[PD-announce] Regenwald 2011: workshop/installation/performance @ Club Transmediale Berlin
by Derek Holzer 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Regenwald 2011: a workshop/installation/performance in the spirit of David Tudor for Club Transmediale Berlin with Derek Holzer (USA/DE) & Mads Bech Paluszewski (DK) Direct links: http://macumbista.net/?p=2018 http://www.clubtransmediale.de/ctm-festival/day-program/regenwald-2011.html *Overview* Regenwald 2011 is a contemporary re-interpretation of David Tudor’s series of compositions from the 1970′s entitled “Rainforest”. It uses various types of sonic transducers to play live sounds through various resonant objects in the performance space, as well as through architectural features of the space itself. Additionally, an 8×8 matrix mixer allows the sound from any of the objects to be sent to any of the performers, making the whole piece an experiment in generative chaos. Regenwald 2011 will be developed in a workshop format with up to 8 participants over a period of several days. The resulting work should shift between relatively static installation-like moments and performative sections where the artists seek new relationships with the objects and each other. The audience is free to move around the performance space, engage in conversations and explore the resonant objects, thus adding new life to the rainforest. A opening night presentation will introduce the concept of Regenwald 2011 and the context of “Schematic as Score” as seen in the works of both David Tudor and John Cage. *Documentation* A rough schematic of a previous transducer system (Regenskog 2010) can be seen here: http://macumbista.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/regnskog_notext.png Documentation of Regenskog 2010 can be found here: http://macumbista.net/?p=1840 *Dates* 28 January – 01 February, 12-19:00 daily: Regenwald 2011 workshop in West Germany, Kottbusser Tor, Berlin 01 February 21:00: opening Regenwald 2011 presentation/performance, West Germany, Kottbusser Tor, Berlin 02 February – 05 February 18-22:00 daily: Regenwald 2011 installation, West Germany, Kottbusser Tor, Berlin *Participate* The Regenwald 2011 workshop is open for 8 participants who will be selected and notified on or before 16 January 2011. There is no fee to participate. Applying participants should be: –Comfortable working in a collaborative environment –Knowledgeable in the basics of acoustics –Proficient in one or more chosen analog or digital sound instruments and/or systems for working with sound –Capable of bringing any equipment they require beyond the basics of the transducer system (instruments, mixers, computers, etc etc) Please send an email to regenwald2011(a)clubtransmediale.de by 12 January with the following information: –Name, location and short bio (max 100 words) –Short statement of interest (max 300 words) –Short description of your chosen instrument or system (max 300 words) –Links to audio/video documentation of one solo work and one collaborative work you have made *Workshop Leaders* Derek Holzer (1972) is an American sound artist living in Berlin, whose current interests include DIY analog electronics, sound art, field recording and the meeting points of electroacoustic, noise, improv and extreme music. He has played live experimental sound, as well as taught workshops in noise art technology, across Europe, North America, Brazil and New Zealand. http://www.macumbista.net Danish sound artist and cultural producer Mads Bech Paluszewski (1977) works with circuit bending, sound installations, tactile acoustics and performances from his Copenhagen base.

question about clip and reverb
by ronni montoya 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Hello, i like the distorsion effect that i get when i turn up the amplitude of a freeverb~ until it clips the signal. The sound is interesting but the problem is that since its clipping it affects all the other sound pd is generating. My question is: How can i replicate that distorsion effect in a way that it doesnt affect the others sounds? Is there a external that recreates that type of distorsion? thanks R.

hi, the above digest is the last one i have received (jan 3rd). now i am wondering, if the list is down or my mail not functioning properly? (note: as i am receiving digests only, i notice, that a reply probably won´t make it either to me... but trying to look up the listserver: http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list also yields no connection. missing my daily read... hans www.hans-w-koch.net

Pd-X update confusion
by Kim Cascone 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I am now just getting back into pd mode since Sept and I just recently upgraded Ubuntu from 9.04 -> 10.10 which needed a kernel broadcom wifi driver tweak I installed the 'PD-0.42.5-extended-20101205' using the .deb package (because it works perfectly on my Dell mini9 (which I use as a test sandbox)) I tested all my Linux audio apps on Ubuntu 10.10 (my config is in the sig at the end of this email) and every one checked out OK except for baudline which wasn't working with ALSA the reason it wasn't working with ALSA - as related to me by the developer - was that 'Ubuntu 10.10 removed kernel ALSA OSS emulation' but baudline does work with Jack' so I'm having a lot of problems getting Pd set up the way it was on my 9.04 system which was working fine up until my upgrade I have a few questions related to problems that are causing much confusion: problem #1: =========== no audio via ALSA - I open the Audio Settings panel, point my settings to my USB card, click save, apply - open and start the Test Audio patch - there is no audio - the console doesn't say anything about trying to find or connect to an audio device - re-open the Audio settings panel and the settings are all switched back to my 'nanokontrol' the ~/.pdextended file says: noaudioin: True noaudioout: True I try the same procedure with Jack and there is audio and ALSA midi also seems to work fine is there a problem with ALSA and Pd now due to the removal of ALSA OSS emulation? problem #2: =========== Libraries are not loading - all the libraries that were installed with 0.42.5 are not found even though they are listed in the .pdextended file - I read on the Pd FAQ page that '.pdextended' is the file where all the paths are stored but I was using Pd extended in my studio and all my paths (I think) were in the '.pdsettings' file which supposedly was used only by the pd plain vanilla version - was there a change made to the settings file name between Sept and now? - and is there a simpler way of re-constituting my paths other than doing it by hand? can someone point me to something that can bring me up to date on changes since Sept? a change log or something? any/all help is very appreciated!! oh yeah, happy new year! -- *my Linux audio perf config:* Dell Studio 15 Core2 Duo 2.0GHz 3G-RAM Ubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35-24-generic jackd version jackdmp 1.9.6 Ardour 2.8.11 Pd version 0.42.5-extended USB iMic audio interface Korg nanoKontrol cpufreq-set - both cpu's are set to 2.0GHz and userspace

