physical modelling/general pd - mentor/tuition sought (money offered)
by Julian Brooks 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hi all, I have a 12 month project as part of a masters degree, where I wish to build a physical model of a wind chime. I then want to use the interface to play some of my indeterminate compositions. I was going to attempt it for my undergraduate degree but realised that it was far too complex for the available time that I had then. I have been using pd for a few years now, list lurking, working through basic examples, building simple tools, using other peoples patches etc. But this is too complex for me to do on my own. At my uni there isn't anyone with better skills than me and I don't know of any local fellow patchers. Now as a musician, when I need to up my skills, I will look to find some lessons when I have got as far as I can on my own. So here goes... Is there anyone with an hour a week to spare who can offer some mentoring/tuition for what we can deem to be the 'going rate'. I am more than happy to do this remotely/online, I'm sure there is a way we can work it out. There would be full credit given of course. Pmpd seems like the way to go with this. I have worked through the examples, and, although I have my eye on what examples I would presume to be the best starting points, I'm struggling to get started. The physical modelling is where I first need to start but there's loads of pd stuff I would like to be able to work through with someone, so this could be a (me love you)longtime regular small money earner, if anyone's interested. I am in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, UK, by the way. Any pd'ers local, give us a shout. Best wishes to all, Jb

Re: [PD] displaying a filename

Here's an old patch of mine that does this (as far as I remember! I'm not at home so I don't have Pd working to check). Hope it helps.

expr from sssad/gui-objects
by Atte André Jensen 07 Aug '08

07 Aug '08

Hi I have three number-boxes connected to sssad objects. When they all have their value restored I'd like to make an [expr $f1 - $f2 - $f3]. Since I don't know which box will get restored first I have bangs from the the second and third numbers to the hot inlet, which 1) is very ugly and 2) will always give three outputs from expr, only the last being correct. How can I make a calculation *only when all three values are available*? Sorry if the answer (again) is obvious... -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

connecting with messages
by Ricardo Dueñas Parada 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hello list, I am working with messages to create objects inside a patch, I think I have solved the creation of the objects, but I don't know how to connect them. When I create an object, its "number" depends on the objects created before, and the order of creation, how can I know what is the number of a certain object? With number I mean the fields A and B in the message [connect A X B Y( , I already know what A, B, X and Y are, but I don't know how to know A and B, for the objects I want to connect. Do you know what other things can I modify in a patch through messages? Thanks, Ricardo D.

vu-meter question
by Peter O'Doherty 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi, Can someone please help me out here? I've searched the forum and list archives and understand that the following is the construction for including a simple vu meter in a patch: [env~] | [-100] | [vu] So I used it like this: [number box] | [osc~] | [env~] | [-100] | [vu] but this produces no sound. (The connectors from [env~] and [-100] are message connectors, not audio.) Thanks, Peter ---- Peter O'Doherty http://www.peterodoherty.net http://www.myspace.com/peterodoherty ----

displaying a filename
by Atte André Jensen 06 Aug '08

06 Aug '08

Hi I have an abstraction that has loaded a sample with openpanel. Is there a way to display this filename in the abstraction (for visual fedback), preferrably only the filename (without path)? Any pointers appreciated! -- peace, love & harmony Atte http://atte.dk | http://myspace.com/attejensen http://anagrammer.dk | http://modlys.dk

Spell checking / existence of a word
by Nicolas Montgermont 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hi list, Has anybody developped a way to check the existence of a word in a given dictionnary? As a basis, I was looking at the aspell command line spell checking tool : http://aspell.net/ This is well suited, but it will need to use the shell object and I'm working under OSX, so I'm not sure of it's long term stability. Aspell can be used as a lib also, so i was wondering if anyone has ever developped an external based on it? Or has anyone some other ideas to do that? Thanks in advance, Nicolas -- http://nim.on.free.fr

Using PD in a non real-time mode?
by Ignacio Viano 05 Aug '08

05 Aug '08

Hello. I need to do some heavy audio generation and processing but my computer is not powerful enough to do it in real-time. In fact, I just want to record it; I don't need it to be processed in real-time. So, is there any way of doing this in PD? Is there any way of using Pure Data in a non real-time mode and capture its output to a soundfile? Thanks in advance. Ignacio
