Help with MIDI i/o Linux Pd
by Mitchell Turner 16 Feb '05

16 Feb '05

I am trying to get a Planet CCRMA linux box up and running with PD. I am having one problem. I cannot get UM-1 (USB MIDI) to show up as a MIDI input/output device in the MIDI Settings... window of PD (Media>MIDI settings...). This MIDI device shows up as an Audio device instead. When I click on the Audio Settings (Media>Audio settings...) the UM-1 is in the audio list. This audio list also shows my Modem. I know I have not configured something correctly but cannot figure out the problem. Here is my setup: Fedora Core 3 (from CCRMA) all of the Planet CCRMA audio apps (including ALSA, PD, etc...) Any help would be greatly appreciated, Mitch

hi again, i still cannot get this to fly . . . . i will be soooooooooo happy when i can figure out why or what : error parsing RC arguments is . . any ideas . . . anyone . . . . at all . . . . 2 days / no pd !!! i am almost ready to weep uncontrollably. if the .pdrc is obsolete how can i stop pd from looking for it? then again, if finding it is not the issue [as suggested] but parsing is . . . how can i parse ? i am dying to parse !!!! i tried starting from scratch and i still get this same #%$! message. thanks, . zehn

All-lights game in pd
by Federico 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

i liked this game a lot. yesterday i was searching it over the net, but can find only java versions, so i wrote my own in pd. for those who don't know: the goal of this game is to turn on all the lights (checkboxes) internals are very simple: i wrote my own checkbox object (GOP abstraction) which propagates only when clicked by user, but never when triggered by another checkbox. so all checkbox are linked together. the second inlet traverse every object to check if you won. i named this "spacca25" (without any particular sense ;]) contents: game.pd The MAIN object. Start with this board.pd The Board object. p.pd The Checkbox object. -- Federico

PD Workshop: Santa Fe, New Mexico - Sunday 20 Feb 2005
by derek holzer 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

For those of you in the US Southwest. There's a couple of slots left for this, so RSVP if you are interested! derek *** Pure Data workshop Santa fe, Sunday 20 Feb 2005 1PM-9PM Library of the College of Santa Fe, Santa Fe New Mexico USA Cost: $50 Max participants: 8 *participants must bring their own laptop/desktop or make prior arrangements with me! Pure Data is a visual, object-oriented data-flow programming language which can be used for a wide variety of multimedia purposes. These include: live audio performance live video processing + "VJing" MIDI and sensor data handling microphone and video camera input "plugin" prototyping audio and video webstreaming art installations interfacing with databases control of STAMP/PIC-style microprocessors for robotics, lighting & etc applications intergration with Flash, Reaktor, Max/MSP, SuperCollider, Proce55ing and JavaScript via Open Sound Control ...and much much more Pure Date is free to download, use, modify and share, is open source and has a huge international user community who are often quite willing to give pointers. It is commonly used by sound, video and media artists for performances, installations, web projects and custom devices. Besides its modular structure, its main advantage is being able to manipulate data, sound and image all within the same environment. PD runs on the Linux, OSX, win32 and Irix platforms, allowing it to be used on almost any hardware, from dektops to palmtops. No previous programming experience is necessary to learn PD, although a working knowledge of digital audio and video is recommended. This workshop will be an 8 hour crash course in the "vocabulary" and "grammar" of Pure Data, giving the participants enough background in PD to continue their own explorations in the program, and hopefully to create a local users-group to continue to help and support each other. During the course of the day, we will cover: 1) Installation + configuration for Linux, Mac OSX 10.3, Windows Please note that not all the features of PD are supported under Windows, including much of the video processing! If this is a concern, please contact me ahead of time and we can work something out. 2) Pure Data as a Language Like learning any new language, PD starts with learning vocabulary and grammer. In this case, we will learn the names of many common objects and the syntax of how to use them. 3) Pure Data for Sound PD has powerful signal-processing abilities, and we will explore these by building a simple, monophonic synthesizer controllable from either a MIDI device or from the keyboard of your computer. 4) Pure Data for Video PDP [Pure Data Packet] is an external library for Pure Data which processes video packets. We will use randomly-generated video noise and Quicktime video files to explore PD's use as a VJ performance tool. Please encode any video you would like to use in Quicktime Photo-JPG compression. PDP is not available for Windows! 5) Pure Data for 3D GEM is an external library for PD which uses OpenGL for the creation and manipulation of 3D graphical objects. Images and videos can then be applied as textures to these objects, and the objects can also be made to respond to sound, MIDI or other input. 6) Pure Data Examples We will look at several projects using PD for live performance, installations and web-based projects. 7) Pure Data Resources Finally, we will check out where to find more information about PD, including it's built-in documentation and tutorials, the various websites devoted to it, the PD mailing list, and hopefully each other. 8) Participant Info I'll need to know the following info from you if you would like to attend: ---the OS your laptop will run during the workshop [very important!] ---what experience you have with PD/GEM/PDP, Max/MSP/Jitter, Reaktor, SuperCollider, Flash/ActionScript or similar applications [not required, I'm just curious...] ---contact phone numbers for you in case something changes ---confirmation that you will be able to attend on Sunday More info about Pure Data: Pure Data program http://pd.iem.at/ http://www.puredata.info <http://www.puredata.info/>/ http://pure-data.sourceforge.net/ GEM - Graphics Environment for Multimedia http://gem.iem.at/ PDP -Pure Data Packet and PiDiP http://zwizwa.fartit.com/pd/pdp/doc/ http://ydegoyon.free.fr/pidip.html About the lecturer: Holzer [USA 1972] is a sound and radio artist based in the Netherlands. His work focuses on capturing and transforming small, unnoticed sounds and electromagnetic resonances from various natural and urban locations, participatory and collaborative media projects, live audiovisual performance and the use and teaching of free software such as Linux and Pure-Data. He has been giving workshops on Free + Open Source multimedia tools for two and a half years in various locations in Europe. http://www.umatic.nl -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 36: "Consult other sources -promising -unpromising"

one of the past messages had a topic that interested me, and it said something to the effect of "I've attached a file" and i was wondering if there was somewhere I could find that attached file, to look at, or if I'd need to ask the person who attached the file. also. one of the emails contained code and I was wondering what i would do to open the code into pd. Thanks, Rob

Gem and Webcams (Win2k)
by Thoralf Schulze 15 Feb '05

15 Feb '05

Hi, for the records: I just fiddled around to get my cheap-o webcam working on my laptop - gem (0.90.1) always stated that it could not create the null renderer (I hope I remember the error message correctly). The very same camera worked fine with Gem on my desktop pc as well as with other ds-/vfw-applications (m$'s amcap.exe, virtualdub etc.) on the laptop. The cure proved to be installing DirectX 9.0c ... With kind regards, Thoralf. ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!

Re: [PD] .pdrc / error parsing rc arguments

Out of curiosity, it was mentioned about OS X not using .pdrc anymore (or at least it being depreciated)? is this true? what is "osX the application-setting-system (or however it is called)?" ? .38-2.app seems to be working just fine with a ~/.pdrc fwiw, and I cant seem to find any other mechanism for pd prefs? someone care to enlighten me?
