Hypo Chrysos, action art for vexed body and biophysical media
by Marco Donnarumma 29 Mar '12

29 Mar '12

Hello folks, I finally managed to put on-line the video of the second, new performance work based on the Xth Sense. This work tries to investigate a very different field of interaction, if compared to my previous piece Music for Flesh II. Octophonic visceral sound, sensing video and 2 concrete blocks of 15kg each. http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/hypo-chrysos/ Feedback, critics and suggestions are more than welcome! and thanks Cyrille for the awesome pmpd workshop at the PdCon 2011 and shader tips! thanks, best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma New Media + Sonic Arts Practitioner, Performer, Teacher, Director.

I don't know if I understood all the consequences of what you wrote. Did you say to let templates with the same name "repeat" themselves, to allow for a better patching? Isn't it good for now that repeated templates do get marked as bad programming, to avoid conflicts where they aren't supposed to be? If all name conflicts are ignored, some more interesting patching can be done. If name conflicts remain, patching errors will be easier to detect. Is there a good solution? Or I was misreading the whole problem? Besides being interesting to add messages to data-s, it would also be very productive if some easy operations could be done, that nowadays can only be achieved through more intense patching around the data-s objects: choose a particular scalar on a canvas by its index number like in an array (or without having to detect it's values to see if it's the right one), [previous X( message for [pointer], etc etc. I've sent once such a list to Mr. Puckette, I think I still have it around. This would make data structures patching less time consuming, and maybe also more approachable to newcomers. When I did my data structures workshop last Pd-Con in Weimar everyone was very happy to understand it, but also not very happy that to make a more complex circuit many operations are necessary. I mean, if [tabread] would only take bangs instead of indexes (which is the case with [struct]), how many people would be taking the trouble to use it? Another related question: I was looking at the ftm library, and it is quite complete, not only for data management, but also for expressions using data's variables with direct access, and also audio objects. In the beginning the difference bweteen Pd and Max was that Pd had the "unique" (although rudimentary) data structures (as said in Puckette's Paper), but with ftm there isn't any exclusivity anymore. Since ftm seems to be a much more mature concept - both in terms of features, and integration with other dimensions of the environment -, would it make sense to make a Pd port of ftm? Or maybe, even continue to develop ftm for Pd instead of the current data structures? Afaik, IOhannes has done some work porting the ftm lib to Pd, but the work with the gui is missing. Does it make more sense to try to reinvent a wheel someone already did, or just get that wheel and make it better? Also afaik, ftm isn't developing much anymore (I might be wrong). http://ftm.ircam.fr/index.php/Main_Page (including sourceforge link) JoÃ£o

Pd 0.43-2 released (windows startup bug fix)
by Miller Puckette 25 Mar '12

25 Mar '12

Hi all - Only Microsoft Windows users should care... but 0.43-2 is now finalized (essentialy the same as the "test1" version), which fixes the missing TK library problem on Microsoft Windows. I think things are reasonably stable now and I can turn to some long-put-off projects. Foremost is a unification of message boxes with "textfile" functionality, and making a matching "message" type fr data structures (which will join "float", "symbol" and "array".) Also, the pd~ object needs some more work, MIDI input is still buggy on Microsoft, and many small problems still need fixing. cheers Miller

Pduino 0.5 maintenance release
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

Pduino 0.5 is finally released after being stuck at 0.5beta8 for a long time. This is a maintenance release, it will be my last release of Pduino for the foreseeable future. Roman Haefeli and Olsen Wolf are working on new developments for Firmata for Pd, so follow their work. http://puredata.info/downloads/pduino/ Most recent changes are: - use [comport] rather than [flatspace/comport] to work on Pd-extended 0.41, 0.42, and 0.43 - fix bug in tracking state of digital inputs, there was only one 8 pin object to track the state for all 8 ports of 8 pins (64 total digital inputs possible). .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can't steal a gift.
