Hi,
I'm pleased to announce the new *Camomile* release *1.0.6*.
Camomile is a plugin with Pure Data embedded that offers to load and to
control patches inside a digital audio workstation. The plugin is available
in the VST2, VST3, Audio Unit and *LV2* formats for Linux, Windows and
MacOS. Downloads, documentation and further information are available on
the website:
https://github.com/pierreguillot/camomile/wiki.
This new version includes several great new features:
- Add support for the *LV2 format* thanks to the work of Filipe Coelho that
created an interface for the LV2 format with JUCE.
- Add a new plugin example *PdStalFx* that allows to dynamically load
patches. It can be used in a similar way to the first Camomile versions
(v0.0.1 to v0.0.7).
- Add support for *naming the audio buses*, so you can name the first bus
"MainBus" and the second bus "SideChain", for example.
- Add *script for Linux and MacOS* that speeds up and facilitates the
generation of the plugins.
And many other improvements and bug fixes:
- Fix MIDI channels correlation between Pd (0-15) and Juce (1-16)
- Fix buses with no-channels (for Debug mode only)
- Improve console for concurrent access
- Remove LibWebKit on Linux plugin for better Ardour and Carla Support
(#116)
- Fix text ellipsis of the number boxes and the symbol box
- Add support for bypass parameter/manual bypass in the patch (#108)
- Fix param.get abstraction for the first value (using a default value)
- Improve the IEM/atom GUIS label rendering (#118)
- Fix invisible comments in subpatches and abstractions (#120)
- Improve font size rendering
- Add Fuzzy tests using pluginval on the Travis CI
- Fix the margins of the main patch
I hope you will like this new release! As always, feel free to give
feedback, to submit bugs and to request new features!
I would like to thanks all the people that helped me for the development
and especially Filipe Coelho and Alfonso Santimone! Thanks for your help!
Few words about the support for external libraries as this feature is
highly requested. I didn't forget but for the moment I don't have any
solution that seems usable and sustainable. You can read this discussion
for further information:
https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/11242/camomile-v1-0-1-an-audio-plugin-…
.
And few words on the future of project. I will continue this project but,
for many reasons (that are good news), I will unfortunately have less time
to work on it after this summer. That's why I tried to document the project
and to simplify the compilation process. If anybody wants to join me on the
Camomile development, it would be great and I'll be really pleased to help
for this.
Cheers,
Pierre
Hey all
Let me a announce a by product that was created while working in a
research group exploring formats for telematic performances.
tpf-client[1] is a graphical multi-instance jacktrip clone built in
Pure Data. It establishes low-latency multi-channel audio connections
between two or more endpoints. Unlike the traditional jacktrip utility,
it doesn't require any of the endpoints to have public IP address, a
requirement that is hard to fulfill in many concert venues.
The client connects to a server - the tpf-server[2] - that keeps track
of connected clients and lets client agree on common parameters like
samplerate and blocksize. The server acts as a UDP proxy between
clients and thus allows clients to send audio among each other even
when they are behind firewalls. Alternatively, clients may establish a
direct peer-to-peer connection by using a technique called UDP hole
punching. This feature is still considered experimental and may not
work in certain network environments.
We have been successfully using this setup in a number of concerts with
two or three concert venues and the additional latency due to the UDP
proxy was small enough for our purposes, since we run the server close
to our university. The client comes pre-configured to use our server
running at telematic.zhdk.ch. However, we advise other interested
groups to set up their own server for productive use, on the one hand
to keep latency as small as possible, on the other hand we're still
doing experiments and might restart or adapt services. If groups or
institutions are interested to use this setup, we would appreciate to
get some feedback. Contact me directly.
The client:

Thank you,

Hi,
we'd like to announce that we've released pd-for-android version 1.1.0.
It's available on Github and on JCenter.
This is the first release that is based on PD-0.48-0.(Yes, it took us some
time.. :)
The release includes a few other fixes and improvements, so please check
the following link if you're interested in more details:
https://github.com/libpd/pd-for-android/releases/tag/1.1.0
Best wishes,
Tal
Find Source, Binaries and more information here:
https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/releases
But you can also find these in Pd (Help => Find Externals).
We've finished updating [zl], which was the last object to be updated to
Max 7! Technically, there are still a couple of other objects that needed
updates, but we'll not consider doing them, and this means cyclone 0.3 has
finally reached its main goal of updating all objects to Max 7! Hence,
after almost 2.5 years we now have a Release Candidate #1 version...
HURRAY!!!
Please file bug reports in here: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/issues

Hello patchers
Context 4.0 is now available on Deken! This is a milestone release--it's fully documented, more or less stable, and should work "out of the box" with its own externals*. You can download it in Vanilla 0.48.1 by going to Help --> Find Externals and searching for "context".
Context is a modular sequencer that re-imagines musical compositions as a networks. It combines traditional step sequencing and timeline playback with non-linear and algorithmic paradigms, all in a small but advanced GUI.
Unlike most other sequencing software, Context is not an environment. It is a single object which may be replicated and interconnected to create an environment in the form of a network. There are endless possibilities in creating Context networks, and the user has a great deal of control over how their composition will function.
See a short demonstration video here<https://youtu.be/oHnRsi3saXI>.
Thanks to everyone on this list who has helped me with Context over the years! And happy patching.
Liam
* Context is an abstraction which relies heavily on standard external libraries (Cyclone, Zexy, Else, etc.). At the request of many new users, I've included copies of those externals with this release so that it runs "out of the box", but I know that this will cause problems for and probably irritate advanced patchers like yourselves. The easiest way to disable Context's built-in externals is simply to delete the relevant folders from the main Context directory. PD will then proceed to search for them in your regular search directories. There are more details about this in the readme file.
Last night I made a massive update to the Vector Synthesis library. It
allows the creation and manipulation of 2D and 3D vector shapes,
Lissajous figures, and scan processed image and video inputs using audio
signals sent directly to oscilloscopes, hacked CRT monitors, Vectrex
game consoles, ILDA laser displays, or oscilloscope emulation softwares
using the Pure Data programming environment.
This update represents one year of improvements, particularly to the
scan processing and 3D areas of the library, which were made during the
course of residencies, workshops, and live performances across Europe.
My heartfelt thanks to those who have helped me along the way!
