 Hallo!


 There are also ambisonic externals from IEM and Jasch, for better

 I would not say better ;) - it depends ...

 Maybe a Spatialisation with Pure-Data page would be nice - is there 
 something like that out there already? a  web page, academic papers, 
 performance documentation, patches??

 Linux sounds better than Windows!
 i have speaker cables made of pure gold.
 i know what i'm talking about.
 cheers,
 sven.

I'm not sure whether this was serious or sarchastic.

  nobody will deny that.
 of course not. at least not here.

Well.. Of course I won't deny that Linux IS better than Windows, but I 
am quite skeptic about the statement that it SOUNDS better.

Does it, really?? In which sense?

And again (as in the case of Max vs PD), is the comparison between things 
people do on windows vs things people do on linux, or between the same thing 
played on the two platforms (e.g. the same patch in PD on windows vs on 
linux - and OBVIOUSLY on the same machine)?

Or was the discussion about which one sounds better when PRONOUNCED? (i.e. 
linux sounds better than windows, in which case I do agree)


P.S. what about MacOS?

SIMULTAN04 Festival - Screening - Call for entry | www.simultan.org 
---
SIMULTAN04 - Video and Media Arts Festival will take place in Timisoara, Romania
between May 22nd -24th 2008.

Under the theme Temporary Tactics, Simultan04 explores a conflict situation, 
a difficult cohabitation between the independent audio-visual works and the 
cultural, 
social and political context in which they are born.
Temporary Tactics wishes to highlight time and space connected speculative 
situations, 
the practice of acting and reacting, of making and creating, 
in the moment and in response to the stimulus of one's immediate environment.
---
SIMULTAN04 is open for submissions of innovative works which that make use of 
technology 
in a creative, ingenious way or are based on a peculiar, unusual story.
The video section is open to all video artists and not only, who can apply with 
narratives, 
experimental videos, animations, vj-ing movies and motion graphics.

Those interested may apply with a maximum number of 2 video works, 
each having a duration that must not exceed 3 minutes.

Terms and conditions, technical details, application form here:
http://www.simultan.org/en/2008/callforentry.htm

The deadline for the submission of works and applications is April 10th, 2008 
(postmark)

After the event, a DVD/catalogue will be published, each of the admitted 
participants 
will receive a DVD/catalogue by the end of 2008.

no application fee required!

For additional information please contact: Levente Kozma

Re: [PD] Pd sounds better than Max?

2008-03-08 Thread Andy Farnell


I looked for some sounds that demonstrate the difference of oscillator
accuracy. All I could find are these two snips from tracks, but it's a 
fair comparison because;

1) Functions of Time (1996) An all Csound composition.
http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/sounds/FunctionsOfTime-track3.mp3

2) Look Ma, No hands! (2005) An all Pd composition.
http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/sounds/Nohands-short.mp3

Both use the same patch (the undulating diffraction effect). It's 
comparable because I translated the Csound version directly to Pd, both 
are 64 oscillator banks and it's clear that the Csound one sparkles while
the Pd one sounds a bit muddy.

It would be good to do a Max vs Pd comparison of the same someday.

I can't find any information about any other section in the call for entry,

Because it's optimised for real-time performance.

Max/Pd strike a careful balance between for real-time capability.
The amazing sound quality of Csound comes about because it was designed
for offline rendering, and it got realtime by dint of increased CPU speeds.

Like the difference between a 3D games engine and rendering a raytracing
scene in 3DMax. 

In a way, it's not really a fair comparison at all, or at least we could
say what did you expect?!

It would be very nice to have a cleansound library of dsp objects,

[PD] also some pd-music

2008-03-08 Thread Yvan Vander Sanden
Hi.

I have put a recording from yesterday's performance online. Music for  
QT, the quartertone organ from the logos foundation. It's a live  
recording (and video) from the first performance. Just for those  
people who are interested in the things pd is used for.

About the use of pd:

Parts of the music are controled by 2 Wii's, using my own wiimote  
external. The music itself is completely programmed in pd, with some  
extra externals i'll put online when I've dome some more work on them.  
For example all rhythms come out of a database with things I played on  
piano. PD selects the rhythms during performance according to several  
rules.

The first minute of the performance is not audible on this movie. The  
wii's adjust the speed of the organ's windblower, but that's a bit too  
silent for my video-camera. (The audience could hear it though.)

Last remark: it's quartertone music, it's not out of tune. :-)

Find it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwrcH8U2dR8

Regards,

yvan

How the two programs are structured is a different question.  I don't

uses vectors and scalars for audio and control signals, somewhat

Csound has a huge library, some of the more advanced stuff might be
