[PD] Re: P5 Glovage

[Macciza]

G'day,
Yes Frank - it looks like P5 has hit PD - I'm glad to have had a 'hand' 
in it ;-) And can't wait to see where it all goes from here?

Jason, sorry to hear about your difficulties on Linux :-( I'm on Mac 
OSX and it was pretty much plug and play, once I got the drivers. On 
the Mac side it is a .kext driver and a commandline app to tell it to 
send data. Data is sent as an OSC command followed by the data stream. 
Plugging into PD was simply 'dumpOSC-> OSCroute' and your there.
Not sure about the Linux side of things- Ross Bencina and others have 
P5 to MIDI stuff.
Theres a fairly active dev discussion on Yahoo. Check that out. See 
message from yesterday.

Cheers,
Macca.
