Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4 with [hid]/Mac OS X and creb updates
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 31 May '06

31 May '06

http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html Another test build with random fixes, and a couple key ones: - big updates to [hid] on Mac OS X (Windows and GNU/Linux coming soon) - all of the creb C objects included on all platforms I am especially interested in feedback on the [hid] for Mac OS X. After this, there will be no more updates to [hid], instead I will move all the code to a new name, and start making incompatible changes to solve some key issues. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. - General Smedley Butler

APPLICATION DEADLINE 1st July 2006. Please apply via email to sense(a)anart.no subject: INTERFACE and SOCIETY exhibition with the following information: 1) Project name / year of production 2) Artist name(s) + email / contact information 3) Short project description 4) Project URL + URL for online documentation (pdf, pictures, video) 5) Short CV Alternatively you can send the requested information via snailmail to: Atelier Nord Lakkegata 55 D N-0187 Oslo Norway ad: INTERFACE and SOCIETY exhibition ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERFACE and SOCIETY In our everyday life we constantly have to cope more or less successfully with interfaces. We use the mobile phone, the mp3 player, and our laptop, in order to gain access to the digital part of our life. In recent years this situation has lead to the creation of new interdisciplinary subjects like "Interaction Design" or "Physical Computing". We live between two worlds, our physical environment and the digital space. Technology and its digital space are our second nature and the interfaces are our points of access to this technosphere. Since artists started working with technology they have been developing interfaces and modes of interaction. The interface itself became an artistic thematic. The project INTERFACE and SOCIETY investigates how artists deal with the transformation of our everyday life through technical interfaces. With the rapid technological development a thoroughly critique of the interface towards society is necessary. The role of the artist is thereby crucial. S/he has the freedom to deal with technologies and interfaces beyond functionality and usability. The project INTERFACE and SOCIETY is looking at this development with a special focus on the artistic contribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERFACE and SOCIETY is an umbrella for a range of activities throughout 2006 at Atelier Nord in Oslo.

pd-list now part of pd-announce!
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 30 May '06

30 May '06

after a grace period of several weeks and some positive replies i will now make the switch to add pd-list to the pd-announce subscribers. This means that each email that is sent to Pd-announce will automatically pop up at Pd-list. People who are currently subscribed to Pd-list (with mail-delivery enabled) will have mails from Pd-announce disabled. This is a one time action (happening immediately after i sent this email); feel free to re-enable the Pd-announce delivery via your mailman-webinterface if you feel the urge to do so. People who are only subscribed to the Pd-announce list are not affected by this change. this should make cross-postings of announcements to both the announcement-list and the main-list unneccessary. mfg.asdr. IOhannes PS: this mail will appear on both mailing lists (so you might get it double); i will change this after i sent this email

Pd compiled for imac
by Miller Puckette 27 May '06

27 May '06

I've got an experimental version of Pd compiled for imac available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html ... unfortunately, since it seemed advisable to update portaudio to the new, completely rewritten one, it would be unwise to retrofit this to Pd 0.39 (might change latencies or other things for pre-existing platforms). I made up a new file extension for externs (pd_imac) ... we could always go to a "sensible" naming convention in the future and stay back compatible, if people think it's too ad hoc. In the long term, the set of architectures/ OSes seems set to stay at around hald a dozen active ones, so there's no big problem just making up names unsystematically. The only other policy implication is this: I'm using files from the supplied "Wish shell.app" on Imac, which seems a reasonable thing to do, but strictly speaking it's probably more correct to download a bsd-licensed wish shell or recompile it from source. That shouldn't be too difficult to do, I hope. cheers Miller

PWM in Pd
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 25 May '06

25 May '06

I wrote two objects for doing PWM in Pd, one at message rate, the other at audio rate: http://at.or.at/hans/pd/objects.html If you want to know what PWM is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation Of course, these will be included in Pd-extended, and already partially are. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ ¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!

