Berlin Pure Data Meetings
by Georg Holzmann 18 Dec '08

18 Dec '08

Hallo Berliner! Since now many of the pd-graz people are living in Berlin (or at least Michi Pinter and me for now ;), it would be nice to meet some Berlin pd people (or similar). I heard that there was a pd stammtisch here, but I guess it is not active anymore ? So if anyone is interested - let me know ! (We also plan to make a workshop at some other time - if someone wants to contribute or attend she/he is of course very welcome!) OK, I am happy for any reply, LG Georg PS: As I am new here - has maybe someone tips which things are good to go to here in Berlin ? Maybe some locations/mailinglists/websites with nice events or communities ? - Thanks for any hints !

Delete scalars
by Lau Llobet 17 Dec '08

17 Dec '08

I'm building some grafics in my pd project. I add some objects with the [append] but i need to erase them, i have found no way to delete them except by using " ; pd patch-data clear " message or array resizing , non of them is usefull to me because i need to erase some of them with no order. I've read that *"Pointers are "safe": if you delete a scalar pointers to it are marked invalid."* so i think there'll be a way to delete scalars , in fact i can do it manually with a Ctrl-X. Is there any way to do it ? thank you very much !.

remote SL users..?
by Damian Stewart 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

hey, Anyone else out there using one of the Novation Remote products to control PD? I have a series of patches I've built which allow me to manipulate everything I need without ever going near the actual computer - everything's painstakingly hand-mapped to a knob on the controller. I recently sent Novation an email about releasing the Automap SDK - they said they'd do so 'in a few weeks' - this was a few weeks ago, so it's hopefully imminent. The question I want to ask is, would anyone else find an Automap external for PD useful? -- damian stewart | +44 7854 493 796 | damian(a)frey.co.nz frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz

Re: [PD] text2d for japanese, persan and other languages

please always include the mailing list when replying.

Gem is openGL based, meaning it uses hardware acceleration. off-the-shelf gfx hardware has been highly pushed by aming industries, which made 3d operations be more optimized than 2d operations... so: [text3d] should be better than [text2d] in most cases (the latter sometimes is needed when you want to use antialiasing) [pix_draw] is usually way less efficient than [pix_texture]+[rectangle] .... fgmasdr IOhannes

emulating an acoustic hi-hat pedal
by patrick 03 Dec '08

03 Dec '08

hi, would it be possible to patch an acoustic hi-hat pedal complete with heel-splash sound, closed sound, open sound, and everything in-between. i am not so sure where to start, i want a sampler-base solution. adsr, playing with filters, morphing of sounds, using 2 samples or more (open, middle, close, very close). i would gladly pay a beer for this. pat

rc-sssad
by Dan Wilcox 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

Howdy all, I've been using the sssad objects, mainly datastore within my main song patches for a while now but needed to be able to save just locla objects. I found thesolution in the 808_local object in the diy2 patches but had the problem of multiple sssad saving objects telling each other to save, which is annoying if you are trying multiple changes and just want to save only one local set of objects' states. Blahblahblah, anyway I made rc-sssad to rectify those annoyances. It can be both a global and local saving object, depending on $1. Only the object that issued to save command will save, so multiple local objects can work together. Mabey this will be useful to someone. --- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

Re: [PD] Pd as a 24/7 Icecast/Shoutcast source client (alternative)
by Ilias Anagnostopoulos 01 Dec '08

01 Dec '08

John, I had a look at the radio pages. Looks good. Is there any particular reason you chose Shoutcast over Icecast? Are you using PD solely for the mp3cast~? Or is it doing more than that? Are you using the GUI's for all of these (jack, PD, jack-rack, xmms)? From what I understand, ffserver is used for the flash version, right? I haven't really heard much about flash stuff, I personally dislike flash and I don't even have in installed. -Ilias John Harrison wrote: > Not sure how much this adds to the conversation but... we have been > using mp3cast~ to stream our radio station to 2 shoutcast servers for > a few years now.
