circular buffer [attn. obiwannabe)
by derek holzer 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi Andy, list, On http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/sound-design/sound-design-audio.html, Andy wrote: > Keeping a circular buffer from saturating while filling it with signal fragments is the essence of delay based resonant modelling, one way to manage the growth or decay of signals is careful "jailing" using clipping or compression units. Would you be willing to share a patch demonstrating this? I find that feedback-based structures are still difficult to do without saturation in PD. This is especially true when filters are involved, since PD's filters are quite easy to "blow up". I've tried using the Zexy limiters and even a "normalizer" abstraction posted here some months ago but I'm still looking for the right solution. A compressing or normalizing method is far preferable to a clipping one, since I'm going for a more organic and less digital sound with the stuff I'm building right now. Any chance of posting the patch which made the "Resobass" sound? thanks, derek -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ---Oblique Strategy # 76: "Give the game away"

hi, i tried to compile the latest version of pd for mac intel. there seems to be a problem linking the object import.o due to an undefined symbol (_sys_load_lib_dir). does anyone know where this symbol should be defined and what might go wrong? the make script fails with the following error message: > cc -bundle -bundle_loader /data/pd/build/puredata/pd/bin/pd -L/sw/ > lib -o "/data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/import.pd_darwin" > "/data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/import.o" -lm -lc \ > `test -f /data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/ > import.libs && cat /data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/ > import.libs` \ > `test -f /data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/../ > darwin/import.libs && \ > cat /data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/../ > darwin/import.libs` > /usr/bin/ld: Undefined symbols: > _sys_load_lib_dir > collect2: ld returned 1 exit status > make[2]: *** [/data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/ > import.pd_darwin] Error 1 > rm /data/pd/build/puredata/externals/loaders/import.o > make[1]: *** [externals_install] Error 2 > make: *** [extended_install] Error 2 thanks, kilian

Re: pyext objects don't show up in pure data canvas
by Thomas Grill 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi Robin, thanks for advocating my stuff. Please use the flext or pd lists for your questions so that other users can benefit from it too. The disappearing objects stuff is a known issue when flext has been compiled for a different pd version as the one you are using. The best solution is to check out flext and py/pyext from the sf cvs and compile it yourself for the specific version. If you are under Windows or OSX you can also grab binaries from http://grrrr.org/ext/beta which should work with current pd versions. greetings, Thomas Am 25.09.2006 um 16:49 schrieb Robin Price: > Dear Thomas, > > I've been using your pyext/py external for pd and although it works > fine (and is really useful to me) the black object square with the > text in for the pyext external doesn't show up, either in the example > patches or when i insert a new object and type pyext. is this a known > bug ? > > Cheers. > > P.S.

Re: [PD] physical computing: Lanbox
by tim 27 Sep '06

27 Sep '06

Hi, LanBox + switchpack + pd works ! One thing I still haven't figured out though: When the tcpclient connection dies after a while I can only restore it by sending |disconnect( first and then connecting again. I can do this every 12 messages or so (see patch below), but this can't be the good way, because in the real situation, the messages will have variable timings. Disconnecting and reconnecting before every message seems to get messy and some messages get lost. Why doesn't the 'keep connection alive' section of the lanbox patch take care of this ? I'm under the impression that tcpclient doesn't actively send a 0 on its outlet when the connection dies on its own, but only when you send it a disconnect message. What's the best way make sure there is a connection before sending a message ? following are ± the steps it took to make it work in the first place: The 5 pin output of the lanbox has to go into a 3 pin DMX input on the switchpack. soldered an adaptor cable as in the lanbox user manual p13 (first I made a mistake here, wich wasted me lots of time) on the switchpack: (12 channel DMX switchpack from 'skytec', can't find alot of info on it.) put the it in DMX mode, indicaded on the display by 'd - - .', and check if the base DMX channel is 1 by pressing 'up'. on windows: Connect lanbox and pc with crossed ethernet cable. Establish a connection by assigning the computer the static IP 192.168.1.10, then opening LCEdit+ > file > new...enter password 777 when asked. Update Lanbox firmware with the version from the CD with LCEdit+. (not sure this was absolutely necessary) Do a little test by placing a switch object on the stage and see if the switchpack responds. on linux (ubuntu 6.06): assign the computer the static IP 192.168.1.10 in System > Administration > Networking > Ethernet connection > Properties > Configuration > Static IP address open the patch lanbox1_test.pd, ( http://www.timvets.net/software/pd/lanbox_test.tar.gz ) which is based on Cyrille Henry's lanbox.pd patch. (needs [tcpclient], [makesymbol]) -> should now have nice running-lights pattern going on the switchpack :p ->thank you's to cyrille, mik, pd-list...! Tim

Hi list, I notice that "adddollsym" msg-method seems to be broken (pd-0.40-test08, win box). Is this a bug or some logical consequence of dollarsigns' extension to [ $1$2 ( ... Cheers, P.Cage ("At the core of all well-founded belief, lies belief that is unfounded." L.W.)
