[mark]

Quick answers:

textfile is cool - make a textfile object,right click (or whatever
works for your platform) and choose "help". Basically its a simple
sequencer that stores its events in a textfile - "banging" the input causes
the sucsessive events to be output. it does a bang at the end of the list
which you can use to do a "rewind".

Attack is Waldorf Attack - which I run as a VSTi (using vst~)

You can use the bangs from monrythm to trigger envelopes on your PD
generated sounds. One of the things I use it for is to trigger
envelopes on the output of a granulator type affair (all in PD)

That track is not particularly typicall of my work - its a good demo of
attack and monorhythm though. (check out more at http://www.junklight.com

Please excuse my ignorance, but how do I set up an
arrangement of textfile, text file i take it is an
object and not a text file.

I searched around and couldn't find attack, do you
know where i can find it?

ahhhh I see it is the waldorf attack. midi isn't up
and running right now in pd, but I'll see what I can
do. Is there anyway to sequence a simple fm
oscillator-turned drum within pd? Eventually I would
seek to do all my sequencing and audio within pd, or
at least most of it.

I appreciate your work and share your sentiment about
dance music. I will check out your song when I get
home later tonight.
