Ok, so I am finally releasing a new version of [hid] and company.
There has been quite a bit added, so hopefully it was worth the wait.
- added placeholder names in event types/codes to prevent segfaults
when devices have mis-labeled elements
- added rudimentary force feedback support in Mac OS X (more to come)
- added a number of mapping objects like [hid_vector] and [hid_polar]

Real Time Everything: new directions in media software
One-day symposium, Wednesday 22nd June 10:00-3:00,
Watershed Media Centre, Bristol (uk)
Over the last few years, a 'new breed' of media
software has emerged, offering a range of new
possibilities - indeed, a whole new approach - to
musicians, artists, programmers and other creatives
working with digital media.
Key features of these next-generation tools are:
1) modular structure - infinite configurability
allowing the user to tailor the software to their own
needs, effectively blurring the boundaries between
different media, software applications, and between
programmer and end user.
2) expandability - systems can be configured that use
multiple computers to allow for more processing power,
or to allow remote collaboration, multi-site projects
or telematic perfomance
3) real-time functionality - these tools are built in
such a way that everything is immediate and
interactive, even computationally-intensive tasks such
as video processing and 3D rendering.
This intensive one-day symposium will look at several
of these systems with experts from the field alongside
examples of creative applications, with opportunities
to discuss both the practical uses and the wider
implications of these developments.
This event is run as a collaboration between
Watershed, Bath Spa University College and Sonic Arts
Network. It represents the launch of RAM (the
Realtime AudioMedia group), a new research unit at
Bath Spa specialising in the development of realtime
media tools and their application, and a lead up to
SAN's large-scale The Connectors event in September
(also at Watershed).
Provisional schedule
10:00 Â 12:00 Poster Sessions
Max/MSP: Dr Barry Moon (Bath Spa University College)
PD: Martin Dupras (University of Western England)
SuperCollider: Martin Robinson (University of
Middlesex)
Processing: Yasser Rashid
The OpenCV library: Dr Paul Hill (University of
Bristol)
Csound: Professor John Ffitch (University of Bath)

1:00 Â 2:00 Practical Demonstrations
Artists Martin Robinson and Dr Nick Rothwell talk
about their work using some of these tools
2:00 Â 3:00 Panel Discussion
A discussion of some of the wider implications raised
throughout the day
There will be a nominal fee of £6.00 (£4.00
concessions) for attendance at the symposium. To
reserve your place, call the Watershed box office on
0117 927 6444. They can help you with directions etc;

hi all...
i'd like to announce the release of pd-0.38-4-devel-2.
the mayor differences from the last devel release are:
- fixed threading bug
- improved portaudio code (using the callback based scheduler latencies
of few ms should be possible)
this time i was also able to provide binary packages for win32 (no osx
binaries, though ... any volunteers?)
get the files at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=55736&package_id=1516…
oh ... and by the way ... any feedback is highly appreciated :-)
thanks ... tim

I put together a Pd-extended.app release candidate. I finally figured
out the Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 build problems, so its a proper build from
scratch. Tcl/Tk 8.4.9 brings lots of lovely improvements, including
Jamie's CoreGraphics updates. Also, in this build, I included a lot of
stuff from the "abstractions" section of the CVS, including RRADical,
some tutorials, etc. etc.
http://at.or.at/hans/pd/installers.html
Things seem to be working fine. Try things out and post to the list
when things are broken. If I don't hear of any problems, I'll make
this the release and stick it on the SourceForge page.
Also, thanks for the donations, it definitely spurred me on (I don't
know if I should mention names...).

