Hi all,
i'd like to announce a new object library consisting of a number of
functions for non-realtime processing of array data.
Threading can be employed for each of these transformations in order to
achieve non-interupting background work on longer buffers.
It has some similarities with Max/Jitter but is not (yet) as general - VASP
was already in its testing phase with the advent of Jitter... if i'd known
beforehand the design would possibly have been different.
There are PD and Max/MSP ports (but no threading under MaxOS9!), but the
help system is not finished for Max/MSP yet.
I owe a lot to Marius Schebella for setting up the PD help and pointing me
to numerous bugs.
Check it out, it could be useful:
http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext
I'd really like to hear your opinion on it, and i'm open for suggestions
concerning the future direction.
There's also a mailing list for all affairs concerning vasp modular:
http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/mailman/listinfo/vasp
best greetings,
Thomas
Hello all!
A new version of RTMix is available at the same old place:

(use html entrance for low-bandwith version -> cpu's -> rtmix download)
New improvements include:
*Fixed networking seg-faults in Qt3
*Finished network code
*Removed all kde-libs dependencies (I overlooked a couple in the
configure script itself, sorry about this)
*Several minor bug-fixes
*Fixed all other known seg-faulting bugs

Hello.
I collected part of the basic abstraction I made last month in a
tarball. Most of them are very simple but I really need them to handle
my higher level patches so I thought most people would need them too and
would be nice to share them even if they are not hi-tech.
http://agnula.org/~maurizio/mauriziolib-0.1.tar.gz
It includes
accumulate, basicfft, maskedosc~, presetbox, remoteinlet, wrap,
adsrenvelope~, delayfloat, microplay2~, presetproxy.pd, remoteoutlet,
altanything, dt, nmetro, randmetro, samplemanager,
alternate, eventrecorder, not, randomwalker, sign,
altsamplemem~, forget2, osc, randrange, stabilizer, asr~, forget,
presetbox2, randvariation, timeoutstabilizer
In the "help" subdirectory there is an help patch for each abstraction.
More to come as I put order on my box.
The remoteinlet/remoteoutlet/proxy require [forward].
Salutoni,
Maurizio Umberto Puxeddu.
VSTServer V0.1.0. - beta
-------------------------
Third release. Graphics support.
BUGS
...
4. Some vst instruments only doesnt seem to react when doing mouse
drag operations, only mouse clicks. And the one that does react to
mouse drag (JX220.dll), uses enourmosly amounts of system cpu-power doing
gui stuff. Strange. I guess there is something special about vst
instruments.
5. The graphics code to support gui is just hacked together by
looking at the winemine source-code included with the wine distribution. I
have no windows programming experience or documentation about the
windows API, so if someone that have windows programming experience would
have a look at the code and check that its fine/not fine, that
would be, eh, fine. (The code I'm unsure about is
server/win/winwin.c and server/win/main.c, about 200 lines of code.)
HISTORY
0.0.2 -> 0.0.3:
-Added graphics support to the plug-ins. (effEditOpen/effEditClose
dispatch opcodes works.)
-Fixed the makefile a bit.
vst ladspa plugin v0.1.0 - stable
---------------------------------
-Added default hints.
-Added gui on off control input port for all plug-ins ("Gui_on_off")
-Put parameter setting stuff in its own thread.
-Added run_adding and set_run_adding_gain functions.
Seems to work fine now.
k_vst~ pd plugin v0.2.2 - stable
--------------------------------
Changes from v0.2.1 -> 0.2.2:
-Added opengui and closegui commands.
Download
--------
from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/
Snapshot
--------
This is a picture of PD in Linux running two GRM tools
plugins using the vst k_vst~ object, and the NorthPole
plugin using the ladspa plugin~ object, in realtime. And
much smoother than it would do in windows (of course).

Hi there,
I've tested Maurizio's version and it compiles on Win. It can be found at
the usual
http://www.akustische-kunst.org/puredata/percolate/
as official version 0.08 release.... (should work for Win, Linux and OS X)

These are the seven example FM instruments from STK (4.1.1) as
externals for PD or Max/MSP. You can download STK at
http://www-ccrma.stanford.edu/software/stk
To compile flext is needed from http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/ext
(or from http://pure-data.sf.net)
Included are:
# BeeThree
# FMVoices
# HevyMetl (which doesn't sound like what I'd call True Metal at all)
# PercFlut
# Rhodey
# TubeBell
# Wurley
All externals are named in lowercase and with the usual tilde~ at the end.
They all accept a list with note number and velocity number in midi values
(0-128) and control change messages prefixed with "cc" like [cc 2 125(
Consult the STK documentation for possible CC messages.
The externals are polyphonic. Set the maximum polyphony with a creation argument:
[beethree~ 12] exhausts my Athlon 900 MHz!
Default with no argument is a monophonic instrument.
All code released under the GPL.
Download at http://footils.org or One-Click-Buy (tm) with
http://footils.org/pkg/fmstk-0.1.tgz
[Currently not in PD-CVS, but probably next week.]

