Hello all, please share with your friends and colleagues... sorry for cross-postings... How to Put the Wow in Your Wii! Learn how to hook up your Wii/joystick/homemade controller to control sound and video effects and stuff in your favourite software. Location: Location: NAISA space @ Wychwood Barns, Studio #252 (map & info) ( www.naisa.ca) Time: Feb 22nd, 10am-4pm Pre-registration required Call to register 416-516-7413 or email naisa(a)naisa.ca Cost: $100 Description: Do you want to add more interactivity to your Ableton Live session? Are you are looking for other ways to create complex effects in your compositions? Do you want to feel as hip as your five year-old kid? In this full day introductory workshop we will hook up your favourite HID (Human Interface Device), learn some mapping techniques, and create software that does cool stuff. This is a great workshop for the composer/musician/performer/video/installation artist or curious person who feels limited by the keyboard and mouse, and wants to experiment with different ways to interact with computers. Experimenting with various HIDs can open up new and exciting possibilities for performance and complex sound and video effects. more details at: http://www.careydodge.ca/WiiWorkshop.html Cheers, Carey

[PD-announce] CALL FOR WORKS/PdCon09
by PdCon09 3rd International Puredata Convention 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Please Check the info below, and the attached PDF... spread it out! Thanks.... PdCon09/CALL FOR WORKS: PdCon09 is the "Third International Puredata Convention", to happen in São Paulo-Brazil/July 2009 EMAIL: <<pdcon09(a)estudiolivre.org>> NEWS (feb 15th): - Online Submission procedure is opening on monday 16th!!! - New Templates and Forms will be posted when the submission is opened! - WE HAVE A NEW DEADLINE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF WORKS, MONDAY MARCH 15TH OF 2009!!! ABOUT THE EVENT: Puredata, or just Pd <http://puredata.info/>, is an open source tool for multimedia programming. Because of its open source nature, much of its development result from a community effort of developers worldwide. Some centers do have more people engaged, like the places that held the two previous conventions. the first convention took place in Graz, Austria, in 2004 http://puredata.info/community/projects/convention04/. The second happened in Montreal, Canada, in 2007 http://pure-data.ca/en/. It is a great satisfaction that we continue this event by bringing it to yet another continent, with the intent to promote the formation of an important group of developers locally. In fact, in may of 2008, we had a national convention in Brazil http://www.estudiolivre.org/tiki-index.php?page=Encontro%20PD, which followed the same format of the previous international conventions, and worked as a first gathering to organize this international event. The format includes the show of artistic works, academic works, discussion regarding the interests of the community, and diverse courses. CALL FOR WORKS VS. 2.5 (FEB 15TH) GENERAL CALL We invite artists, producers, developers and further enthusiasts of the open source tool Puredata to send works and projects alike in the following categories: A) Art Festival: (Art Installations, Concerts, Performances & Audiovisual Presentations). B) Mini-Courses & Workshops. C) Paper Sessions/Posters. D) Round Tables & Discussions. Applicants are invited to submit in multiple categories, especially if related (example: paper + artwork) - not that this will favor in the selection process. Please note we are looking for a diverse collection of works, hence there might be a selection among several similar proposals (and more unique and original ones might have some advantage). Let us know if you have an institution support that may cover travel expenses, we are looking for partnerships to help with funds. The event will be held in Sao Paulo, Brazil, from July 19th to july 26th, 2009. Possible (yet to be properly officialized) Locations & Partnerships: - MIS, Sao Paulo's Museum of Image & Sound. - PUC, School of Multimedia & Design. - SESC-SP, Sao Paulo. Promotional Support: - CCSL (FOSS Competence Center) http://ccsl.ime.usp.br/ WE HAVE A NEW DEADLINE FOR THE SUBMISSION OF WORKS: MONDAY MARCH 15TH OF 2009!!! Acceptance notice: APRIL 10th, 2009! Here is the address to send works & questions to: pdcon09(a)estudiolivre.org Addresses of the Official webpage for news updates & more info: http://convention.puredata.info http://estudiolivre.org/pdcon09 Proposals for the Art Festival: Performances, Concerts, Audiovisual Presentations & Art Installations (audio And/Or Visual): As it is the general concept of the event, we long for the discussion regarding the aesthetics and politics of Free / Open Source Software Culture & technology. In such context, we welcome all forms of works related to audio and/or visual, including real-time interactive works, improvisations, Live electronics/instrumental/electroacoustic mixes, Sound installations, Performances, Network art, Robotics, Software Art and Interdisciplinary works. Demonstrations and General Info about Artistic works can be submitted online in Portuguese, Spanish, or English. Please, specify the necessary materials so we can do our best to provide them. If language is a part of the artwork, the festival is open to any idiom, although subtitles in English should be provided when applicable. We look for art installations that adopted Puredata in its development. Nevertheless, at the last extent, we are open for works realized under the context of Puredata (using puredata in some part of the process) as well as open source tools. We are looking for partners to help us with tickets. Any suggestion is welcome. Note for ART-INSTALLATIONS (Audio And/Or Visual): In order to avoid dependence on travel funds from the event, it would be nice to have some works installed without the need for the artist(s) to be on-site. This also implies that such works should be technically simple. Call for Posters/Papers: Abstracts and papers may be submitted in English. The works will be organized in categories depending on what we receive. At first, we contemplate a greater distinction into 3 categories: Technical, Artistic and Theoretical. The topics are generally open to the usage of Puredata in interactive art production/research, the philosophy and social aspect of Free Open Source Culture, and scientific research. Some possible themes could include: - Programming Puredata externals - Puredata versus Max/MSP - Puredata versus SuperCollider, CSound, Processing and alike - Hacking Puredata - Future Projections for Puredata - Hacktivist culture - OpenContent and Creative Commons versus Intellectual Property forms - Finding an Art Historical context for Open-Source Software Art - Sampling and Plunderphonics as artistic strategies - Computer-Supported Cooperative Work - Networking - Live Coding - Philosophy, Culture and Sociology of Open Source Software and Open Works - Aesthetics of New Media/New Technology Art - Using Puredata in Science/Research & Artistic Works: (Digital Signal Processing, Generative Works, Artificial Intelligence/Life & Computer-Aided Work in General, User Interfaces - Human computer interaction/Virtual reality interaction -, Realtime Performance, Auditory/Visual perception and cognition, Acoustics/Psychoacoustics Modeling, Sound Synthesis, Timbre & Sound Models, Biological and medical uses of Puredata. And so on... Check Submission of Works for Poster & Paper guidelines If you wish to send a Poster, the limit is 4 pages, other works are limited to 6 pages. SUBMISSION OF WORKS: Round Table and Discussions should be proposed on the puredata list: http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list, to be discussed and decided upon previously by the community and participants in general. The rest needs to be sent through our online system, with the provided Paper Template And Forms The online submission is due to open on monday, Feb 16th of 2009, check http://convention.puredata.info for news and links.

