[dev] flext 0.4.6 - c++ layer for cross-platform external development
by Thomas Grill 24 Apr '04

24 Apr '04

Hi all, i just uploaded a new release of flext, a c++ layer for cross-platform development of PD and Max/MSP externals. Several bugs have been fixed and some features been added. - support for MinGW - added some help and a text edit window to the attribute editor - improved handling of patcher arguments with attributes - finally use global allocator operators (MFC doesn't like it but who cares) - appended lacking ~ for tilde object help patches - uniform STL container for all kinds of attribute, method, class handling - added flext_obj::CanvasArgs to get the patcher arguments of the containing canvas (PD only) - fixed buffer overrun problems with flext::post, flext::error... (but still to improve) - default arguments for object construction (types float0,int0,t_symtype0 for FLEXT_NEW*), just as A_DEFFLOAT etc. and some more.... Download as usual from http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext best greetings, Thomas

RRADical in CVS
by Frank Barknecht 23 Apr '04

23 Apr '04

Hallo, I've finally put the current state of RRADicals into the CVS on pure-data.sf.net but it might be, that you won't be able to access it until tomorrow because of Sourceforge latency. A current snapshot is at http://footils.org/pkg/rradical-cvs-040423.tgz in the meantime. On CVS, RRADical is in the directory "abstractions/rradical" which contains several subfolders, of which the following need to be in your pd-path if you want to use or create RRADical patches. memento control tpl instruments effects To install you need to add something like this to .pdrc: -path /rradical/memento:/rradical/control:/rradical/tpl:/rradical/instruments:/rradical/effects Beware that you will need a whole bunch of externals for this. You need them all. Everything. But first and foremost you need "pool". In "usecases" you will find several unsorted example patches using the RRADical patches for your copy-paste pleasure. In "memento" there also is a tutorial which introduces some of Memento's features. As this is a really big collection, which is currently rapidly growing (today I converted the "d-angriff" patch which took my just 15 minutes!), you might at first want to start with the document in the "doc" directory. This is a readable (still slightly unfinished) version of my talk on RRADical which will be held at the LAConf2 next week in Karlsruhe. Be the first kid on the block having read this. There is the reStructuredText file in rradical.rst, or use the html- or pdf-files created from this. Well, have fun. Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__

FAQ wiki
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 10 Apr '04

10 Apr '04

I made the FAQ into a wiki using the old content. It still needs some organization work: http://pure-data.iem.at/docs/faq Everyone should contribute questions and answers so that we can help newbies get up to speed without having the same questions posted over and over on the list. It uses "Structured Text" because that is the default format of Plone's wiki. .hc http://at.or.at/hans/

