AoO (audio over OSC) v2.0-pre2
by Christof Ressi 22 Jun '20

22 Jun '20

Dear list, here's a new pre-release for the AoO multichannel audio streaming library. In the last two months, the library has been seen many improvements and has been used successfully in our Virtual Rehearsal Room project (see vrr.iem.at <https://vrr.iem.at/>). Binaries for all common platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, ARM boards) are available on Deken (search for "aoo"). The source code can be found here: https://git.iem.at/cm/aoo See the help patches (aoo_send~-help.pd, aoo_receive~-help.pd, aoo_server.pd) for usage instructions. If you want to stream between different home networks (without port forwarding), you can use [aoo_client] and connect to our public AoO server at the IEM (hostname: vrr.iem.at, port: 7077). You can easily set up your own AoO server by running a Pd patch containing [aoo_server <port>] on your web server. --- Selected features: # create audio networks of any topology with arbitrary ad-hoc connections # [aoo_send~] / [aoo_receive~] take a port number and ID, so multiple objects (within a single Pd instance) can operate on the same port. Additionally, you can have multiple objects across different Pd instances (using different port numbers). # [aoo_send~] can stream to several destinations simultaneously; # [aoo_receive~] can receive several AoO streams simultaneously, summing the signals # AoO is connectionless: streams can start/stop at any time, enabling a "message-based audio" approach. # AoO sinks can "invite" sources, i.e. ask them to send audio. The source may follow the invitation or decline it. # AoO sinks and sources can operate at different blocksizes and samplerates # the streaming format can be set independently for each source; currently only PCM (uncompressed) and Opus (compressed) are implemented, but this can be easily extended with the AoO codec plugin API. # audio encoding/decoding is multithreaded # adjustable resending mechanism for dropped packets # adjustable jitter buffer size. # [aoo_server] / [aoo_client] implement the UDP hole punching technique to establish peer2peer connections between different home networks. # AoO is actually a C++ library with a C interface, so it can be used in apps or embedded devices (like the ESP32). An implementation for Supercollider is already planned. --- For questions, bug reports or feature requests, please open an issue at https://git.iem.at/cm/aoo/-/issues. We're very happy about any kind of feedback! Christof

Cyclone 0.5-0 released (need Pd 0.51-0)
by Alexandre Torres Porres 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

*Cyclone 0.5-0 is out now, june 10th (at least in parts of Europe it's already 10th!)* Cyclone 0.5-0 needs at least Pd 0.51-0, details on installing cyclone, news and downloads at https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_0.5-0 You can also download it directly from Pd via menu "Help => Find Externals". The only binary still missing is raspberry pi, give it a day or so until it's up in the repository and in deken... The most important thing in this release is that [comment], the last object still waiting for updates, has received its deserved attention and now has many new functionalities from newer versions of Max. It is still not fully compliant to Max6+ versions, but it had been warned that this object would be an exception when upgrading to Max7. All it misses though is some silly but fancy looking "bubble" style, and I hope people won't mind. On the other hand, we got now 'fontface', 'underline', 'bgcolor' and 'textjustification'. t now also correctly loads font names with spaces. There are still more things to be done to this object, but in theory and practice *that goal we set back in february 2016 (4 years and 4 months ago) to update objects in cyclone to Max 7 is finally completed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* Cyclone's development has slowed a lot, but it's still alive, there are plans to eventually include a few new things from Max 8 that affects some of the cyclone objects. Some more has been done as well for this cyclone 0.5 release, like zooming for scope~ and comment. When created as an object, the cyclone binary now outputs the version so you can make sure your patches have the right version of cyclone. One other important thing is that now we're supporting back the aliases for Upper Case letters in order to be able to load older patches. We had a problem in 0.3 where symlinks for Linux weren't working and decided to drop it for 0.4, now this is fixed and it's back! See all details below. Full Changelog: - Re-added support for capital letters aliases - this is for backwards compatibility and now the objects print an error telling the user to change to the new name. The affected objects are: cyclone/append (*); bucket; cyclone/clip (*); decode; histo; mousestate; peak; cyclone/table (*); togedge; trough; uzi; cyclone/clip~ (*); cyclone/line~ (*); scope~; cyclone/snapshot~ (*) (*) these classes need the 'cyclone/' prefix to avoid name clashes with vanilla internals - see help file for more information. - When loaded as an object, the 'cyclone' library now also outputs the version number. You can use this to make sure your patch has the right version. - Fixed some type formats for [sprintf] and updated the documentation. - Fixed a bug with [zl delace] in windows where the 2nd outlet wasn't working - Fixed a bug in [active] where right click would deactivate in linux - Added a few new message methods/attributes to [number~], thanks to the new inlet~ 'fwd' feature from Pd 0.51 (namely bang, list, set, ft1, interval, minimum, maximum, bgcolor, textcolor). - [scope~]: - Added zoom support and now the patch properly asks if you want to save changes when parameters change. - Fixed a regression bug in scope~ where it wouldn't draw if loaded in a patch with DSP on - [comment]: - Added zoom support and now the patch properly asks if you want to save changes when parameters change. - Visual change where it now shows its inlet while in edit mode (like it happens in Max) - Fixed a bug in [comment] where it couldn't load font names that had spaces (such as "DejaVu Sans Mono") and made the default font "DejaVu Sans Mono" like in Pd. But this only works well in Pd 0.51-0 or later! Note that although Pd ships with Deja Vu Sans Mono, it still doesn't offer italic and italic+bold variants. With this change all cyclone documentation has been revised to only contain DejaVu Sans Mono fonts in all cyclone/comment objects. This fixes an issue where it would load different fonts in different systems if it didn't have the actual same font installed. - Updated [comment] to add missing Max 5 parameters (added 'fontface', 'underline' and 'bgcolor' methods/attributes, plus an extra 'bg' method/attribute to suppress background) - Also added 'textjustification' from Max6.