Some abstractions for you to take
by Thomas Mayer 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hi, as I am not a total newbie to Pd any more, I would like to share some of my abstractions with the list, that I have made for my live performances which consist of recording audio and midi loops live and play them back. Another thing I have posted on my website is my "vj bot" that uses Gem, maybe it is also an inspiration to some people on this list, although not really well done ;) http://www.residuum.org/pd.html cu Thomas -- "[D]ie Kunst flieht, wenn ihr eure Thaten sofort mit dem historischen Zeltdach ÃŒberspannt."

Hello, There seems to be a problem if you want to download the most recent version of Pd vanilla on http://puredata.info/downloads The windows installer file doesn't seem to exist on the server. I tried it last week and also today without succes. Using other mirror sites also didn't work. I remember someone else told me a few weeks ago there was a problem, so I guess it must have been impossible to download this windows version for a few weeks now. Hans r

Re: [PD] sprintf in Osx

Then you'll need to load the 'cyclone' library. You can do that many ways, here are two objects that would work: [cyclone/sprintf] or [import cyclone] [sprintf] .hc On Feb 16, 2009, at 4:22 AM, mathsman(a)libero.it wrote: > Thanks a lot for your answer, > >> Upgrade to the release version of 0.40.3, it works for me there. > > unfortunately it keeps on not working; for example, if I open the > [makefilename] help patch and go to the related object, it doesn't > fine any of the following objects: > > [strcat], [makesimbol], [sprintf], [ascseq]. > > Regards. marco > >> >> On Feb 14, 2009, at 9:50 AM, mathsman(a)libero.it wrote: >> >>> Hi list, >>> >>> I'm looking for [sprintf] in Mac OsX 10.4.11, I'm using Pd 0.40.3- >>> extended-20080627 on an intel machine..

1968's visual programming style
by lukasz 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

http://academicearth.org/lectures/user-interface-i-alan-kay It will start about 23 min 30 s. Did you, developers, 've seen GRAIL before? Some of the things are just beautiful there, like basically drawing whole thing, not interferring and switching between mouse and keyboard (which annoys me in PD). Cheers, Luke PS. Also it is worth looking around 10 min 30 s - 17 min - just so futuristic. PS2. Whole lecture in two parts is really worth looking at :)

Wireless contact mics
by nick burge 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hello Oded. I use wireless contact mics in a couple of projects. Both requiring freedom of movement for the object to be miked up. (See the links below) http://www.myspace.com/entretenidos http://www.cryingoutloud.org/event_stretch.php I make my own pickups (piezo ceramic discs) and pre-amps: I've often used this schematic which gives me a good result. http://scotthelmke.com/Mint-box-buffer.html I plug the signal from my pre-amp into the sennheiser freeport radio mic system which is good value for money, but limited to 4 transmitter/receivers at once which is more than enough for me. (it has a setting to alter the gain of the transmitter for instrument or microphone) The connection is conveniently based on mini-jacks. Did you have a specific problem or question I could maybe help you with? Nick.
