interactive musical robot controlled with pd
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

I am just finished programming Yoyo, one of the many machines of http://AmorphicRobotWorks.org/ . Yoyo listens to rhythms created by gallery goers and improvises upon them using his three fingers on a drum, a bass kick, and a bow on a long berimbau-like string. Yoyo is at the Art Interactive gallery in Cambridge, Massachussets until October 6th, as part of the "Engaging Characters" show: http://artinteractive.org/ Yoyo is controlled by a Pd patch running on a Debian GNU/Linux PC. MIDI signals are sent to one of Eric Singer's MIDI relay boards, which control a set of Opto-22 relays, which control motors and pneumatic pistons. All of the software will be released under the GNU GPL. An ogg stream is planned. .hc

PLEASE GET BACK TO ME
by CHRISTOPHER NDULOVO 29 Jul '03

29 Jul '03

Hello, With warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope This letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to Receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of integrity. My name is CHRISTOPHER NDULOVO, the son of PASCAL ZHIRI NDULOVO, One of the most popular farmers from Zimbabwe, who was murdered in the Land dispute in my country. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email, after searching for Contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Zimbabwe for now. I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance in a Business venture. Due to the land and political problems in Zimbabwe, and President Robert Mugabe's introduction of new Land Act Reform wholly affecting the rich white farmers and the few rich black farmers, all white farmers were asked to surrender their farms to the Government for re-distribution and infact to his political party members and my Father though black was the treasury of the farmers association and a strong Member of an opposition party that did not support the president's idea. He then ordered his party members and the police under his pay row to invade my father's farm and burn down everything in the farm. They killed my father and took away a lot of items from his farm. After the death of my father, our local pastor and a close friend of my father handed us over will documents with instructions from my father That we should leave Zimbabwe incase anything happen to him. The will documents have a certificate of deposit, Airway bill confirming cash Deposit totalling Twelve million five hundred thousand united state dollars. [$12.5m] kept in custody for us in a security company unknown to the company ) that the content is money hence it was deposited as personal belongings. This money was deposited with this Private Security Company for Safety and security reasons, and was to be used for the purchase Of land, new machines and chemicals establishment of new farms in Botswana. This violent and barbaric act by Mugabe has since led to the death of my beloved mother and kid sister and other innocent lives. I was continually threatened to abandon my inheritance from my father after he was murdered. I resisted for a while, but when the danger became unbearable, and I survived two murder attempts, I fled Zimbabwe with the help of my father's close friend Mr. John Casahans from Australia also a farmer who was leaving in Zimbabwe with us but left with his family following this ugly development I have tried to reach him but all to no avail. I am currently staying in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. In fact my decision to come here to seek asylum, is because the security company from South Africa, has a branch here, I have contacted them to move the safe deposit from their office in Johannesburg to The affiliate office here in Amsterdam The Netherlands which they are waiting further directives from me before they effect the movement. I need to transfer this money to an account and invest part of the Money. Since the law of Netherlands prohibits a refugee (asylum Seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved in any financial Transaction, this is why I am seeking a genuine and reliable Partner, whose account this money can be transferred after the consignment must have been duely transferred from South Africa, hence your involvement in this venture. You have to understand that this decision taken by me is a very big And brave one, and it entrusts my future in your hands, as a result of the safe keeping of this money. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to assist with arrangements to claim the deposit from the security company from their office here in The Netherlands, as it has now been transferred from Johannesburg, South Africa to their branch here. The company will be legally informed of you representing me. For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to have 20% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country. Whichever the option you want, please to notify me in your reply. I have also set aside 1 % of the total sum $12.5M for all kinds of Expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4% For Charity donation. If you prefer to accept the 20% for Your moral and financial assistance then the balance will be left in the account here for me. Please note that this 1% is not with me at the moment but shall be deducted from the total contract sum as soon as the money finally hits your nominated account. Finally I want you to maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction. your reply should be sent to my private Email address only chrisjustice12(a)netscape.net I look forward to your reply and c-operation, and I thank you in Advance as I anticipate your co-operation. Sincerely, CHRIS NDULOVO chrisjustice12(a)netscape.net

mccallum_abstractions updated, windows Pd.bat, old pd_launcher
by David McCallum 18 Jul '03

18 Jul '03

mccallum_abstractions --------------------- I've never posted this on the list but I maintain a modest collection of abstractions on my site that I've recently updated. I know some of you use them, so you may be interested to know that I've done some minor updates. This collection has, among other things: - a graphical MIDI monitor - NRPN in and out - tracker-style keyboard mapping (with Dvorak option!) - VST player module and interface (including the keyboard map) - shoutcast radio module and interface with saveable stations - GUI overhaul of Frank Barknecht's Angriff drums - a pitched version of the Angriff drums that takes MIDI note data - a modular mixer system - a very complicated system for saving abstraction GUI settings (but it works!). Pd.bat and pd_launcher ---------------------- I've decided to discontinue my pd_launcher.zip collection of windows externals and batch file. I can't be bothered to keep a behemoth zip file current. And people seemed more interested in the batch file than the externals anyway. So the only thing that's current there is my Pd.bat file. The old pd_launcher.zip still does exist, but will slowly become obsolete. *** All of this can be found at http://mentalfloss.ca/sintheta/html/downloads.html *** David . . David McCallum .

