I have to make a patch that basically plays back some video with some extras. Fairly simple, were it not that the video has to be in the highest possible resolution. I've been trying out many export settings from iMovie. At first, some codecs loaded properly but were played back very slowly or made pd hang. One low resolution file played back fine. Now for some reason, all *.mov files I try to load in pd give the same error: "couldn't open the movie file: 1_lkj.mov (-2020) GEM: pix_film: Loaded file .... with 0 frames (0x0)" I tried [pix_movie] as well as [pix_film] (is there a difference?). they play back fine in QuickTime Player. It may have been discussed before, but I couldn't find an answer on the list: -Wich codec do I use for playing back high quality video in OSX / pd / Gem ? -how come all video files are rejected, even the ones that worked before ? The platform is OSX (version 10.4.7) on a macbook pro (intel core duo) , pd version 0.38.4-extended-RC8. The patch should also be able to run on a G4 iMac afterwards. thanks! Tim

bad radio receiver ?...
by oliver 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

hi, list maybe someone here on the list has done this before... i'm looking for an "easy" way to distort audio the same way a bad FM or AM receiver does. i don't just want to crossfade the original audio with some random noise, but i want the actual interference-results i get when the dial of a radio station gets slightly out of signal. anybody knows how to do this ? thanks for any hints on that matter oliver -- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ http://pendler.klingt.org \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////////// http://klingt.org/ground/lift //////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\ http://www.charmant-rouge.com \\\\\\\\\\\\ ///////// http://klingt.org/executive-ensemble ///////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\ http://klingt.org/~oliver/prb \\\\\\\\\\\\ //////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\ LIVE-BUILDER (music improvisation tool): \\\\\\ /////// http://klingt.org/~oliver/pd/live-builder ////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

mtoname (midi note number to midi name)
by Tas Pas 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hi list, Is there a n object that takes a midi note number and outputs the note and the octave of it? I'm torturing myself right now to make it and I worry that it may exist so I'm doing all these in vein. Regards, Terumi --------------------------------- ΓΓ±Γ§Γ³Γ©Γ¬Γ―Γ°Γ―Γ©Γ₯ΓΓ΄Γ₯ Yahoo!

syncgrain object
by ailbhe＠voltdeplume.com 24 Jul '06

24 Jul '06

Hello list! I am a friend of Brien Crean's. He has spoken very highly of his experience with this list. I am also using pd in my final year project which is called rhythm manifest[o]. It consists of a drumkit acting as an interface between the user and particle systems in a 3d space. Basically, when you hit a drumpad, a pico device sends the numbers into pd. These numbers are used to 1. trigger and create sonic particles for the soundscape and 2. trigger and inform particle systems created in Director and projected onto a wall. I am sure this is the first of many questions! Q. I am using the syncgrain object to break the pitched note assigned to every drumpad into sonic particles. What is the best way for me to set this up? At the moment I have two of the pads activated and have assigned them a syncgrain object each. Should I use one syncgrain object for all 8 pads and have each pad trigger different parameter settings? I did try this earlier but one pad seems to be way more responsive to the other despite both attached to the synchgrain object in exactly the same way. Even now, it seems as if it can only work properly on one channel at a time. Any suggestions gratefull accepted. Thanks in advance, Ailbhe

IR tracking
by wollscheid 23 Jul '06

23 Jul '06

Hi Yukio, Hi Ben - interesting - I work on a comparable problem. A light hanging on a winch in a well (with a staircase) that moves up and down with the people climbing the stairs. As the camera (on top) will always monitor both light and people my workaround is to exclude any of the possible light positions (i.e. coordinates in pix_blob) from the calculation. Maybe that could do the trick as well in your case - if you cannot influence (design) the space that way Ben suggests. (the artistically intersting question being as to what extent we want the "interspace" to be really clean or whether we allow for "contextual noise" -) Cheers Achim

Atom's default value.
by Tas Pas 23 Jul '06

Hi list, How can a atom take a default value? When I'm loading a instrument, I have to switch an atom's value to a non 0 value which is the default. Can this be done automaticaly?
