Hi all, I have PMPD working in Pd Extended 0.39.3. However, when I upgrade to 
the latest Pd Ext - the [pmpd] object refuses  to load? I'm on OS X 10.6.8 
though I've noticed the sae issue on Linux

Very good idea, thanks Roman!
Some difficulties I'm having:
- I don't know how to set the label of [cnv]... is it possible at all?
- (ATTN: Ivica) [hsl] seems to have the bounding box (?) miscalculated in
l2ork so it doesn't GOP when it's less than 2-3px from the border of the
parent canvas. Checked in Vanilla, it works as expected ([hsl] can be
placed to the very border and it will GOP).



  - is Graph-on-Parent,

 applies to all above solutions.

  - can be resized (like Number2)? (or small enough by default?)

 see above.

 To make something send a bang, you could put some [bng] objects behind
 your whatever text displaying objects. Interestingly, hidden GUI objects
 have priority over visible objects when clicked. Another way is to use a
 construct like the following to make a slider send bangs only when
 clicked, but not when dragged:

 [hsl]
 |
 [t a a]
   \/
   /\
 [sel 0]


Interesting indeed.
Actually, I don't need the label to send a bang any more, because [pmenu]
won't pop up when the click happens inside a subpatch, so I need to put the
triggering object in the toplevel. (I might still hide it under the GOP
abstraction...)
BTW, is it theoretically possible for a GOP object to display a menu on the
toplevel (stretching over the GOP area of the subpatch where it is)? If
yes, I'd eventually try to hack the pmenu code.

hi again,

just saw this thread right after posting mine :
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2013-07/103236.html

sorry for bothering

here is attached three small patches that make PD crash
raw_client and raw_server work well together
but when I try to connect more client (eg. 10 with 10_raw_client)
crash happens...

I realize that with iemnet's version of tcpclient/tcpserver,
if two client connect at the same time to server, only on receive data not
the other,
so I put a timeout to disconnect the client if no answer was received in a
certain time and then reconnect

i first make this with iemnet's tcpserver
and I got a SIGPIPE on the server side (see my previous post)
while I got SIGSEGV on the client side, here is the gdb backtrace :

Re: [PD] wireless audio from Pd to PA system (katja) (Antoine Villeret)

The Sony's 10 Hz to 22 kHz - looks like acceptable bandwidth for everyday live 
stage stuff. Unless you're expecting analogue pro-audio 40kHz  above (most 
pro-audio) or analogue 80kHz - 120 kHz  (nice pro-audio Neve etc.)  


There's SM Pro's 'TRANz' wireless DI box too - in living stereo no less: 

http://www.smproaudio.com/index.php/en/products/di-boxes/tranz

I think contemporary wireless systems are expected to perform to more 
high-fidelity

specs than their bandwidth-challenged cousins of yore (Nady et al). The forums 
GearSlutz or TapeOp might turn up some answers too as the users are very 
knowledgable and come from many different pro audio backgrounds. My mate worked 
on The Wall and he showed me the wireless systems that they were using and 
introduced me to the 'wireless manager'. These systems were not 'reduced 
bandwith' - unless you're talking about transmitting HD about the place, and 
I've no idea how you would do that - i'm sure there's some gruesomely expensive 
system that would do it :)

 Hi Katja
 one of these would do it - check with Thomann tech support for gain issues
 (these are Instrument Level input) They should be fine however as active
 guitar pickups (like heavy style EMG pickups) output quite high levels.
 These type of wireless systems tend to be very rugged, have excellent sound
 quality and long battery life - and you'll want these things.

 For a wearable live performance computer, I am looking into the
 options of sending wireless audio from Pd to a PA sound system and
 other listeners.

 In a first experiment I've tried a Linex FM transmitter. Audio quality
 is good enough, and FM transmitters do not introduce latency. This
 option is cheap and flexible, as the signal can be received by simple
 radio's, which are even built into cell phones and media players. I
 would need to boost the transmission a bit to make it more reliable.
 This will of course make the equipment illegal. Even then, the risk
 that someone else is transmitting a stronger signal on the channel can
 not be excluded.

