Newbie request
by Hugh Sung 10 May '08

10 May '08

Hello! I'm new to PD and was wondering if i could get a "working start" - i'd like to someday be able to create a PD applet that can take audio input from a microphone and convert the sounds to text that can simultaneously be applied to a concurrently running program, like a word processor or a presentation program that accepts alpha-numeric input to trigger events. Can someone create a PD example that does the following: 1. echo Alpha/numeric characters based on variable pitch 2. echo alpha/numeric characters based on volume 3. echo alpha/numeric characters based on rhythm (ie, number of pulses per second or minute) Sorry if this sounds simplistic - if i can see an example of a PD patch that can incorporate these elements, that will go a LONG way to helping me learn how to program PD on my own! Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions, PD list! -- Hugh Sung www.hughsung.com www.TabletPCMusician.com www.musicmeetstech.com

direction
by Ben Carney 07 May '08

07 May '08

hello all pd-ers not quite sure how to hrase this correctly. I need to be able to dtermine direction of a string of bangs. more sinply, I need to know if they are being triggered in the same direction from which they started, or if they are bing triggered in the opposite. i need positive or negative numbers respectively. stripping what i have to the bone is this: [ hslider ] [route 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8] | | | | | | | | o o o o o o o o | [other things] } | } [that give me] } | } -----this stuff is all working well [positive numbers] } | } [independent of direction] } | [number] I need to be able to tell direction the slider is being "slid" relative to the direction it started from. hope i am being clear. many thanks in advance -- Ben C.

Re: [PD] state of the FAQ
by Frank Barknecht 04 May '08

04 May '08

Hallo, as others may be interested to help as well, I cc the list. Here's the state of things: The old Pd FAQ at http://puredata.info/docs/faq/ is in need of reworking. It contains stuff that isn't valid anymore, and new FAQs should be added. It was discussed on pd-dev to use the Plone-FAQ tool, that also drives the Gem-FAQ at http://gem.iem.at/documentation/faq I started to convert the Pd-FAQ to the new system here: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/faq-new/faq/ This should replace http://puredata.info/docs/faq/ as soon as all old FAQs are imported. The process of importing has to be done manually. Editing is not trivial, but pretty self-explanatory once you get the hang of it. New sections should be added to the base page: http://puredata.info/docs/faq/faq-new/faq/base_edit Then with the menu "add faq" you can add an entry and choose one of the available sections. That's basically it. It's a perfect activity for a few hours in the evening, but single FAQs can also be converted in a couple of minutes during lunch break. ;) Ciao -- Frank Barknecht nicholas ward hat gesagt: // nicholas ward wrote: > Sounds like something I could give a few hours to in the evening.

Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080428 crashes when opening Preference/Path
by Djého Youn 04 May '08

04 May '08

I'm on Intel Mac Book Pro 10.4.11. The version I've downloaded is Pd-0.40.3-extended-20080428-macosx104-i386.dmg<http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/Pd-0.40.3-extended-2008042…> from http://autobuild.puredata.info/auto-build/latest/ When I try to open the Preference window, it won't open at all or, it opens but then I try to open Path window, it crashes immediately. Before I had PD extended 0393 and never had such a problem. I'm only two months old newbie, so it's possible that I miss some super obvious stuff to correctly install and run this version of PD. thanks!

vasp & missing abstractions in pd extended
by Langsam Wieder 02 May '08

02 May '08

hello list! i finally tracked down why the vasp examples shipping with pd extended aren't working (the ones at \doc\examples\vasp\pd-ex\). The examples use vasp abstractions like vasp.lower.pd or vasp.re.pd which aren't included with pd extended. (even the VASP-HELP.pd is missing). but they are included in the archives at http://grrrr.org/ext/vasp/ in the subfolder vasp\pd. (but funny that the vasp version there is older than the one shipping with pd extended). i wonder why this folder isn't included with pd extended? °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° and two problems with the examples: when i include vasp as library and add the path to the abstractions, the examples load well and don't produce any errors. but i still can't get convolve.pd and loudness.pd to work. with convolve, "start convolution" doesn't produce any output in buf_res (yes, the source buffers are loaded and the lengths are adjusted), "pd do" only outputs the sample count but buf_res always stays empty. and with loudness, i only get a "+" at the output. thanks for helping fabbre

pd-ext colour theme
by João Pais 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hi, I was looking at the newest buid of pd-ext, with the advanced colours. I don't like them very much myself, but wouldn't ask anyone to change everything. Instead, is it possible to edit some file, so that the colours look different? Is this documented somewhere? An advanced idea could be the one of pd-themes. Each one could make it's own theme for difference purposes, etc. For example, a work theme with normal look, a performance theme with dark background, .... These themes could eventually be saved somewhere in puredata.info, etc. JoÃ£o Pais -- Friedenstr. 58 10249 Berlin Deutschland Tel +49 30 42020091 Mob +49 162 6843570 jmmmpais(a)googlemail.com skype: jmmmpjmmmp http://www.puredata.org/Members/jmmmp IBM Thinkpad R51, XP, Pd-Ext-0.39-2-t5, Pd Van 0.40-t2

csoundapi~
by atir ajnopse 01 May '08

01 May '08

Hello! I was trying the csound external csoundapi~ on pd-extended 0.40.3 on windows and could not get it to load (C:\\Program Files\\pd\\extra\\csoundapi~.dll: couldn't load), whereas the same does work on pd-vanilla. Since I would indeed prefer to use the extended version, is there a way to make csoundapi~ work there? best! atir
