[readanysf~] refuse 96kbps ogg's!?!
by Raphael Raccuia 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi list, all in the title... I tried different types (mp3, wav, ogg, at different rates and frequencies...) Some didn't passed: "Invalid file or unsupported codec". The only relation I found on 12 ogg files, the five that didn't passed was at 96kbps rate. [readanysf~] seems a bit unstable: if I [open a_file( and then "compute audio", pd crashes (quit). Is it a problem to use four instances of the object in a patch? I'm building a multiple player for a performance... I'm on Ubuntu Lucid, PD-ext 0.42.5 (from repo), last [readanysf~] from rdz-ppa (had to move it from pd directory to pd-extended)... Thank's for your help...

[PD-announce] [Pd-announce] mediagrid v0.1
by Husk 00 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

Hi list, just to share this abstraction I'm using in my recent patches. Mediagrid is a graphical file chooser. It is based on videogrid external from Sergi Lario and Lluis Gomez i Bigorda. Apart to be an abstraction and not an external, the main difference is that mediagrid is cross-platform and you can manage audio file also and no just video or images. Here more infos and download: https://code.autistici.org/trac/planetQ/wiki/mediagrid cheers husk -- when Art become pratical we call it technology. When Technology become useless we call it Art www.estereotips.net _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] unix and (bad) companies.

HI there.. I just want to "share" my experiences with Os´s.. I started in the nineties with a windows machine, I tried 95, 98, millenium, nt, xp.... It hanged really frequently (20 times in a day w cad software..) so I assumed that as a normal function state from the machine.. At some point I tried beOS and I found it great but I couldn´t do anything w it.. years later, I discovered that computers with the fruit thing and I was really amazed, not just because of the stabilty (but still one or two hangs per day with os 9.2), also because I could do audio in real-time with them.. (well, coming from that windows nightmare, even a gameboy was fascinating..) Then I got one.. and until the day, I´ve been using all the Os´s and also tried almost all the hardware that was/is in the market. My experience with linux (about 4 years ago, ethic/curiosity ) started very slow, but definitely in an ascendent curve of satisfaction & admiration.. Nowadays to code and to travel, I use a small thinkpad with ubuntu 10 and the experience is just fantastic.. It´s actually so good that I´m starting to hate all the mac shits.. Because when you know where linux cames from and who works on it, you can understand that sometimes you have to put energy on your side to look for a driver or whatever (Not the case at all w ubu 10). What I can´t understand.... Is that this big companies (micr/appl) with hundred or "thousands" of good programmers working for them, are still doing crap... (seems that they are focusing energies in making money & trying to protect his soft/hard instead of making good code...) yesterday I formatted my mac and I installed the last system (10.6 ). There´s a known bug on it that not just doesn´t connect to internet, it also keeps sending packets to the router until the router stops working,,,, (???). I had to reset the router from the linux and download one by one the system updates for the mac. This bug is known since 10.6.0, I already have the 10.6.4 and the bug it´s still not solved completely.,.. (???????) This just shows that It doesn´t matter how many hundreds of related posts you do in the official apple forums & related.. apple just don´t give a shit about the problems of the users.... (specially if your hardware it´s not brand new...). The ubuntu forums are far more clear and helpful than that,, About windows, I will not complain anymore... (not neccesary), but I still "understand" people that uses it, because there´s people that doesn´t care about computers (even when they are working w them..) what I do, when I´m teaching a workshop Is to carry one or two usb sticks with a live distro (pure dyne / openartist ) and invite the people to try a "truly" operative system.. many of my friends, they have switched to Linux (at least partially..) and they are happy w it.. (that makes me happy too..). If the trajectories of the operative systems evolutions follow as they are already, It wouldn´t sound strange to me that in some years, the amount of linux users (pure or mixed) will increase massively. To finish, I would just like to thank to all the linux developers / contributors for his hard work to make this incredibly operative system.

[route] object confusion
by Tyler Leavitt 29 Sep '10

29 Sep '10

hello all, this should be a basic question for probably the majority of you, but i'm a n00b so here goes. i'm working with the [plugin~] object and want to use a [popup] object to make it more manageable. so my idea was pretty elementary [listplugins( ---- [plugin~]-------[route label]-----[append $1(------[popup] my error is "$1: argument number out of range" so i'm pretty sure it is expecting a float and getting a symbol. i'm sure this is a pretty basic p:d concept but i can't grasp how to send a message with a variable symbol coming in, if that makes sense. i need to be sending [append PhaserII( or something similar. when i [print] the [route label] i get the PhaserII, but it's not passing that along in the append message. i hope you can help, if my explanation was not too confusing =) thanks tyler

find tempo
by patko 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hello, I'm looking for tricks or abstractions for finding the tempo of polyphonic musical sentences. I'm planning to use several instances of [bonk~] with settings that matches patterns from at least eight differents spectrum bandwidthes, following some algorithms described in this paper: http://igitur-archive.library.uu.nl/math/2006-0727-200320/Typke_04_search-m… But before writing some code I'd like to know if such project has been already done. I've used long ago an external that is able to find out a tempo following a musical sentence, I'd be glad to look at sourcefiles, for reproducing this work with pd internals, but don't remember the name.

Hi List, What is the best recipe for low latency, using a laptop with no ieee1394 (firewire) and only USB under Windows or Linux? Metastudio 4 for Pure Data - coming soon!!

Arguments given to this abstraction, like [freq-seq $0 500], can be retrieved as a float or a symbol (when it contains characters) under the variable name $1 $2 $3 ..... $n when you have n arguments... But you might want to look into pd/doc/2.control.examples, particulary 14.dollarsigns > > -- > JM Jones -- Patrice Colet
