[PD][announce] oggwrite~
by Olaf Matthes 10 Feb '02

10 Feb '02

Hi list, another new external is out there at http://www.akustische-kunst.de/puredata/ oggwrite~ is used to write Ogg Vorbis encoded audio files to disk. It is based on Yves' mp3write~, just uses Ogg Vorbis format instead. Btw., stability of oggcast~ has been improved quite a lot (thanks to smoerk for testing... ;-) and can be found bundled with oggwrite~ as pdogg~ at ftp://ftp.muart.de/akustische-kunst/pd/oggvorbis/ keep on streaming, Olaf

Touch101
by Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999 10 Feb '02

10 Feb '02

Hello All, I just wanted to write a few thoughts on some software I saw demoed last week. The software is touch101 from devivative. (www.derivativeinc.com) The software is made for realtime 3D visualization for entertainment (music accompanyment) and is based on Sidefx houdini. Houdini (and Touch101) both use a network/node based interface for modeling. with Touch101 you can use MIDI signals to control any of the availible parameters. I have to say its some pretty neat software. The only advantage I can see it having over GEM is that it can manipulate geometry directly and so doing modeling as well as rendering in real time. But there is no live video support (pix_video). I saw it running on an inspiron 8100 with the Nvidia GO and it was *slow* not even close to the render speeds I've been getting with GEM and my geforce2. In order to get to the point I want to thank the PD and GEM developers, users and maintainers for thier work. GEM is an amazing tool that blows me away the more I use it. And to see that it has 90% of the functionality of a $1200 US commercial package simply makes me proud. I'll be teaching a pd/GEM workshop at my University in the next 2 weeks and hope that the students love the software as much as I do. Thanks to the Community. Ben Bogart B. Bogart ---------

at the cross-roads
by Krzysztof Czaja 10 Feb '02

10 Feb '02

hi all, I have just started coding a multiple-instance-abstraction-embedder class (better known as poly~ in msp world). The question is: am I to a) do it in a simple way, which would suit all my current needs, or b) take into account a more general public, and _try_ do it well (no promises)? Krzysztof Where a) means using only remote interface (no in(~)/out(~)s), and banning nested abstractions.

Re: [PD][announce] oggcast~ ogg/vorbis streamer
by Olaf Matthes 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

Hi, which server are you running? We experienced some problems on Win98 with JRoar, but Linux with JRoar and IceCast2 should work. Do you get any error messages or does Pd crash? I just uploaded the latest oggcast~ 0.1c.zip to ftp://ftp.muart.de/akustische-kunst/pd/oggvorbis/. There are also the Versions of IceCast2 and JRoar I use on my win2k machine (as well as the Winamp Plugin needed to play ogg/vorbis streams). The only bug I can reproduce on my machine is a crash of Pd when the server refuses to receive the stream (send() in oggcast~ returns an error message). In this case I get an access violation in vorbis.dll (the 'general' vorbis library on win) and Pd crashes.... I'll try to fix this. Olaf PS: Yves, as you can see there are some problems that need to be solved... maybe next week: playlist for win... ppagano(a)bellsouth.net schrieb: > i can get neither to work in WIN 98 nor Linux Redhat... > > Olaf Matthes wrote: > > > Hi list, > > > > because some of you asked for an ogg/vorbis streamer I made a new > > external (win & linux): > > > > oggcast~ is used to stream ogg/vorbis encoded audio to an IceCast2 > > server.

[announce] playlist
by Yves Degoyon 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

hi, as i was bored with 2 things : * limitations of openpanel as regards to non-alpha characters * 3-click file loading in PD i did this new object : playlist which enables you to select from a list of files with one click and, even, to make some random search in the list. with this object and mp3live~, i made an xmms-like patch which is included in playlist.tar.gz. you need to update mp3live~ in order to make it work properly because i've added a bang when mp3fileout~ reaches the end of current file. the playlist object can be used more generally for loading files ( samples, patches, .... ) and it handles most non-alpha characters ( those i've tested ). sorry, linux only for now. ( are you busy, Olaf ??? ) cheers, Yves/ http://ydegoyon.free.fr

spaces in messages (again)
by Olaf Matthes 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

Hi list, I was trying to pass some text on to an external. My problem is that I need spaces! My first idea was to use '=' instead of spaces (since '=' is not needed) but I realisied that pd 'steals' them from my patches. When I have a messagebox like [TITLE=my=stream] and save this patch all '=''s are converted to spaces after reloading it. So this solution works but makes patches 'unsaveable'. Then I thought about using atoms like: static void oggcast_comment(t_oggcast *x, t_symbol *s, t_int argc, t_atom* argv) { int i = argc; while(i--) { switch( argv->a_type) { case A_FLOAT: /* get numbers here, strcat() them to the rest */ break; case A_SYMBOL: /* get symbols here, strcat() them to the rest */ break; default: post("unknown type"); } argv++; } } Isn't there any other way to get plain text into my external? The above would just work for numbers (how to tell the difference between int and float?) and text. What's about special characters? ...how does [print] work, couldn't find the sources... Olaf

cordless numberboxes...
by stotz 09 Feb '02

09 Feb '02

hi, list; i just discovered that there's a sort of prototype for a IEM-gui-based numberbox that would allow remote send/receive just like the sliders. that would be great! because sometimes numberboxes suit the task better than sliders and they're still not sizeable and the cords not hideable. did anyone think about porting them to a new pd release ? i think a lot of users would would be very happy about that... another issue: would it be to make receive-objects settable ? at the moment it is possible with a little workaround to set send messages using the message based ";". is there an equivalent, that means receive ? cheers... oliver
