This composition shows one way to save and restore a few numeric input values for a Cube Renderer Patch.

It has published boolean inputs in lieu of command buttons and you can toggle them either way to trigger a pulse to execute that command.

It has primitive error handling on the file loading, just checking for all 6 inputs as non-zero values. You can check the error handling by 1. opening the text file ("my_crazy_cube_settings.txt" gets saved in same folder as composition) 2. deleting some values and save 3. attempting to reload the file by toggling the Restore File input.

Hope you have the AGBook-Stencil font or the screen text will no doubt default to something ugly ;-)

Choose Audio Input Source

Tron's picture

Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to stream the music from my computer (iTunes, VLC, whatever...) into quartz's audio input patch. However, it seems that the only option for me is to run a cable from the audio-out of my computer to a mixer and then back to the audio-in, if I want to be able to hear the sound as well. Has anyone come up with another way to do this? Is there an option to change the input anywhere in the setting for quartz composer? Or is there a patch that allows the selection of other sources?

Thanks, Tron