 Another option could be to send audio over Wifi. This would require
 WLAN to be available, and one extra computer (with audio interface) as
 a receiver. To avoid extra latency the audio should be sent
 uncompressed, like [udpsend~] / [udpreceive~] can do it. This has the
 risk of packet loss and serious dropouts.

 I've been searching for 2.4 GHz wireless music receivers and found
 things like this:

Found more info about TI's PurePath wireless. Latency of wireless transmission 
is 768 samples minimum. Added to this must be the latencies of ad/da 
conversion.

Forget about it, this concept is only useful for home entertainment.

Thanks everyone for your answers. 

The case is unconventional because a stereo line signal must be sent from the 
computer. Professional wireless systems assume mic or instrument. Consumer 
systems do transmit stereo signal, but without bothering too much about 
latency.

Frankly, I did not expect the difficulty to find a good solution. Initially I 
wanted the wearable computer for a music video which is to be recorded live 
with sounds from natural objects. I bought the FM transmitter so my cameraman 
will be able to hear the music while he's filming. For this purpose it is 
ideal. Then I thought it would be good to use the computer in it's wearable 
mode for public performance. I figured that one of the many wireless solutions 
would suit the purpose, but didn't reckon with the unusual requirements.

Further searching brought me to a new technology 'PurePath' from Texas 
Instruments. It has a range comparable with WiFi (30m), while it seems to work 
with paired devices as in Bluetooth. I haven't seen consumer products with 
this technology, but development kits are available. A rather convincing demo 
is here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YsnZQUfVGs

If this system can work with low latency it could be perfect for wireless Pd.

Does anyone use a satisfactory method in practice, to send audio from

[PD] variable send

2012-07-27 Thread richard duckworth
Hi all, 
thanks for your recent help with [list-abs] - got it working in the end albeit 
in a roundabout way. 
Now I'm trying to process a list of partials and send the values off to an 
additive synth, if I could create a variable wireless send it would simplify 
matters greatly - is this possible? For example, [send FRQ$1] with $1 
substituted for a different value each time? 

I'm sure the FCC wouldn't like it - but can Pd do it?

Thank you very much, that was illuminating.

However for now I'm was looking for a simplistic solution without the 
slightest care for sound quality, as I'm just using the signal to take 
its envelope in order to detect knocks and the like.

But now I know why it sounds the way it sounds and that with an

I'll need it :D

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I have with these two solutions 
is that they only work when the double triggers are in sequence. 
Sometime they arrive like this:

mailto:h...@eds.org

print: key key_j 1
print: key key_l 1
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_j 0
print: key key_l 0
print: key key_l 0

So I would need to store the value of each key individually and check 
each one with [change].
Instead of this long-winded method, I've downloaded [linuxevent] which 
is working nicely so I think I'll stick with this even though it may be 
deprecated?

Surely this is a bug with [hid] though?

 GND--+--+-

 Hi,

 Thanks for the suggestion. If I understand correctly, here the
 non-ideality of the diodes is what does the trick, and this would limit
 the voltage to below the diode's drop, right? which is about 1V or so...

 Now, thinking about it, wouldn't the following be even better? (this
 hadn't come to my mind before)

 IN---+--+-OUT
 |
 v
 |
 |
 ^
 |

 GND--+--+-

 with two ZENER diodes of appropriate reverse voltage? Facing each other?

 So within the allowed voltage range there would be no (or much less)
 distortion?

 Maybe I'm being too naive here?


Yes that's the next step, if you want a larger voltage range. Or use 
strings of ordinary diodes to add about .6V per diode. I think if you 
only want to detect hits it doesn't matter too much. Ideally, you would 
know the voltage range of your audio input and set the levels to fit that.

