Re: [PD] www.pd-tutorial.com
I must say this is a nice text. However, I was hoping to see more in the department of sequencing/composition. This has great sound design elements, but I am looking for better ways to compose with Pd. Frank, I'm curious about how you use list objects in composition. I'd love to see a little etude from you about that whenever you find the time. You always make such clear, concise, and fun instructional patches. ~Kyle On Tue, Mar 17, 2009 at 1:42 AM, Frank Barknecht wrote: > Hallo, > Andy Farnell hat gesagt: // Andy Farnell wrote: > > > Congrats on finishing it Johannes. > > This looks very nice.

Hi list, I need a little help. I'm using an up-down counter. It has a min and a max limit: 0 and 100 (for say something).

Re: [PD] Pd book sprint in NYC/Berlin
i should probably avoid writing emails before bed, and my negative bias towards video-conferencing comes from a number of bad experiences and unproductive meetings. anyhow you are quite right to push this one, to converse without latency can be very productive (but equally unproductive too) - a good meeting requires a fair bit more preparation and planning than just the medium, regardless of mcluhans philosophy. incidentally i have enjoyed his musings in the past but i already find his arguments ambiguous enough with regard to psychology and technology, to retrofit his ideologies to todays baffling techno-communcications wasteland is a bit of a stretch ;) ciao, dmotd On Tuesday 17 March 2009 21:41:46 Hans-Christoph Steiner wrote: > Yeah, in case I came across too strong, I think that IRC is very > useful, and voice chat is too.

Re: [PD] (yet another) www.pd-tutorial.com
Congratulations! It is certainly something we need. In Fact, I am doing a book myself :) and I am about to share it. I got it in Portuguese for now. Who wants to take a peak? :) I present topics such as: *Wavetable Synthesis - DC Offset – Modulation (Amplitude, Ring, Frequency, Pulse Width) – Additive/Subtractive Synthesis - Filters – WaveShaping - Spectral Analisys (FFT/Resynthesis) - Convolution & Convolution Reverb - Vocoder, Cross Synthesis - Phase Vocoder*. Gladly, it is a different proposal, so johannes book, as well as Miller's and Floss Manuals all are complementary publications. Talking about Phase Vocoder is an attempt to make it more accessible than in Miller's book, in a sense that I wish to reach people with no Background in Computer Science. I dont emphasize much on programing and implementing things in Puredata, so books like johanes' are definately handy... I like the part on Convolution, as it is not covered in other pd books I guess. Actually, I would really like to discuss this with you people. I must say we need to improve Pdpedia and commit to this project as a comunity. I can handle the Portuguese and English part. Lets better promote Pd by publishing about it! :) Cheers ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Okay :( it was a nice dream though.

Re: [PD] Writing you own externals in PD How to?
Thanks for the reply This is interesting, but I am not sure if I understand you correctly. A nice example of this would be building filters like biquad starting with just [+~], [*~] and [z~]. Then in the second round using them to make a synthesiser. Then in the third round using those to make a stand alone musical application ... all in a days development! So I can actually build filters from smaller building blocks in PD, So things like a Delay line to simulate a string is possible where by I can actually change the filtering in the feedback and feedforward paths to simulate different conditions? I.e. using [Z~] [*] I can create things like a comb filter but then have the freedom to put other sorts of filtering in it to make it more complex i.e. simulate the end effects of strings etc. all inside a single object. I thought that this can be done in PD as a test exercise but not if I want to create something that will actually work fast enough to be usable as a synthesizer. I'm glad to have been wrong! Develop in Pd. For a vast majority of DSP development Pd with variable blocksize is a perfect tool if you could only work in dataflow THEN: hit "compile" Are there any tutorials on this any where? ** Pd should be able to compile its own externals *** then you'd get an external built from a properly componentised pdlib Where can I find further information about this? that you can immediately include into the running patch (no having to exit Pd to flush cached classes), just continue building abstraction upon abstraction (as compiled code) this way.

Hi This is quite along post but I thought the background was needed for it to make sense. Background I have previous programming experience however I have been using Pure Data for several months now and am enjoying learning it. I am trying to learn DSP for myself purely out of personal interest for the subject. I bought a book on DSP and became hooked after reading it. :) From that point I have relearnt all the A-level maths I studied over 10 years ago and a few bits of physics, I have gone the the whole of Millers book on Pure Data and whilst I would be lying if I said the whole thing made sense I can certainly understand and implement alot of it. I then moved on to Julius Smiths books on digital filters and physical modelling which is where I am at the moment. And I am making slow progress there as there is alot to assimilate in that I need to not only be able to understand the topic related to Physics, Maths etc. but then know how to use Matlab and C++ and Faust which is all quite a mountain. Long Term Aim What I want to do eventually when things make more sense is to work with creating my own physical models which if I am to do it in pure data would surely need me to create externals to run the filtering all inside one object. System Mac OS 10.4.11 Macbook, Pure Data, Octave, Max/Msp, Xcode, Downloaded and installed Faust but not sure how to invoke it :( Mission What I would like to be able to do is to take the examples I am reading about in Julius Smiths books and create them as externals within Pure Data so I can use them, Play with them :) I.e. the book that I am working through 'Introduction to digital filters' contains lots of example Matlab and C code for different filters and also mentions Faust, then there is also flext to consider. http://puredata.info/Members/thomas/flext-intro.pdf Q) I want to create my own Pure data objects specifically filters starting with the examples in Julius Smiths book.

