ANN: Purity 0.2.4 debian package // was Re: ANN: Purity dynamic patching for Python release 0.1.1
by Alexandre Quessy 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

Hello, Can anyone try the latest Purity Debian package I have done ? It works on Ubuntu 8.04 (LTS) and up and should work on Debian. http://bitbucket.org/aalex/purity/downloads/python-purity_0.2.4_all.deb Thomas : Yes, I guess I should check out py/pyext to make this syntax similar to the one in pyext. Note that Purity wraps PD, as opposed to being an external within PD.

MIT Tenure Track position
by chris clepper 05 Dec '09

05 Dec '09

All, The Visual Arts Program is looking for a 'new media' person to fill a tenure track position. Anyone with solid experience creating and teaching interactive art will have a serious advantage in getting this job. International applicants are welcome and most of the faculty is European already. Note that this is not the Media Lab, but a fine arts program in the same school. http://visualarts.mit.edu/resources/jobs.html Don't bother applying for the full time staff position - I took that one.

getting the current size of the gemwin
by Matteo Sisti Sette 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi, I've found this question already asked in the archives, but not the answer. Is there a way, in gem, to get the current size of the gemwin? Taking into account that it could be changed by the user by just dragging its borders, after its creation. Thanks m. -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com

L2Ork story on Slashdot brings up the age-old question whether Linux is ready for serious audio use

Dear fellow FOSS enthusiasts, This is probably already old news according to Internet standards but as it turns out we spent a good time this evening in class not knowing that we got slashdotted.

Re: [PD] Very large patches unstable?
by Matteo Sisti Sette 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

> I've certainly used patches with > 500-1000 abstraction instances without problem, I guess I > haven't tried 4600. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the "limit" (i.e. the point where things begins not working) were somwhere between the two numbers. I had a lot of problems with very big patches, and a lot of times things that worked perfectly fine with a "dimension" N stopped working with N+1, where by "dimension" I mean just the "quantity of things" (e.g. instances of a same abstraction), without the smallest change in "complexity". In some cases some developer (I won't tell the name, but it's someone very important here) was able to find specific bugs and fixed it and published a new release. Unfortunately PD becomes somewhat unreliable if not unstable, when patches get really big. That's very frustrating, because the way it is 'defined' (i.e. the way it is supposed to work) really allows beautiful, complex, scalable design; but the implementation doesn't support it at the end. Also, these kind of bugs are very difficult to isolate. The greatest frustration is when you carefully design something so that size (e.g. number of instances) shouldn't be a problem, you strongly test it within a certain 'size' and verify it is rock-solid, and then, when you have everything working and your project grows a little bit and you just add a couple more instances of something, it stasrts crashing.... -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com

no audio in -nogui mode
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 03 Dec '09

03 Dec '09

So I have a Debian/stable box for a sound installation and I want to run pd with -nogui on it. But it is acting insane. Basically, when I run Pd with a GUI, everything works fine. When I add -nogui, pd can't read/write the audio devices. I've tried: - ALSA and OSS - root and other users - Pd-extended 0.41.4 and 0.42.5 and Pd-vanilla 0.41.4 Here's what I get with OSS: pd@arg:~$ pd -nogui /tmp/test.pd /dev/dsp (read/write): Device or resource busy (now will try write-only...) /dev/dsp (writeonly): Device or resource busy /dev/dsp (readonly): Device or resource busy audio I/O stuck... closing audio Here's what I get with ALSA: pd@arg:~$ pd -alsa -nogui /tmp/test.pd snd_pcm_open (input): Device or resource busy snd_pcm_open (output): Device or resource busy Any ideas? .hc ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Looking at things from a more basic level, you can come up with a more direct solution... It may sound small in theory, but it in practice, it can change entire economies. - Amy Smith
