ART & TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM - call for applications
by Palle Dahlstedt 13 Mar '03

13 Mar '03

This may be of interest to many pd users. We actually have a little pd course in the program, and several students use it for their projects. /Palle Dahlstedt --- ART & TECHNOLOGY international master's program now open for applications This two-year program is given by the IT-University of Gothenburg in collaboration with Chalmers University of Technology and the Faculty of Fine Arts at Gothenburg University, Sweden. The program is intended for people with technical/scientific and/or artistic background, any genre, any nationality, who wants to learn more about how advanced technologies can be used in art. Art in a wide sense - meaning visual art, music, text, dance, drama, etc. Art & Technology is also suitable for people with a technical background who wants to learn more about how to use their knowledge in artistic applications. The program started in 2002 and recieved considerable interest and a large number of applications. Now it's time for the next group of students, starting in September 2003. Example of courses: applied mathematics and programming, generative and processing techniques for text/image/sound, robotics, sensor technologies, alife techniques, with international guest-lecturers and cross-disciplinary projects and seminars.

[ANN] RTMix software interactive multimedia interface version 0.7 released (3/10/03)
by Ivica Bukvic 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

Hello fellow musicians, composers, multimedia sculptors, and developers! It is my pleasure to announce to you the newest release of RTMix version 0.7. New improvements include: *Internal error widget has been removed. *External Error Log now became a general purpose Console. *Added visuals for monitoring of data flow at the bottom of the external Console. *Sped-up the start-up time by 300-400% (literally :-) *Fixed bug where global transport events did not execute on a local client causing many scripts to fail. *Reordered Tabs on the main widget. *Made External resizable widgets resizable only when performance was not in session (in order to minimize cpu-utilization by RTMix during the performance settings). *Fixed Metronome weird resizing bug. Now when the meter is changed, the widget resizes appropriately. *Fixed color coding errors for the notification interface. *Re-arranged the settings saving routines. *Added new parameters to the config file. *Added networking authentication code and made it configurable in the settings tab. *Added filter for events in order to disable potentially malicious sys-calls to be executed. *Fixed gazillion (literally :-) bugs in the parsing engine. *Standardized error and logging output messages. *Color-coded Console messages. *Added "go-to-error" feature. *Implemented MIDI protocol as a separate thread. Users can now use MIDI for real-time events, as well as MIDI routing. *Provided new tabs in the settings menu that enable user to specify the appropriate MIDI port. *Implemented OSC (Open Sound Control) for inter-app communication. *Implemented generic OSC network communication. *Implemented OSC routing for the purpose of sharing the MIDI port. *Enabled variables to be included in notification interface messages. *Enabled multiple instance of variables and MIDI parameters to be included in functions, assigns, and events (sys calls and others). *Fixed metronome's inconsistent resizing. *Fixed bug where BPM's on the metronomes 2-4 were corrupt. *Jump events now interpret events they jump to in a proper fashion. *Added full-fledged HTML documentation (Yay!) *Included more tutorials and provided better annotations for the older ones. *Made apply button disabled in the settings menu, unless something was changed. *Made MIDI monitoring and MIDI logging buttons disabled by default, unless the real-time monitoring is enabled. *Added color-coding and more verbose descriptions of the real-time events in the table. *Enabled differentiation between keyboard presses and releases and their mappings to the real-time events. *Added line-number tool for the editor. *Fixed behavior of the probability parameters. *Annotated more parser's warnings. *Implemented protection against infinite recursion scripts. *Other stuff that I cannot think of at this moment. --------------------------------------------------------------- RTMix is downloadable here: http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/rtmix-latest.tar.gz (approx. file size is 4.8MB). For more info, see the included HTML docs, or visit the author's webpage at http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico/ RTMix currently runs only on Linux, although the transparency of code should make it easily portable to other Unix platforms supporting Qt toolkit. --------------------------------------------------------------- If you are not familiar with RTMix, here's a quick overview: What is RTMix? RTMix is an open-source (GPL-licensed) software application designed to provide stable, user-friendly, standardized, and efficient performance interface that enables performer(s) to interact with both the computer and each other in the least obtrusive fashion. What this means is that RTMix offers an array of visual stimuli that can be utilized on-stage in order to coordinate various performing forces utilizing diverse media. What do I need it for? How many times have you witnessed an interactive work that requires coordination between the composer and performer, composer usually being off-stage and posing as an aircraft navigator sending out all kinds of signals with waving hands and other distracting (perhaps even comical) physical gestures? Have you ever questioned computer's off-stage presence when it has an important role in generating the resulting sonic landscape (or even a multimedia setting)? Did you ever wish to have an elegant on-stage interface that is easy to use and furthermore provides the least amount of distraction for the performer(s) -- an interface that offers standardization, transportability, and most importantly low cpu-footprint, therefore enabling user to utilize majority of processor cycles for the stuff that matters the most -- the content-generation, processing and reproduction? Have you ever wished to have your work more "transportable", to have it more accessible and more easily performable in settings where you were not physically available to provide technical support to the not-so-computer-literate performer? Did you ever write a chamber acoustic work that required considerate amount of coordination but you did not want to use a conductor? How about a work for a large performing groups? Do you use powerful Music-N languages for real-time work but do not have an elegant interface for real-time performance settings? Are you a PD/Max/MSP/jMax object-oriented multimedia composer, but do not want to deal with designing the user-interface for your contraptions, nor with the lack of standardization such interfaces impose on end-users (i.e. performers other than the composer themselves)? Did you ever feel like using only one multimedia tool at a time was limiting your creativity (i.e. Csound, RTcmix, Supercollider, Pd, Max/MSP, etc.) and that you always wanted to have multiple audio applications to coexist in your work? If you have answered any of these questions positively, then RTMix just might be the answer to your needs :-). --------------------------------------------------------------- RTMix is going to be showcased next week at SEAMUS2003 conference at the Arizona State University. Should you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you! Sincerely, Ivica Ico Bukvic, multimedia sculptor http://meowing.ccm.uc.edu/~ico P.S. Apologies for cross-posting!

