latest gem version for windows
by marius schebella 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

hey, it seems the latest gem version for windows is from 09/2006 (found on gem.iem.at/release and also included in pd-extended)? I tried some of my shader programs and gem crashed. the mac version is from july 2007 and works (although that version has some other issues (wrong colors...) and atm I cannot test the latest autobuilds). I think some changes were made since 2006, so it would be nice to see a newer windows version. Are there newer gem binaries for windows? marius.

I'm so bad at documenting my projects, but I'm insanely busy right now with teaching. Believe me - I'm quite profoundly behind with many things, but will get around to writing proper help files at some point. And yes, the gui. I needed to get to this point because I'd really like a more efficient gui, but my solution will be for now to make versions that are gui-less as well. The gui is only needed for composing the patterns and stuff - in performance it's not necessary. So - perhaps 0.2 will have this feature. I had to get 0.1 finished first. Wouldn't it be nice to switch the gui on and off at will? Now there's a thought. Best, Ed ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo! Answers - Got a question?

2D pad
by Robert Scott 25 Oct '07

Hi, What do most people do when they need a simple 2D slider, or 'xy pad'? I've tried encapsulating a data structure in a GOP abstraction, but I find it terribly unreliable. robert.

Granular Cross-fader
by Kyle Klipowicz 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hello listers~ There's been a void of conversation on the list, so I thought I'd pitch my latest idea for a Pd tool: a granular cross-fader. I'm in the pre-planning phase right now, and would love to get some ideas/suggestions for how to implement this. Basically what I'd like to have is similar to a DJ cross fader, but using granular methods to stochastically mix two (or more) signals using various common granular ideas (pitch shifting, time stretching, grain size, randomness parameters, overlap, etc.). This would make transitions much more exciting from a DJ end as well as when mixing two or more signals on a DAW. What are your immediate thoughts/reactions to this? ~Kyle -- http://theradioproject.com http://perhapsidid.blogspot.com (((())))(()()((((((((()())))()(((((((())()()())()))) (())))))(()))))))))))))(((((((((((()()))))))))((()))) ))(((((((((((())))())))))))))))))))__________ _____())))))(((((((((((((()))))))))))_______ ((((((())))))))))))((((((((000)))oOOOOOO

PureCorpsV1 update
by Chris McCormick 25 Oct '07

25 Oct '07

Hi all, Remember the PureCorpsV1 project? <http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2007-05/049705.html> Well it's exactly half way through now. Progress has been slow and even halted for a while when I got very busy, but we're back on track now and I will try to push the second half through much quicker. Damian Stewart pointed out to me recently that this would work much better if it was automated somehow so that I was not the bottleneck in the system, and he's quite correct. It would be cool to develop some kind of framework for automating the exquisite-corps patching methodology. Anyway, I will try to post to the pd-list about it as we draw near to the end. Best, Chris. ------------------- http://mccormick.cx

Hey I'm really sorry about that. What I meant was that I didn't remember at all how much time had elapsed between the bug report and the post to the ml and that I sent the two with two different purposes; I'm sure you're right about the timings. I thought you were complaining about my writing to the mailing list too soon (while you were complaining about almost the opposite) and I tried to explain it was not out of impatience. Surely I hadn't received (read, to be more precise) the automatic notification of the bug tracker, since (I now realise) my email address in the bugtracker is out of date, so I read that one much later; and I didn't check out the tracker before I posted the mail for the reasons I already mentioned (and also because I thought I would receive a notice via email in case anyone replied). So, with the hope to close this thread (or at least the non-technical discussion), I really apologize if I offended anyone. >> Correct me if I'm wrong: I need to recompile PD after modifying the >> source >> code with the patch, right? > wrong. > you just need to edit the pd.tk file ... > the only thing you have to do is restart pd... Ok that'g great! Forgive my ignorance. I will try it out as soon as I can. And of course I'll let you know whether it works > change the 2 occurences of "-%D/abs(%D)" to "(%D>0)?:-1:1 Sounds like it will certainly work. > it is very simple: download the patch and...... Thanks for the explanation. Bye m.

Hi hard-off, > i tried loading a demo song, still just getting very clicky sounds, > but i will give it more of a go to find its sweet spots. the rhythms > are cool. I'm interested to know if the patches are loading OK on OSX (you're running a Mac Book right?). When you load the demo song, the [patches\ number box on the BIG drum synth should read something like 128 or 120 (but not 0). If not, try loading from the drum synth load button - patches are in the /meta-studio/pat folder and the file is something like sinoiseclickr_demo.txt. > holey dooley! you want to try that out on a 13" monitor! looks like > there's heaps of good stuff in there though.

Drat, we need some way to list the available fonts by the appropriate names so that Tk will find them. I don't know a simple way to do that at the moment!

scroll bug
by matteo sisti sette 24 Oct '07

24 Oct '07

Hi, I just posted a bug report about this, but I am in an urgency of finding a quick workaround. On Windows XP, sometimes, when scrolling up and down a big patch window with a huge lot of gui stuff (many instances of a few gop-enabled abstractions), USING THE MOUSE SCROLLWHEEL, I get a "Divide by Zero" error dialog, which does NOT crash or hang PD (but does annoy): """ divide by zero divide by zero while executing "expr -abs(0)/0" invoked from within "pdtk_canvas_scroll .x9a4e60.c y [expr -abs(0)/0]" (command bound to event) """ It never happened to me before, so I suspect it happens when the patch you're scrolling is very "big" (in terms of quantity of gui elements). Seems to happen only with the scroolwheel, not the scroll bar. If I scroll a lot up and down and up and down, I am almost sure to reproduce it within less than a minute. I have been working for months developing this patch, which is going to be used on stage in a show the day after tomorrow and suddenly I add a couple of instances and this bug appears; though it does not crash pd it does worry me, so my question is: does anybody know this bug and know whether there are some particular circumstances triggering it so that maybe I can avoid them for the moment?? (avoiding scrollwheel scrolling is just not feasible, as you can even move the mousewheel unintentionally, furthermore the sound technician managing the audio through the patch needs to be able to scroll in a handy way and has always done it with the scrollwheel since it was never a problem up to now) PD Vanilla 0.40.2 on Windows XP. Clean install with no externals. Any help will be appreciated Thanks m. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com
