Sorry for cross-posting,
I'd like to share with you a crowdfunding campaign I have started for
the 3dPdModular system. Some of you already know it (was: 3dPd), many
don't. It's a hardware modular synthesizer system running on a single
Raspberry Pi, programmed in Pd.
It looks much like an analog modular synthesizer, but offers a variety
of features not present in analog systems, such as cross-fading between
patches, module cloning, saving patches on a phone app, and more.
The campaign will run for a month. You can find it here
https://gogetfunding.com/3dpdmodular/. The synth's website is this
https://3dpdmodular.cc/.
Please share with anyone interested.
To Pd-announce:
Pd 0.51-0test2 is up. It should fix the code signing problem in test1 ofr
Macintoshes. No difference from test1 on other OSes.

The application deadline has been extended to June 15 2020.
Hi
I just released version 2.2 of netpd - the Collaborative Realtime
Networked Music Making Environment. Most of the changes are actually
pretty old, but recent traffic rise on netpd due to current
circumstances made me put a tag on the current state of tings.
Changes include:
* add support for OSC blob data in protocol
* support audio transmissions (samples or live)
* new netpd abstraction: [netpd_sample]
* make instruments directory configurable
* add configuration parameter for latency compensation
On the instruments side, still unannounced are:
* metaseq - a time-line slicer for creating complex sequencing
structures
* evil - live audio transmission with configured latency à la ninjam
* simplesample - proof-of-concept audio sampler
* unpunch - new ds based sequencer with key commands
Since a couple of weeks, you might bump into people from different
parts of the world. We had a jam with 6 participants yesterday and it
went smoothly, so it appears netpd gained some maturity during the
years. Maybe now it's a good time to try it out.

Dear friends
The NIME 2020 conference is mutating into an exciting online edition for participants in all regions of the world. This year's theme, the Accessibility of Musical Expression, is curiously timed for a planetary epidemiological lock-down, and offers a timely challenge to developers of New Interfaces for Musical Expression.
COVID-19 is an urgent wake-up call for humanity. It is also an acute reminder of our accountability as inhabitants of a planet reeling from human hubris. We are uniquely positioned to promote NIME's broader societal implications via a richly networked conference ecosystem and reposition our intellectual journeys as a dynamic, creatively evolving, online community. NIME 2020 will also allow us to explore through online technologies that socially cohesive activity called musicking - something we need now, more than ever!
NIME's recognised platform offers a rigorously peer-reviewed channel for publishing and discussing pioneering artistic and technical endeavours. Our 2020 edition will deploy these energies across formats that creatively combine synchronous and asynchronous materials, and concepts of presence and "real-time", in virtual and hybrid spaces where time zones productively collide. Keynotes, papers, demos, workshops and concerts will all be delivered online. The installation track, a traditional feature of NIME, will need to be repurposed for online fruition. To this effect we are issuing an additional short call<https://apc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnime2020.…> for proposals of installations designed to be experienced online. The call will be open from 6 April until 10 May.
To reframe NIME 2020, we are also asking members of the community that are proficient at integrating online platforms to help shape our event. Just drop us an email if you want to contribute. Through its systemic design, we intend NIME 2020 to serve as a reference for other collaborative online events, and thus as a significant marker of our NIME legacy and responsibility.
Early-bird registration for NIME 2020 opens on 13 April 2020. We have massively reduced the conference registration fee, and we look very much forward to welcoming as many of you as possible to the 2020 online edition of NIME!

Dear ICAD Members,
On behalf of the ICAD Board, it is with great deliberation that we inform
you that the physical meeting for ICAD 2020 in Gainesville, Florida from
June 7-11 2020 has been postponed until June of 2021. The ICAD Board has
thoroughly considered the health, well-being, and safety of our attendees,
and ultimately this was the best choice during these unpredictable times.
For authors, the submitted papers will officially be withdrawn without any
review (no papers were sent to reviewers or otherwise viewed by the program
committee). ICAD will be held next June at the University of Florida, so we
are essentially shifting everything back by one year.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to reach out to any of the ICAD 2020 organizing
team. Stay tuned for more updates on how to remain engaged with ICAD. We
hope that you will be with us for ICAD 2021 in Gainesville, FL.
Thank you,
Kyla McMullen
ICAD 2021 General Chair
