so there...
rara avis, using pd in some pieces (including, though not limited to,
frank's [splicer~]) will play a number of north american cities.
November 9 Gallery 1412, Seattle, WA
November 10 1067 Granville, Vancouver, BC
November 14 Berkeley Arts Centre, Berkeley, CA
would be nice to see some of you there, i'm curious about your feedback &
opinions. and you could of course enjoy some interesting music created by
the unusual combination of recorders, drums, and electronics ;)

Hi all,
Pd 0.40-2 is out... this fixes the tabosc4~ object for Intel Mac and
gives the "correct" result when sending non-list messages to "list length".

Hi all,
(Sorry for crossposting.)
This should be interesting for all who want to extend their Pd with
programs written in languages other than C/C++. I have created Pd plugin
interfaces for these two languages:
- Q, a functional programming language based on term rewriting (my own
creation; see http://q-lang.sf.net). Q is a modern-style functional
programming language in which functions are defined by equations. It
also has an extensive collection of modules for doing graphics and
multimedia. My Pd/Q external allows you to execute Q functions in order
to do complicated control stuff in Pd, and it also provides a way to
access Q's multimedia interfaces inside Pd. This is available as a
source tarball (pd-qext-0.1.tar.gz); RPMs for Linux systems are also
available.
- Faust, Yann Orlarey's functional DSP programming language
(http://faudiostream.sf.net). Faust's programming model combines two
approaches: functional programming and block diagram composition. You
can think of Faust as a structured block diagram language with a textual
syntax. The resulting C++ code is heavily optimized and can compete in
speed with handwritten C code. My Faust architecture file allows Faust
programs to be translated to Pd externals using the Faust compiler. This
makes it very easy to create new audio externals for Pd, and a bunch of
examples are readily available. I have also written a Q script which
generates complete Pd patches with graph-on-parent GUIs from Faust
programs. This stuff can be found in the faust2pd-1.0.tar.gz package.
You can find all the good stuff, including documentation and a lot of
examples on the Q website at:
http://q-lang.sourceforge.net/examples.html#Multimedia (see the bottom
of this page). The Faust interface will also soon be available as a part
of the mainstream Faust distribution.
Yann and me will show Faust, Q and their Pd and SuperCollider interfaces
at the International Computer Music Conference (ICMC) next week in New
Orleans, so if you have an opportunity to come we hope to meet you
there. (The presentation is on the very last day of the conference, Sat
Nov 11th, 3:30 p.m., see http://www.icmc2006.org.)
For more information please see http://faudiostream.sf.net and
http://q-lang.sf.net.
Enjoy. :)

hi list.
we proudly announce the first public release of our compact composer
for pd, mmm.
grab it at http://netpd.org/mmm-0.1.0.zip
mmm is best described in it's faq, see below. don't expect too much
yet, there is still a lot to be done. comments, bugreports, cash, are
welcome.
have fun with it!

