ANN: New stable releases of Pd-L2Ork, WebPdL2Ork, and L2Ork Tweeter
by Bukvic, Ivica 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Dear all, Pleased to announce a new stable release of Pd-L2Ork that comes with a long list of updates, bug-fixes, improvements, new features, and optimizations, including integrating all objects introduced in vanilla between versions 0.48 and 0.54 (with the exception of the list box that will be added in the coming weeks; FWIW Pd-L2Ork already has the dropdown object that serves this purpose), and a major overhaul of the L2Ork Tweeter platform. WebPdL2Ork has been also updated and further optimized. Head to https://bit.ly/pd-l2ork to download latest release for all major platforms, including RPi's aarch64, and Linux flatpak. To explore WebPdL2Ork, visit the following blog post https://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/pd-l2ork-invades-the-web/ Best, Ico -- Ivica Ico Bukvic, D.M.A. Director, Creativity + Innovation Director, Human-Centered Design iPhD Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology Virginia Tech Creative Technologies in Music School of Performing Arts – 0141 Blacksburg, VA 24061 (540) 231-6139 ico(a)vt.edu ci.icat.vt.edu l2ork.icat.vt.edu ico.bukvic.net

ELSE 1.0 RC12 with Live Electronics Tutorial Released
by Alexandre 24 Sep '24

24 Sep '24

Hi, it's been a while, here we go: -------------------------------------- RELEASE NOTES: -------------------------------------- Hi, it's been almost 8 months without an update and I never took this long!!! So there's a lot of new stuff to cover, because it's not like I've been just sleeping around ;) The reason for the delay is that I'm trying to pair up with the release cycles of PlugData and we're having trouble syncing up. PlugData 0.9.0 came out recently after a delay of 6 months and we couldn't really sync and pair up then... we had no luck in syncing for a new update now, so now I'm just releasing it up cause enough is enough, and hopefully in the next plugdata release we can sync and offer the same version. As usual, the development pace is always quite busy and I'm just arbitrarily wrapping things up in the middle of adding more and more things that will just have to wait. First, I had promised support for double precision. I made changes so we can build for it, but it's not really working yet when I uploaded to deken and tested it. So, next time? *And now for the biggest announcement:* - I'm finally and officially releasing a new pack as a submodule, which is a set of abstractions inspired by EuroRack Modules, so I'm thinking of VCV like things but into the Pd paradigm. Some similar stuff has been made for Pd over the years, most notably and famously "Automatonism", but I'm really proud of what I'm offering. I'm not trying to pretend Pd is a modular rack and I'm taking advantage of being in Pd. I'm naming this submodule "Modular EuroRacks Dancing Along" (💩 M.E.R.D.A 💩) and I've been working on it for a year and a half now (amongst many other things I do). PlugData has been offering this for a while now, by the way. Not really fully in sync though. MERDA modules are polyphonic, thanks to multichannel connections introduced in Pd 0.54! There are 20 modules so far and some are quite high level. I'm offering a PLAITS module based on the Mutable Instruments version. I have a 6-Op Phase Modulation module. A "Gendyn" module which is pretty cool. I'm also including an "extra" module that is not really quite a modular thing at all but fits well called "brane", which was a vanilla patch I first wrote like 15 years ago and is a cool granular live sampler and harmonizer. You'll also find the basics, like oscillators, filters, ADSR envelope and stuff I'm still working on. Lastly, a cool thing is that it has a nice presets system that still needs more work but is doing the job so far. There are ideas and plans to add hundreds more MERDA modules, let's see when and if I can. People can collaborate and help me and create modules that follow the template by the way ;) Thanks to Tim Schoen, [play.file~] is now a compiled object instead of an abstraction and it supports MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIF, AAC, OGG & OPUS audio file extensions. A new [sfload] object can import these files into arrays (but still needs lots of more work). There are many other player objects in ELSE that can load and play samples but these don't yet support these new formats (hang in there for the next version update). Tim also worked on new [pdlink] and [pdlink~] objects, which send control and signal data to/from Pd instances, versions and even forks of Pure Data (it's like [send]/[receive] and [send~]/[receive~], all you need is a symbol, no complicated network or OSC configuration!). And yes, it works via UDP between different computers on the same network. And hell yeah, [pdlink~] has multichannel connections support! By the way, you can also communicate to a [pd~] subprocess. This will be part of ELSE and PlugData of course, and will allow easy communication between PlugData and Pd-Vanilla for instance. The great pd-lib-build system has been replaced for a 'cmake' build process called 'pd.build' by Pierre Guillot. This was supposed to simplify things. Also, the [sfont~] object was a nightmare to build and with several dependencies that was simply hell to manage, now we have a new and much simpler system and NO DEPENDENCIES AT ALL!!! Some very rare file formats with obscure and seldom sound file extensions may not work though... (and I don't care, most and the 'sane' ones will work). The object now also dumps all preset information with a new message and backwards compatibility broke a bit :( I'm now back to offering a modified version of [pdlua] as part of ELSE, which has recently seen major upgrades by Tim to support graphics and signals! This is currently needed in ELSE to provide a new version of [circle] that needed to be rewritten in lua so it'd look the same in PlugData. Ideally I'd hope I could only offer compiled GUI objects, but... things are not ideal :) The lua loader works by just loading the ELSE library, no need for anything "else". I'm not providing the actual [pdlua] and [pdluax] objects as they are not necessary, and this is basically the only modification. Since PlugData provides support for externals in lua, if you load ELSE you can make use of stuff made for PlugData with lua without the need to install [pdlua] in Pd-Vanilla. For next, we're working on a [lua] object that will allow inline scripting and will also work for audio signals (again, wait for the next version)! Also for the next version, I'm saving Ben Wesch's nice 3d oscilloscope made in lua (it'll be called [scope3d~]). There's a lot going on with the lua development, which is very exciting. As for more actual new objects I'm including, we