The pd-la Patching Circle is an informal gathering of anyone who is
interested in patching languages (Pure Data, Max/MSP/Jitter, etc.).
Beginners and experienced patchers welcome. Open to everyone – work on
personal or professional projects, school work, or just patch quietly
to yourself, in a room full of other people patching patches and

DorkbotPDX is proud to announce a unique *free* workshop geared at
teaching sound synthesis fundamentals as explored and demonstrated
through Pure Data (PD).
Sunday, May 29th, 2011 - 1-5pm PST
@ Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA), room 205
1241 Northwest Johnson Street
Portland, OR 97209-3023
Fascinated by orgies of towering analog synthesizers from the 60s?
Mesmerized by how computers can generate sound that offends and elates?
In this casual yet intense session, we will cover the basics of audio
signal theory while exploring the common techniques and tricks used by
sound designers and synth builders.
Participants should bring:
[*] A mac/linux/win laptop with a functioning Pure data install.
(This is free and open-source software!)
Download either 'Vanilla' or 'Pd-extended' here:
http://puredata.info/community/projects/software
[*] A basic/rudimentary knowledge of Pd. (Not 100% required - but at
least a very basic understanding of what Pd is will help)
[*] Headphones
[*] An eagerness to learn, develop, and share!
The synthesis workshop is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Seating is limited
to 30 (first-come, first serve)
http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/synthesis_workshop_in_pd
The registration for the 2011 Ambisonics Symposium is now open.
We have managed to find a low-cost way of handling the registration via Kentucky's Project Lead The Way.
Registration Fee is $50.
We have also organized a tour to two of the Bluegrass Region's main sights, the Woodford Reserve Bourbon Distillery and a dinner and tour at historic Shaker Village. Registration for the tour is optional and is $120, which includes tasting of the local cuisine and beer and spirits.
Please register here:

Looking forward meeting you in the beautiful Bluegrass,
Jens Hannemann

This announcement is late but the patching circle is right on time!
Its the third Sunday of May today, so we're meeting at NYC Resistor
tonight from 6-9pm.
We also now have a mailing list for announcing the meeting each month:
http://mailman.at.or.at/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nyc-patching-circlehttp://puredata.info/community/NYCPatchingCircle
We spend enough time alone staring at our computers; we are proposing
to work together. So often issues that arise when working can be
solved with a quick two minute discussion that would take hours to
solve alone. We have Dorkbot to see people's work, we have Share where
anyone can play, we have workshops and universities to learn from.
This is a meeting where we all can come to work.
This is an informal gathering of patching and patchers (Pd, Max/MSP/
Jitter, and even vvvv, Eyesweb, Labview, etc.). Beginners and
Experienced welcome. Open to everyone, students, the public, etc. Work
on personal projects, professional projects, school projects, ask for
help, help others, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a room full of
other people patching patches and helping other people patch.
Today, Sunday 5/15, 6-9pm
Free!

hi
I rewrote autocompletion-plugin which is now called 'completion-plugin'.
there are some cool new features:
- new GUI (inspired from desire-data)
- added an option file
- auto-creation of completed objects (via Return key)
- added a 'save_mode' so pd remembers keywords for send/receive/table, etc..
- added a nearly-bash-completion mode
- completions update as you type
...
there is a video demo there:
http://vimeo.com/23557543
you can grab the code there:
http://github.com/gusano/pd_stuffs/tree/master/gui-plugins/completion
requirements:
- pd-0.43
- tcl8.5
I could test it on linux and osx only.
OSX note:
there are some focus problems with tcl8.5 (x11), but not with tcl8.5
built with aqua support.
as usual, bug reports are welcome ;)
cheers,
_y

Une préparation d'une session de travail sur le manuel FLOSS de PureData
en français.
Je voudrais que nous regardions comment poursuivre le travail sur le livre
de PureData qui est le résultat du Book Sprint qui a eu lieu à mains
d'oeuvres en février dernier. J'aimerais d'abord écouter Alexandre Quessy
sur son expérience et déterminer comment nous pouvons bonifier le manuel.
* Pour bien cadrer la discussion, les intéressés devraient consulter la
version en ligne -> http://fr.flossmanuals.net/Puredata/Introduction
* Préparez vos suggestions sur les chapitres ou informations manquantes.

| 3. Introducing pd-l2ork |
| par Ivica Ico BUKVIC (via Skype) |
`-=------------------------------=-´
/
/
Pd community has seen a number of offspring Pd variants come and go and as such
pd-l2ork could be seen just another one of those short-lived projects. Yet, the
fact is pd-l2ork has not only applied over 200 bug-fixes and improvements to
the pd-extended branch since November 2010 alone and is currently working
towards syncing with the vanilla 0.43 branch, but also its lifespan is closely
intertwined with the Virginia Tech's Linux Laptop Orchestra (L2Ork) long-term
initiative. As such, this Linux-oriented variant aims at providing a long-term
support to the Linux Pd ecosystem. More so, with its growing pool of
contributors pd-l2ork seeks to encourage fast turnaround to patch submissions
as well as open discourse in terms of determining future development vectors
and priorities. As part of its mission, pd-l2ork project encourages upstream
adoption of platform-agnostic improvements. In the following talk, I will
showcase some of the core improvements provided by the pd-l2ork as well as
encourage contributions from Pd users and developers alike. For additional
info, including source code please visit http://l2ork.music.vt.edu

La présentation se penchera sur comment faire un système de gestion des données

Pouet est un décomplicateur de poésie. Il prend un poème écrit et le traduit en
poésie sonore. Le tout a été réalisé a l'aide de PureData et du programme de
synthèse vocale Festival.
