Pd 0.43-4 (bug fix for linux) released, source only
by Miller Puckette 29 Jul '12

29 Jul '12

Hi all, Pd version 0.43-4 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm or via git from sourceforge: git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data git checkout 0.43-4 This fixes a bug that only ppeared on linux so there's no compiled version for Mac or Windows; the 0.43-3 releases are still the most recent for those two. The git repo also contains preliminary work on 0.44. There are separate 0.43 and master branches; master contains the new unstable stuff. This should all work OK but will get dodgy when I start making bigger changes. cheers Miller

Dears, a cordial invitation. FILE Festival presents a concert for Biophysical Music and a workshop on the Xth Sense in Sao Paulo with Marco Donnarumma. ~~ Concert 19th July H. 20.40 Teatro SESI-SP, Av. Paulista, Sao Paulo. - Music for Flesh II - Nascent Two diverse works in which the performer's muscular fibres produces sounds that resonate the audience tympanic membrane. Biophysical music is a term I coined to define sound that is a direct result of joint biological and physical body mechanisms. http://marcodonnarumma.com/works/music-for-flesh-ii/ Readings: http://marcodonnarumma.com/texts/ ~~ Workshop 20th July H.14.30/20.30 SESI-SP, Av. Paulista, Sao Paulo - Xth Sense. Build your own biophysical open hardware, reclaim your body and let it sound. The *Xth Sense (XS)* is a biophysical musical instrument. With the sound of your muscles you can produce music, and control any software applications. The XS is free and open source, and it was named the “world’s most innovative new musical instrument” by the Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology (US, 2012). You can build your own with £10, hack it or modify it. No need of APIs and such. Just make it. http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/xth-sense/ hope some of you can make it there tonight. best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma New Media + Sonic Arts Practitioner, Performer, Teacher, Director.

Ircam (Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics and Music) offers experimental environments where composers/artists strive to expand their artistic experience at one end, and scientists aim at extending research and technological paradigms for new artistic expressions. Such interactive process is called Musical Research. For its fourth edition, Ircam and the INEDIT Project partners are inviting composers and artists to submit projects for the 2013-2014 Musical Research Residency program. The program is open to international artists, regardless of age or nationality, who wish to carry experimental research using Ircam's and partners’ facilities and extensive research environment. Submission is online only and an international panel of experts including researchers, composers, computer musicians and artists will evaluate each project. Upon nomination, each candidate will be granted a residency at Ircam during a specific period (three or six months) and in association with a team/project at Ircam. In addition, laureates receive an equivalent of 1200 Euros per month to cover expenses in France. ------------ Appel à projet 2013-2014: Résidence de Recherche Musicale Date limite de candidature: 30 Septembre 2012 Plus d'information et procédure de candidature: http://www.ircam.fr/875.html http://www.ulysses-network.eu/web/competitions/residency2012/ L’Ircam (Institut de recherche et coordination acoustique/musique) offre un environnement unique pour l’expérimentation, permettant aux compositeurs d’étendre leur expérience musicale et de repenser leur pratique à travers les concepts et idées liés aux développements des nouvelles technologies les plus récentes. Ces technologies sont le résultat des défis posés aussi bien par les impulsions artistiques que par les nouveaux domaines de recherche explorés par les équipes scientifiques. Ce processus interactif est appelé “Recherche musicale”. La quatrième édition du programme de résidences de recherche musicale est ouverte aux artistes internationaux, sans condition d’âge ou de nationalité, qui souhaitent conduire un projet de recherche musicale en bénéficiant des facilités matérielles et de la richesse de son environnement de recherché à l’Ircam et chez les partenaires.

by Graeme McCaig 07 Jul '12

07 Jul '12

============================= Musical Metacreation 2012 DEADLINE EXTENSION Submissions Now Due July 15 ============================= ((( MUME 2012 ))) 1st International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ Held at the Eighth AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'12) Stanford, Palo Alto, California, USA October 9, 2012 ----------------------------- Having received several requests, we have extended the deadline for Paper and Demo Submissions: New Deadline *** JULY 15, 2012 *** ----------------------------- Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a new possibility is emerging in our musical relationship with technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own". Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and life sciences. The workshop will bring together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in developing software and systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, complete, accompany, compose or interpret music. For complete details on topics, attendance, submissions and dates, please visit the workshop website: http://www.metacreation.net/mume2012/ =============================

pd 0.43-3 released
by Miller Puckette 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

Hi all, Pd version 0.43-3 is available on http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.htm or via git from sourceforge: git clone git://pure-data.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/pure-data/pure-data Main change from 0.43-2 is that MIDI input is improved on Mac and Windows. Also, I added a stub to future-proof Pd against a possible extension of the file format so that in the future there could be a way to set widths of boxes and stuff like that (and 0.43-3 would read those files and only complain once instead of complaining for pages.) I'm ready to start hacking on 0.44. The most urgent thing seems to be for me to go back and work on the audio system (and perhaps tweak MIDI a bit more too). The thing I'm actually looking forward to doing is to extend textfiles and message boxes and data structures to be able to spit lists of atoms around much more flexibly than now. Also pd vanilla needs tilde objects to do interpolating signal snapshots, phase-syncable oscillators, and other stuff on that level, also likely to be a lot of fun. cheers Miller

[PD][PD-annnounce] m2f_vst: midi to freq, variable semitone
by Funs Seelen 01 Jul '12

01 Jul '12

Hi list, I'm happy to present my first external named [m2f_vst]. It calculates midi note to frequency (Hz), just like [mtof], but with a variable semitone to whole tone ratio. That means it makes it possible to play in temperaments 31 (ratio 3:5) and 19 (ratio: 2:3) equal division, as well as 12 (1:2), 5 (0:1), 7 (1:1) and everything in between. To be able to use it as intended it's, except for ratio "0.5" that makes it work similar to [mtof], necessary to set a modulation index, where 0 is default (C-C#-D-Eb-E-F-F#-G-G#-A-Bb-B). Changing the value for "mod" replaces one note for another (for example G# for Ab) for every "+1" or "-1" in the circle of fifths up by increasing and down by decreasing. Documentation is provided in the manual/ folder. An example patch that plays a part of J.S. Bach's prelude of the 5th English Suite is provided in the examples/ folder. You can find it here: http://student-kmt.hku.nl/~funs/puredata/externals/m2f_vst.tar.gz Feel free to send a mail with questions or comments to funsseelen(a)gmail.comor as a reply to this message. --Funs