Hello list, along with wish you a happy new year, I wonder if pd is available for 64-bit ubuntu, I remember once downloaded from the Hans website, is not in the pd site ... why?. Would like to install a new computer ... Best regards José -- http://arselectronicachile.blogspot.com http://comunicacionnativa.blogspot.com/ http://www.myspace.com/santorcuato

wiimote external and balance board - a quick test
by Athos Bacchiocchi 03 Jan '11

03 Jan '11

I installed wiimote external using the rdz repository (https://launchpad.net/~reduzierer/+archive/rdz-pd-extra+deps) i use pd-extended, so i had to add the path and the startup command manually. i created an object, and played with wiimote-help. everything ok with the wiimote itself. Then i tried the balance board. I see it's still untested, and in fact it doesn't work properly. The balance board has a white button that only flashes for half a second when pressed, and a red button close to the batteries. I tought i could use the white button like the 1+2 on the wiimote, to put the board in discoverable mode. It didn't work, so i tried with the red button. It makes the blue light on the white button blink for a while, and if press the "discover" message connected to [wiimote] object, i receive this outuput in the main window: wiimote 6 is successfully connected Retrieved wiimote calibration: zero=(00,00,00) one=(00,00,00) MotionPlus controller attached. (the number of the wiimote changes at every connection, increasing i guess) So, the board is recognized as a wiimotionplus. In fact, in the Balance subpatch, there's no response at all. Instead in the MotionPlus subpatch i can see the Pitch and the Yaw bars moving as i stand and move on the board (the roll bar seems stable and just affected by some kind of noise). Maybe this can be of some help for the developers, i can make more tests if needed. athos bacchiocchi PS: i would also like to know more about the "retrieved wiimote calibration..." stuff. i see it appears with the wiimote as well... what is it?

PD L2Ork 20101229 snapshot now available
by Ivica Ico Bukvic 02 Jan '11

02 Jan '11

Please excuse cross-posting. Dear friends and fellow FOSS enthusiasts, It is my great pleasure to share with the community a belated Holiday present :-) in a form of latest snapshot of L2Ork iteration of Pure-Data. Better than ever, the latest version comes with the following improvements: *implemented apply undo for array properties and partially implemented apply undo for graph-on-parent object properties (does not apply to abstractions or top-level windows currently until I figure out how to address the indexing of toplevel windows inside the glist as well as how to address to which window such an undo belongs). *properties are disabled when right-clicking on an abstraction as modifying its settings externally does not make sense when one does not see the actual contents inside it. So, to edit the properties of an abstraction, one has to open the actual abstraction. *fixed how new arrays are created so that they always fit within the specified boundaries. Please note arrays that have been already created in prior patches remain untouched in terms of graph auto-resizing (legacy code is provided in g_editor.c canvas_vis that deals with this if anyone wishes to convert their arrays but is incomplete in that it assumes all arrays require resizing--this is however unnecessary as simple recreation of said arrays or manual readjustment of their settings ought to do the trick. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *fixed how arrays deal with moving array points via mouse by restricting them within the array bounds--this should work for all gui-driven array operations, while array alterations via snapshots and other external ways of manipulating arrays remain unbound so as to allow for traditional data-flow debugging--this may change down the road in part due to introduction of the magicGlass option and in part due to belief that data monitoring should only report ranges specified by the graph. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *added new feature for arrays where they report a bang through the <arrayname>_changed send (if one is provided) whenever they have been altered by a mouse click'n'drag--this in conjunction with array graph auto-resizing makes arrays formidable alternatives for multisliders. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *when an array subpatch is opened and resized, the array automatically now resizes to properly fill the window. -This feature needs further testing--feedback is most appreciated. *fixed where array was not visible after reopening the patch if any of its points touched upon y graph limits. *fixed couple of segfaults caused by gridflow incompatibility--more problems remain with gridflow library compatibility, likely due to widgetbehavior and possibly also magicGlass incompatibility. Further investigation is necessary. *fixed memory leak in the disis_phasor~ external where the destructor was never properly called and updated its documentation (available in the l2ork_addons package). *fixed highlighting of signal nlets where nlet would revert to non-signal appearance after being highlighted/connected. *reintroduced array listview (this was a regression in respect to pd-extended). *improved appearance of the array listview. *fixed a few broken links in the pddp documentation and added new l2ork-specific array features to the pddp documentation. Latest snapshot is available from the usual place: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/main/?page_id=56 Complete changelog since 11/25/2010 is available here: http://l2ork.music.vt.edu/data/pd/Changelog Happy belated Holidays! Best wishes, Ico