VSTServer V0.0.1.
-----------------
First release. Beta, but usable.
ABOUT
Vstserver is a wine program that must be running when using programs
using vstlib.
Vstlib is a library that can be used by programs to run windows
vst audio plugins under linux/freebsd/i386solaris/etc.
RUNNING
Vstserver is started like this: "wine vstserver.so".
You probably want to set the "VST_PATH" environment variable pointing
to your plugins first.
DEVELOPMENT
Vstserver is released under the GPL, and vstlib under LGPL.
If there comes many source-contributions, I will probably make it
a sourceforge project. To use vstlib in a program, look at
the tests/exampleclient program, and various vst plug-in documentation.
The interface to the vstlib consists only of two functions (new/delete),
the rest is like you would do when programming for windows, macos(X),
beos, irix, etc.
CURRENT STATUS
Vstserver seems to be very stable. I have not found any plug-ins
that wont run, and I am not able to hear any latency. And plug-ins does not
seem to cause more cpu-power than under windows.
No GUI or graphics-support yet.
BUGS
1. When running the ladspa "listplugins" program many times in a row,
I get the following errors before the server freeze:
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:region:CombineRgn Invalid rgn=0000
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:local:LOCAL_GetBlock not enough space in GDI heap 01f7 for 24 bytes
err:clipping:CLIPPING_UpdateGCRegion hVisRgn is zero. Please report this.
I dont know what this is. Its not errors coming from the vstserver program.
It seems to be related to X, allthough no graphics is used in the vstserver.
I hope its just the buggy libXrender.so library that wine shouts about each
time it starts.
2. Shared memory handlig might be faulty. I suspect that it doesnt free
resources. (see server/shmhandler.c)
3. I havent read the vst plug-in documentation yet, and dont know everything
about it. This especially goes for the "AudioMasterCallback" function, which
for now just returns 1. I guess some more work needs to be done in this area,
and for the various dispatch opcodes too.
4. The processReplacing function in vstlib should perhaps be made just by calling the
process fuction. But I dont understand the difference between processReplacing
and processing.
FUTURE
Add GUI and graphics support to the server (help wanted). And maybe make a
DX-plugin server. (would be fun running pi-warp under linux).
CREDITS
vstserver and vstlib are made by Kjetil S. Matheussen / Notam.

Some programming hints is gathered by looking at the pd vst-object plugin~ source
and the jack soundserver source.
vst ladspa plugin v0.0.1 - alpha
---------------------------------
Makes vst plugins located in $VST_PATH
appear as ladspa plugins.
I'm not sure how well this one actually works.
The northpole plugin seems to work, but others
don't. Oh well, its alpha for now.
k_vst~, a Pd tilde object for hosting VST plug-ins.
---------------------------------------------------
This is really just the plugin~ source made by Jarno Seppänen,
but with a few lines changed (very few that is) to make it
work with vst-plugins using the vstlib.
The name was changed from plugin~ to k_vst~ to avoid nameclash
with the plugin~ object running ladspa plugins.
This object is for i386 non-windows (ie. linux/freebsd) only.
This one works very well!
-------------------------
vstserver, ladspavst and k_vst~ are open-source programs made at Notam /
Oslo, and can be downloaded from from http://www.notam02.no/arkiv/src/

Hi all,
I've uploaded test 9 (source and Windows-compiled) to the usual,
http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/software.html
This fixes several problems, including the "keyname" bug.
I'll try to wrap 0.36 up as quickly as I can so I can get on to the
problem of audio glitches in OSX land, which seems to require major
surgery...
cheers

Hello all,
I've finished my second external! This external was actually my initial
goal...but I had a lot of learning to do before I could successfully write
the code and compile it.
Many thanks to Thomas G for pointing me towards the "proxy" object. and of
course thanks to Iohannes Zmoelnig for writing the "externals-HOWTO". and to
Miller for his wisdom.
The object is available here:
http://www.davesabine.com/media/puredata/difftime.zip
source file and a 'help' file is included.
difftime compares two dates and returns the number of seconds between them.
(Emulating the c/c++ function "difftime()") With a little ingenuity it
could also be used to emulate "datediff()" from Visual Basic which is
capable of breaking down the result into # of days, #of weeks, #of months,
etc.
It operates similar to PD's basic match objects in terms of its inlets and
outlet. Dates can be sent to the object in 'lists' which represent yyyy mm
dd hour min sec. Alternatively, the object accepts the "now" command if you
want to compare a date to the current date/time.
Regards,
Dave S
