Yes, check this: http://soundcloud.com/bemong/03-rhythm-sound-mango-drive well, the whole tune, specially at 3' 05" so those are the dub chords I'm talking about :P Sorry for not specifying before, Thanks, Marco From: brandon zeeb <zeeb.brandon(a)gmail.com> > Subject: Re: [PD] dub chords in Pd > To: PD List <pd-list(a)iem.at> > Message-ID: > <AANLkTikiVQU9S2jP+YBa55A68HjRW7Cti7ZrSSP6q7K_(a)mail.gmail.com<AANLkTikiVQU9S2jP%2BYBa55A68HjRW7Cti7ZrSSP6q7K_(a)mail.gmail.com> > > > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" > > There are many ways to peel that apple, can you post an example of > something > similar to what you're aiming for? > > Cheers, > ~Brandon > > -- Marco Donnarumma aka TheSAD Independent New Media Arts Professional, Performer, Teacher Ongoing MSc by Research, University of Edinburgh, UK PORTFOLIO: http://marcodonnarumma.com LAB: http://www.thesaddj.com | http://cntrl.sourceforge.net | http://www.flxer.net EVENT: http://www.liveperformersmeeting.net

Re: [PD] reverb in pd

+1 on ben saylor's partconv~ - works excellently. arm yourself with the free acousticas IR's... http://www.acousticas.net/World/IRs/AcousticasM7.zip of the $3,500 bricasti m7 unit... http://www.bricasti.com/m7.html ...and you'll not go back to algorithmic reverbs again. or just get some balloons and record your own! (grab those IR's soon as it seems acousticas have gone out of business. took me a few attempts to check but the link is working.)

[PD-announce] The RjDj (and Pd) Reactive Music Forum is there!
by Frank Barknecht 18 Aug '11

18 Aug '11

Join us at the RjDj Reactive Music Forum: ========================================= http://more.rjdj.me/forum/ After more than a year, RjDj has developed into one of the most loved music applications on iPod/iPhone. Literally thousands of music lovers spend hours listening to reactive, algorithmic, generative new music generated in realtime on their little mobile computers. Even musicians like Carl Craig dive into the RjDj world by now. The music of RjDj is composed with Pure Data as the RjDj composition software. It's pretty cool to know that Pd patches are enjoyed by people around the world in Europe, the States, Japan, wherever. We @ Reality Jockey felt like it would be beneficial to create a place where the experience and creation of reactive music could be discussed, both in relation to RjDj and beyond - so we have created a reactive music forum for just that. So there it is: We're pleased to announce the opening of the "RjDj Reactive Music Forum": http://more.rjdj.me/forum/ New Scenes available ==================== In not totally unrelated news we also have many new Scenes available on rjdj.me, most of them free as in beer or even speech. There is stuff from Japan: http://more.rjdj.me/2009/11/03/new-scenes-from-japan/ where RjDj is becoming big as Natto, or half a dozen new Scenes by Pd experts like Martin Brinkmann: http://more.rjdj.me/2009/10/15/half-a-dozen-new-scenes/ All this is Pd vanilla btw. :) And of course your music could be a part of the reactive music experience as well. Just read http://more.rjdj.me/composer/ to see what changes you may have to make to your existing Pd patch to tranform it into a scene for RjDj - and then how to upload it to rjdj.me. Maybe your scene will be the next big thing?

GEM: borderless window is also always on top (and hasn't an icon)
by Matteo Sisti Sette 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Hi, In ubuntu, if I send "border 0" to [gemwin], then the window (once created), besides being borderless which is the expected part, also sticks on top and doesn't have a button in the panel on the bottom of the screen as windows usually have. Not so in Windows, where it just creates a borderless window which, a part being borderless, behaves as any other window. Is there a way in Linux to get a gem window that is simply borderless without sticking on top and without having to renounce to the panel button?? thanks m.

Re: [PD] overriding objects
by Jonathan Wilkes 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Sorry, I wasn't being specific-- I'm talking about what happens with [import ekext] or [import pddp]. Aren't these are both examples of "loading a library?" While it's true [import ekext/polymap] or [declare -lib ekext/polymap] display the console message for [polymap] (the former upon creation and the latter when the patch is opened), that message is only printed once; same for your example below. Iohannes seemed to be implying that a gf.print console message would be a nuisance because the message would get printed for every object used in the patch (minus one, apparently): "so if you load a patch with 87 [print]'s in there, what information do you get if Pd prints 86 times 'dear user\, you are using matju's special [print]\, which has problems with parens.'" I don't see how such repeated messages would ever happen-- do you? My main point is that I think it's a good idea that if an object takes over a vanilla object, the user has some way to know-- for example, to report bugs more effectively. There are plenty of externals that print informative console messages so I don't see why there would be an issue in this case. -Jonathan From: Frank Barknecht <fbar(a)footils.org> To: pd-list(a)iem.at Sent: Wed, June 16, 2010 2:24:13 AM Subject: Re: [PD] overriding objects On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 11:46:53AM -0700, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: > Oh, I see, I didn't check about expr.