have [vcf2~] and [damp.osc~]. The first is a complex one pole resonant filter that provides a damping oscillation for a ringing time you can set, the next is an oscillator based on it. There's also the new [velvet~] object, a cool and multichannel velvet noise generator that you can also adjust to morph into white noise. I wasn't able to add multichannel capabilities to many existing objects in ELSE in this one, just a couple of them ([cosine~] and [pimp~]). Total number of objects that are multichannel aware now are: 92! This is almost a third of the number of audio objects in ELSE. I think that a bit over half might be a reasonably desired target. More multichannel support for existing objects to come in the next releases. *Total number of objects in the ELSE library is now 551! * As for the Live Electronics tutorial, as usual, there are new examples for new objects, and I made a good revision of the advanced filter section, where I added many examples to better explain how [slop~] works, with equivalent [fexpr~] implementations. *Total number of examples in the Live Electronics Tutorial is now 528!* There are more details of course, and breaking changes as usual, but these are the highlights! For a full changelog, check https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v.1.0-rc12 (or below at this email). As mentioned, unfortunately, ELSE RC12 is not yet fully merged, paired up and 100% synced in PlugData. PlugData is now at version 0.9.1, reaching the 1.0 version soon. Since ELSE is currently so tightly synced to the development of PlugData, the idea is to finally offer a final 1.0 version of ELSE when PlugData 1.0 is out. Hence, it's getting closer than ever :) Hopefully we will have a 100% synced ELSE/PlugData release when 0.9.2 is out (with a RC 13 maybe?). Please support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/porres You can follow me on instagram as well if you like... I'm always posting Pd development stuff over there https://www.instagram.com/alexandre.torres.porres/ cheers ps. Binaries for mac/linux/windows are available via deken. I needed help for raspberry pi -------------------------------------- CHANGELOG: -------------------------------------- **LIBRARY:** Breaking changes: - [oscope~] renamed to [scope~] - [plaits~] changed inlet order of modulation inputs and some method/flags name. If a MIDI pitch of 0 or less input is given, it becomes a '0hz'. - [gbman~] changed signal output range, it is now filtered to remove DC and rescaled to a sane -1 to 1 audio range. - [dust~] and [dust2~] go now up to the sample rate and become white noise (removed restriction that forced actual impulses, that is, no conscutive non zero values) - [cmul~] object removed (this was only used in the old conv~ abstraction to try and reduce a bit the terrible CPU load) - [findfile] object removed (use vanilla's [file which] now that it has been updated in Pd 0.55-0) - [voices] swapped retrig modes 0 and 1, 'voices' renamed to 'n', now it always changes voice number by default as in [poly] (this was already happening unintentionally as a bug when one voice was already taken). The 'split' mode was removed (just use [route], will you?) - [voices~] was also affected by changes in [voices] of course, such as 'voices' message being renamed to 'n'. - [sr~]/[nyquist] changed output loading time to 'init' bang - [sample~] object was significantly redesigned and lots of stuff changed, new messages and flags, added support for 64-bit audio files (Pd 0.55 in double precision and ELSE compiled for 64 bits is required for this). Info outlet now also outputs values for lenght in ms and bit depth. - [sfont~] uses now a simpler build system and this might not load very very rare and unusual sound formats. Enhancements/fixes/other changes: - builds for double precision is now supposedly supported, by the way, the build system was changed from pd-lib-builder to pd.build by Pierre Guillot. - [play.file~] is now a compiled object instead of an abstraction thanks to Tim Schoen, and it supports MP3, FLAC, WAV, AIF, AAC, OGG & OPUS file extensions. - Support for double precision compilation was improved and should be working for all objects (not yet providing binaries and fully tested yet by the way). - The ELSE binary now loads a modified version of [pdlua], but no [pdlua] and [pdluax] objects are provided. - added signal to 2nd inlet of [rm~]. - fixed 'glide' message for [mono~]. - fixed [voices] consistency check bug in rightmost outlet and other minor bugs, added flags for 'n', 'steal' and offset. - [gain~] and [gain2~] changed learn/forget shortcut - [knob] fixed sending messages to 'empty' when it shouldn't, ignore nan/inf, prevent a tcl/tk error if lower and upper values are the same; added "learn/forget" messages and shortcut for a midi learn mechanism. - [mpe.in] now outputs port number and you can select which port to listen to. - Other MIDI in objects now deal with port number encoded to channel as native Pd objects. Objects affected are [midi.learn], [midi.in], [note.in], [ctl.in], [bend.in], [pgm.in], [touch.in] and [ptouch.in]. - [pi]/[e] now takes a value name argument. - [sr~]/[nyquist~] take clicks now and a value name argument. - fixed phase modulation issues with [impulse~] and [pimp~]. - [cosine~] fixed sync input. - added multichannel features to [cosine~] and [pimp~]. - [plaits~] added a new 'transp' message and a functionality to allow MIDI input to supersede signal connections (needed for the 'merda' version [see below]), fixed MIDI velocity. - [pluck~] added a new functionality to allow MIDI input to supersede signal connections (needed for the 'merda' version [see below]). - 26 new objects, [velvet~], [vcf2~], [damp.osc~], [sfload], [pdlink] and [pdlink~], plus abstractions from a newly included submodule called "Modular Euro Racks Dancing Along" (M.E.R.D.A)! Warning, this is all just very very experimental still, the object are: [adsr.m~], [brane.m~], [chorus.m~], [delay.m~], [drive.m~], [flanger.m~], [gendyn.m~], [lfo.m~], [phaser.m~], [plaits.m~], [plate.rev.m~], [pluck.m~], [pm6.m~], [presets.m], [rm.m~], [seq8.m~], [sig.m~], [vca.m~], [vcf.m~] and [vco.m~] (6 of these are multichannel aware). Objects count: total of 551 (307 signal objects [92 of which are MC aware] and 244 control objects)! - 311 coded objects (203 signal objects / 108 control objects - 240 abstractions (104 signal objects / 136 control objects) -------------------------------------- **TUTORIAL:** - New examples and revisions to add the new objects, features and breaking changes in ELSE. - Added a couple of examples for network communication via FUDI and [pdlink]/[pdlink~] - Section 36-Filters(Advanced) revised, added more examples and details on how [slop~] works. - Total number of examples is now 528! --------------------------------------