Re: [PD] (OT) safely connect piezo transducer to soundcard as microphone

2012-04-20 Thread richard duckworth
Piezo mics should go through a very high impedance buffer stage. When I say 
high impedance, I'm talking 10 megohms minimum. 1 Meg is too low, it basically 
will act as a high pass filter and your piezo will sound tinny. This page 
explains all and has a cute 1 stage FET buffer. I have built about 10 of these 
buffers and they work perfectly, sound great and do not clip: 

http://www.muzique.com/news/piezo-pickups/

I bought generic 1 stage buffer PCBs from MusikDing and they keep the buffer 
circuitry tidy. The circuits, batteries and connectors were housed in guitar 
pedal/DI style boxes


If you want to tame piezo transients, you can use a small coil. This is what 
Roland do in those drums pads units - they stick a coil in series with the 
piezo to smooth out the peaks (a bit like a tiny compressor... ish) 

For high-quality sound, don't use piezo - MEAS film contact mics are better.  
They are more expensive, but some outfit in Canada sent me a bunch for not much 
money so not too bad. They are finicky to solder - we're talkin' low wattage 
irons, lead solder (sorry ROHS) and heatsink clips.  

You can also use an active DI box to interface your piezos - one that has a 
high impedence input. Normal Line level inputs are not high enough impedance 
for piezos, by the way. I've used BSS DI's on piezos and they sound great. I've 
also experimented with those cheapo Behringer active DIs - and they sound very 
good on piezos too. They come in a phantom/battery-powered stereo DI version 
for about 20 euro - 2 piezos to 2 channels on your desk per DI.

[PD] [PD-announce] 2nd Pd mini-Con Dublin, Ireland - call for works

2012-02-28 Thread richard duckworth
Hi all, 
it gives me great pleasure to announce that the 2nd Pd mini-Con has been given 
the green light: it will take place in the Dept. of Music, Trinity College 
Dublin, Ireland on the 11th and 12th of May, 2012. 
There is wriggle room to spill over to the 10th and/or 13th if needs be. This 
years 'Con promises to be bigger and better since we have forged mutual 
alliances with other Irish-based Pd-er camps  circuit-bender groups. There 
will be a performance night as well in the Music Dept. recital room and 
break-out room(s) as necessary for workshops etc.    
This call is for papers, demonstrations, performances, workshops, and /or any 
Pd-related endeavour. 
Simply contact me (off-list) with submissions (include your tech spec), or if 
you have any questions. There is no deadline per se, but if you submit very 
late, the availability of space/resources etc. might become scarce. Tech specs. 
etc available on request.    
All the best, Rich

 If the amp numbers coming out of vbap are correct, then I think the

Hi All,
The first meeting of the Dublin Pd Patching Circle is taking place on October 
the 15th at 1pm at Moxie studios just off Baggot St. 
For Directions see 
below:http://maps.google.com/maps?client=safarirls=enoe=UTF-8q=google+maps+pembroke+rowum=1ie=UTF-8hq=hnear=0x48670ebd847b5463:0x1b758c6b27379568,Pembroke+Row,+Dublin,+Co.+Dublin+City,+Irelandei=OUqETsyeB6i-0QWUrYzoDwsa=Xoi=geocode_resultct=titleresnum=1ved=0CB8Q8gEwAA

You can sign up for this free event by contacting Andy at 
mcgover...@hotmail.com or by following this thread:
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=74617895
Just some information about the format for the first meeting. We are hoping 
that people attending will show what work they are currently doing in Pd and 
everyone can chip in with ideas of how to develop a patch or area of work. Then 
at the end of the session we can have a short brainstorming session looking for 
ideas that the Pd Dublin Patching Circle can work on as a team. For example I 
know other Patching Circles have worked together on developing Patches for the 
MS Kinect! This would be great if we could work together on developing Pd for 
the community on a whole.

Re: [PD] Piezo, trigger, Arduino

2011-06-25 Thread richard duckworth
Hi Andy, sorry for the late reply. Just reading your book - totally cool! No 
I've never tried that type of piezo, sounds intriguing. I'll give it a go next 
time I'm 'piezo mode'. I use the cheapo bellbuzzer types for non-critical apps 
and the MEAS film when I want an audiophile sound. As far as the FET buffers 
go, I bought a load of generic 1 transistor PCB boards and use those to 
fabricate unity gain buffers with 10 Mega-ohm IP impedance as the need arises. 
It must be said that the few BSS AR 116 DI boxes that we have make fabulous 
piezo IP's too, due to the hi impedance in and the wide bandwidth. The MEAS 
make fabulous contact mics for gongs, cymbals and, my favorite, sawmill blades.

The fact that he created it on a sequencer in 97 and not on a drumkit in
1963 doesn't make any difference to me.

