key_49, aka "\"
by Leo Famulari 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

hello! i am trying to turn my computer keyboard into a midi keyboard for sequencing, and i'm curious about the HID readout for key_49, which on my ibook g4 is the "|" and "\" key. i have [hid] printing to the console, and when i press key_49, i get this readout: \\: dropped print: key key_-1 49 print: key key_1 0 print: key key_49 1 print: key key_-1 0 \\: dropped print: key key_-1 0 print: key key_1 0 print: key key_49 0 print: key key_-1 0 what is the meaning of the "\\: dropped" message? will it impede my using that key as a note on the keyboard? thanks, leo

"Make" controller kit
by AshK 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

hello list, http://makezine.com/controller/ have you seen this new controller board from makezine? they say it's based on free softwares and one can do anything (s)he wants with it, there's even an OS that comes with it for people who don't want to code everything. The feature list is pretty good. they even say it's kind of plug n play with pd and other apps. I've never used any other board like this myself, do you think it's any good compared to "arduino" or "create usb interface"? thanks for your lights

[PD-announce] Intro to Pd workshop in NYC
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

INTRODUCTION TO Pd (PURE DATA) Hans-Christoph Steiner Wednesdays, July 26, August 2, 9 - 6:30-9:30pm Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time, graphical programming environment for integrated media processing. It is free software, and a closely related cousin to Cycling74's Max/MSP. It runs on Mac OS X, Windows, GNU/Linux, and even on iPods, PDAs, and as a web-browser plug-in. This introductory workshop is taught by one of the main Pd developers. It will start with the basics - what is Pd, who uses it, how do you program with it, and what is the available functionality. Participants will learn about control and timing structures, basic GUI building, and OSC communication, and also get exposure to basic sampling, filtering, and synthesizing sound, as well as basic video manipulation. You can use your own laptop, the workshop will be preceded with a short installation help session. This course will prepare you for further work in audio, video, graphics or electronics. It will be project based, so bring a project idea to work on. By the end of the workshop, you should have something that works. $325/members $385/non-members Membership is $75/yr.

Objects to simulate mouse and keyboard events on X11
by Alexandre Quessy 19 Jul '06

19 Jul '06

These are objects for Pure Data. Linux binaries are included. Currently, you can download it at http://alexandre.quessy.net/?q=node/41 and if there is no objection, I would put it in the PD CVS under extensions/purex11/ [x11mouse] generates a X11 mouse event [x11key] generates a X11 keyboard event [xmms] controls the X Multimedia System [matches] matches a symbol against a Perl compatible regular expression INSTALL To use on Linux, add the path to this file into your ~/.pdrc invisible file. Currenly, the only one to work on Mac is [matches]. COMPILE To compile on Debian, execute the follwing command in a terminal. It could probably work on Mac too, instlaling the packages with Fink. Tell me if ever you need it for Mac, as the makefile will need to be modified. sudo apt-get install xlib-dev xmms-dev cd aalex11 make LICENSE GNU Public License )c( Copyleft 2006 Enjoy at your own risks ! -- Alexandre Quessy http://alexandre.quessy.net

Feature Request: trigger editing
by Chuckk Hubbard 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

What if adding an element to an existing trigger object shifted all the outputs to the right of where the new one was inserted, instead of adding outputs to the right? Maybe a similar thing for deleting elements, instead of deleting outputs past a certain number, it could delete them from the middle? I can't think of any reason the current way would be better, but I may be missing something. -Chuckk -- "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." -Theodore Roosevelt

Hi everyone - Does anyone have experience using the vocoder LADSPA plugin? I've installed it (for use with plugin~), and am looking through the small amount of documentation now, and wondering if anyone can tell me how well it worked for them. thanks, -David M. -- MIT Media Lab dmerrill(a)media.mit.edu

paint-mode in Gem?
by Wolfgang Fulda 18 Jul '06

18 Jul '06

hello list, working on a Pd-project with a gravitational environment (pmpd) controlling sounds and object-movement in Gem I wonder if there is a possibility of painting traces behind the moved objects in the Gem-window (something like turning off a kind of repaint-mode...?). [Pd-0.38.4 extended on Powerbook G4 with OSX 4.5] Wolfgang Fulda
