FW: Linux Open Source Sound CD (L.O.S.S.)
by derek holzer 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

CALL FOR AUDIO SUBMISSIONS Linux Open Source Sound CD (L.O.S.S.) [Planned release date - April 2005] Deadline for submissions: 07-Jan-05 Access Space, Sheffield's lowtech digital arts organisation, is currently calling for submissions for a CD of audio produced with open source software, and the Linux operating system. There is no specific theme for the curated works, as the concept behind the project is freedom of all elements of music manufacture, encapsulating style, production software and distribution techniques. We hope to receive submissions covering a broad and eclectic range of styles, to represent the dynamic nature of contemporary open source audio culture. Therefore, contributions are invited from musicians of all types, programmers, sound artists or artists who use sound. The LOSS CD is to be released under a Creative Commons 'Sampling Plus' license, so as well as being produced with free software, the CD will also extend the ethos of the open source movement into its method of distribution. For more information about this license, please visit http://creativecommons.org. Please do not submit tracks if you are not willing to release your work in this manner. The LOSS project will develop not only through the CD release, but also through a website, aimed at being an ongoing portal for producers of open source music to showcase their work. This will also offer the works for redistribution under the Creative Commons licensing mentioned above. This website will be online later in the year at http://www.access-space.org/loss. How to submit your proposal: [A maximum of 2 tracks per artist, each between 20 seconds and 8 minutes in length.] Send a DATA CD containing the following files: - Your audio track(s) in .wav format, 16bit, 44.1khz in either mono or stereo. - A text document stating your name, contact details (email and mailing address), track title, track length, the software and operating system used for producing the track, and a declaration that your track does not infringe any copyrights or use any unlicensed material. - An optional screenshot (in .jpg or .png format) of your software setup - which may be used for artwork purposes. For more information, or to mail your submission: Linux Open Source Sound CD Access Space 1a Sidney Street Sheffield S1 4RG UK 0114 2495522 www.access-space.org loss(a)access-space.org Access Space is UK registered charity no: 1103837 Funded by Arts Council England, Yorkshire and Digital South Yorkshire. -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 78: "Go outside.

perception of sound
by " <tboulanger＠voila.fr> 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi list ! This is the first time I get involved in the Pure Data mailing list, a kind of newbie then and I'm currently facing to a problem for which I have no competences : I've got a buzzer which aims at producing a sound sequence when a certain default occurs. The buzzer behaviour is controlled by two parameters : its volume and the waveform used to produce the alarm sequence. It seems for many people that the alarm level is not enough strong, even at full blast so here's my question : do you know if there are some rules that make a sound appear more strong than another at an identic level ? Does the solution resides in considering a square wave (or whatever else) instead of a sine one ? Or should I have to set up a more complex waveform (such as major chords, add a square to a sine...) ?I know that it doesn't directly concern PD but... Thanks for your help ! touti ------------------------------------------ Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr

how to convert number != 0 to bang
by Marc Boon 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

I need a bang when two numbers are equal, but [==] outputs 0's or 1's every time the hot inlet changes. I want a bang if and only if the hot inlet becomes equal to the cold inlet. How to?

What is Pure Data? Pure Data or 'PD' is an open source programming environment for multimedia development. It is used for real-time processing of data, particularly in sound related works, and can be extended through the use of a range of 'externals' or software libraries to include real-time video and openGL graphics. Pure Data runs on Linux, OS X, and Windows. This workshop presents: + GEM [graphics environment for multimedia] The PD external for openGL graphics processing and other externals for real-time video works. + Physical Computing Technologies Interfacing PD to serial controls from a microcontroller. + Introduction to the Python Programming Language Its integration with PD, and general use in multimedia audio/visual processing software.

OS X GEM&Qtime Compatability?
by Bradford Reed 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hi List, I was wondering what QT .mov compression formats does GEM read in OSX? It seems to like NTSC which is good because it can read DV imports from iMovie but bad becuse if I use snapz pro to grab my gem window. If I save that capture as NTSC the resulting .mov is fuzzy. If I save in another compression say animation the captured .mov looks nice and sharp but I can't bring it back into GEM. Anyway, does anyone have a list of what .mov formats OSX'd GEM likes? Thanks in advance, -b http://www.pencilina.com Also, I wanted to say that I think the people on this mailing list are the nicest and most helpfull of any list that I've subscibed to. A few of you tried to help me with getting rradical running and I really appreciate it.

strange popup bug
by Johannes Burström 10 Nov '04

10 Nov '04

Hello list Attached is a patch which should demonstrate an (at least for me) strange bug with the popup external. If I for example am changing the popup name from 'popup' to 'test' with message |name test(, the word 'popup' also changes to 'test' in comment texts in the patch, if re-opening the patch after saving. I have a hard time trying to understand this. regards, Johannes --

JACK MIDI ports in pd / extra port efficiency
by Jon B 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

1. I would like to input and output MIDI from JACK (from MusE, specifically, to use MusE as my sequencer and pd as my softsynth/noise machine) I tried just starting pd with things like "pd -mididev 1,2" (-jack and all of that is in my .pdrc) and it gives the error: couldn't open MIDI input device 0 couldn't open MIDI input device 1 couldn't open MIDI output device 0 couldn't open MIDI output device 1 opened 0 MIDI input device(s) and 0 MIDI output device(s). pd starts, but nothing shows up in my qjackctl MIDI connections window. 2. Does it slow the processing down at all to open pd with more audio ports and MIDI ports than I am necessarily going to use? (Is it smart to put 6 audio ports in my .pdrc if I'm only going to use 2 most of the time?)

fileformat of PD (0.37+)
by Tjeerd Sietsma 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

I'm trying to figure out PD's fileformat, and I can't fully succeed. Could someone help me with this: - vslider and hslider have their initial value stored as a multiple of 100. Why? - what is the purpose of the new_old switch on vradio and hradio? - what does the last value of a vu and a cnv mean? why is it always 0?

Pd/audio/visual open source software workers in London.....
by chun lee 09 Nov '04

09 Nov '04

I have tried posting the message below to the pd_announce list but it was returned twice, I thought I will post it here instead. Many thanks. Hi there: Me and a friend of mine are thinking of putting together a audio/visual performance event with the focus on the use of free/open source software in London. With any luck, we intend to run the event semi-regularly and perhaps develop it towards a group/community/workshop kind of thing based in and around London. Apologies if it sounds a bit vague at the moment, but its a start. Because of this, we would like to know what people's opinion are towards events/groups like this. Any help or suggestion are welcome. If there are similar group/event already running successfully elsewhere on the planet, it will be great to know and see how its done. As a result, if you have suggestions, please let us know, if you know people who might be interested in or already doing similar thing, please let us know. If you know a friend who knows a friend who knows a friend who might be interested, well, I will stop here:) You can contact us at: leechun(a)leechun.freeserve.co.uk dave(a)pawfal.org Or just reply to this list and I will pick it up. Many thanks Yours CHUN

09 Nov '04

hi list, i-m struggling with the basics. in the attached patch i tried to implement a counter that resets itself to 0 if it gets past 3. think i-m stumbling over the depth-first-principle of pd. can someone help out? What is happening (shouldn-t my implementation lead to a stack overflow) and what-s the right way of doing this? thanks, martin (pd-newbie)
