cyclone 0.8-1 is out
by Alexandre Torres Porres 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

Hi, today, february 21st 224 (ok, it's past midnight where I live but I haven't gone to bed yet and it's still 21st somewhere on planet Earth) is the 8th year anniversary of Cyclone repository! So... I'm releasing a small update (cyclone 0.8-1) as a celebration. Thanks to IOhannes' report, a few bugs in [zl] were fixed by Tim Schoen, who also fixed a bug in phaseshift~ and did a ver nice thing which is allowing [zl] to also be created as [zl.len] and so on. We wanted to do that when we took over, but we were lazy and had other more important things. I'm really glad to see [zl] finally fully ported. Slow but steady, Cyclone lives... I also fixed a bug in [rand~] and improved [decide] just so I could say I did something. It's up in deken for the 3 main OSes, Mac/Linux/Windows. I'm still unsure which raspberry pi versions I have to upload and will ask the list and deal with it later Cheers

Doctoral student position in sound and music computing at KTH, Stockholm, Sweden Project description The project “Non-verbal communication of invisible information: New methods for communicating complex and inaccessible information through sound”, funded by the Swedish Research Council, is looking for a PhD candidate. The purpose of this project is to raise awareness and enhance understanding of the invisible digital world surrounding users of any digital device/application, especially those making use of large amounts of data. The main aim is to establish new methods for enabling the communication of complex and inaccessible information leveraging on sound as the primary communication channel. The research mainly belongs to the fields of code analysis, data sonification, interactive sonification, multisensory perception, sound design, and non-verbal communication. The project has an interdisciplinary approach at the intersection of computer science, sound design and the arts. The doctoral student will work at both KTH Royal Institute of Technology and KMH Royal College of Music with access to their facilities and technology. The candidate will also be part of the KTH NAVET Centre for Research in Art, Technology and Design (http://kth.se/navet)<https://www.kth.se/navet>.

(sorry for cross-posting / please distribute) The IEM – Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics – in Graz, Austria is happy to announce its call for its 2024 residency program. Artistic Research Residency The residency is aimed at individuals wishing to pursue an artistic research project in close collaboration with an IEM staff member and related to the research fields of the IEM: * Algorithmic Composition * Algorithmic Experimentation * Audio-Visuality * Dynamical Systems * Experimental Game Design * Live Coding * Sonic Interaction Design * Spatialization/higher-order Ambisonics * Standard and non-standard Sound Synthesis Duration of residency: 4 months Start date: September 1st 2024 (negotiable) APPLICATION DEADLINE: March 31th 2024 Please reply to the official call by KUG for an University Assistant: https://go.iem.at/residency24 (in German and English) The Institute: The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics is a department of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz founded in 1965. It is a leading institution in its field, with more than 35 staff members of researchers and artists. IEM offers education to students in composition and computer music, sound engineering, sound design, contemporary music performance, and musicology. It is well connected to the University of Technology, the University of Graz as well as to the University of Applied Sciences Joanneum through three joint study programs.

[mtx_sndfileread] requires macOS 11 "Big Sur". if you do not need these specialized objects, then "El Capitan" will do nicely. independent of iemmatrix, we strongly suggest that you use an up-to-date operating system for the safety of yourself and others.

ELSE 1.0-RC11 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out.
by Alexandre Torres Porres 07 Feb '24

07 Feb '24

Happy 2024! ELSE 1.0-RC11 with Live Electronics Tutorial is out. Get it in deken, if something is funny, please tell me (waiting for raspberry pi binaries from a helping soul). Objects count is now 527, total number of examples in the tutorial is now 515! The library has 285 signal objects so far, and I just reached the mark of 200 coded/compiled signal objects (the rest are abstractions, of course)! This 1st update of the year is quite packed, but even so I'm just arbitrarily drawing a line because of the end of my latest course. I didn't finish one big thing I've been working on which is revising and dealing with multichannel awareness for 'routing' objects (panning, fading, rotation, selection, matrix and stuff). I first dealt with most easy and fast multichannel objects but this group of objects is what I'm most excited about regarding multichannel connections. I had started with them before, I worked extensively on them some more but I'm not yet finished with them. One cool new object is [pan~] and [pan.mc~], for circular panning with an angle input for any number of given outputs. I rewrote my [mtx~] object and now it can finally take gain values and not just on/off switches, so you can use it for routing and mixing. A cool new [mtx.mc~] object performs all this with multichannel input and output (nice). Other objects from this group worth noting are the new [xgate2.mc~] and [xselect2.mc~] objects. Also worth noting is that I am adding a 'spread' parameter in many of these objects, which control how much a sound source spreads to adjacent channels, you can use it narrow or expand. Like I said, more is to be done here and one new object I didn't include just yet is [vbap~] and [vbap.mc~] (vector based panning), hopefully next time. Total object count in ELSE now with multichannel functionalities is 82! [note2midi] and [midi2note] now have support for quarter tones. This is me flirting with the idea of 'CAC' tools, this one works quite well with Charles Neimog's python stuff that can render scores with quarter tone support. [tabwriter~] added index mode to set index to record to with a signal, like MAX's [poke~]. A new [abs.pd~] object is something I'm gonna use a lot myself. This makes it a bit more convenient to use [pd~]. I love I can just click on it and it'll open the loaded patch. This also allows you to use your connected MIDI device in the sub-process. I added some functionalities to [gendyn~]. Now it takes a center frequency and it can then work more like usual oscillators, and you can use it for poliphony. I've been having fun and it's quite cool! The [plaits~] object is finally fully functional. Added some missing modulation inputs and controllers that were needed in a couple of synthesis engines. For last, I'm finally adding wavetable scanning in my [wavetable~] oscillator! This means you can slice a wavetable into 'n' given parts and crossfade between them. A new [wt2d~] object can slice and scan in two dimensions! There's also a new section on wavetable synthesis in my Live Electronics Tutorial. Full changelog here: https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v.1.0-rc11 Short term future plan is to include in ELSE a submodule I'm working on with abstractions inspired by euroracks, some of them are already in Plugdata. Working a new polyphonic module based on [gendyn~] which is pretty cool and I'm also excited to have a poliphonic PLAITS module, really excited about this (hang in there). By the way, ELSE development is about 7 years old now, and the plan for 2024 is to finally settle with a stable final version where things don't break as much (I feel shame). The idea is to pair up with the 1.0 release of PlugData that must come out this year as well (currently in version 0.8.x).
