[PD] run ruby script from [shell]?
hi i'm trying to execute a ruby script from the shell object by sending it the message ruby /path/to/script.rb arguments but i get nothing. the script works fine from the command line, with the exact same arguments. is there an alternative? i'm on osx, latest stable pd extended thank you ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] under water effect?
i know Andy Farnell's book (http://aspress.co.uk/ds/table_of_contents.php) has some water related examples but has anybody attempted to recreate an underwater effect? surely we all remember screaming our lungs out underwater at the swimming pool as kids and i reckon with some filters you could achieve something remotely close to what we humans hear down there.

Thanks Marco, will give that a try for sure! On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 1:24 PM, Marco Donnarumma de...@thesaddj.com wrote: Hi, you might be interested in C::NTR::L http://cntrl.sourceforge.net. It's a Pd-based application which recognizes pitch out of an electric bass guitar, guitar, or piano (only two octaves) and trigger audiovisual fx (outputting a bang everytime a new note is recognized using a proper threshold system to avoid weird behaviour). You can also set manually the frequencies you want to track. I use it often in my performances. If you need help while using/de-constructing it, just drop me a line, I'll be glad to help you.

Hello, In so far pitch tracking is easy, this should be easy. I threw together this little patch to be used as an abstraction like so: [inrange 36 48] to monitor pitches that are within the range 36 to 48. When the pitch falls within the range, [inrange 36 48] reports 1, as soon as the pitch leaves the range, it reports 0. I may have overlooked the existence of an object that does this, but anyway, maybe it's insightful for you to see a way to do it with basic objects. Instantiate one for each pitch-range you want to monitor. gr, Tim #N canvas 0 22 450 300 10; #X obj -193 123 sel 400; #X obj -242 149 tgl 25 0 empty empty empty 17 7 0 10 -262144 -1 -1 0 1; #X obj -133 122 moses 400; #X floatatom -133 74 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom -133 156 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X floatatom -82 156 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg -193 148 \; fx 1; #X obj -242 124 r fx; #X msg -82 204 \; fx 0; #X obj -82 179 sel 500; #X text -143 29 (analysis); #X connect 0 0 6 0; #X connect 2 0 4 0; #X connect 2 1 5 0; #X connect 3 0 2 0; #X connect 3 0 0 0; #X connect 5 0 9 0; #X connect 7 0 1 0; #X connect 9 0 8 0; ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] pd and multi-core processors
sorry if i missed the announcement, but where can i find this [pd~] object and some documentation? cheers On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 9:36 PM, Tim Blechmann t...@klingt.org wrote: With my patch open i get these values (average): cpu1 60% cpu2 60% cpu3 11% cpu4 2% Then, when I open a pd~ patch: cpu1 80% cpu2 80% cpu3 40% cpu4 3% the average cpu load won't tell you a lot, since the cpu speed is usually not constant, but may be modulated (adding some latency hotspots). in general, i'd recommend to disable frequency scaling, turbo mode (for nehalem cpus) and smt, since it may confuse numbers and can increase the thread wakeup latency significantly, if you want to use a machine for low-latency real-time audio applications. so, still plenty of overhead on the 4th core, but it doesn't seem to be used. from my understanding, you should split your path into 4 pieces of equal load, using 3 pd~ objects, if you want to optimize it for a quad-core cpu. tim -- t...@klingt.org http://tim.klingt.org Question: Then what is the purpose of this experimental music?

[PD] mbox noise
Hello Having trouble with a digidesign mbox soundcard (this one: http://www.smccd.edu/accounts/sanchezs/297-PT/mbox_front.jpg/) which pd recognises and works fine for output, but is useless for input, cause it has a terrible static noise on both inputs. Tried the card with other software like Pro Tools and there's no noise there, so i presume it's not a hardware issue.

[PD] pix_video camera trouble
hi i want to use a usb microscope with GEM. with the macam driver installed, my macbook is able to get video from it on imovie, but i havent succeeded in forcing pix_video to get video from this cam instead of the built in isight. i have tried [dialog( but it only lets me select isight (and both DV Video and IIDC FireWire Video are grayed out). what other things should i try to make this work? thanks! ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
