I am here in Madrid working at Conde Duque at the Media Lab Madrid
with Enrique Tomas from this list, and lots of other people. Its an
open workshop, so anyone can come by and check things out, play
around, etc.
Let's make more Pd connections!

I just finished a decently flushed out sketch of an intro tutorial
and I would love some feedback. Give it a shot:

There is still a lot of material to cover, but this covers the
foundations. Plus there should be more exercises.

Read more here: http://lac.zkm.de/2006/
The Programme contains several Pd related talks and concerts. These
are their abstracts so far:
Agostino Di Scipio
Using PD for Live Interactions in Sound. An Exploratory Approach ("Composer's Talk")
This presentation illustrates the principles and motivations behind
the composition of Modes of Interference, a work conceived as an
audio feedback system with trumpet and electronics. It focuses in
particular on the Pd signal-processing patch specifically designed
for that, basically implementing the nonlinear coupling between a
microphone input and two loudspeakers' output. The particular
coupling methods allow for control of feedback between the two ends
of the audio loop.
The Pd patch has two main functionalities. (1) It is designed to
deliberately cause, and dynamically handle, high-gain audio feedback
situations, thus providing useful musical control over the so-called
Larsen effect (that way, a typical problem in live electroacoustics
is turned into an opportunity for musical exploration). (2) It is
also designed to dynamically transform any input sound material by
means of simple methods of granular re-sampling, indirectly
affecting the feedback loop itself. The results widely vary
depending on several acoustical circumstances, and reflecting the
network of mutually dependent variables in the overall audio system
loop. The presentation briefly illustrates how that musical
potential is explored in Modes of Interference.

128 Is Not Enough - Data Structures in Pure Data
A lesser known feature of Miller Puckette's popular audio and media
development framework Pure Data is the possibility to create user
defined graphical data structures. Although the data structures are
included in Pd for several years, only recently a sigificant number
of users discovered and used this feature. This paper will give an
introduction to the possibilities of Pd s data structures for
composers and musicians and present several example applications.
Eric Lyon
A Sample Accurate Triggering System for Pd and Max/MSP
A system of externals for Pd and Max/MSP is described that uses
click triggers for sample-accurate timing. These externals
interoperate and can also be used to control existing Pd and Max/MSP
externals that are not sample-accurate through conversion from
clicks to bangs.

Clothing was among the first cultural and technological achievements of the
human. Since its first intention as a second skin, communication
technologies and smart materials dramatically changed its use.
Clothing itself became an interface to the digital space which surrounds us.
The workshop will show how textiles and technology appear in artistic
practices and will introduce materials and techniques in use and in research.
In the workshop the participants will work and experiment on an expanded
idea of fashion and technology.
Especially participants who already attended the previous workshops will be
able to apply their ideas and skills on the very fabric of society.

The Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics at Stanford
University invites you to participate in the Physical Interaction Design
for Music summer workshop. Suitable for anyone interested in
interactivity, including artists, musicians, engineers and product
designers, this workshop focuses on tools and theory for using physical
interactions with computers in expressive ways, with a focus on sound.
For more information, and to register, go to:
http://ccrma.stanford.edu/workshops/2006/
------------------------------------------------------------------
Physical Interaction Design for Music
June 26 - July 7 (2 weeks, including July 4)
Instructors: Michael Gurevich, Carr Wilkerson
This workshop integrates programming, electronics, interaction design,
audio, and interactive music. Focus will be on hands-on applications
using sensors and microprocessors in conjunction with real-time DSP to
make music. Specific technologies will include C programming for Atmel
AVR microcontrollers, PD and/or Max/MSP for music synthesis, and sensors
including force-sensitive resistors, bend sensors, accelerometers, IR
range finders, etc. Participants will design and build working
prototypes using a kit that can be taken home at the end of the
workshop. Further issues to be explored will include modes and mappings
in computer music, exercises in invention, and applications of sensors
and electronics to real-time music. The course will be augmented by a
survey of existing controllers and pieces of interactive music.
This workshop is intended for:
* Musicians or composers interested in exploring new possibilities
in interactive music in a hands on and technical way;
* Anyone looking to gain valuable skills in basic analog and
digital electronics, with a focus on invention;
* Engineers, computer scientists, or product designers interested
in exploring artistic outlets for their talents an collaborating with
performers and composers.
The workshop will consist of half-day supervised lab sessions, and
half-day lectures, classroom exercises and discussions. Classroom
sessions will feature live demos and/or concerts of interactive music
and instruments. Participants are encouraged (but by no means required)
to bring their own laptop computers with any music software/hardware
they already use.
CCRMA SUMMER WORKSHOPS 2006
Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and
Acoustics offers five intensive programs where top educators and
researchers from the fields of music, engineering, and computer science
will present a detailed study of specialized subjects. The workshops are
one or two week programs located at the Knoll, CCRMA's newly renovated
facilities, on Stanford Campus June 26 - August 25, 2006.
Please direct general questions about the workshops to:

Ok, it works more or less the same on all platforms now. Seems
pretty good, needs some minor tweaks. It just outputs each filename
in a directory as a symbol message.

I got env vars working on Windows, thanks to ExpandEnvironmentStrings
(). I couldn't find an equivalent for GNU libc, Mac OS X, or GNU/
Linux. Anyone know of a function like that?

> Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time, graphical programming
> environment for integrated media processing. It is free software,
> and a closely related cousin to Cycling74's Max/MSP. It runs on Mac
> OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, and even on iPods, PDAs, and as a web-
> browser plug-in. Pd was created by Miller S. Puckette, the creator
> of Max, to explore ideas of how to further refine the Max paradigm.
> It was designed to be as neutral as possible, with few assumptions
> about how things should be done. This makes it an ideal platform
> for integrating audio, video, MIDI, sensors, graphics, robotics,
> interaction, and more.
>
> In this introductory workshop we start with the basics - what is
> Pd, who uses it, how do you program with it, and what is the
> available functionality. Participants will learn about control and
> timing structures, basic GUI building, and OSC communication, and
> also get exposure to basic sampling, filtering, and synthesizing
> sound, as well as basic video manipulation. You can use your own
> laptop, the workshop will be preceded with a short installation
> help session. This course will prepare you for further work in
> audio, video, graphics or electronics.
