Re: Synthesizer Methods Book
by Michael Berkowski 14 Dec '04

14 Dec '04

Greetings, In addition to the Computer Music Tutorial mentioned earlier, I would recommend Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition, and Performance by; Charles Dodge http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0028646827/ref=pd_sim_b_3/104… and Computer Sound Design: Synthesis Techniques and Programming; by Eduardo Miranda. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0240516931/ref=pd_sim_b_6/104… Roads is a perhaps bit more comprehensive than either of these, as it includes a great deal more historical information in addition to the technical, but a search back through the list archives for these titles/authors should reveal some debate over the strengths of each. (Maybe not Miranda. I don't remember much mention of his book, but Dodge and Roads have been discussed many times.) All make great gifts.

Also, 'Microsound' (again Curtis Rhoads) is great (I'm not that far through it yet though). Pretty cheap for the paperback too (with CD).

labeled inlets
by Orm Finnendahl 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

Hi all, recently I saw another on someone's computer pd's cursor showing a question mark and, when moved to a labeled inlet of a subpatcher, the label. How do I get that to work on my own machine? I got 0.38-10-0test10. -- Orm

tension
by Federico 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

[tension] http://xaero.ath.cx:2005/pd/tension-0.1.tar.gz tension takes a (float) input in the range 0...1 and scales it to a log/exp/lin scale, depending by its argument (2nd inlet), which could be negative or positive. (have a look at the help patch to click'n'see) if you don't figure how this could be useful, ignore me. note that this is my first external, and also i am not a math guru, so the used formula may be wrong. (just it works for me..., i used it to make better envelopes) if you use it tell me any bugs or how to improve it. bye -- Federico

graph-on-parent feature - how to use?
by Federico 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

i have some questions concerning the graph on parent feature. first of all: does it work only on a subpatch? (namely: can i have graph for an abstraction)? then, i tried to create a subpatch, inserted a lot of radio and toggles (my purpose is to make a sequencer... for now i'm creating the data matrix), but when i activate the graph-on-parent, my subpatch (seen from the parent) doesn't looks like the original. please jump here to see: http://xaero.ath.cx:2005/8674/ (if you can't view it: the controls on graph appear at wrong position. i have to resize the subpatch at least twice its size, leaving a lot of blank space around the graph(controls)) i tried playng with these parameters: * [subpatch canvas] -> X/Y units per pixels (it doesn't change at all), * [subpatch] screen width/height (it resizes, but also move controls at wrong positions) what i have to do to make an UI appear as i see it in the corrispective (sub)patch? thanks -- Federico

Anybody has an idea of whta may be going wrong? I'm using debian unstable. Thanks in advance... cheers rodrigo

What is an a/d/a sync error?
by thewade 13 Dec '04

13 Dec '04

Sometimes I get a/d/a sync errors (viewable when I press the DIO errors button); what are these specifically? For example are they breaks in the sync between jack and pd, or between jack and the hardware? Pd version 0.38 TEST10 jackd running in realtime pd and jack running as root (until Ingo M releases a realtime kernel patch that runs on x86_64) Thanks! -thewade
