Getting it to run +==================== +1.1. Prerequisites +------------------ +- PureData >= 0.38 (http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html) +- iemlib >= 1.15 (http://pd.iem.at/iemlib/) + +1.2. OS-specific issues +----------------------- +1.2.1. Win +---------- +In order to look nicely, you may have to adjust the font sizes in the patches +(they are created on linux at a screen resolution of 1400x1050, so there will be +slight font incompatibilities whenever you use them with another OS and/or +another screen resolution). +The default font (the small black one) is changed via the Edit->Font menu. +The GUI fonts are changed by right-clicking on the respective GUI (or on the +top left corner of canvases) and choosing "Properties". + + +2. Using the patches +==================== +The PureMeasurement Collection of pd patches allows you to perform acoustical +measurements with your computer (equipped with an audio interface). +They use the PureData software (supplemented by an additional library: iemlib, +see 1.1). +If you are new to PureData, please read the concise introduction by M. Puckette +(http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/Pd_documentation/) and check out the examples in the +help menu of PureData to get an idea of how it works. +When launching PureData, there should be messages stating that all parts of +iemlib were successfully loaded (like "iemlib1 (R-1.15) library loaded!"). + +The patches are organized as "tools" (small useful things you could use to +build your own patches) or "applications" (more sophisticated patches you can +use out-of-the-box). + +When using them, there are two main rules to follow: +- interactive elements usually have a WHITE background +- look at the comments or into the "readme" subpatches + + +--HAVE FUN and get your measurement right, +Matthias + +Oldenburg, 28 February 2006 |