faq for mmm-0.1.0 - eden
what is mmm?
mmm is a pd patch collection aimed at providing a studiolike(?),
streamlined, dynamic interface for making synthetic music.
screenshots?
http://www.netpd.org/mmm.png
ymmv depending on your operating system. we put some effort in
detecting the operating system and setting the fontsize according to
it, but quirky xorg or dpi settings might screw things up again.
where can i get it?
we currently host the mmm at http://netpd.org/mmm-0.1.0.zip ,
alternatively, you can grab netpd, enter the chat, and if either of
the authors is online, download it directly through netpd and start
rocking.
what does "mmm" stand for?
mmm was originally just the working title, but we came to like it
somehow. the original meaning is "music making machine" but you can
substitute every m for whatever you want. so "massive multiplayer
music" is okay with us, too.
what is the inspiration?
having worked on/with the bagoftricks (lots inconsistently coloured
gop-patches to be connected freely) and netpd (lots of
inconsistent-looking windows to clutter up the screen), we came to
mock up an clean, dynamic interface in which modules don't bring their
own gop or open their own window, but log onto the interface that's
provided for them by the motherpatch. all modules sharing the same
interface made it easy for them to share the same sequencer and
arranger.
what are the dependencies?
mmm should work with pd-0.39 and zexy installed. iemlib is important
for many synth and effects patches, and there's even set of gem
modules you can chain if you want.
is it actually usable?
no. this 0.1.0 release is rather a tech demo and a taste of things to
potentially come. you can crunch some acid loops out of it already,
but don't sell your protools studio equipment to start working with
mmm on monday.
how does it work?
mmm's interface (mmmmain.pd) is divided into 3 parts: there is the
module/channel view, where you can chain up synths and effects on 8
different channels. select an empty field on a channel, and then use
the scrollbox on the left to select a patch and open it. when clicking
on a patch you loaded up in the module view, the 2nd view comes into
play: from there you control the patch's sliders on the left, right of
it is the stepsequencer for each of the slider (means everything is
sequencable!). yet you won't hear anything until you did the following
2 things: press play in the uppermost row of mmmmain, and set up the
arranger to play the stepsequence. the arranger is not module-based,
but controls all modules of a channel are grouped in the arranger. for
now, you can only select pattern 01 or nothing to play in the
arranger. so set up a loop for the first pattern (loopstart:0,
looplength:1) set the first field on the channel you got your patch on
in the arranger to p01 and start making some noise.
does it work online?
yes. mmm is compatible to netpd and will automatically log on to
netpd's server if you have the netpd chat open. you can also download
the whole mmm package through netpd. feel free to jam around the
world.
what's not working yet / what is planned?
as for now, there is no support for samples whatsoever, it isn't
planned to support them soon. further, there is no hard disk recorder
available yet, but it is planned. the arranger/sequencer combo is very
crippled at the moment, only supporting 1 16-step-pattern to choose
from and 1 page of 16 patterns in the arranger. this will change
rather soon. next there are plans for luxury editing functions,
especially in the sequencer like copy, paste, random pattern,
interpolation and so on. plans exist for full keyboard control, but
this will be worked on not too soon. the module roster is far from
being complete yet, more is to come.
can i save my stuff?
should be possible with the buttons above the channels. don't rely on
the result though, this is still 0.1.0 :)
can i add my own modules?
modules are not to hard to write, but for now, the list of selectable
modules is hardcoded. look at all the 4m-* patches in the patches
folder to see how they are ticking. contact us for adding your patch
to the mmm or try to figure out yourself how it works ;)
what's the license?
mmm is licensed under the gnu lgpl. if you think this is a too useful
product to be free of charge, please consider donating the amount of
money you would've paid for it (or the amount of money you got from
selling your protools equipment on monday) to a trust of your choice.
who are the authors?
mmm is developed by enrique erne (eni, swiss, pd{at}mild.ch) and
christopher charles (syntax_tn, germany, chr.m.charles{at}gmail.com).
we can be contacted via email, irc (#dataflow) or directly in the
netpd chat. several patches within mmm are based upon netpd versions
of them, check netpd for the original authors. mmm shares some of it's
netcode with netpd, by roman haefeli.
disclaimer.
we cannot give you any guarantees on using mmm, not even that you
have fun. it should be relatively harmless, but don't come crying to
us if mmm accidently hijacks your *mule and downloads david hasslehoff
recordings to your computer.

It looks like finally the nightly windows builds of Pd-extended are
working regularly. pd-MAIN still needs work. Try it out and report
any problems.
http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/
The one big difference between the nightly Windows builds and the
others is that Gem is not included. That's a bigger project, since
the nightly builds use MinGW to build, while none of the Gem devs use
MinGW.

Dear all,
Some of you may be aware of, or may have used externals from my flib
library (available in the pure-data CVS). flib is now deprecated, and
will no longer be developed (at least not by me). Most of the
functionality from flib has now been ported to the much more extensive
LibXtract library (available via
http://sourceforge.net/projects/libxtract).
The library tarball includes a PD external that provides a wrapper for
the library's functions. Currently these comprise of:
MEAN,
VARIANCE,
STANDARD_DEVIATION,
AVERAGE_DEVIATION,
SKEWNESS,
KURTOSIS,
CENTROID,
IRREGULARITY_K,
IRREGULARITY_J,
TRISTIMULUS_1,
TRISTIMULUS_2,
TRISTIMULUS_3,
SMOOTHNESS,
SPREAD,
ZCR,
ROLLOFF,
LOUDNESS,
FLATNESS,
TONALITY,
CREST,
NOISINESS,
RMS_AMPLITUDE,
INHARMONICITY,
POWER,
ODD_EVEN_RATIO,
SHARPNESS,
SLOPE,
LOWEST_MATCH,
HPS,
F0,
MAGNITUDE_SPECTRUM,
AUTOCORRELATION,
AUTOCORRELATION_FFT,
AMDF,
ASDF,
MFCC,
DCT,
BARK_COEFFICIENTS,
PEAKS,
FLUX,
ATTACK_TIME,
DECAY_TIME,
DELTA_FEATURE
Some documentation of the code can be found at:
http://libxtract.sourceforge.net
There is also a PD help file with the distribution that explains how to
use the external, and provides a few usage examples.
Please feel free to email me with any suggestions/questions/comments.
best,
Jamie
