Paradiddle 0.1: a Cocoa interface for Pd
by Adam Lindsay 09 Dec '02

09 Dec '02

Hello, all. I'd like to announce the first version of Paradiddle, a Mac OS X Cocoa GUI interface for Pd patches. Paradiddle is a framework, packaged as a Project Builder template, where you simply visually edit a GUI using Apple's excellent Interface Builder, draw a few connections, compile, and run a full-fledged, self-contained, MacOSX-native application. A single-click installer, a step-by-step tutorial, and example patches are included. <http://homepage.mac.com/atl/.cv/atl/Public/Paradiddle-0-1.dmg-link.dmg> (167 KB) Pd 0.35+ and Mac OS X 10.2 Developer Tools required. No coding necessary. Let me know if it works for you... adam PS. In case any of you are wondering "where's the source?"-- it will be released once the project stabilizes a little more. I'm mostly withholding source to help make the point that you don't have to even *look* at code to do something interesting on Mac OS X. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

cvs contribution
by Thomas Grill 08 Dec '02

08 Dec '02

Hi all, I'd just like to announce that i consider my cvs contributions (cvs.pure-data.souceforge.net:/cvsroot/pure-data/externals/grill) not to be beta any more. The sf.net-cvs is syncd with my local cvs every morning at 5:30 CET. Please note that changes solely made in the sf.net-cvs will simply be overwritten as i only synchronize in one direction. If you want to contribute to my externals (which i want to encourage) please drop me a line (and/or patch)! Whenever i release packages i'll tag the respective project with a version tag in the form version_0_1_2 (corresponding to 0.1.2), so you can easily retrieve so-called "stable" versions. Apart from that all sources in the cvs are bleeding-edge experimental versions. I regularly use them for my own patches though. have fun, Thomas

Hi all, I fixed two small problems and put out the "release", pd 0.36, for all platforms except IRIX (which I can't compile for.) If some IRIX user is compiling Pd for IRIX, write me and I'll stick in a link to your compilation. cheers Miller

IMPORTANT
by Dr. Bill Akulunon 06 Dec '02

06 Dec '02

>From the Desktop of: Dr. Bill Akulunon Reply To : fmysc_fmysc(a)indiatimes.com Dear Sir, Confidential Business Proposal I am Dr Bill Akulunon, the Accountant of the Federal Ministry of Youths,Sports,and culture - Parent body of the LocalOrganizing Committee of the 8th All African game tagged "COJA 2003" holding in my country next year .In the course of our preparation to host the 8th All African games, a huge sum of money running into millions of United States Dollars was budgeted by the present civilian administration of our president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo for the successful prosecution of this competition. In the same vein, the supreme council for sport in Africa also made millions of dollars available for the same competition. However, in my capacity as the Chief Accountant, of both local organizing committee (LOC), and the Federal Ministry of Youths,Sports and culture , my colleagues and I in sensitive positions were able to influence the award of the contract, for the supply and installation of some of the equipment that will be used for the competition. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to give us 10% of the total contract sum, if we were able to influence the award of the contract in their favour. Other foreign firms bided for this same contract, but we were able to influence the board to award the contract to the firm we had this agreement with. This contract has been successfully executed and they have been paid 90% of their total contract sum, remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not fulfil their promise. It is pertinent to note that, the remaining balance of seven million, united states dollars (US$7,000,000.00) is lying in the suspense account of the First Chartered Bank Lagos, ready for transfer into an oversea account. I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the successful transfer of the above sum of money into his Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of Conduct Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public servants. On the successful remittance of the fund (US $7,000,000.00) into your nominated account, for your kind assistance you will be adequately compensated. Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the successful transfer of this fund have been worked out. All we require from you is your cooperation. This transaction is 100% risk free. We kindly request that you accord it the highest level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly appreciated and kindly provide your phone and fax number for further information. Upon your acknowledgement of this proposal, I will forward to you the detailed procedure for this transaction. Note that, this transaction is legal and free from all sorts of risk and trouble. It does not contravene the laws of my country nor any International laws; hence the whole approval for the transfer will be official and legally processed. This transaction will be concluded within five (5) working days if we follow it up and give the serious attention it deserves. Awaiting your prompt response.

Hello, the results of my artist in residency in Sheffield are now online: http://access.lowtech.org/e-gehirn/pd.html The most interesting thing is the workshop containing 7 different synthesizer patches, synced over tcp/ip network and conducted by a mistressclock. This practical part of the workshop was big fun, jamming with the people over 8 computers, big noise. These patches are intendend to educate basic synthesis types, what do you think about? With friendly greetings, Malte -- Malte Steiner -www.block4.com- next events: 14. december Elektronengehirn live @ Künstlerhaus Sootbörn, Hamburg, Germany 28. december Elektronengehirn live @ Hoerbar, Hamburg, Germany current release: Elektronengehirn: contribution for THE DOOR CD Sampler new on block4: Xyramat 'Electronically'