Re: [PD] Pd book sprint in NYC/Berlin
Yeah, in case I came across too strong, I think that IRC is very useful, and voice chat is too. We can have both running for this meeting, and people can choose where they participate. IRC is great for async communications, like asking specific questions. But I find it takes 10-20x longer to work through difficult issues thru text-only media like IRC, IM, email, etc. as compared to a voice conversation. .hc On Mar 16, 2009, at 7:32 PM, João Pais wrote: Is this a one time thing, or might happen more times?

With xlets, there still is the undecided question if the first argument should serve a different purpose than tooltips. It could be used to specify the order explicitly or to do reblocking etc. So even the use of inlet arguments to specify tooltips is unofficial. It's probably to late already, but grabbing more arguments is a bit dangerous IMO (I don't even use the first arg so far, but I'm always a bit extracautious).

No, I'm fine with that - actually it's encouraged. sssad.pd is just a single file. But people should keep theire copy up to date. ;) What I don't like is if people use [sssad/sssad] and expect it to work on everyone's system automatically. > same with the new-fast list-drip in u_listdrip.. is it just for > naming-convention that you renamed the abstraction? Yes, it's just for the naming convention we use. While I don't want to duplicate other libraries, I also wanted to include a minimal set of useful list-handling-objects. IMO list-drip, list-map/reduce/filter, a list serializer and an index lookup are the core objects for list-operations in addition to the builtins. > the whole e_ and s_ part is fantastic there are some really powerful > effects and filters in there. i looked more carefully and the only phone > related one is m_touch2grid which could be useful without a phone too. > > is this the correct url? > http://svn.rjdj.me/scenes/trunk/rjlib/rj > > hm... now i've seen > http://svn.rjdj.me/scenes/trunk/rjlib/ > > this is ofcorse phone specific and what confuses me now is that there is > a copy of sssad.pd We include sssad as u_sssad because it's central to the saving system (as are the u_loader and u_dispatch objects) so including it lets people use it without having to fetch it from somewhere else first.

Ah, tagging all objects with licenses - that's something on my big TODO list. :( rjlib is planned to be GPL v3 with some patches, like those that have been taken from the docs, under BSD. sssad or the list-stuff for example is still BSD.

Re: [PD] Unified Library was Re: Call for GSoC mentors! March 9th deadline!
Yo! Sorry I have been absent, I've been at SXSW : ). You asked about the style guide in the other thread: Amusingly I ground to a halt on it when I tried to figure out the different word-separators for hierarchies, spaces and OSC addresses : ). But! I've finally somehow spontaneously decided the most "Pd-like" specification is: "-" for hierarchies, as Miller and Frank and many others seem to do (e.g. $0-foobar-baz, and as part of pd itself: [s pd-mysubpatch]) "_" as "space", e.g. [receive a_certain_frob] AFAICT this is pretty much what rjlib has settled on as well? (perhaps less deliberately) SO! If you love consistency and interoperability, please now begin using this : ). (I myself am now condemned to obsessively change hundreds of my patches, since I had personally settled on an inconsistent mess of "." and "/" for hierarchies and "-" for space :&.) And, if anyone else cared about programmatically reconciling such names with OSC addresses, it's easy enough to just dynamically replace "-" with "/" where appropriate (using zexy or any2string or whatever). I've resurrected the Style Guide here with this mandate ;) and will continue folding things into it from the previous discussions as well as those about to occur... http://puredata.info/docs/style-guide/StyleGuideDraft2 I'm very much in agreement with everything else being said about separation of gui and logic...

Re: [PD] www.pd-tutorial.com
Congratulations Johannes, This book will definitely be a bonus teaching material together with Miller's book for the computer generated music course that I am planning to teach next autumn. I had already involved Andy's book for the Sound design ( + a bit physics of sound ) course. Now lets hope that they will add these courses in the next curriculum :) and I guess there is one book we are still seeking at the moment that focuses Physical Interaction Design, the same way as Johannes' book. Earlier together with Hans we developed PID course materials, and his latest work embedding firmata in arduino library hopefully will bring up more Pd examples, and maybe later we will have another book.
