after a few days of waiting (for you) and hard labour (for me), Gem
0.93.1, the 1st bugfix release for the 0.93 series, has been released today.
like always we have fixed numerous bugs and features, and most likely
introduced an equal number of wishlists and showstoppers.
noteable differences since 0.93.0:
functionality bugs:
- [pix_film] no longer crashes when sending an "auto" message to it,
while no film is loaded
- [pix_film]'s "auto" message actually does something
- [pix_frei0r] no longer crashes when dynamically instantiating plugins
documentation:
- [pix_frei0r]/[pix_freeframe] help patches now mention how to
dynamically load a plugin at runtime (or change the plugin)
- [separator] help patch now explains how to only work on special openGL
matrices
binaries are available for w32 (installer & zip), for the brave and
adventurous there is the source code.
binaries for OSX are still not available yet, but we hope to get them
online soonish.

Hello everyone,
the recording of the final improvisation night, 14th August, is already
online on Michael's space -
http://pdcon11.sinespine.org/final-impro-audio/.
I left it untreated, in flac format. The recording is a stereo mix of the
mixer's output. I think whoever played will recognise itself there.
Best regards,
João Pais

Gemnotes 0.1 - a real-time music notation system for Pd-Extended.
Read the blog and get the tarball here:

This is at very much an alpha stage, but it is a working system. Many changes will occur before the next version.
Enjoy,

Tonight the German radio station "Deutschlandfunk" will have a little piece
about the pd~convention in Weimar (in German!).
It's part of the "Musikjournal" that starts at 20:10 German time (CEST i.e.
UTC+2).
Streams are available in various formats, see:

Dear list,
(This is my first post to you, but I have long since been a follower.)
I would like to introduce a new abstraction package called
ElectroAcoustic Tools (EAT).
EAT is a new set of abstractions for composition and diffusion that
are currently under development in Pure Data Extended 0.42.5. EAT is
accessible for preliminary educative use, but it also embraces the
advanced functionality that Pd can provide for digital signal
processing effects and spatialisation.
You can download the package on Source Forge:
https://sourceforge.net/p/eatpuredata/
This is a small first release to test the framework and functionality
and I would be very grateful of any feedback that you feel able to
provide on any aspect of the project.
You can see my presentation on EAT at the Pd Convention in Weimar on 9
August at 1100.
I hope that you find them to be a useful contribution.

Hello everyone,
in the first 2 days of the Pd Convention I will be giving a workshop about
data structures -
http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/PDCON:Workshops/Data_Structures.
My plan is to talk about the theory in the first session, and practical
implementations + patch analysis in the second session. I have already a
group of example patches ligned up, but I wanted to see if anyone has
their own desires.
So, if you are interested in coming to the data structures workshop, and
already have a goal in mind on where/how to use them, you can send me your
requests. If time is available, I might be able to do some work for you,
which you can afterwards develop further.
If you want to send me a patch, try to follow the following steps:
- describe to me what the patch does, possibly leaving some comments
inside near some important parts
- describe what you wish to do
And for everyone else: I would also like to know who will come to my
workshop. In case you have time, just send me a small message privately
with:
- your name
- your interests
- your experience level
Hope to see many of you next week,
João Pais

::::: Xth Sense – biophysical generation and control of music :::::
Hands-on training in augmentation of the body for musical performance.
Creating your own low cost biosensing wearable device for muscle sounds.
See an Xth Sense performance at http://vimeo.com/20889787
Xth Sense: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense/http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/music-for-flesh-ii/
~ What
The workshop offers an hands-on experience and both theoretical and
practical training in gestural control of music and bodily musical
performance, deploying the brand-new biosensing technology Xth Sense.
Developed by the workshop teacher Marco Donnarumma within a research project
at The University of Edinburgh, Xth Sense is a framework for the application
of muscle sounds to the biophysical generation and control of music.
It consists of a low cost, DIY biosensing wearable device and an Open Source
based software for capture, analysis and audio processing of biological
sounds of the body (Pure Data-based).
Muscle sounds are captured in real time and used both as sonic source
material and control values for sound effects, enabling the performer to
control music simply with his body and kinetic energy.
Forget your mice, MIDI controllers, you will not even need to look at your
laptop anymore.
The Xth Sense biosensor was designed to be easily implemented by anyone, no
previous experience in electronics is required.
The applications of the Xth Sense technology are manifold: from complex
gestural control of samples and audio synthesis, through biophysical
generation of music and sounds, to kinetic control of real time digital
processing of traditional musical instruments, and more.
~ How
Firstly, participants will be introduced to the Xth Sense Technology by its
author and led through the assembling of their own biosensing wearable
hardware using the materials provided.
Next, they will become proficient with the Xth Sense software framework: all
the features of the framework will be unleashed through practical exercises.
Theoretical background on the state of art of gestural control of music and
new musical instruments will be developed by means of an audiovisual review
and participatory critical analysis of relevant projects selected by the
instructor.
At the end of the workshop, participants will be free to keep the Xth Sense
biosensors they built and the related software for their own use.
~ Perspective participants
The workshop is open to anyone passionate about sound and music. No previous
experience in electronics or programming is required, however participants
should be familiar with digital music creation. Musical background and
education does not matter as long as you are ready to challenge your usual
perspective on musical performance.
Composers, producers, sound designers, musicians, field recordists are all
welcome to join our team for an innovative and highly creative experience.
Participation is limited to 8 candidates.
~ Requirements and further info
Participants need to provide their own headphones, external soundcards and
laptops with Pd-extended already installed.
Free download is available at
http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/pd-extended
We will work either on Linux or Mac OSX => 10.6 operating systems.
If you don't have access to none of them, please download a live
distribution of Pure:Dyne at:
http://puredyne.org/index.html
Musicians interested in augmenting their favourite musical instrument by
means of body gestures are encouraged to bring their instrument along.
~ Dates
17-18-19-20 August, 11.00-19.00 daily (6 hours sessions + 1 hour break)
nnnnn, Unit 73a, Regent Studios, 8 Andrews Road, London, E2 4QN