ELSE & Live Electronics Tutorial version 1.0-0 beta-28
by Alexandre Torres Porres 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

*ELSE 1.0-0 beta-28 has been released on june 8th, 2020! * Now the library comes with a compatible and up to date version of my Live Electronics tutorial that relies on the same version of the ELSE library. Finally these two intertwined projects are being merged into a single pack. Find downloads here, where you can also all previous versions of the library https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v1.0-0-beta-28 The release is also finally available via deken and the downloads have been tested. Now you'll see a "*else_and_live_electronics_tutorial*" single download. After downloading it, you'll find two separate folders, the ' *else*' folder with the ELSE library and a "*live-electronics-tutorial*" folder with examples that rely on the ELSE library. The tutorial needs the ELSE library anyway, so it makes sense to get it with the library, but you may only want the ELSE library and not the tutorial for some reason, just delete it then, sorry. If that's annoying or you have other suggestions, any feedback on this new standard is welcome! Let me know how you feel about this. Release notes: *The library and the tutorial need at least Pd Vanilla version 0.51-0 or above!* - Tutorial: The update of the Live Electronics Tutorial includes a big revision, fixing many untranslated from portuguese bits, typos and other bug fixes and minor improvements. It also has changes to comply with the latest updates of ELSE. Lastly, it was also updated to mention new functionalities from Pd 0.51-0, like the new inlet~ functionality that can forward control messages. The tutorial now has the same version of the ELSE library, so it jumped from beta 17 to beta 28. - Library: The ELSE library now has 371 objects (228 signal and 143 control objects)! The way to load the library has changed, you need to use [declare -lib] now! You can still use -path, but the official way to load it now is as a library (or also via Startup). A new [else] object outputs the library version, and you can use it to make sure your patches have the right version of ELSE. There's a huge break of compatibility in this version that I've been giving a heads up already in the last two releases. The new version of Pd has a new functionality for the inlet~ object that can forward control messages. Hence, I removed the right inlet of many abstractions that were there just to get control messages, This affects 29 objects! The new ability of the inlet~ to also receive default values also improves the functionality of 11 objects! Other improvements I wish to highlight are many updates and fixes to the [keyboard] and the [pic] object. For a full changelog, see below... -------------------------------------- ELSE 1.0-0 beta 28 CHANGELOG: -------------------------------------- *Breaking changes: *- With the new feature of inlet~ where it can take control messages (as of Pd 0.51), several objects had their inlet messages changed. 29 objects affected: [bin.shift~], [bpbank], [compress~], [conv~], [drunkard~], [duck~], [free.rev~], [freeze~], [gain~], [gain2~], [graph~], [mix2~], [mix4~], [mono.rev~], [oscbank~], [out~], [out1~], [out4~], [out8~], [phaser~], [plate.rev~], [pvoc.freeze~], [pvoc.live~], [resonbank~], [resonbank2~], [spectrograph~], [stereo.rev~], [stretch.shift~] & [vocoder~] - [savechange] object deleted (using something based on [canvas.setname] for what that other object did now). *Improvements/fixes: *- The ELSE library now is accompanied by the Live Electronics Tutorial by Alexandre Torres Porres as a single download combo. - The ELSE library now should be loaded as a binary pack because of a new "else" binary. This allows the ELSE library to be loaded as a regular lib, via Startup, or using [declare -lib else]. The binary can also be loaded as an object, which outputs version and information about the library. - With the new feature of inlet~ where it can take arguments, several objects got improvements. 11 objects affected: [allpass.filt~], [bl.imp~], [bl.imp2~], [bl.saw~], [bl.saw2~], [bl.sine~], [bl.square~], [bl.tri~], [bl.vsaw~], [bl.wavetable~] & [crusher~]. - [keyboard]: many improvements to the code (basically a rewrite from scratch). Implemented zooming. Finally implemented the toggle mode and added a flush message. Improved/fixed the way it was detecting the click on the right keys. Fixed clicking in Graph on Parent. Now the object asks you if you want to save changes after changing parameters from messages, plus other minor fixes. - [slider2d] and [cricle] are now usable in an abstraction or GOP subpatch, but only as deep as only one layer of encapsulation. - [avg]: fixed "clear" message. - [nyquist~]: wasn't creating in linux. - [graph~]: added an outlet for the input signal come out to. - [dir]: fixed a bug where it printed an annoying error on windows. - [canvas.vis]: fixed bug when it didn't report it being invisible when the window was closed, added an inlet to query for visibility with a bang. - [pic]: added "set" and "size" methods - included an example on how to use [canvas.zoom] for emulating a zoom. - fixed peak estimation for [peak~], [vu~], [meter~], [meter2~], [meter4~] and [meter8~]. - Now [spectrograph~], [graph~], [range.hsl], [drum.seq], [mtx.ctl] and [button] will properly ask if you want to save changes on parent patch. - 6 new objects for a total of 371: [else], [canvas.bounds], [canvas.pos], [canvas.gop], [canvas.zoom] & [canvas.setname].

3dPdModular crowdfunding campaign
by Alexandros 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Sorry for cross-posting, I'd like to share with you a crowdfunding campaign I have started for the 3dPdModular system. Some of you already know it (was: 3dPd), many don't. It's a hardware modular synthesizer system running on a single Raspberry Pi, programmed in Pd. It looks much like an analog modular synthesizer, but offers a variety of features not present in analog systems, such as cross-fading between patches, module cloning, saving patches on a phone app, and more. The campaign will run for a month. You can find it here https://gogetfunding.com/3dpdmodular/. The synth's website is this https://3dpdmodular.cc/. Please share with anyone interested.