Ok, but could beatjazz be played in an other way than Onyx did ?
If beatjazz can't be triggered pre-record patterns, it's pity (for me)
that the audience think it is...

By the way, if Flim had been created in 63 it would make a big difference
for me...
The context of a creation matters, don't you think ?

Cheers...

Hi guys

I was researching about arduino mega and pd firmata and i found a post where
they say that its not posible to use all digital output and analog inputs of
arduino mega. http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php?topic=62256.0

I gona buy arduino mega this week, but i need all inputs-output working for
my proyect. Do you know something about this incompatibility??

 I think people have done some shift register+firmata things, but nothing
 got integrated into StandardFirmata/  Here's an example:

 use puredata to control audio playbacks, thats means that i need to
 control shift registers with pd? because the arduino will be flashed
 with pd firmdata and will be imposible to upload code to control shift

Hi all, 
does anyone know who authored this patch
'dissonance_curves_mod.pd' ?

It's a dissonance curve calculator

Thanks, Rich

[PD] pd conferences

2010-11-23 Thread richard duckworth
Hi all, are there any pd conferences or mini-conferences planned for
next year? I'm asking because we are thinking of organising a
mini-conference involving pd in Dublin with a tentative date somewhere
in the first week of April?

All the best, Rich

Re: [PD] Spectral Shifting

2010-04-03 Thread richard duckworth
Hi Alex, 
been using additive synthesis implemented in pd to create bespoke timbres to 
fit xenharmonic scales. It has taken a while and is not finished yet as I've 
had problems with creating polyphonic ad syn instruments though I'm on the 
right track. I constructed a proof-of-concept model in Csound a few years back, 
but wanted a system more suited to live performance and on-the-fly tweaking, 
hence the pd implementation. 
 What I've got so far is a monophonic ad syn instrument w/ control over the 
pitch and amplitude  of each partial. An extra feature is a separate envelope 
for each partial to avoid tedium. Ultimately, there will be active, changing 
control over all of the partials, and a polyphonic version. 
Part of the machine is a scale generating interface triggered by input events 
such as MIDI. I don't use conversions from MIDI as some do, the pitches are 
derived from an expression block - it calculates the correct scale steps for 
the xenharmonic scale. Right now, there are only ET scales in there - if the 
user wants a 7-tet scale she/he simply places 7 in a number box and the machine 
does the rest. The timbre for the scale is then derived in the Setharian way - 
decide which scale steps should be consonant and manipulate the partials to 
suit your system. By doing the sums, the partial frequencies are arrived at, 
plugged into the adsyn partial arguments with a massive message box, and a 
timbre suited to a non-12 tet is the result. It's hit-or-miss, and I've not 
been able to fully assess the new scale-timbre pairs due to a lack of 
polyphony. It's coming along though...

frequency shifting and then pitch shifting by the same amount in hertz will
compress or expand a spectrum around a particular frequency (which could or
could not be the fundamental...)

 There's a method of tuning partials that William Sethares uses in his
 compositionss and he talks about it in his book Tuning Timbre Spectrum
 Scale.

 Specifically, he was also using inharmonic instruments which would be
 arranged into consonant scales, and the similar problem of using
 arbitrary scales with inharmonic spectra to fit with least dissonance.
  I know I read the spectral mapping technique he uses, but I didn't
 really understand how it works.

  Hi folks,
  I'd lke to distort a sound spectrum by transposing partials the way I
 want.
  Like making the spectrum more inharmonic or harmonic.
  Anyone done something similar?
  What kind of processing should I use?
  I was thinking that maybe a Phase Vocoder, where you could control the
  frequency separately, huh!?!? Anyone did this by the way?
  thanks a lot
  Alex

 Hi,
 
 
 Finding out that many online stores sell colored cellophane
 glasses at a
 low price, I was thinking of some projects using Gem's
 stereoscopic modes.
 
 But, whoa.. they all come in blue and red whereas Gem works
 in red/green.
 
 Are these colors chosen as they are offered by one of the
 common OpenGL
 libraries?
 If so, the following may be off topic on the Pd list but..
 are the
 conventional color schemes of classic 3D glasses avoided
 for some
 practical reason?
