Pure Data FLOSS Manual Book Sprint 4-6 April 2009 in NYC and Berlin
by Derek Holzer 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

FLOSS Manuals is proud to announce a three day book sprint for the Pure Data FLOSS Manual. This sprint will take place simultaneously in New York City and Berlin from Saturday 4 April to Monday 6 April. The Pure Data FLOSS Manual: http://en.flossmanuals.net/puredata There are possibilities to participate in person by coming to one of the locations below, or remotely via the IRC interface built into the FLOSS Manuals editing interface. Video conferencing may take place between the venues as well. To participate, create a login at the PD FLOSS Manuals page: http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/login/TWiki/WebHome?origurl=/bin/view/PureDa… Discussion may also take place in the Pure Data mailing list: http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list If you are in New York or Berlin, please join us at these locations! ---NEW YORK CITY * Contact: Hans-Christoph Steiner: hans(a)eds.org 718 360 4872 * Location (bring ID, you'll need to sign in): ITP/NYU Conference Room 721 Broadway, 4th Floor NY, NY, USA email me or call in case you can get past security: 718 360 4872 * Schedule: Saturday: noon-midnight Sunday: 10am-midnight Monday: 9am-5:30pm (if we go later, we'll be in a different room) ---BERLIN * Contacts Derek Holzer: derek(a)umatic.nl +49 176 2812 5845 Adam Hyde: adam(a)flossmanuals.net +49 15 2230 54563 NK ElsenStr. 52 (2.Hof) Berlin, Germany +49 176 20626386 http://www.myspace.com/enka52 * Schedule: Saturday: noon-late Sunday: noon-late Monday: noon-late SOME BASIC GUIDELINES: * This manual should address the widest possible user-base. Therefore, objects which are cross-platform and in Pd Extended should have priority over other solutions. * Tone should be neutral and informative. Remember that humor doesn't always translate well! ;-) * Our readers are assumed to have little to no background in either computer programming or digital signal processing, which much of the existing documentation takes for granted. That's why this manual is necessary! Please keep this in mind when explaining things. * Please use existing the Audio Tutorials, Installing and Getting Started chapters as a style guide. * Keep the chapters small and self-contained. Ideally, chapters from this manual could even be "remixed" into other FLOSS Manuals. * Explain any jargon or technical terminology in-line the first time you use it, and direct the reader to appropriate other chapters/manuals when necessary. * Please enter any new technical terms in the Glossary (we need to agree on global format for glossary terms!). * Screenshots: ---Resolution? (Adam and I will work on this on Monday) ---Please upload any complex patches, and make sure to label screenshot with appropriate filename (see Audio Tutorials for examples) ---Please keep explanatory text in the manual rather than only in the screenshot, so that it can be text-searched by readers. ---Please use anti-aliased fonts! * All the chapters are moderated by Derek Holzer & Adam Hyde. Your contributions will only be visible in the editing section until they meet these guidelines, and after that they can be published to the main page. Please let us know when your chapter(s) are ready for publishing and we'll look them over. EXISTING CHAPTERS WHICH NEED HELP: # DataflowTutorials ---this section needs a lot of help in terms of style and content!!!!! Tone is very informal, which doesn't help convey the information. ---give titles to screenshots so that readers can tell which patches match which images (some do this, some don't...) ---"Math": examples/discussion of [expr]??? ---"Order of connecting and [trigger]": explain the patches in-line, rather than only in comments in screenshots (so that text is searchable, copy/pasteable..) ---Luka's screencaps are very aliased, to the point where you can't read the ~ in the object names. Should they be redone at new resolution or with antialiasing? ---Possible janitors: Derek Holzer, Adam Hyde # PureGlossary ---format of object names = [italics in square brackets], must be formatted correctly ---format of glossary words in general text: we don't have one yet. Bold on first use in chapter maybe? Needs formatting all through text. # ListofObjects ---incomplete, please add more libs ---maybe more discussion of externals needed as well ---formatting of object names? # PureLinks ---always welcome MORE CHAPTERS/SECTIONS TO DO (+ suggestions?): * GEM (in order of importance)(Derek can provide example patches for much of this) ---Basic VJ mixer (2 x [gemhead]-[pix_film]-[alpha]-[colorRGB]-[pix_texture]-[rectangle] with an alpha-crossfader)(+ platform specific codec info) ---Live camera input (same as VJ mixer but with [pix_video], with platform specific info on USB/firewire inputs--what works & what doesn't) ---VJ effects (using the various pix objects) ---Basic 3D (that actually does something interesting, rather than just show a sphere or a cube) ---Basic movement tracking w/ [pix_blob] ---GEM/video optimization/troubleshooting tips (see Troubleshooting section of existing Pd FLOSS Manual) * MIDI tutorial ---hardware:keyboards, sliders, etc, ---objects: all MIDI objects ---routing: input + output to/from devices or other programs * Patching strategies ---Reusable abstractions ($0 etc) ---GoP + other GUI creation strategies ---Preset saving systems (Frank?) * Audiofile manipulation (Derek can provide examples, possibly also work with www.pd-tutorial.com with permission?) ---sfread, readsf, sfplay, etc ---tables + tabplay, tabread, etc ---oneshot playback without/with pitch shifting ---looping without/with pitchshifting ---granulation without/with pitchshifting ---Extended objects ([xplay~], [xgroove~]...are these stable? In my experience, no...) * Realtime audio effects tutorial ---delays: single tap, multitap, pitch-shifting, tuned comb filter, etc ---filters: [hip~], [lop~], [bp~], [moog~], IEM lib filters [vcf~]/[bp],[hp],[lp], difference between audio signal and message controlled, building with ggee objects [bandpass],[llowpass],[highpass] or [biquad~] (resources for coefficients?) * Sensor tutorial (HC?) ---[hid]/[hidin]/[pduino] ---simple circuit diagrams + photos (voltage divider examples: potentiometer, photoresistor, etc)(hacked gamepads) * Networked data ---netsend/netreceive ---OSC ---flash server ---shell ---python externals ---others? * PDP/PiDiP ---configuration info for OSX (+ poor performance disclaimer!) ---basic VJ ---networked streaming etc * Procedural Audio tutorial? (Andy?) * RJDJ tutorial?

