Pure Data workshop
Santa fe, Sunday 20 Feb 2005
1PM-9PM
Library of the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe New Mexico USA
Cost: $50
Max participants: 8
*participants must bring their own laptop/desktop or make prior
arrangements with me!
Pure Data is a visual, object-oriented data-flow programming language
which can be used for a wide variety of multimedia purposes. These include:
live audio performance
live video processing + "VJing"
MIDI and sensor data handling
microphone and video camera input
"plugin" prototyping
audio and video webstreaming
art installations
interfacing with databases
control of STAMP/PIC-style microprocessors for robotics, lighting & etc
applications
intergration with Flash, Reaktor, Max/MSP, SuperCollider, Proce55ing and
JavaScript via Open Sound Control
...and much much more
Pure Date is free to download, use, modify and share, is open source and
has a huge international user community who are often quite willing to
give pointers. It is commonly used by sound, video and media artists for
performances, installations, web projects and custom devices. Besides
its modular structure, its main advantage is being able to manipulate
data, sound and image all within the same environment.
PD runs on the Linux, OSX, win32 and Irix platforms, allowing it to be
used on almost any hardware, from dektops to palmtops. No previous
programming experience is necessary to learn PD, although a working
knowledge of digital audio and video is recommended.
This workshop will be an 8 hour crash course in the "vocabulary" and
"grammar" of Pure Data, giving the participants enough background in PD
to continue their own explorations in the program, and hopefully to
create a local users-group to continue to help and support each other.
During the course of the day, we will cover:
1) Installation + configuration for Linux, Mac OSX 10.3, Windows
Please note that not all the features of PD are supported under Windows,
including much of the video processing! If this is a concern, please
contact me ahead of time and we can work something out.
2) Pure Data as a Language
Like learning any new language, PD starts with learning vocabulary and
grammer. In this case, we will learn the names of many common objects
and the syntax of how to use them.
3) Pure Data for Sound
PD has powerful signal-processing abilities, and we will explore these
by building a simple, monophonic synthesizer controllable from either a
MIDI device or from the keyboard of your computer.
4) Pure Data for Video
PDP [Pure Data Packet] is an external library for Pure Data which
processes video packets. We will use randomly-generated video noise and
Quicktime video files to explore PD's use as a VJ performance tool.
Please encode any video you would like to use in Quicktime Photo-JPG
compression. PDP is not available for Windows!
5) Pure Data for 3D
GEM is an external library for PD which uses OpenGL for the creation and
manipulation of 3D graphical objects. Images and videos can then be
applied as textures to these objects, and the objects can also be made
to respond to sound, MIDI or other input.
6) Pure Data Examples
We will look at several projects using PD for live performance,
installations and web-based projects.
7) Pure Data Resources
Finally, we will check out where to find more information about PD,
including it's built-in documentation and tutorials, the various
websites devoted to it, the PD mailing list, and hopefully each other.
8) Participant Info
I'll need to know the following info from you if you would like to attend:
---the OS your laptop will run during the workshop [very important!]
---what experience you have with PD/GEM/PDP, Max/MSP/Jitter, Reaktor,
SuperCollider, Flash/ActionScript or similar applications [not required,
I'm just curious...]
---contact phone numbers for you in case something changes
---confirmation that you will be able to attend on Sunday

YoYo Berimbau is a Pd-controlled interactive musical robot created by
Amorphic Robot Works. It was programmed completely in Pd by
Hans-Christoph Steiner with help from Frank Hausman. It is part of the
Amorphic Robot Works show at the Wood Street Gallery in Pittsburgh, PA,
USA, which is on until March 19th.

Hi,
There is a new test release of Pda available from
its new website at:
http://gige.xdv.org/pda
If you are in the rare position of owning a PDA were you can install
Linux, you might try it out and have a Pd system that you can carry
around and play in the metro or on your bicicle.
Note that you need the latest release of the familiar Linux distribution
(0.8) for the iPaqs or of OpenZaurus (3.5.2) for Zauri.

Samplemapper is a soundfile management system for Pure Data which uses
Krzysztof Czaja's Cyclone libray to store and recall samples by
filename. The [samplemapper] abstraction provides a convenient GUI for
storing up to 32 soundfiles in tables. The [mapreader] abstraction
provides a simple and fast method for selecting samples by filename. The
zip file also includes a very basic example sampler "client", called
[ex-sampler].

hi all
Just to let you all know that we have been developing a set of modules
to make OSC.py by Daniel Holtz easier to use. It is called SimpleOSC and
it can be downloaded from
www.ixi-software.net/content/body_backyard_code.html
We developed it for our own use and to help teaching how to use OSC in
python during workshops we give at universities and institutions.
It is not rocket science but we are sure it will help some people
getting into OSC in python, this is why we thought about releasing it.
I use it to comunicate from a Python based interface to and PD sound engine.

Hi all,
I've updated Pd 0.38 to fix some bugs. Notably, I incorporated
Hans-Cristoph's GUI fixes, which I don't understand, but which seem
to work great.