cyclone 0.9-0 is out
by Alexandre Torres Porres 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hi, I'm releasing an update to Cyclone, see https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_0.9-0 for reference and changelog I am now better integrating the documentation within PlugData and Vanilla, showing relative objects in Pd Vanilla and ELSE. I also deprecated more silly objects (some were also deprecated in 0.8-0). Also, bugfixes and improvements and an important thing is support for double precision. I uploaded macOS versions, for both single and double precision. I'm waiting for Roman's help for Linux binaries (single and double) I have also uploaded to deken raspberry pi versions, only single precision I was able to compile a windows version for single precision and also uploaded that, but I'm also in need of help to compile this for windows in double precision, anyone? cheers

pdlua 0.12.4 on deken
by Benjamin Wesch 19 Aug '24

19 Aug '24

hi list, there's a new pdlua release on deken now, which - besides other stuff - adds support for signal rate processing and graphics routines! please note that i'm just the messenger (and uploader) here and will simply quote albert's message for the 0.12.0 major release on https://github.com/agraef/pd-lua/releases: Special thanks are due to Timothy Schoen who contributed the bulk of this release. His new graphics routines let you use a Lua object as a graphical canvas on which you can draw graphical shapes such as ellipses, rectangles, paths, Bezier paths, and text. It also supports animations and mouse interaction. Please check the graphics subpatch in the main pdlua-help patch for details. Tim also added signal inlet/outlet support and real-time signal processing (see examples/sig-example), and the possibility to store creation arguments in a Lua object (see examples/gui-example). happy patching (and scripting), ben

