Pd-Convention Graz: webcams, papers and irc
by beau25＠access4less.net 03 Oct '04

03 Oct '04

Thanks for adding the webcams of the convention, I really wish that I was there, but hope to follow the convention as best possible remotely. An audio feed would be nice, maybe a shoutcast, mu3? Plus cam4 is sideways, if anyone there is reading this could you straighten it out. What is an IRC and how do I use it? Also I noticed there were some question marks next to the installations section of some artists, me being one of them. If anyone wants to download my installation to try it out http://puredata.info/Members/cypod/patches Also Her in San Francisco on Saturday there will be a "Love Parade," in the electronic music spirit that evening I will be dedicated my vj set to the Graz Convention. http://drummachine.com/LMSF04.html .beau

downloading attachments
by Stefan Turner 02 Oct '04

Hi list Apologies for quite a lame question, and one not directly related, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer. How do you download stuff from the archives that people have sent as attachments? I guess you copy-paste the text from Mozilla (I'm on Linux) into a new file and decode it...but how? Any help appreciated. Cheers Stefan ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo! Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com

calling all GUI-gurus!
by derek holzer 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hey gang, I 've had a few thoughts about some GUI-enhancements that might make life better for me, and hopefully for others. I'd be willing to work with someone who is better versed in TCL/TK than me to get them done, if any of you think they are worthwhile or do-able. 1. Make Yves' Grid Graph-on-Parent compatible I mentioned this in another mail, but Yves made Grid with an absolute coordinate system, which makes it non-compliant with the GoP system. Other suggested using Ben Bogart's XY controller, which I checked out, but I would like something which works with one click, sending immediately the coordinates of that click. For BB's controller, first one must "grab" the controller, then drag it, which is not the behaviour I am looking for. Where could I look to make this change from absolute to relative coordinates? 2. Transparency I would like to use something like Grid to quickly draw a set of variables, i.e. draw a 32-bank filter response curve or a 128-bin FFT curve. Using the native table objects in PD is not only clumsy, but they can actually hold up DSP. I would also like to see the results of this drawing on sliders in the "same object" on the screen, the way [for example] Freqtweak or Spectral Delay work. So, how could I make a transparent Grid, or even a transparent Ben Bogart XY controller, with a row of Vsliders or Hsliders visible underneith? Is it possible? With GoP? With some TCL/TK magic? 3. Drop-menu Yes, Yves' Playlist is a very nice tool. If you are browsing for files. [And even then, filenames which are very long, or directories which are very full, tend to make it unreadable unless you make the Playlist sooooo huge!]. But I would like a simple one-click drop-menu, for things like Memento presets or samplenames which have been loaded to arrays. Would Toxy be a good place to investigate this? Is it possible at all? Thanks for any thoughts on this matter. d. [who wishes very much to be in Graz, but who did his festival booking too early this year, and is in Riga instead :-( ] -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 22: "Be less critical more often"

soundfiler: resampling & wraparound
by Carlos Pita 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Hi all! When reading from a soundfile into an array using the soundfiler object, is it possible to automatically: 1) resample (via interpolation) to a new number of samples? 2) generate the 3 wraparound samples required by 4-point interpolation (as it is done by sinesum, cosinesume array messages)? If any of these tasks can't be automagically done while loading the file I guess I should carry out them by means of an adequate wave editor. Which one do you suggest? (I often use soundforge but it just doesn't seem the right tool for simple tasks as 1, 2) Thank you in advance. Regards, Carlos

by timon botez 30 Sep '04

Hi, again. Does anyone know of an object that outputs the size (number of characters) of a symbol? I trying to analyze the word sizes from a loaded textfile. Im outputting through the drip object to get every word, and want to measure their size. Thought Id check to see. Thanks, T.

pdp & morphix
by metafor 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

hi list hope some can read something usefull out of this error message. i am building a linux live-cd (morphix) with the most common externals for pd, gem, pdp, pidip, zexy, ... everything runs fine if there is no nvidia driver involved (just nv as i have one of these cards), finally i got glxgears running with really nice performance, but pdp just crashes and gem is extremly slow. X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 145 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent) Serial number of failed request: 36 Current serial number in output stream: 36 morph@Morphix:/usr/lib$ pd_gui: pd process exited i used the .deb for pdp and pidip which were posted recently on this list. pd and gem are from debian unstable (apt). i'm using the nvidia drivers from morphix: version 6106 and the following libs: libGLcore.so.1.0.6106 libGL.la libGL.so.1.0.6106 libnvidia-tls.so.1.0.6106 any idea? thanks marc

P5 Glovage
by Ian Smith-Heisters 30 Sep '04

Some people were talking about the P5 Glove from CompGeeks the other day. I went ahead and ordered one just for kicks. If anyone has drivers, apps, interfaces to PD etc, for this, I'd be very interested in taking a look. -ish

Problem compiling hello world external
by Jamie Bullock 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Dear list, I am thinking of writing a few PD externals, and so decided to try the HOW-TO tutorial at http://iem.kug.ac.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/node1.html. I am using gcc 3.3.3. m_pd.h is version 0.37 and is in /usr/include. The problem is that if I simply copy and paste the helloworld code into a text editor and try to compile with something like: gcc helloworld_pd.c -o helloworld.pd_linux -l/usr/include It fails with the wollowing output: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.3.3/../../../crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start': : undefined reference to `main' /tmp/ccWU3J7M.o(.text+0xf): In function `helloworld_bang': : undefined reference to `post' /tmp/ccWU3J7M.o(.text+0x28): In function `helloworld_new': : undefined reference to `pd_new' /tmp/ccWU3J7M.o(.text+0x53): In function `helloworld_setup': : undefined reference to `gensym' /tmp/ccWU3J7M.o(.text+0x5c): In function `helloworld_setup': : undefined reference to `class_new' /tmp/ccWU3J7M.o(.text+0x77): In function `helloworld_setup': : undefined reference to `class_addbang' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered - I couldn't find anything in the mail archives... Any help would be appreciated. Jamie www.postlude.co.uk

textfile bug or...
by timon botez 30 Sep '04

30 Sep '04

Hi, textfile question: Why does comma break the playback of a text file when using textfile object? I thought that was the job for a semicolon? T.
