Cyclone 0.7-0 is out
by Alexandre Torres Porres 21 Feb '23

21 Feb '23

Celebrating the 7th anniversary of our takeover, Cyclone 0.7-0 has been released today on february 21st 2023. The main goal for 7 years has been updating cyclone to MAX 7, the major release version at the time in 2016. I thought we had taken care of all updates but we missed [mtr], an object that got updates sometime after 7.0 and ironically this is one that got too much new stuff. Amongst new messages and attributes, there are almost 30 new things, no kidding. Many of which can't even be included in cyclone because we miss some stuff like dictionary and transport. We included some of the main things and started dealing with it... we now have 'speed', 'trackspeed', 'embed' and 'loop', but the thing is that the design of this object is questionable and things don't work quite well, like 'looping'. This is a usual problem in Cyclone, implementing things as they are originally instead of how they should be if designed in a sane way... [mtr] is also a feature creep nightmare and some things will be really hard to implement, but let's see. Worst case scenario we'll stop at one point and say we couldn't make it and only reached like 99% of our goal :) I guess cannot help but pass the impression that I am not so happy and excited about keeping up with this, I am really busy with ELSE and also Vanilla stuff. We may be reaching the point where Cyclone's development of new stuff will stop and we'll keep it in maintenance mode. I am not sure we'll pursue MAX 8 updates, but maybe that can happen if nothing crazy like [mtr] happens. For now, not much really happened in MAX 8 so I don't wanna discard it yet. Let's see if we can do it when MAX 9 comes out. The thing is that cyclone contains a limited set of MAX/MSP and MAX has been adding new things all the time, which makes it a bit pointless to get a limited set of things updated to the last version. The other thing is not caring much about this anymore after 7 years :) Other things in this release is that [comment] is basically done, before realizing [mtr] updates were missing, this was the last thing that needed finishing and we also said we couldn't include all features from MAX 7 in it. This object now has also extra features just for cyclone, something that rarely happens in Cyclone. To be honest, this is now a clone of [else/note], an object that first started based on cyclone/comment. Anyway, this thing finally has a properties windows, thanks to Tim Schoen, and is now acceptable! I did some other funny thing. I expanded [pink~], which now also has extra features, it is now the same object as else/pink~, which has extra features and is backwards compatible to the old cyclone/pink~. I hope people don't mind this. Full changelog at https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_0.7-0 it should be up in deken Cheers

ICAD 2023 | 2nd Call for Contributions | 26 June - 01 July | Norrköping, Sweden
by Marian Weger 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

(Apologies for cross-postings, please distribute widely) ICAD 2023 2nd Call for Submission of Papers, Extended Abstracts, Workshops/Tutorials, and Music/Installations 28th International Conference on Auditory Display Norrköping, Sweden 26 June – 01 July 2023 https://icad2023.icad.org THEME: “SONIFICATION FOR THE MASSES” After decades of research dedicated to sonification in terms of audio signal processing, aesthetics, art and design, perception, awareness and human factors, accessibility, auditory augmentation and mixed reality, auditory displays have reached a state with tools and principles that work. It is about time for the breakthrough of sonification in terms of implementation in mass media and consumer markets: Sonification for the masses! The ICAD 2023 committee is seeking full papers, abstracts, concert pieces, demos, installations, workshops, and tutorials from across the full spectrum of auditory display research and practice. This year, we are particularly interested in use cases from everyday life, implementations in mass media, sonification evaluation by wider populations, concepts of sonification in education, learnability and pleasantness of sonifications, and other ways to tackle the theme of sonification for the general public. How informative, aesthetic, universally applicable or specified do sonifications need to be in order to be beneficial for users outside the audio community? During the student think tank, students and young researchers get the chance to exchange ideas and learn from established members of the auditory display community. As a satellite event, we are organizing the Sonic-Tilt competition, where researchers, students and artists submit their own sound design for Tiltification, a bullseye spirit level available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. SUBMIT HERE: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icad2023 SUBMISSION DEADLINES: Full Papers (6 to 8 pages) - March 1, 2023 Extended Abstracts (2 to 4 pages) - March 15 Workshops / Tutorials / Demos - March 15 Live Performances / Installations - March 15 Doctoral Consortium / Think Tank - March 15 For details on topics of interest, proposal format, submission instructions, and additional conference information, please visit https://icad2023.icad.org/cfp/ COMMITTEES: Papers: Tim Ziemer and Marian Weger – papers(a)icad2023.icad.org Extended Abstracts: Jonas Löwgren and Michael Nees – abstracts(a)icad2023.icad.org Music: Michael Iber – music(a)icad2023.icad.org Workshops & Tutorials: Emma Frid – workshops(a)icad2023.icad.org Installations & Demos: Jordan Wirfs-Brock – installations(a)icad2023.icad.org Student Think Tank: Sara Lenzi – thinktank(a)icad2023.icad.org Sonic-Tilt Competition: Tim Ziemer – sonictilt(a)icad2023.icad.org Accessibility & Webmaster: Katie Wolf – accessibility(a)icad2023.icad.org About ICAD: First held in 1992, ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, artists, and graduate students working with sound to convey and explore information. The conference is unique in its specific focus on auditory displays and the range of interdisciplinary issues related to their use. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2023 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. Niklas Rönnberg Chair of ICAD 2023 chair(a)icad2023.icad.org
