[PD] ann: pd as the engine for our class installation
This semester I taught a course where Engineers and Artists worked together to create interactive art. For the final project we took over an art gallery and built a virtual environment using 12 computers, 12 speakers, 12 projectors and several Arduinos. We built and networked everything in Pd/GEM. Unfortunately the video doesn't capture much of the very cool sounds of the environment, but at least you will see the networked sparklers running in GEM. I hope you enjoy: http://vimeo.com/994958 I am so grateful for Pd as a resource for me, my classes and my community. I send this hoping that perhaps a developer or 2 will find it gratifying to see some of the work that we are able to accomplish with this amazing tool. -John -- John Harrison http://alumni.media.mit.edu/~harrison ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] frequency components analysis
Dear list, I'm using sigmund~ for extracting the freq. components of a sound but I was wondering if you know another object that does the same job using a different approach. I'd like to compare the results obtained by different methods. Thank in advance for your replies! Julian Villegas Me pregunto de un modo pensativo Que significa ser Colombiano? No se le respondi.

[PD] flash server open on osx
Hi, the flashserver object has a nice feature to open flash files from within pd, but unfortunately this does not work on osx. it works on windows, not sure about linux. flashserver announces that it is opening a file: flashserver: going to open fooflash, but then nothing happens.

[PD] how to send song position pointer?
hi everyone! i'm trying to send a song position pointer-message to a sequencer via the midiout object, but i don't get it to work. as i understood the message has to be a status byte (in this case 242 (dez) ) followed by two data bytes to set the song position. i'm able to send the status byte. e.g. i can send start, stop, continue messages which don't need data bytes. thanks a lot. christian. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] -nogui on osx
Hi, I am having some troubles getting -nogui option work on osx. right now there are several problems with that: if I add -nogui to the startup prefs, the icon in the task bar keeps jumping, but pd does not start up. I have to start pd from terminal to get it running. otoh, I would prefer a solution without terminal window. especially since when closing pd the terminal always stays open. any help on that would be welcome! marius. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] using alternative preference files
hi, I am planning to ship a striped down standalone pd versions that will provide a one click option to start a patch+interface. This will allow to run patches like applications without depending on any user preferences. Everything comes out of the box. It turns out that this is much easier on windows than on osx. (sorry, no tests on linux yet). One thing I don't know right now is where I find the settings which plist pd will use. I know that pd vanilla and pd-extended are using different plist files, is that defined in pd.tk? I need to provide a preferences file that has the -nogui option plus a relative path to the patch that should be started... hans, do you have some (online) docs, how the pd.apps are created? I know that the startup process of pd is slightly different than on osx (wish starting pd), I wonder if I have to change the app if I want to run a -nogui version? thanks again for any help. marius. ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] Delete scalars
It's not the list management that's the problem, it's having a way to track down all stale pointers and un-point them. Currently this is managed by maintaining a per-list stub that the pointers all check through. one could have such a stub for every scalar, but this would add a lot of overhead. Alternatively, all gpointers to a given scalar could register themselves somehow, and every time one deleted a scalar one would track down every pointer to it through the registration mechanism. I've been unable to convince myself that the machinery could be kept lightweight and efficient. cheers Miller On Tue, Jul 08, 2008 at 03:04:29AM -0400, Mathieu Bouchard wrote: On Sat, 14 Jun 2008, Miller Puckette wrote: I'm thinking about making a message to pointer that deletes the object after the pointed-to one (thus leaving the pointer itself unchanged) -- the gotch is that it would stalify all other pointers to the list, at least as things are currently implemented.

Re: [PD] using alternative preference files
Try the new app maker on the Mac OS X builds, you'll need a very recent build otherwise it has a bug in it that prevents it from working. It'll automatically create a .app with your name, and include an embedded prefs file. I haven't touched -nogui on Mac OS X in a very long time. I basically only use Debian for running real projects, especially installations. I only use Mac OS X for the mundane day-to-day things like email, calendar, palm pilot syncing, etc. .hc On Jul 10, 2008, at 3:34 PM, marius schebella wrote: hi, I am planning to ship a striped down standalone pd versions that will provide a one click option to start a patch+interface.

Re: [PD] -nogui on osx
Command line options on Mac OS X are problematic since Pd has a strange startup procedure: first, pd.tk starts, which starts pd which then starts the pd.tk pd-gui process, IIRC. .hc On Jul 10, 2008, at 3:19 PM, marius schebella wrote: Hi, I am having some troubles getting -nogui option work on osx. right now there are several problems with that: if I add -nogui to the startup prefs, the icon in the task bar keeps jumping, but pd does not start up.