Taller de Algoritmia Abril 2009
by Correa Diego 25 Mar '09

25 Mar '09

A la comunidad de Pure Data, Están abiertas las inscripciones al Taller de Algoritmia Abril 2009, en Santiago de Chile. Resumen de la actividad: La orientación del taller es la integración de conocimientos prácticos de programación visual en dos lineas de trabajo: técnicas en arquitectura genética y uso de la herramienta Pure Data (Pd)*. El taller está compuesto por cuatro módulos de cuatro alumnos. Dos de estos módulos se especializarán en introducción y técnicas de algoritmos para la arquitectura genética y los otros dos en el uso de la herramienta Pure Data para la aplicación en música y video-performance. Estos módulos abarcan competencias complementarias. El método formativo utilizado (esquema CUATRO) consta de sesiones intensivas de una hora y media en módulos de cuatro alumnos y un expositor guía. El expositor guía los primeros 45 minutos de cada sesión al estudio representativo de la técnica para luego practicar el método durante los siguientes 45 minutos en la construcción de una obra. - Lugar: dōjō 道場. Valenzuela Castillo 1269-B, Providencia, Santiago de Chile. - Inscripciones: al correo algoritmia(a)labormedia.cl o al teléfono (562) 8805476. Sobre el expositor guía: Diego Correa T. ha promovido una profunda curiosidad por las plataformas que dan pie a proyectos relacionados con la concepción y experimentación tanto en música y arte como en matemáticas. Desde los inicios en 2003 del trabajo en modelado de agentes con programación convexa, mientras era alumno de economía, su interés por el uso de herramientas para el modelado matemático se ha desarrollado. En 2004 en el Centro de Música y Tecnología (CMT), actual Laboratorio Arcis de Informática Musical (LAIM), en Santiago de Chile, se instruyó para el aprendizaje en interpretación musical y multimedial por medio de software libre desarrollado en el instituto de investigación y coordinación acústico/musical (IRCAM) de Francia. Entre el 2006 y el 2008 desempeñó labores de producción e investigación para el Laboratorio de Medios de la Universidad Católica de Chile (MDLB UC), fundado por el neurobiólogo y artista de medios de la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU), José Miguel Tagle. Desde entonces ha estado desarrollando modelos de adaptación de herramientas digitales al uso en áreas no solo matemáticas y acústico/musicales, sino también en economía, cibernética, inteligencia artificial, neurociencia teórica y teoría de la información. Las inscripciones estarán abiertas hasta el día viernes 3 de abril. saludos cordiales, Diego Correa T.

Hack Yer iPod! in Liverpool, March 12th thru 17th
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hey, come join me in Liverpool at FACT and hack your iPod! It starts tomorrow, its pretty last minute, we have dates, but the times aren't ironed out yet. Where: http://fact.co.uk/ in Liverpool, England When: March 12th thru 17th (check the website for times) Have an iPod you want to repurpose into a hackable music machine? Install iPodLinux and make music with Pd! Want to play Doom on your iPod Video? Come install Rockbox! Did your trusty iPod’s battery finally die, or disk give in? Come and break open your iPod, either the software, the hardware or both. Give it new life and new purpose. Also, we have on hand our stash of old iPods for harvesting parts, and the newfound skills for frankensteining dead iPods into living ones. Join Hans-Christoph Steiner and Chris “the Widget” DiMauro with your own iPod, or try your hand to see if you can create a living one from our pile. This workshop is a place to get exposed to the possibilities. We’ve been hacking on some iPods to see what’s possible. Lots of this software is kind of raw, but you can do lots of fun stuff now. We are just getting started, we are having fun exploring the options. Now we want to help you do the same. Check out our web page to see if your devices are supported: http://dev.eyebeam.org/projects/reware/wiki/FactWorkshop .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access to computers should be unlimited and total. - the hacker ethic
