HID/Mapping Talk at SRI in Menlo Park, California
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 30 Jul '07

30 Jul '07

http://www.ai.sri.com/seminars/detail.php?id=209 Enabling the Spirit of Play in Musical Instrument Building Notice: hosted by Richard Waldinger Date: Thursday August 02, 2007 at 16:00 Location: EJ291 (SRI E building) (Directions) Abstract More and more performers are using computer-based instruments for live performance, using software that allows complex control and interaction with sound and visual media in real time. All too frequently, these performers tie themselves to the keyboard-mouse- monitor interaction model, narrowly constraining the range of possible gestures. A multitude of gestural input devices are readily available, making it easy to utilize a broader range of gestures. Human Interface Devices (HIDs) such as joysticks, tablets, and gamepads are cheap and can be good musical controllers. Some even provide haptic feedback. Now, the biggest hinderance for performers wanting to create their own instruments is the usability of the software. To enable the creation of computer-based instruments, we are developing software that allows instruments to be built in the same spirit of play that many people apply when learning a traditional musical instrument. This work is in collaboration with Cyrille Henry, Olaf Matthes, and David Merrill. Note for Visitors to SRI Please arrive at least 10 minutes early in order to sign in and be escorted to the conference room. SRI is located at 333 Ravenswood Avenue in Menlo Park. Visitors may park in the visitors lot in front of Building E, and should follow the instructions by the lobby phone to be escorted to the meeting room. Detailed directions to SRI, as well as maps, are available from the Visiting AIC web page. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Using ReBirth is like trying to play an 808 with a long stick. - David Zicarelli

the end of type restrictions
by Mathieu Bouchard 21 Jul '07

why would [route] and [symbol] be restricted to processing either all floats or all symbols? Why would [unpack] care whether list elements are float vs symbol vs pointer? Well, actually, they don't anymore: http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/route-mixed.png http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/select-mixed.png http://artengine.ca/desiredata/gallery/unpack-mixed.png _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801, Montréal QC Canada

recursion in Gem - a tutorial
by Claude Heiland-Allen 18 Jul '07

18 Jul '07

Hi everyone, I've been playing around with recursion in Gem, and thought I'd document my experiences. You can download the patches here (Gzip'd Tar): https://devel.goto10.org/dl.php?repname=maximus&path=%2Ftutorials%2Fgem-rec… You will also need a couple of externals that you can download here (Gzip'd Tar, C source code only): https://devel.goto10.org/dl.php?repname=maximus&path=%2Fclodlib%2F&rev=0&is… These externals are necessary because I haven't figured out a nice way to handle recursive re-entrancy in a Pd patch. If I do I'll update the tutorial with the dependancy removed. Screenshots are here, in case you're not near a computer with Pd+Gem: http://www.blurty.com/users/claudiusmaximus/day/2007/07/18#407 Please let me know if you find it useful, or if you don't. Thanks for your attention, Claude -- http://claudiusmaximus.goto10.org

call for participation LABworkshops LABoral Gijon/Spain
by Erich Berger 16 Jul '07

16 Jul '07

LABoral Centre for Art and Industrial Creation LABworkshops Call for participation Free Tools for Creators Whether for ethical, economical or technical reasons more and more digital artists are using, or interested in using, free software in their work. This is despite the serious lack of specific training in the field. LABoral in collaboration with Hangar, proposes a series of workshops for all artists interested in learning to work with free software. Hangar is a visual arts production centre from Barcelona and has over five years experience working with free software in a creative environment. Taken together, the three workshops provide a complete toolkit for the artist wanting to working with interactive audiovisual environments. VIDEO: RECORD, GENERATE, PERFORM This workshop will focus on the creation of programmes for the use of real time video-VJing, installations and interactive video. Participants will learn how to capture video and prepare loops using Kino, and to manipulate them in real time with Pure Data (PD). The generation of 3D visuals will also be taught. Pure Data (PD) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. It is one of the most flexible tools available for creators working with real-time media. PD runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. The workshop is for beginners as well as experienced users. Workshop led by: Lluis GomeZ I Bigorda is a coder and responsible for free software in Hangar, Barcelona. He has led PD workshops in Spain, Brazil, Palestine and France. http://artefacte.org/pd/ Lituz (Carles Lopez) is an audiovisual performer. He has been playing video internationally. Hans-ChristophSteiner composes music with computers, builds networks with free software, and works on interactive software. Putting the emphasis on collaboration, he has worked in many forms, including sound, robotics and sensors. He is an active member of the Pure Data. http://at.or.at/hans/ Dates: 06 - 10.08.2007 Hours: 4 - 9 pm 15 participants, age +18, selected by CV and motivation letter Registration fee: 50 euros Registration: www.laboralcentrodearte.org AUDIO: FROM REALTIME TO THE STUDIO AND BACK AGAIN This workshop will combine live audio performance and generation with the skills required to record and mix tracks. In addition, the workshop will cover interaction with audio, based on methods like pitch tracking and beat detection. Participants will learn to create programmes (patches) for audio generation and performance using Pure Data (PD), a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. They will also learn the basics of the audio studio in Linux – multitrack recording and mixing using Ardour and Rosegarden. These are robust free alternatives to commercial programmes such as ProTools. The workshop is for beginners as well as experienced users. Workshop led by : Yves Degoyon. Is a musician, mapmaker and PD coder. He is the author of the PiDiP video objects for PD as well as many other useful objects. http://ydegoyon.free.fr/software.html Lluis Carbonell is a musician and co-founder of http://costellam.net.He is a member of the dark-hop group Acoprova, producer of Jalea Real and co-producer of the soundtrack for the film El Taxista Full.

It is based on a simple i/o board, and a development environment for writing Arduino software. The Arduino programming language is an implementation of the language used by Wiring, while the Arduino environment is based on Processing. Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other outputs. Arduino projects can stand alone, or communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, Pure Data). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free. Arduino received an Honorary Mention in the Digital Communities section of the 2006 Prix Ars Electronica. The workshop is for beginners as well as experienced users. Workshop led by: David Cuartielles is co-creator of the Arduino Open Hardware Platform and has directed numerous workshops. He exhibits his own artistic work regularly. Marcos Yarza is an industrial engineer and collaborates on Arduino Project since September 2005 (hyperlink “http://www.libelium.com” www.libelium.com).

LABoral is a space for artistic exchange. It is set up with the purpose of establishing an effective alliance between art, design, culture, industry and economic progress and the goal of becoming a space for interaction and dialogue between art, new technologies and industrial creation. It throws a special spotlight in production, creation and research into art concepts still being defined.

All sorts of things are possible. I have plenty of ideas in mind on how to use it. [tracecall] can be used to record a report about every error (or the last N errors), which could be queried by the user. Those reports could be either listed as text or drawn in the patch... or both, with clickable text. > i mean, like, one can keep click on a "next" button to advance the > trace, and at each time step, a corresponding object in the tracecall > will be hilited. If you want to help implementing this, you are welcome. _ _ __ ___ _____ ________ _____________ _____________________ ... | Mathieu Bouchard - tél:+1.514.383.3801, Montréal QC Canada