k_cext v0.2.5
by Kjetil S. Matheussen 13 Jul '03

13 Jul '03

http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/pd/bin/ The k_cext PD external makes you able to program the programming language "C" directly within the PD objects. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Which means: You don't need an external text-editor. | +-------------------------------------------------------+ CHANGES 0.2.4 -> 0.2.5: -Fixed the problem that integer numbers sometimes was converted to floats before compiling. -Fixed ENDSWITCH macro. -Small internal changes. -Changed the PD subpatch example in the README file to use the trigger object. The information that was written earlier that you had to make connections in a certain order, was misinformation. The behaviour is unspesified according to the spesification. The trigger object fix such situations. (But if you need to use the trigger-object, its a good sign that you should rather use k_cext for the operation anyway. My opinion.) -Removed the windows .dll file. If you are not able to compile up k_cext yourself, you most probably aren't able to use k_cext either. -Added a "print" message, which prints out the generated c-code with line-numbers to the terminal. -Prints out the generated c-code with linenumbers if compilation fails. Makes debugging a lot faster. -Added a SEND macro that takes a symbol string and a number, and sends a pd message. -Added "DO", which can (and should) be used instead of the BEGIN macro. DO is not a macro, but a special symbol used by the k_cext preprocessor to know when to automaticly insert BEGIN and END based on indentation. Just like Python. :) -Changed the main example patch to use DO instead of BEGIN/END. -Added some more example patches. -Fixed nearly correct indentation of the generated C code. --

k_cext V0.2.4
by Kjetil S. Matheussen 07 Jul '03

07 Jul '03

http://www.notam02.no/~kjetism/pd/bin/k_cext-0.2.4.tar.gz k_cext PD external INTRODUCTION The k_cext PD external makes you able to program the programming language "C" directly within the PD objects. +-------------------------------------------------------+ | Which means: You don't need an external text-editor. | +-------------------------------------------------------+ WHY USE K_CEXT The reason for using "C" in k_cext was simply because it is so simple to compile and link c code inside externals in pd. C is probably not the best suited language for this task, except when extreme cpu-efficiency is needed. Still, I personally think making small k_cext objects is a lot more comfortable than making large pd sub-patches doing the same things. And thats probably the main reason to use k_cext. A SMALL EXAMPLE IN K_CEXT The following k_cext object have one inlet and one outlet. What it does, when receiving a value on the inlet, is to send the _previously_ received inlet value to the outlet. [ k_cext 1 1; static t_float prev=0; O(0,prev); prev=V(0); ] The "k_cext 1 1" line is the k_cext header. The first "1" means that it uses one inlet, and the second "1" means that it uses one outlet. The "static t_float prev=0;" line declares a variable for the object called "prev". "t_float" means that the type of the variable is a floating-point number. "static" means here that the value for the variable is remembered the next time the object is runned, which is necesarry if we want to send out the previous value sent to the inlet. "O(0,prev);" sends the value of "prev" to outlet number 0. "O" is a function. "prev=V(0);" stores the value of the current inlet to the variable "prev" for the next time the object is run. THE SAME EXAMPLE AS A PD SUB-PATCH The following PD-patch does the same: [inlet] | +-------+ | | [bang] | | | [ float ] | [outlet] You must also make sure that the inlet->bang connection is made before the inlet->float connection. I guess its a matter of personal taste, but I really don't find the PD-way of sending out a previous value very intuitive. And especially not the requirement to create the connections in a certain order to make a patch function correctly. In addition, the advantage of using k_cext instead of making PD sub-patches becomes more appearent the larger the tasks are. Look at the help-file, and try to do the same things directly in PD. K_CEXT OBJECT A k_cext object can be divided into three parts: 1. Header. 2. Variables 3. Body. K_CEXT HEADER The first line in a k_cext header is built up like this: "k_cext <num_inlets> <num_outlets> <default inlet values>". "k_cext 4 5 1 2 3 4" means that the object has 4 inlets, 5 outlets, and the value of V(0) is by default 1, the value of V(1) is by default 2, the value of V(2) is by default 3, and the value of V(3) is by default 4. Its optional whether you want to set "default inlet values" or not. If not set, they get the value 0. K_CEXT VARIABLES There are four types of variables that makes sense using in a k_cext object. These are: "int" - integer number. "t_float" - floating point numbes "INTARRAY" - An array of integer numbers. "FLOATARRAY" - An array of floating point numbers. See the help patch for examples of use. MACROS / USING THE PD OBJECT AS A TEXT-EDITOR Using the pd object as a text-editor is unfortunately a bit limited. But by using some pre-defined macros spesified in the "k_cext.h" file, its not that bad. begin/end - The most noticable limitation is probably that you are not able to write { or }. This is solved easely by using the BEGIN and END macros. lineshift - The pd object text editor doesn't understand lineshift directly. Instead you have to use ";" at the end of each line. semicolon - If you need to write ";", but dont want the line to end right there, use the "SC" macro instead. indentation - The pd object text editor automaticly removes spaces and tabs from the beginning of lines. You can work around this by writing ". " instead. The k_cext external removes all ". "'s at the beginning of lines before compiling the code. More macros are defined in the k_cext.h header file. OS k_cext runs fine in linux using gcc and in windows using visual C. The macosx code was made by looking at code inside PD, and has never been tested (at least not that I know if). It might work, but probably not. Check out the k_cext_macosx.c file. FAQ Q: I can not get k_cext to work in windows, and I dont have Visual C. A: You need Visual C. CHANGES 0.2.3 -> 0.2.4: -Added a lot of new macros to k_cext.h. -Fixed the help file a bit. -Wrote the README file. -Changed the license for k_cext.h from GPL to LGPL. (Note, the k_cext external is still GPL) -Some windows code was for some strange reason put in the macosx file. Fixed. -Added Mac OSX to the Makefile. (Not tested.)
