In search for Perlin Noise and seomthing to round numbers.
by Adrian 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

I'm sorry but i lack an english term for that: 3.14159265 I [round] I 3.142 So i can get the data i get from, let's say [env~], and use it properly with graphics (without jittering them around like hell). And yes, i used average and some basic math and got nice results, but something like the above would be nice as well. Furthermore i search for a Perlin Noise object or a way to implement it. Perlin Noise is nice. -- another incomplete website: http://conficere.ch/pds

CLM scales
by padawan12 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

I don't have a musical enough ear to have a clue whether this does entirely what it's supposed to. Any ideas? Has this been done before? To be proper I think it needs to work on the original integer ratio data so it computes at the accuracy of the machine running it.

See this website for plenty of details (and a short interview with yours truly): http://www.arts-electric.org/ Two of the members of the group use PD.

SimpleMessageSystem/Arduino+Gem = Crashes after some time
by Ramirez Hugo Francisco 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Dear PD fellows I am running a patch wich uses SimpleMessageSystem and [comport] to communicate with my arduino board. Also I am getting information from GEM and [pix_video] to run the [comport] which is connected to some LEDs. everything works fine, until PD crashes and I get the horrible Window's error message. and then it shuts down. I am using the Pd-0.39.2-extended-test4 version and Windows XP and the SimpleMessageSystem objects that you can find at www.arduino.cc I hope you guys can help me with this issue. If you wnat to check my patch this can be dowload from http://onsight.id.gu.se/~hugo/pd Best Regards Hugo Ramírez

I get the following: unsymbol ... couldn't create list2symbol ... couldn't create dumpOSC 7777 ... couldn't create OSCroute /ascii /float ... couldn't create tosymbol ... couldn't create What externals are necessary?

thanks mike--for now i'll just stick with the .xml, seems to be working and i don't have to figure out how to write a pref file. cheers, robbert On 10/24/06 12:48 PM, "Mike McGonagle" <mjmogo(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Robbert, > > You won't be able to see a "."

samplemapper?
by robbert van hulzen 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

so with mike's help ("Re: [PD] a few beginner's questions") i sorted out the "couldn't create" trouble. also, i figured out the coll file stuff, i've got it all mapped properly, it seems. only: no sound. warning: 9-zample: multiply defined and that line times 4. i'm a bit scared of just diving into the patch & subpatches and start changing things around, so if anyone has a tip, i'd be most grateful. cheers, robbert -- Pd-0.39.2-extended-test5 mac osx 10.4.7, 15" G4 PB 1.67 GHz, 1 GB ram

a few beginner's questions
by robbert van hulzen 24 Oct '06

24 Oct '06

i don't think the list would have to be a lot friendlier, and splitting things into beginners and überusers would not make me happy. i've been lurking on the list for a while now, learning lots, enjoying the different angles, and happily skipping things that are too far over my head. also, by reading about topics of different kinds and levels, i'm getting a good feeling for where my own limits are, what i want to learn and what i'd rather leave to other people etc. so there, my two pennies as an absolute beginner who's enjoying the list. on to the real reason for my post. did anything happen to the pan~ object? i upgraded to pd-0.39.2-extended-test5 a little while ago (if i'm correct this is the latest stable version, even though i got it from hcs' site rather than from www.puredata.org?), and pan~ doesn't create. i suppose i could drag it into the new app package? where does it reside in the old one? the os X search system isn't very helpful, it just doesn't show. because it's in the package? then i was wondering whether there is a way to add more startup paths without using the -path flag, simply to keep things a bit tidy. i had some trouble adding paths to the flag, but now that i'm trying to reproduce the problem so i can quote the message i got in the pd window, it all seems to work fine. re the tutorials (hcs and others): i'm trying to learn pd by going through msp's examples, and some other tutorials. not very systematically, as i find i've forgotten specific info when i need it. also, there seems to be quite a jump between learning about printing "hello world" and trying to get some musical results. i try to learn by looking at other patches, thinking lots, and finding / using the tutorials that will explain what i need. which usually gets me to learn about other things too. kind of circular learning (?). i find other people's patches very helpful and inspiring, but the idea of including The Patch with the distribution doesn't sound appealing at all. the reason why i'm attracted to pd is to figure out what i want and then how to get that. if i want to start producing music straight away, i'll get ableton live (which is of course a useful and inspiring application) or sth like that. robbert