Vstserver v0.2.0
by Kjetil S. Matheussen 04 Dec '02

04 Dec '02

http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/ VSTServer V0.2.0. ----------------- GRM tools 1 runs with the 25.11.2002 release of wine. ABOUT Vstserver is a program that must be running when using programs using vstlib. Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows vst audio plugins under linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc. RUNNING First you should set the "VST_PATH" environment variable pointing to the directory where your VST dll files are placed. Then to run the vstserver program, you have to cd into the directory where the "vstservant.so" file is placed (and thats most probably the directory where this README file is placed), and then run the "vstserver" program. DEVELOPMENT Vstserver is released under the GPL, and vstlib under LGPL. If there comes many source-contributions, I will probably make it a sourceforge project. To use vstlib in a program, look at the tests/exampleclient program, and various vst plug-in documentation. The interface to the vstlib consists only of two functions (new/delete), the rest is like you would do when programming for windows, macos(X), beos, irix, etc. You do currently not have access to the audioMaster callback function from a client. If you need access to it, please contact me, and I'll extend the library and the vstservant program. CURRENT STATUS Vstserver seems to be very stable. Very few vst plug-ins and instruments wont run, and I am not able to hear any latency. And plug-ins does not seem to cause more cpu-power than under windows. BUGS 1. When loading a lot of plugins simultaniously, the X server crashes (!). I manage to do that when running the ladspa "listplugins" program _many_ times in a row like this: "listplugins &". I dont know the cause of it. (running redhat 7.2, with latest XFree rpm updates installed) 2. Shared memory handlig might be faulty. I suspect that it doesnt free resources because clients sometime complains about not getting shared memory. (see server/shmhandler.c) 3. The graphics code to support gui is just hacked together by looking at the winemine source-code included with the wine distribution. I have no windows programming experience or documentation about the windows API, so if someone that have windows programming experience would have a look at the code and check that its fine/not fine, that would be, eh, fine. (The code I'm unsure about is server/win/winwin.c and server/win/main.c, about 200 lines of code.) NOT WORKING DLLS - "SimSynth VSTi demo.dll" - The standalone version wont even run under wine, so theres currently not much hope for this one. Please send me dlls that wont work. FUTURE -Make a DX-plugin server. (would be fun running pi-warp under linux). -Add gui to the plugins not providing gui themselves. (help wanted, windows programming) HISTORY 0.1.1 -> 0.2.0: -When upgrading my wine installation from the 31.10.2002 version to the 25.11.2002 version, the "err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes" problem got much worse. So I changed the vstserver program to be a normal unix program that starts a winelib program called "vstservant.so" for each new request it gets. This seems to have solved the GDI heap problem totally. -Extended the audioMaster function yet more by copying a lot of opcode handlings from the vst~ pd external by Mark Williamson. I didn't ask before doing this, but according to the pdf file, he used some code from the plugin~ external, which then should automaticly make vst~ GPL. The positive result is that more plugins works. The negative result is that you now need to patch the steinberg "vst/aeffectx.h" file before compiling, as there are some strange things in it. -Some smaller fixes here and there. 0.1.0 -> 0.1.1: -Replaced the old audioMaster function in the server with the one coming from the plugin~ source by Jarno Seppänen. Result is that GRM tools 2 now works. (I thought there were a different reason it didnt work before, without going into further detail...) Seems like vst instruments works better now too. The mousedrag problem seems to have dissapeared. -Removed some debug printings. 0.0.2 -> 0.1.0: -Added graphics support to the plug-ins. (effEditOpen/effEditClose dispatch opcodes works.) -Fixed the makefile a bit. 0.0.1 -> 0.0.2: -Fixed the process function in vstlib. -Fixed the problem with processreplace could fail if sampleframes was to high. -Added processreplace simulation to vstlib, in case plugin doesnt implement processreplace itself. CREDITS vstserver and vstlib are made by Kjetil S. Matheussen / Notam. k.s.matheussen(a)notam02.no Some programming hints is gathered by looking at the pd vst-object plugin~ source and the jack soundserver source. --

VASP modular 0.1.1 - vector assembling signal processor
by Thomas Grill 02 Dec '02

02 Dec '02

Hi all, i'd like to announce a new object library consisting of a number of functions for non-realtime processing of array data. Threading can be employed for each of these transformations in order to achieve non-interupting background work on longer buffers. It has some similarities with Max/Jitter but is not (yet) as general - VASP was already in its testing phase with the advent of Jitter... if i'd known beforehand the design would possibly have been different. There are PD and Max/MSP ports (but no threading under MaxOS9!), but the help system is not finished for Max/MSP yet. I owe a lot to Marius Schebella for setting up the PD help and pointing me to numerous bugs. Check it out, it could be useful: http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext I'd really like to hear your opinion on it, and i'm open for suggestions concerning the future direction. There's also a mailing list for all affairs concerning vasp modular: http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/mailman/listinfo/vasp best greetings, Thomas
