[PD] easy effects?

2010-03-16 Thread Josh Lawrence
hi everyone,

I'm back again!  :)

I'm working through the various pd resources and learning how to do
various things and having a lot of fun.  I've built the step sequencer
from the FLOSS manual, and want to apply some effects to the sound
(such as delay, distortion, etc.).  I've found some resources on the
'net on how to build such effects from scratch, but it seems like it
is reinventing the wheel when I have access to so many great effects
on my system already (ladspa, dssi).  I've attempted to use the
plugin~ object, but when I try to right-click on the object to get
help, pd crashes.  are there objects in pd-extended that allow you to
use ladspa or dssi effects?

I'm running linux with the latest pd-extended nightly build.

thanks all!

well, I guess it just doesn't get any easier than that!

thank you hardoff.

I'm also assuming that ladspa is out of the question?

 Maybe try the attached patch and look up the help for the objects in it to

Martin - thank you so much.

I also found this last night:

Which also has a LOT of beginner-level stuff that seems to be right up
my alley.

 Hi Josh,

ha, you caught me!  :)  you're right, I'm trying to skip ahead.  I'm a
very poor student for this reason!

thanks all for the useful replies - pd is a vast (and somewhat

 Hi Josh,

if I can beg the forgiveness of the list and make another post:

I've been reading over the answers presented to me and realize that I
completely failed at asking my question.  let me give it another try,
this time I'll tell you what I want to do in terms that make more
sense to me:

first, I do not want to load samples or sound files of any kind (yet).
 this is where I messed up when I said triggering audio.

let's say I have an osc~ object, and I want to turn it on and off in a
rhythmic fashion, say every quarter note, as if I were playing quarter
notes on my midi keyboard.  what objects/methods do I need to learn
about to do that?  I'm guess I need to look in the control section,
but all of the examples don't actually play anything, they are just
examples.  I really need to see *how* to use them (I have trouble
connecting the dots as it were).

I have many more questions, but I'll stop there and digest whatever comes at me.

thank you again, and sorry for messing up the first time!

[PD] triggering audio

2010-02-16 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hi everyone,

I'm working through the FLOSS manual on pd attempting to learn it.
I've learned how to make a simple synth using osc~ and phasor~
objects, and I trigger them using a slider patched into an mtof
object.  Lots of fun, but the long tone of an oscillator is getting
boring.  I've scanned through other chapters, and I can't seem to find
other ways of triggering audio.

For example, I've been watching this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zKzxqN5mUI

Whoever this is uses a sig~ object going through an expr~, etc.  I
don't understand what he's doing, but it looks cool.  Can someone help
me understand it?  What are some other things I can play with?

Be gentle, I'm new to all of this.  :)

[PD] pd-extended on debian squeeze?

2010-02-12 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hi!

I'm trying to install pd-extended on debian squeeze, but cannot due to
to an unresolved dependency on libmagick++10.  I've done a little
googling, and the solution that I found was to compile everything from
svn, which I'm afraid might be beyond my abilities.  Is that still the
case?  If not, what is the work-around?

Thanks!

Josh

[PD] midi to osc?

2009-07-09 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hi everyone,

I've been considering the idea of playing around with livenoisetools:

http://www.pawfal.org/Software/livenoisetools/

...just for fun.  One of the problems I've come across is how to play
it.  The software is written to receive nothing but osc messages.
For example, the synthesizer, itchy, needs this to play a note (from
the doc):

/play iiii [timeseconds timefrac ID frequency slidefreq volume pan message]
Plays a note at the given time (in ntp format), on the given instrument with
the given parameters. if the time is set to 0,0 it will ignore the time and
play the note asap. The message parameter is interpreted as a char and if set
to a O will cause an accent note to be triggered. this will be replaced by
something more sane soon :) The slidefrequency gives a frequency to start
sliding to (speed is defined by instrument modify commands for voices that
support it).

I'm wondering if it would be possible to use pd as a bridge between my
midi keyboard and this software, i.e. I play a middle C and the
correct messages would be translated to the software.

Is this possible in pd?  (Currently I have access to vanilla...)  If
so, can you point me to which objects I need to be looking for?

If this isn't possible, do you have any suggestions as to a better
method for doing this?

I appreciate the help,

Josh

Hello Derek and IOHannes,

Thank you so much for the advice, I will definitely check all of this out.

b/t/w, is there an IRC room that pd'ers hang out in that is generally
welcome to newbies?

Thanks again!

[PD] netpd

2008-09-12 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hello list,

I just recently discovered netpd, which is frigging AWESOME for those
of us newbies that can't program PD very well just yet.  However, I
have a problem - when I open up _chat.pd, it's looking for people on
my own LAN.  Can I jam with folks across the internet?  Is there a
main server or servers that I can connect to?  And if so, can you
point me to the RTFM on that?

Thanks!

[PD] Linux + pd + jack midi?

2008-07-02 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hello,

There are applications I want to use on Linux that speak only jack
midi and not alsa seq.  Many of the softsynths I like, however, still
use the alsa seq interface.  Is there a way to make pd act as a glue
between these two?  I am not a programmer, and to be honest,
complicated things confuse me.  I really need a simple utility here,
but flexible.

Thanks to all,

[PD] install latest pd-ext

2007-10-21 Thread Josh Lawrence
Hello - newbie lurker here.

I am attempting to install the latest Pd-extended on my debian testing
box, and this is what I get:

pd-extended: Depends: tcl8.4 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: tk8.4 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libflac7 but it is not installable
   Depends: imagemagick
   Depends: libpng3 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libmpeg1 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libmpeg2-4 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libmpeg3-1 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libquicktime0 but it is not installable
   Depends: libdv4 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libimlib2 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libgsl0 but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libmagick++9c2a but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: x-ttcidfont-conf but it is not going to be installed
   Depends: libavifile-0.7c2 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or
specify a solution).

So no problem, I can go through and install these, except I get
tripped right off the bat - there is no libflac7, only 6 and 8.  How
are the debian folks getting past this issue?  The website mentions
automatically getting the right dependancies downloaded, but I do not
know how to do that.

Thank you,

[PD] subtractive synth - minimoog model

2007-05-26 Thread Josh Lawrence
hello all!

I was on this list some time back, but unsubscribed due to lack of
time to learn pd.  the time issue is a little better, so I have
resubscribed in the hopes of learning this app.

here's my question:  I really, really want a minimoog, but can't
afford one.  ;)  I think that building one in pd using ladspa plugins
(much like alsamodularsynth) would be a perfect way to dip my toe in
the shallow end of pd.  however, I can't figure out what to do once I
get pd opened.  I can add [plugin~ name.so], but I really don't know
what else to do.

incidentally, I found a nice minimoog synth on the web, but one thing
that I absolutely cannot stand with that and ams is the lack of
ability to retrigger a held note after another one is played (I think
this has been called the trilogy trill - make sense?).  this is a
must on an analog synth.

can anyone point me to some tutorials or give me some help with this?