pdp v0.10.1
by Tom Schouten 09 Mar '03

09 Mar '03

hi all, small update: * fixed bug that caused a crash when using the pdp thread * fixed bug in pdp_noise (non-mmx) * added a pdp_glx opengl output object that works on osx get it at http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp note: the osx version now has video output (running in an X11 window), but there are still no input modules, so you can only use it for synthetic stuff. when (if) the input modules get finished, there will be a binary osx release. compilation on osx requires the X11 dev package supplied by apple. enjoy, tom

Pd-Enhanced Installers for MacOSX, build 2
by Adam Lindsay 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Hi all... Announcing a new release of the Pd (enhanced) for MacOSX. (0.36-0 build 2) http://homepage.mac.com/atl/pd/installers.html It includes everything needed to get started (including Tcl/Tk, Pd, pddp, and configuration niceties) in a 3.6 MB download. The new features in this release include: - Improved performance (avoiding drop-outs and clicks) using a modification by Klaus Lebkuecher, communicated to the pd-list by V93r. - a new -helppath command-line option - Enabled use of a ~/.pdrc configuration file (include hyphenated options, one per line) - Creates a starter ~/.pdrc configuration file as an example and for enhanced out-of-the-box use. - Creates and uses directories in /Library/Pd for simpler installation of Externals and their corresponding Help patches: If you want to install externals, libraries, or abstractions with this installation, you can place the files ending in .pd_darwin (and the abstractions that end in .pd) into the directory: /Library/Pd/Externals Install their corresponding help patches (ending in .pd) in the directory: /Library/Pd/Help If there are other files that go with these externals (such as source files, READMEs, and sample media), a convenient place for these files is: /Library/Pd/AdditionalDocumentation Pd internals are reachable from the finder at: /Library/Pd/Internals Similar directories are also created in the Home directory (i.e. ~/ Library/Pd) of the user installing Pd. The .pdrc file that is automatically generated tells Pd to look at these directories. More details at the above URL. Complaints and comments welcome. I haven't had a chance to test the installer as much as I'd like. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

pdp v0.10
by Tom Schouten 06 Mar '03

06 Mar '03

hi all, pdp v0.10 can be downloaded from http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp NOTE: this release breaks binary compatibily with the previous one. this means that: * you have to recompile PiDiP to make it work with pdp 0.10 * you need to download the new version of gem2pdp. new stuff: * logic operators: pdp_and, pdp_or, pdp_xor, pdp_not, pdp_bitmask, pdp_bitdepth * pdp_glx opengl output object (in separate library) * most objects now support a "chanmask" message which is a binary mask that determines which colour planes are processed. (default = negative = all) the rest is buxfixes and code reorganization to accomodate "not so pure" data packets (packets with external resources). i've been shuffling things around quite a bit so if i broke something, don't hesitate to let me know. opgengl support is still very experimental. enjoy, tom from the changelog: v0.10: 2003/03/06 modules code reorganization removed pdp_affine object and added compatibility object based on pdp_cheby added pdp_mchp and PDP_IMAGE_MCHP packet format (experimental) added pdp_and, pdp_or, pdp_xor, pdp_not, pdp_bitmask, pdp_bitdepth added base class for pdp objects added incremental garbage collector added support for "not so pure" data packets added opengl subproject containing a pdp_glx display object added a PDP_TEX opengl texture packet (opengl lib) added PDP_IMAGE_GREY8, PDP_IMAGE_RGB8, PDP_IMAGE_RGBA8 packets
