Re: [PD] OSC server to many clients

Re: [PD] Simple Kalman filter
Well, understanding the math of a Kalman filter was way beyond my pay grade, but based on the description in http://bilgin.esme.org/BitsBytes/KalmanFilterforDummies.aspx, a 1d implementation reduces the complexity considerably. According to this guide, we can assume simple float values for most of the coefficients for most purposes. Based on your suggestion, I think I will incorporate an analyze mode into the external itself to calculate the noise parameters and set them automatically. I'll let you know when that's in git.

Re: [PD] Pd download page
Yes, I totally understand the political argument for placing src first. I guess the debate comes down to how far we want to go to make things easier for new users. To me, this seems like a move that may help avoid confusion and frustration among new users, a very important demographic for the future of the project, and it doesn't seem like it would be a violation of our FOSS philosophy. On the other hand, I *don't* support the idea of putting all of the major platforms at the top. Start with BSD, by all means.

[PD] rtcmix~ for Pd
Hello all. I'd like to announce the release of [rtcmix~], a complete encapsulation of Columbia's RTcmix music programming language in Pd. RTcmix was created by Brad Garton and Dave Topper as a real-time version of Paul Lansky's CMIX. RTcmix features a simplified C-style syntax and includes the complete STK as well as many custom instruments written by Brad Garton, John Gibson, Dave Topper, Mara Helmuth and many others. This version is based on Brad Garton's rtcmix~ for Max/MSP, and features: - a custom popup script editor - multichannel audio in/out - 20 internally stored scripts - $ variables set at runtime - PField control via inlet (eg control a running instrument's frequency with a slider) Binaries for linux, windows, OSX, and Raspberry Pi (yes!) are here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rtcmix-pd/ The project is released under the LGPL and the source can be found here: https://github.com/jwmatthys/rtcmix-in-pd -Joel ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Pd download page
I have a question about the download page at puredata.info. Is there a special reason that the source tarball is listed first in the file list? Would it offend our FOSS sensibilities to move the source package to the bottom of the download list? It seems unusual to me to see the source listed first. I use Pd with my students, many of them undergraduates with no understanding of the difference between source and binary. When I assign students to download and install the Pd binary, despite my explicit warnings, invariably a few of them will grab the source, since it's at the top of the page and says all platforms. (In the most recent incident, a student downloaded the source, and, unsure how to proceed, asked the university IT department, who told him just to open it in Adobe.) :-) Joel ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] external returning its own path
Hi all. I'm working on a Pd external which encapsulates the audio language RTcmix, based on Brad Garton's [rtcmix~] Max object. The language and its audio functions are in a dylib in the external's directory. My problem is that the external needs to know its own path in order to correctly find and reference the dylib. Max has nameinpath() and path_topathname() which help with this. Pd's open_via_path() won't work here because the path is the unknown. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to access the external's path dynamically? Thanks!
