controling jack from pd? (+ ardour transport patch)
by João Pais 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hi, is there a way to control qjackctl from pd? For example to change the patch cables to different combinations? In case there's no direct way (from osc or something), does anyone know if it's feasible to change patchbay setups from the console (e.g. with [shell])? Another thing: I'm working on something that can involve controlling ardour from Pd. For that I'll do a transport patch in Pd, would anyone be interested in this?

delwrite~ with dynamic length
by Ignacio Lois 05 Feb '10

05 Feb '10

Hello, I'm trying to initialize a delwrite~ object with varying msec length. I don't seem to be able to pass the length as a variable and into the creation argument. Am I trying something horribly stupid, or is there a way to do that? Thanks

LoMus 2010 À la recherche des logiciels libres pour la création sonore et intermedia Pour sa troisième édition, Lomus 2010 s’adresse à tous ceux qui s’aventurent dans le développement de logiciels libres musicaux ou de logiciels libres qui peuvent contribuer au processus de la création musicale. En regard d'un des 2 thèmes mis en avant lors de cette édition des JIMs : "L'Œuvre musicale face à l'hétérogène : problématique de la mixité", le concours LoMus encourage plus particulièrement les contributions intégrant ou s'hybridant avec d'autres médias. Ce thème n'est cependant pas restrictif. Un prix sera remis aux logiciels qui font preuve non seulement d'innovation, mais notamment d'inventivité face aux enjeux actuels de la création musicale. Calendrier Appel à soumissions : 4 février 2010 Soumission des logiciels : 1 avril 2010 Notification d'acceptation : 1 mai 2010 Remise du prix lors des JIM : 20 mai 2010 info : concours.afim-asso.org In search of open-source software for musical and intermedia creation For its third edition, LoMus 2010 invites music and audio open-source software creators to submit original projects that either directly or indirectly contribute to musical creation. In regard to one of the 2 themes for JIM's edition : "The musical work and heterogeneity: the problem of mixity", the LoMus contest will particularly encourage sonic/musical softwares integrating or hibridizing with other media. Though, this theme is not restrictive. A prize will be awarded to open-source sofware that prove to be not only innovatory but also inventive in the present context of music and audio creation. Calendar Call for submissions : February 4th 2010 Submission deadline : April 1st 2010 Admission notification : May 1st 2010 JIM Awards Ceremony : May 20th 2010 info : concours.afim-asso.org JIM2010 : http://jim.afim-asso.org/ocs/index.php/jims/index _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

How can I download the library which contains the t3_timer object
by Camilo Cadavid Corredor 04 Feb '10

04 Feb '10

I need to measure the time difference between 2 bangs. Excuse my ignorance, but the only way I see is using the t_3 timer object, and in its help menu, I find that ther is a t_3 command that doesn't work on my Pd. I guess there's some kind of library where I can get it. Thanx C.

Another Phase Vocoder (sample based)
by Alexandre Porres 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

Dear Folks! I adapted my Live Phase Vocoder Abstraction [LPVoc] to a sample based Phase Vocoder --> [PVoc]. Works with Mono & Stereo, but can be used for more channels. PVoc & LPVoc now come with shy help files, but official manuals are still in their guts. A [LPVoc] was also taken care of... Both abstractions, help files & sound file examples are in the zip file below: http://sites.google.com/site/porres/PhaseVoc.zip Curious fact: [PVoc]'s help has an excerpt of Obama's speech where he says "Let me Express" but, when heard backwards, we clearly hear what he meant: "Serve Satan". Cheers Alex

Re: [PD] float to a signal inlet
by Matteo Sisti Sette 03 Feb '10

> PS: as we all now, the above patch (and it's modern equivalent > [osc~] will produce ugly clicks when used like this; isn't it time > to request a built-in [line~]? Oh my god no!!! I hope you're not serious about that!!!!!! A built in line? With some arbitrary slope? What if one does want to change the frequency in 0 time? (for example because she ensures that the change happens at a zero crossing, or simple because one does want to produce the clicks) Would you have to artificially create a 0-slope signal, using for example [sig~] or some other object, which by the way wouldn't have a built-in line (so the question would arise: which object would deserve a built in line and which ones wouldn't?)??? One fundamental thing in Pd is that it does exactly what you tell it to do (just like any serious programming language). In a "high-level" object such as a "sampler" or "synthesiser" that is suppose to act as a musical instrument, you do expect that the output signal is always "nice", without clicks, whatever it implies. But on a fundamental low-level object such as [osc~] you just expect to have total control over it and that it does nothing more than you tell it... Â¿no? -- Matteo Sisti Sette matteosistisette(a)gmail.com http://www.matteosistisette.com

vu analog style scale?
by ypatios 03 Feb '10

03 Feb '10

hello i understand that for sound level representation in the digital domain, a special dB scale is used: The dB full scale (or dBFS). In this scale 0dB represents the maximum possible magnitude of a sample before clipping (e.g.: |x(n)|=1=0dBFS). I noticed the scale on the vu object and it seems it has an analog look, meaning it has some 12dB "headroom" above 0dB. Now, in most audio software (editors like audacity, plug-ins etc..) level meters go usually to 0dB max, and there is just an indicator to notify when clipping occurs. So what is the use of the analod style scale of vu? Would it be meaningful to offset the incoming values to make use of the visual space above 0dB or would it mess up the scaling? thanks :) -- ypatios

Enrique Tomas and I would like to thank whoever fixed the command line args on OSX in the new 0.42.5 autobuild version! This makes our Linux-style scripting work in OSX. Thanks! -------- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com