workshop Pure Data
by Marloes de Valk 09 Apr '04

09 Apr '04

WORKSHOP PURE DATA Netherlands Media Art Institute, Montevideo/Time Based Arts 26 - 29 May 2004 Fee: E 150,- Guests: Aymeric Mansoux, Derek Holzer, Frank Barknecht and Jaromil This workshop is meant for beginners and will focus on Open Source software for the real-time manipulation of audio and video. The dual package of Pure Data and GEM, offer a complete set of tools for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes. Topics will include: real-time audio and video processing with PD and GEM, RRADical PD, PDP and an overview of other free and open source audio and video tools for Linux. PD and GEM The dual package of PD [Pure Data] and GEM [Graphics Environment for Multimedia], developed under an open source model by an international community of programmers, offers just such a set of tools. Running under Linux or OSX, PD and GEM can be used in commonly available, inexpensive hardware as a complete multimedia environment. Both applications allow for the real-time manipulation of sound and image data within a visual programming environment which does not require any previous experience in traditional computer languages. PDP is a set of external objects to PD developed by Tom Schouten, and are based on the idea of processing data in packets. While it is primarily used for video, the basic structure of PDP allows any kind of data to be processed into any other kind of data. Images can be converted to textures, which can be mapped onto 3D objects, converted back to images, changed into sound, re-rendered again as image, and so on. The possibilities are endless. RRADical PD (Reusable and Rapid Audio Development) is a set of patches created by Frank Barknecht in order to make Pure Data easier and faster to use for newcomers and for people who are looking for a collection of standardized music tools similar to what commerical software packages such as Reason or Reaktor offer. The workshop is for beginners. The level will go up while the week progresses. The first day will be dedicated to basic PD and for those who bring their own machine, an installation session. For applications please contact Marloes de Valk marloes(a)montevideo.nl <mailto:marloes@montevideo.nl> Purpose While many tools exist for sound, multimedia and VJ purposes, few of them are designed with an open architecture which allows artists to configure the tools they use themselves. Fewer still are free. The importance of an open source development model may seem academic at first, but in fact there is a strong need for a workshop of this kind. The fees, licenses and restrictions that come with commercial software become more and more restrictive every day, and the knowledge in the new media community of free and open source software is extremely limited. Coupled with this is the stigma that open source software, such as Linux, is "too difficult" for artists to use. This workshop aims to provide the tools which can be taken away and put to use immediately and the knowledge of how to use them productively. Details The workshop sessions will be held in the Netherlands Media Art Institute. Over the 4 days of the workshop, 12 participants will learn about PD, GEM, and PDP, working under the Linux operating system. Topics of the workshop will include: * Crash course 'Installing PD and GEM for beginners' with invited guests * Basic PD with Derek Holzer * Basic GEM with Aymeric Mansoux * Intermediate PD with Derek Holzer * RRADical PD with Frank Barknecht * PDP with Aymeric Mansoux * Clinic * Presentation and jamm session At the end of the fourth day a short presentation of the workshop will take place. This presentation will be open to an audience invited by the participants. The workshop will finish with a "Jam Session", in which the participants can share the creations they have made with each other and with the audience. Note for OSX and Windows users PD, GEM and PDP are multi platform and besides Linux can be used under OSX and Windows. There will be a special 'installing PD and GEM crash course on the first day of the workshop, which will take beginners through the process of installation step by step. OSX users should take into account that installing PDP on their machines might not be possible during the limited time of the workshop. A step by step manual is available online. Invited Guests Frank Barknecht (D) Open source developer, sound artist and the creator of the End-User Abstractions project (RRADical PD, Reusable and Rapid Audio Development) which makes it possible to learn using Pd in a top-down way, making PD more accessible and open. <http://footils.org> Aymeric Mansoux (F) Artist and author of pure-data tutorials/articles for MusicRun, Co-Founder of a group dedicated to alternative digital art study and Co-Founder of Goto10, an organization dedicated to set up and produce electronic live events. <http://www.bleu255.com> Derek Holzer (NL/US) Sound artist currently based in Utrecht. Initiated the Acoustic Space Lab Project, an "open source sampling project" which invites artists to use a database of samples gathered at a former Soviet spy station to create a common body of work. <http://acoustic.space.re-lab.net/lab> <http://www.umatic.nl> Jaromil (I) Jaromil is an italian GNU/Linux programmer, author and mantainer of three free softwares and a operating system: MuSe (for running a web radio), FreeJ (for veejay and realtime video manipulation), HasciiCam (ascii video streaming) and dyne:bolic. http://rastasoft.org/ <http://rastasoft.org> Marloes de Valk Educatie Nederlands Instituut voor Mediakunst, Montevideo/Time Based Arts Keizersgracht 264 1016 EV Amsterdam T 020 6237101 F 020 6244423 E marloes(a)montevideo.nl www.montevideo.nl

GEM 0.888 release-candidate 2 : codename 04/04/04
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 06 Apr '04

06 Apr '04

hi all surprisingly for all comes that i have put a release-candidate for Gem on the iem-pages; you can download from http://gem.iem.at/download.html or ftp://iem.at/pd/Externals/GEM/ for users: as for now, only windows-compiles are online. there is a a gem-bin-dec-0.888rc2.zip file that holds the documentation and the Gem.dll; just unpack it into your pd directory. (the zip files are relative to the pd-directory; so the extra\Gem.dll should be in path\to\my\pd\extra after unzipping and you don't have to execute a .bat file to run it) for devs: it does not yet include the very recent changes of chris, as i have compiled it yesterday before they were checked in... mfg.asd.r IOhannes PS: my announcement-mail yesterday somehow didn't make it (probably i forgot to hit send)

USB multI/O box - first version online
by Christian Klippel 04 Apr '04

04 Apr '04

hello all, first, sorry for cross-posting. the very first, working version of the io-box i promised to make is finished now. to give you an impression and a starting point, all of the current files for that project are now online under http://mamalala.de many things need to be cleaned up and extended, not to talk about the web content... ;-) the unit itself splits into a mainoard and extension boards. for now, just a "userboard" is available as extension, but many others will follow, some even shortly. but anyway, i placed it online already, because it can be used already ! tough you wont get the full functionality, you already can use basic i/o of all _right_now_supported_ types with the userboard. basically i hope to get the interrest of people who want to code drivers for various platforms right now, but anyone is welcome to take a look. you can expect changes quite frequently in the next time, i am already preparing new boards and enhance the firmware. if you are interrested, but it has not (yet) what you need, you may check back on a weekly basis. big changes will be announced here anyway..... hopefully this project can solve many people's i/o needs for artistic and musical in the future, for a relatively low price so anyone can afford it (if she/he can build a unit or knows one who can) have fun and stay tuned, chris