Sv: Pduino: arduino firmware + pd object
by David Cuartielles 22 May '06

22 May '06

Hej Hans, thanks for the contribution, we will post it to the website once tested and confirmed that your doubts about the communication are not an issue. Hasta pronto from Malmoe, Sweden, David Cuartielles Prototyping Laboratory Interaction Design K3 . Malmo University 20506 Malmo Sweden +4640 665 7220 david.cuartielles(a)k3.mah.se >>> Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans(a)eds.org> 06-05-22 20:30 >>> Here's the first test release of Pduino, the Pd firmware for Arduino (http://arduino.cc) and a matching Pd object, [arduino]. This allows you get data from the digital and analog inputs, and send data to the PWM and digital outputs. It also allows you to change the digital pins from input, output, or PWM. And you can choose how many analog inputs and turn on/off digital input. http://at.or.at/hans/pd/objects.html Keep in mind its a test release, the only thing I am not sure about right now is digitalInput, everything else seems to work fine. .hc ________________________________________________________________________ ____ "Information wants to be free." -Stewart Brand

[ANN] aubio 0.3.0
by Paul Brossier 22 May '06

22 May '06

The latest version of aubio, 0.3.0, is now available. aubio is a library for audio labelling. The goal of this project is to provide automatic feature extraction algorithms to other audio software projects. Features include onset detection, beat tracking, and pitch detection. Functions can be used off-line in sound editors and software samplers, or online in audio effects and virtual instruments. This release features several changes and includes a Puredata external, containing 5 objects: * aubiopitch~ pitch tracking object, similar to fiddle~ and pick~ * aubioonset~ onset detection, similar to bonk~ * aubiotempo~ beat tracking * aubiotss~ transient / steady state separation (experimental) * aubioquiet~ simple silence detector Not all aubio features are available from PD yet, but onset and pitch detection routines should be more robust than other existing externals. Other important changes include: * new pitch detection method, yinfft * new beat tracking algorithm (improved from 0.2.0) * enhancements to the onset detection algorithms * improved aubiocut, can now slice at beats and silences * new aubiopitch python program to extract pitch tracks * plotting features for aubiocut and aubiopitch * python interface refactored * updated documentation As usual, the source code can be found at http://aubio.piem.org/ , and Debian packages are available from http://piem.org/debian/ . Feedback most appreciated! Paul Brossier

Resurfacing : An Interactive Installation by Ben Bogart and Donna Marie Vakalis
by B. Bogart 21 May '06

21 May '06

Hello all, Resurfacing is currently being installed at the Interaccess Electronic Media Arts Centre. The show will up up until Thursday May 25th, so this is the last week to be able to see it. A text-only version of the press-release follows: For Immediate Release May 15, 2006 Media Contact: Ben Bogart, 416-516-5760 to email ben(a)ekran.org Resurfacing Resurfacing will be exhibited at: May 23rd to 25th 2006 12:00pm to 5:00pm at The Interaccess Electronic Media Arts Centre 9 Ossington Avenue, Toronto, ON Resurfacing is an interactive installation by Ben Bogart and Donna Marie Vakalis that captures and archives viewpoints or moments from its own context. Moments are evaluated by how they change over time and the extent to which they engage the audience. The collection of viewpoints is projected onto two screens. Each viewpoint is projected one at a time on a 4x3 foot touch-screen that allows the audience to push through time. Simultaneously the second screen shows a map of all the viewpoints in terms of their position in context and their success. Meaning is a complex tapestry created from patches of theory. These patches are in constant flux and reorganization. Meaning is the process of rethinking and reconsidering. The patches of meaning do not always connect elegantly. Meaning is overgrown with seams. The caretakers of meaning are not only individuals but a multiplicity of objects and subjects. Meaning grows from the community negotiation of these seams. Resurfacing is the shifting of the frames of viewpoint. The flat surface becomes a deep collection of frames from the present, the past and their intersections. Ben Bogart graduated from the New Media program at Ryerson University in 2004. He is an artist, teacher and programmer working in Toronto. Ben has presented work in Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal, Vancouver, Seattle, Helsinki, Bergen and Barcelona. Donna Marie Vakalis is a graduate student of architecture at the University of Toronto. Resurfacing is made possible by the Canada council for the Arts, and the artists gratefully thank the Interaccess Electronic Media Arts Centre, Artengine, The Design Exchange, The Evolving Stories Studio and KeyTec Inc. http://b.goto10.org/Resurfacing http://www.ekran.org/ben http://www.artengine.ca/resurfacing
