Dear List,
Version 2.6 of the Click Tracker is out.
The main new features are in tempo changes: there is now a new parameter
for tc curve control, which can be easily changed in the GUI in the
score structure display. See information in
http://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/#display
And also:
- cue files can be declared as normal filenames (not necessary to number
them)
- tc and rep durations accept x:y expressions
- small improvements of score display and export
- open dialog shows text files by default (in Max-based versions)
As in the previous version, you can use in any of the following ways:
- as an android app (https://bit.ly/click-tracker-mob or
https://bit.ly/clicktracker-playstore)
- as a closed desktop app in windows (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5Win)
or apple (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5Apple)
Due to Apple's recent security settings, you'll need to allow the Pd and
other externals to run on your system.
WARNING: M1 users will need to run the program with Rosetta.
- as the traditional Pure Data patch (https://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5)
- as a Max/MSP patch in windows (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5MaxWin) or
apple (http://bit.ly/ClickTracker2-5MaxApple)
For more information, refer to the Click Tracker's website at
http://j.mp/click-tracker.
You can also visit the Click Tracker on facebook -
http://j.mp/clicktrackerfb, or check out the click track library in
http://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/index-library.
With best regards,
João Pais

Speculative Sound Synthesis - Call for works
Speculative Sound Synthesis is inviting submissions of experimental
works in the fields of computer music, electronic, music, and sound
art. We are seeking artistic works which question, challenge,
criticize, deconstruct, re-compose, re-formulate, shift, dis-place,
endanger or reject established standards in sound synthesis.
Speculative Sound Synthesis is an artistic research project by David
Pirrò, Luc Döbereiner, Ji Youn Kang and Leonie Strecker. The project
is funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF and based at the Institute
of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and
Performing Arts Graz, Austria.
The project challenges established patterns of interaction between
technology and artistic practice. While standardized processes in
computer music are analyzed, destabilized and reshaped through
speculation, the project’s central aim is to create spaces for new
aesthetic potentials in the practice of experimental music.
https://speculativesoundsynthesis.iem.sh
Applicants should send a proposal for an artistic work: i.e. an
electroacoustic or acoustic composition, an installation, a piece of
software, a live-performance, a text, or any combination thereof. The
proposed work should display aspects of artistic research by making
the scientific, philosophical, technological or artistic aspects,
choices and references explicit in whichever form the artists might
deem suitable. In order to share their work with the artistic research
community, during their working period artists will be asked to
document their working process and its results in an appropriate form.
The three selected artists will each receive a commission of €3000 for
a new work to be completed during two consecutive months in 2024
(exact dates to be discussed individually). During this time, they
will be an active part of the ongoing artistic research project
Speculative Sound Synthesis and will discuss and exchange ideas with
its team. Furthermore, they are offered the possibility to present
their work/research in a public concert or lecture at the IEM.
How to apply:
Please send us your application via email at specu...(a)iem.at including:
- a project proposal (500-1000 words)
- 2 to 3 links to examples of your work
- curriculum vitae
- availability in 2024 and preferred working period
Deadline: 31st January 2024
More information about the project can be found on our website:
https://speculativesoundsynthesis.iem.sh
For any question, please contact us via specu...(a)iem.at
We are looking forward to your application!

Howdy, a quick update I needed to make in the middle of a course and to
settle the ground for a project I'm unveiling this week in a symposium (the
first draft of my modular abstractions).
One new thing I have is a great gift from Tim Schoen, he just gave me this
incredible object named [circuit~] that emulates analog circuitry. I'm
blown away and have no idea how it works, it's just pure magic as I see it.
As an atheist, I can't explain it...
Tim also helped in a compild version of [conv~]. I had this very expensive
abstraction and this is now a much more simplified version of the great
william brent's [convolve~] object. This was one of the things on my list
for a final release, so we're getting closer. By the way, I think I've said
it before, I'm planning a final release next year when Tim's Plugdata
reaches version 1.0 (phew, finally).
I'm still extendind the MC awareness of objects in ELSE. The [sine~] ,
[imp~] and [adsr~] objects are now MC aware! The [adsr~] and [envgen~]
also got a new audio inlet for retriggering with impulses. Including new
objects, ELSE now has 70 signal objects that can deal with multichannels.
A family of new objects I'm really proud of is [pm6~], [pm4~] and [pm2~].
These are 6, 4 and 2 operators synths with a modulation matrix for phase
modulation. So yeah, think of DX7 and stuff. Or Native Instruments' FM8,
actually. This is beautifual, and MC aware! Being MC aware makes it
polyphonic with [voices~], without the need of [clone]. Did I mention I'm
working on modular abstractions? Yup, one based on [pm6~] is done, and
looks great with all the GUI there for you to set values in the modulation
matrix, plus panning, detuning, ratio. Really damn proud of this one.
A new [mono~] object offers monophonic voice management with signal rate
portamento output. A [mpe.in] object is my first take on managing MIDI
Polyphonic Expression. I guess that's the highlights and it for now.
Current object count is: 518 (277 signal objects and 241 control objects)!
299 coded objects (192 signal objects / 107 control objects) 219
abstractions (85 signal objects / 134 control objects) Not much new in the
tutorial, just some updates and revisions to add the new objects and
breaking changes in ELSE. Total number of examples is now 508!
More details in https://github.com/porres/pd-else/releases/tag/v.1.0-rc10
Get it from there or deken (no raspberry pi yet). Expect this one soon in
a next PlugData release.
cheers
To Pd-announce:
Pd version 0.54-1 test 1 is available from http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm
or (source only) via github: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data
This fixes a problem running 0.54-0 on the newest MAC operating system,
plus other bug fixes andfocumentation updates.
cheers

Hi, it was supposed to be a minor bugfix release but I went ahead and made
some objects deprecated. They're still there for backwards compatibility,
patches will run, but annoying errors will show up. Such objects include
minimum~, maximum~, pow~, clip~, which have Vanilla versions. Others are
number~ and comment, a couple of GUI elements that never really worked well
and were mostly used in the documentation (so yeah, I also revised the
documentation). That's basically it and all folks.
see https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases/tag/cyclone_v0.8-0
get it also via deken.

Hi everyone!
I've just put out a release candidate for plugdata v0.8.0
<https://github.com/plugdata-team/plugdata/releases/tag/v0.8.0-test>.
Give it a try, and let me know if you experience any issues.
If you haven't heard, plugdata is a relatively new pure-data flavour
that aims to be compatible with pd-vanilla, while offering a new GUI,
more built-in objects, the ability to run inside the DAW, and the
ability to export Pd patches to C++ code or embedded platforms.
Here's some highlights:
- Updated to pd-0.54 with multichannel signals (thanks to pure-data
developers), and ELSE-rc9 with many new objects and multi-channel
support(thanks to porres)
- Many UI improvements, we've redesigned all dialogs and menus in the
whole app, and also polished the whole user experience
- New activity overlay will highlight objects that are generating messages
- DAW parameters can now be float, int, exponential float or logarithmic
float, and their order can be changed
- Integrated Heavy exporter can now generate pd externals, is more
stable and now supports MIDI on Electro-Smith Daisy
- Many stability improvements
- Much more, this is one of the biggest releases yet!
Cheers,
Tim
