Mouse Control...
by Simon Ball 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hi there I'm having trouble realising an idea. I've got the software running (mac book pro) and managed to play with some of the examples, however I am new to PD, so bare with me! I'm trying to generate a composition of images that float in 3D space. I want the images or layers to move and rotate towards areas of a screen where movement is detected. I don't need to track specific points of motion, simply to judge where movement is taking place. I think this will involve reading frames and analysing changes in pixels. Does that make sense? I plan to use a mini DV camera to run this, on a high contrast background, although I've seen a similar method of recording movement with a webcam and processing, which worked pretty well. ( http://vimeo.com/1948430?pg=embed&sec= - tracks changes in pixels, although I'm not sure how). I assume that this will involve some sort of trigonometry to move images towards points where motion is detected, although I'm not sure how to apply this in PD. Also, how to I generate a floating effect, much like 'easing' does in animation software. And can this work with 3D, mapped images in PD? I hope thats clear, if a little broad, let me know you need any further info. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/solutions. Simon Simon Ball

change samplerate locally
by hard off 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

to re-create the sound of a dx7 i need to change samplerate from my default (44.1khz) to 28khz. globally changing pd's samplerate to 28khz has the intended effect, but i want to be able to run other patches at 44.1khz while running my dx7 at 28khz. i naively tried adding this construct to the output, but the sound is completely wrong: (if it doesn't show, the phasor~ is connected to the right inlet of the [samplehold~]) [inlet~] [phasor~ 28000] | | [samplehold~] | [outlet~] i thought about it for a bit, and i understand why that doesn't work, but i can't think of another solution. is there some way i can 'mimic' 28khz samplerate while running pd at 44.1? or even better, is there some way to locally set the samplerate for a patch? i tried messing round with [block~] but i can't make it do what i need. also, i need to mimic a 12bit DAC~ too.

self-modifying and dynamic patching
by Derek Holzer 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Would like to show some examples of dynamic and self-modifying Pd patches during a workshop here in Berlin. I know there are some in the archives (and maybe on people's HDs) somewhere, but damned if I can find them. Links to previkous posts or new examples welcome! best!

Question on SSSAD and scalability
by Mike McGonagle 16 Mar '09

16 Mar '09

Hello all, I was wondering about the scalability of SSSAD. While it is probably not an issue when only a small number of parameters are being used, what would happen when you are creating objects that, themselves, create many parameters? I was noticing that any time I make a change to any of the parameters under SSSAD control, a message gets sent to EVERY OTHER parameter, whether or not it is of the same key. Many of those messages get sent only to be rejected. I was wondering how it might effect things that instead of having the SSSAD bus at all, that a message point would be created for each parameter. We already know that a parameter has a specific unique key, so why not use that to send messages to to change the value of the parameter? It would reduce the number of messages being sent. So, basically, the two things that have changed here is that the SSSAD bus get eliminated, and is replaced by sending a message directly to the parameters key, and in the "loading" process, instead of sending the messages to SSSAD, you would use the first parameter in the saved data stream as the place to send the parameter. I tried to mock up what I am talking about, and have attached it to this email. As far as I can tell, this should be functional replacement for SSSAD, with the exception of having to send the message to the key, rather than SSSAD. Mike PS, if you find this useful, please don't start to use it, as I don't think we really need an alternative to SSSAD, I only make this proposal to see if it would be worthwhile to modify SSSAD. -- Douglas Adams - "I love deadlines.
