Hola,

I'm writing a simple Python application in which I use the DT-Server. For some reason the DT-Server seems to give different id's for markers.

For example, this image x=black:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xxxxx xxxxx x x
x x x x x xxxxx xxxxx x x x x x x x x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

has id 0,0,1,1,1,b according to the analyser but DT-Server gives id 5,0,0,1,1,1

This is bit disturbing! =) Have to admit that I have not read the DT-Server manual (sorry, bad joke) and thus I might be doing something wrong. Any ideas what's my problem.

Well, it seems my nice little graphics did not work as intended... Anyway, it is black rectangle with a smaller rectangle in each corner (inside corner). Two of the smaller rectangles (diagonally) have black dots inside them and then the bigger white area has one dot inside it.

Yeah, try to draw it... =) reminds me of Pictionary.

Hello.

Sorry for the lack of documentation and maintenance on the server and the analyser. All of our efforts have been on the sequencer and drum machine recently.

Did you take the binary dtserver from sourceforge? please note that it is completely outdated (it used a different notation for ID, just prepending the total number of "branches" to it). You should get the DTServer from the drum machine or sequencer packages or compile it from SVN.

There is a known issue with the analyser: a workaround is to always have a small white margin around the markers that you import in the analyser.

Can you please try that and see if it fixes the problem?

BTW, what platform are you on?

The binary is taken from SourceForge and thus I think that causes my problems. I will try the DT-Server from drum machine and try it.

I also have to check if I had a margin around my markers. Thank you for help. This is really interesting project. We are planning to test the drum machine and the application I'm currently writing with kids with special needs.

Thanks for the help!

One more question. It seems that the DT-Server that came with the drum machine gives the id's of the markers as int's. These int's are based on the order in which they are listed in the seq.txt-file... Am I right here... too many markers to check! =)

It seems I forgot to answer in my previous post that I'm (unfortunately) using Windows for this project.

..oops!

Sorry, that's something we changed so recently I even forgot about it.

Yes you guessed correctly the integer is the order of the sequence file.

If calibration is turned on, which I think it is in the version shipped with the audio applications the first sequence is used for calibration -- assuming a setup like the one of drum machine and sequencer. So as a workaround you can just set the first sequence of the file to be one that you do not use.

I hope this helps!

Ok. Excellent...

PS. There's no need for the manuals. Nobody reads them anyway, and if your forum support works like this all the time, I can not complain! =)