hello all,
thanks to artengine, there can be now pcb's ordered for the usb iobox project.
see http://multio.mamalala.de for more details about the iobox.
here's a quick overview:
in the basic version, that is one mainboard and one userboard.
it has offers on the userboard as i/o :
* interface via usb, either in hid compatible or raw mode
* 16 digital inputs (for switches, buttons, ....)
* 16 digital outputs (for led's, ....)
* 22 analogue inputs with full 12 bit resolution (for faders, knobs,
sensors,...)
* 16 analogue outputs with full 12 bit resolution (for dimmer-racks, old
analogue synth's, etc.)
as options, not yet in the firmware, but i am already working on:
* 2 midi output ports (to send data to midi equipment)
* user-interface with an lcd, rs-232 and a simple rotary-encoder based input.
these options are already on the pcb's, but just not used yet.
a rough price estimate is about 150-160 euro's in parts and pcb's for the
above, plus shipping/tax, if applicable.
up to four userboards can be connected to one mainboard, altough there are no
seperate boards for that available right now.
as a help for the interrested people which can not do the solderwork, im
offering to do that for you for a small fee (see on my site).
im sending this to the pd-announce list only, so feel free to forward the
message to let others know as well ;-)
greetings,
chris
I just compiled a quick test version of Miller's latest version from
CVS. It does not have Tcl/Tk included because of the odd issue that
we've been having compiling Pd.app with versions of Tcl/Tk newer than
8.4.4. To use it, install:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/tcltkaqua/TclTkAqua-8.4.9.dmg?
download
(On Tiger, Tcl/Tk 8.4.7 is already installed, so you don't need to
install it.)

The ASP Introduction workshop from goto10 and hosted by okno.be intends
to introduce the students to the basics of Audio Signal Processing in
the fields of realtime music production. The workshop is specifically
made for people willing to develop their work in the digital sound field
and for people curious about the processes involved behind audio
software they already use. The workshop will also teach and demonstrate
which free technologies are available for audio and video streaming. The
workshop will end with an open placard event (headphone live festival -
more infos soon).
ASP and Audio Synthesis
Audio processing is the manipulation, either measurement or filtering,
of an analog (voltage level) or digital (binary numbers) representation
of sound. In the Digital Signal Processing field, this implies the
conversion of the signal from an analog to a digital one and vice versa
with a focus on one particular domain (time, space, frequency,...).
Audio Synthesis is the art of producing artificially generated sounds
using various techniques. This creation can be done either in the
analog world (current manipulation) or digital world (discrete values
manipulation).
topics
1. understanding the physical sound
1.1 the phenomenon of sound
1.2 perceived qualities (duration, pitch, loudness) of
sound
1.3 quantitative measurements (time, frequency,
amplitude) of such qualities
2. understanding the digital representation of physical sound
2.1 basic sampling theory
2.2 ADC & DAC
2.3 binary numbers
3. basic audio signal processing
3.1 adding signals
3.2 multiplying signals
4. synthesis
4.1 simple FM
4.2 simple wavetable
4.3 simple granular
5. samples/soundfiles
5.1 different soundfiles
5.2 loss vs. lossless compression
PURE DATA
PD (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for
audio, video, and graphical processing. It is the third major branch of
the family of patcher programming languages known as Max (Max/FTS, ISPW
Max, Max/MSP, jMax, etc.) originally developed by Miller Puckette and
company at IRCAM. The core of Pd is written and maintained by Miller
Puckette and includes the work of many developers, making the whole
package very much a community effort.
It's hard to describe the possibilities of such an environment as its
field of creation is almost infinite. From audio processing, to video,
2D/3D, interactivity, on-line experimentation, streaming and sensors,
Pure-Data can handle all of these and provide a rock stable system
which is perfect for performances and installations of any kind.
topics
1. messages vs. audio signals
1.1 how audio signal differs from message signal
1.2 how to see audio signals
2. audio building blocks and operators
2.1 oscillators
2.2 [+~], [-~] and others
2.3 ramping and envelopes
3. delay & filters
3.1 introducing delay
3.2 various types of filters
4. let's make
4.1 a FM patch
4.2 a sample playing patch
4.3 an effect patch
MFP
The aim of My First Packet is to provide graphical high-level modules
dedicated to quickly build an audio/video mixing and streaming platform
on linux and eventually OSX. MFP works like a high level and friendly
environment built on top of PD, PDP and PiDiP.
topics
- what is an abstraction
- presentation of the different possibilities
- presentation of Open Sound Control
- presentation of icecast, ogg, vorbis, and theora
- building an audio and video streaming system