"Speculative Sound Synthesis" Workshop @ impuls Academy 2025 - Call for Participation
by David Pirrò 12 Aug '24

12 Aug '24

"Speculative Sound Synthesis" workshop at the impuls Academy 2025 in Graz, Austria from February 17-23, 2025. https://www.impuls.cc/academy-2025/special-programs [please distribute] The "Speculative Sound Synthesis" workshop is intended for sound artists, computer music composers, and performers who are committed to critical, speculative approaches at the intersection of art and technology. It is conceived for those engaged in practices that question, challenge, criticize, deconstruct, recompose, reformulate, shift, dislocate, endanger, or reject established standards of sound synthesis and (music) technology. The workshop is part of the artistic research project "Speculative Sound Synthesis"[1]. The project aims to recompose the relationship between technology and artistic practice in an attempt to unleash aesthetic potentials of sound synthesis that would otherwise remain hidden within the technological apparatus. In this aesthetic destabilization of sound technologies, speculation is the primary method. Participants are invited to bring a small "Speculative Synth" - an instrument, software, hardware, code, or idea that is translatable and open to external signals. The workshop will involve presentations, collaborative experimentation, and exploration of each Speculative Synth (applicants may find examples on the project's webpage[1]). Thus, the workshop provides a platform for exchange and reflection on personal approaches. Two participation options are available: - Group A: Active participants presenting work and experimenting (daily 10:00-18:00) - Group B: Listening participants attending sessions as observers The workshop will take place at the Institute for Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz (KUG), utilizing their multi-channel sound system and technical infrastructure. It will culminate in a public exhibition/performance at the Impuls Festival. To apply, please register to the impuls Academy 2025 and then submit the following to office(a)impuls.cc and speculative(a)iem.at by October 1, 2024: - Statement of interest in the workshop - For Group A applicants: Description of your work, letter of intent (max 500 words), and description of your Speculative Synth (max 500 words) For the complete call text and further information on the application and registration modalities, please visit the website of the impuls Academy 2025[2]. The "Speculative Sound Synthesis" project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within the program for Arts-based research PEEK (AR 713-G). Best regards, The Speculative Sound Synthesis Team [1] https://speculative.iem.at/ [2] https://www.impuls.cc/academy-2025/special-programs

Pd-lists now running on mailman3
by IEM Network Operation Center (IOhannes m zmölnig) 08 Aug '24

08 Aug '24

Hi all, as mentioned previously on pd-list, I have updated our mailinglist server to mailman3. in general, things should be faster and more shiny now. besides we are now running a software, that is actually supported by their developers :-) visible changes are: # webinterface - a brand new web interface (that is also useable on mobile phones) - threaded views on the archive pages (not just the subjects, but the entire email threads) - using the mailinglist from the webinterface (you can "Reply" directly in the webinterface to a given thread - provided you are logged in) if you are not logged in, you can of course still "Reply" via your mail program) # archives the old archives have been imported into the new system (with the notable exception of the pd-cvs archive; but the pd-cvs list has not seen any activity for the last 5 years), but the old links are still intact (and now redirect to the new interface). # account management account management is now user-centric: you can register multiple emails for a single account, and assign which mailinglist should send to which of your emails. this means that now there's only a single password to remember for all the mailinglists. # mails mails from the list now include a permalink to the archive. which makes it easy to reference an entire conversation via an URL with somebody else (and without having to search the archives first). of course there are a few things you might find slightly disruptive: - i *think* that all accounts for the mailinglists have been deleted. that is: your passwords probably won't work anymore. if you need to change your settings, just use the "Password reset" tool, to get fresh credentials. - the new archive no longer provides a single mbox download for the entire archive (sorry p8ter, but i think you were the only one using this). the links to the old full mbox download still works, but is no longer updated. up-to-date monthly mbox files are still available in the new interface (though they now have stripped away a lot of email headers, so they are less interesting for finding out from which host your email was sent in the late nineties) i think that's about it. if you notice any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me. if you like it, cheer along! happy patching, vfdmsar IOhannes