In pd-extended lingo, the term "loading a library" has been misused to also mean setting a couple of "-path"s. The traditional use of the term describes what happens when you use the "-lib" flag or [declare -lib ...]. polymap prints its message, when it's loaded like that: $ pd -lib polymap ... |. . . . . . . . .polymap. . . . . . . . .| |_- polyphonic chain reaction regulator -_| | . . . . . .Edward Kelly 2006. . . . . . | Ciao -- Frank _______________________________________________ Pd-list(a)iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

overdriven speaker
by - 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi, does anyone know how to simulate the sound of an overdriven speaker? You know the crunchy sound when you torture it with a strong bass. It's nowhere near the sound of an normal overdrive with some kind of clipping. Greetings -

[GEM] OS X How to compile against SDK 10.5 in os x 10.6
by Jaime Oliver 26 Feb '11

26 Feb '11

Hi, I started a new thread as I believe people will start getting this problem soon. The previous thread was: gem compiling error I am trying to compile GEM from source in a macbook pro using osx 10.6 and pd-0.42-5, latest Gem (0.92-1) from cvs and xcode 3.21. Chris Clepper suggested to compile against sdk 10.5. sdk 10.5 installed, but can't figure out how to make it the target. some programs have a flag like --with-macos=/.../sdk10.5, but can't find any reference in the ./configure -h other sites suggest to modify the makefile, but no luck yet. I also tried: make --include-dir=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/ can anyone suggest how to do this? best, J -- Jaime E Oliver LR joliverl(a)ucsd.edu www.realidadvisual.org/jaimeoliver www-crca.ucsd.edu/ www.realidadvisual.org 858 202 1522 9168 Regents Rd.

The (not) doppler distortion (was: overdriven speaker)
by - 16 Jan '11

16 Jan '11

Martin Schied found a interesting distortion. Nothing new I guess but worth some analysation. haut-parleur-doppler.pd is the original file from Martin, the other one my variation to get a better glimpse at it. If you like sunn o))) or similar you might like it. But I suggest you first look at how it behaves without feedback. >> Sounds really cool with a guitar and with high gain (around 50). What's nice is the change in the spectrum depending on the volume of the input. > > But all waveshapers also do change the spectrum according to the volume (except those that are linear, which basically means those waveshapers that are configured to do nothing.) This is wrong for this distortion. And that again is what is interesting about it. The distortion depends only on the travel speed of the vd~. But if you multiply the signal with a gain you also change the velocity by that amount. A negative velocity (down to a delay of 0) means a pitchshift upwards. While a positive velocity means a downshift. At a velocity of 1ms/ms is the turning point, for faster modulation the signal is played in reverse. A reflection at 0Hz, which is basically the same as a Nyquist reflection. The parallel up/downshifting leads to a chaotic spectrum change. With a speed of .7 ms/ms we have at the same time the signal with 30% and 170% playback speed. Which clearly has no relation to the original pitch and no harmonic relation left. This is only intensified through the reversed playback and the constant velocity change. While typical (soft-)clipping only generates harmonics related to the fundamental. The more I think about it the more fascinated I am that this results in something interesting to the ear. So what we have here is some kind of natural asymmetrical distortion. As the velocity is the important factor it has the interesting property of being frequency (and amplitude) dependant! A modulation frequency (amplitude) of *2 results in a velocity of *2. This means: the higher the input frequency (or amplitude) the harsher the distortion. If wanted this can be compensated for with a simple lop~, who has a rolloff of -6 Db/dec or in rms: a frequency increase of *2 means a amplitude reduction to 0.5. So every frequency above the cut-off-frequency has now (almost) the same impact on the distortion. Please correct me if I'm wrong somewhere. And have fun. -

window-switching on OSX?
by Damian Stewart 15 Jan '11

15 Jan '11

How do I switch between open windows on OSX using the keyboard? On PC I used to be able to Ctrl-Tab. The OSX equivalent of that is Apple-`, but it doesn't do anything; Apple-Tab on OSX switches applications, which doesn't help either. cheers D -- Damian Stewart +64 27 305 4107 f r e y live music with machines http://www.frey.co.nz http://www.myspace.com/freyed
