pix_contrast eats up cpu power
by olsen 20 Oct '08

hi roman & me are working on an videoinstallation using gem - only an additional [pix_contrast] in the gem chain hits the processing limit of our computer - is there a way to adjust color saturation in the gpu instead of the cpu in Gem? thanks&greets olsen -- Planet Pluto bleibt!

20 Oct '08

Hi List.... Well maybe it was discussed before.... I am looking for a live distro like "puredyne" , that i can start from a CD, with my patches on an usb stick. Since i have to usse a "foreign" computer for a performance. I tried with puredyne but i am missing many externals from pd- extended.... Is there anything like a debian-live cd with the complete and full pd- extended ?? Thanks luigi

Re: [PD] error with PD-file
by Derek Holzer 19 Oct '08

Hi Philippe, The problem is of course how Pd interacts with the operating system, which seems stable in 0.39 in this respect and unstable in 0.43. The "operating system" way to workaround this restriction is use the strategy discussed on the bittorrent site I already quoted. Open the terminal and type: ulimit -n 2000 or maybe instead: sudo ulimit -n 2000 then type: /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd-extended Or Google around for a way to increase your ulimit amount for all applications. Keep in mind that this could allow a runaway app--such as an unstable new version of Pd for example--to really slow down or crash your whole system! The "Pd way" would be to not use so many abstractions. Is it really that you have all these autonomous elements as subpatches or are they actually abstractions? I can't see how subpatches (sections within a single Pd file) would cause this problem with running out of file handles, but opening 300 abstractions (individual Pd files) might easily do that. Consider converting abstractions to subpatches whenever possible. Also, do you *really* need such a testing version of Pd? Let the Pd devs crash their heads against their keyboards fixing 0.43 for a while longer before trying to get usable results out of it. best, d. philippe boisnard wrote: > But it seems that it's not a problem with OSX > because, PD 0.39 runs with OSX, and I have no problem with this patch (I > have very many subpatches, I don't knwo, perhaps more than 300, because > it's a video creation with many autonomous elements, for example > letters), I have re-installed 0.39. > The problem is with 0.43, which doesn't accept man subpatchs in a patch. > Perhaps, some one have a solution to debug this restriction ? -- derek holzer ::: http://www.umatic.nl ::: http://blog.myspace.com/macumbista ---Oblique Strategy # 112: "Magnify the most difficult details"

Debugging sound
by David F. Place 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Hi, So, I've created some complex Pd patches that do what I want very nicely. I decided to write some of my creations to CD. Listening to the selections on my good CD player with excellent headphones, I heard some acoustical artifacts that I hadn't noticed when I was working in front of my computer listening through speakers. This extra "buzzing" sound is quite annoying. It's hard to imagine how my patches are making it. Does anyone have any wisdom about how to track down and fix these kind of problems? Are there any usual things you check first? At first, I thought it might be the process of transferring the ".wav" files to a CD-R, but when I listen with headphones, I can hear it directly from my dacs (Edirol UA-25). It doesn't matter if I set the sampling rate to 96000. I thought [freeverb~] might be adding the sound, but when I bypass freeverb I still hear it. My basic sound producing algorithm is derived from the exponential waveshaping example in the documentation. Maybe there is some marginality or limitation to that approach that I don't understand? Well, thanks for reading. Even if you don't have any ideas for me, I think it would be interesting to hear stories about how people have tracked down and fixed their own sound "bugs." Cheers, David

d-median (a running median) + d-for (a for loop)
by Damian Stewart 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

hey list, here's [d-median], a 'running median' abstraction i put together today. it's pure-Pd, for your PDa/Palmpilot/iPhoning pleasure. it outlets a running median of the last n values sent to its inlet. internally, it maintains two arrays - one a sorted list of values, the other a table of the timetags associated with each value. when you pass it a new value it increments the current timetag, finds the 'oldest' value in the list (the value with the current timetag) and removes it, and inserts the new value in-order, attaching the current timetag. this is implemented as a single pass through the array, doing the smallest number of copies possible, so it's fairly efficient. also included is [d-for], a C-like for loop based on [until]. you can say [d-for 0 20], bang it, and it will outlet sequentially 0,1,2,...,19. you can also say [d-for 0 20 2] to increment by 2 instead of 1, or even [d-for 0 1 0.1427] (negative increments are not supported unfortunately). and just like in C, if you say [d-for 1 0], nothing at all will be output. there's a debug mode as well, which allows you to step one iteration at a time - great for debugging code that is based around the [d-for]. have a look at the help for examples. working on additional documentation for the dlib - everything in here is documented... comments appreciated. d -- damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz

rc-patches v0.3
by Dan Wilcox 19 Oct '08

19 Oct '08

Howdy all, I haven't been on the list in a while, but that doesn't mean I haven't been patching ... Updated robotcowboy patches for you. Most of the objects have guis with sssad state saveable parameters. * rc-drumsseqs: sequencers with velocity values * rc-patternbuddy: pattern save and load to sequencers * rc-chipwave~: a chiptunes emulator built around Phill Phelp’s chipwave~ example * rc-wavetable~: a wavetable gui osc * rc-sample~: oneshot sampler with reverse and speed control * rc-arp: the arpeggiator from Tod Winkler’s Composing Interactive Music * rc-openclose: open and close patches (useful for playlists) * rc-count: yet another counter (no pd external is complete without one) * a bunch of utility wrappers (sfplay~, rc-spigot~, etc) * blahblahblah … the list grows Also, I'm slated to play at the STEIM micro music jamboree, so come to Amsterdam in Dec to hear the rc-patches in action. I will mail again when I get the full details. End of Line. --- Dan Wilcox robotcowboy.com
