[PD-announce] Non-Bio Boom Premiere - Musicircus for Xth Sense Biosensing Wearable Tech
by Marco Donnarumma 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

(sorry for x-post) Dear all, I'm glad to inform you about this event. At the moment I'm artist in residence at Inspace, Edinburgh, developing a site specific, multichannel and participatory work for 10 biosensing wearable devices (Xth Sense). The piece will be premiered tomorrow Tuesday along with my other work for biosensing device Music for Flesh II; further info below. ~~~ Inspace is a laboratory that explores the cultural significance of informatics and new media practice. Inspace is home to a joint research partnership between the School of Informatics and New Media Scotland. Tuesday 15th March 2011, 7.30 for 8pm. Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB As a part of our Non-Bio Boom season we are delighted to host a new work development residency by Marco Donnarumma, with Brendan F Doyle (Production Sound Engineering). The residency will conclude with two concerts over the course of one evening for bio-sensing wearable technologies. The first concert will include Music for Flesh II (http://bit.ly/etX0N1), a new solo piece by Marco Donnarumma; the second concert will be the premiere of a multi-channel work specifically created by the artist for Inspace, which will actively involve the audience in an augmented Cagean Musicircus. Admission free, but on-line booking is required: http://xthsense.eventbrite.com/ Xth Sense is an ongoing research project which investigates experimental applications of Open Source based, bio-sensing technologies for musical performance and responsive milieux. The Xth Sense software framework is implemented in Pd. Further information: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com/projects/xth-sense/ Marco Donnarumma is a performer, new media and sonic artist currently interested in critical analysis and development of experimental paradigms for embodied interaction in performative environments. http://marcodonnarumma.com ~~~ Best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma Independent New Media and Sonic Arts Professional, Performer, Instructor ACE, Sound Design MSc by Research (ongoing) The 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 _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] Patch for Akai EWI (was "Reading and writing binary files")

Hi David, > Again, sorry if I caused offense, I didn't mean to. That's no offense at all. I am just a little annoyed with other people like ewi-usb.com (and more of them) who put up information on shiny looking websites (I have one, too, BTW) but publish wrong information and don't seem to care about it. Or companies like Akai who give you no information at all about their products! I'm happy if the patch is helping you. I needed to finish this anyway right now because I am putting the editor into a hardware machine at the moment.

Re: [PD] sending audio panning with 4 speaker setup
by Matt Barber 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Ambisonics isn't necessarily overkill, but it only gets you direction, not distance -- it's only a "1-dimensional" solution, in the sense that you'd be panning around the outside of a circle but not to locations within that circle. It's not terribly CPU expensive. If you do want distance as well you can use some combination of delay, low-pass filtering, and wet-dry mix of any reverb you happen to be using (and if you want to get really ambitious, you can also simulate individual room reflections). This starts to get CPU intensive especially if you're going to be moving sounds around. If they just stay in place, it's not as bad (and the [delwrite~] [vd~] model doesn't actually model moving sources a certain distance from the virtual "microphone" -- it models a moving microphone, so a simple Pd solution isn't quite available).

jack audio pilot
by Coralie Diatkine 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hi everyone I'm a beginner with puredata, and I'm trying to record sounds from other applications via the line input. I'm on os X.6.6, and I use pd-extended. I've downloaded jack os X, and the configuration seems ok to me. I've started jack pilot and launched pd, and every time I try to select an audio pilot (jack or audio port), or when I try to trigger the audio test, pd quits. Does someone have an explanation ? Thanks Coralie -- Coralie Diatkine 96 cours Victor Hugo 33000 Bordeaux 06 35 58 68 27

sending audio panning with 4 speaker setup
by J bz 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

Hey all, So I'm still scratching my head with controlling audio panning in an x,y grid using 4 speakers. What, at first, seemed like a somewhat trivial problem, upon closer inspection ain't necessarily so. Does anyone have examples of panning with 4 speakers? About the only things I have found so far are: Building upon Hans' [pan_core~] [pan_quad~] from 'nSLAM', which seems to be unavailable for d/l The 'pd-tutorial' patch 3-9-3-1-spatial-quadro.pd<http://pd-tutorial.com/english/patches/3-9-3-1-spatial-quadro.pd> Anyone know about any others? My stereo panning is built upon the square root example in Andy Farnell's book, which I'm really happy with. Ideally I would like to expand upon that. Then of course there is the whole vbap/ambisonics/cubemixer (possible overkill) route too. My concerns before diving into this are threefold. 1. If it's only going to work for the 2 people in the 'sweet-spot' then what's the point? If it makes any difference I'm using some Bose 180 degrees radiating speakers. 2. The piece is for a performer with electronics, with only the electronics coming out of the speakers. So I'm also wondering whether a 5.1 type setup with the performer as the front centre speaker (as such), may be preferable? 3. The piece requires 96 separate pan positions - how cpu intensive is that going to be? It currently works fine in stereo, which is why 2 lots of stereo in an x,y fashion seems initially preferable. I'm aware that it's pretty much impossible with this speaker setup to make everyone in the room have a similar audio experience, and also to map my visual masses from an msd swarm in the GEM window as audible points, but surely it is possible to do this as an x,y grid. I also admit that I don't understand the dsp theory necessary to make the x,y, grid idea happen so if anyone has some pointers regarding that I would be delighted. Cheers, Jb

[SHARE][PYEXT] preset management
by Yvan Volochine 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

hallo, after spending the w-end being curious about python in pd, I did as an exercise a preset manager with excellent [pyext]. patch/abstractions txt files are parsed (sic =) to find UI objects with valid send/receive symbols that are going to be saved. it might not be the most elegant python code ever but anyway, for the curious, you can grab the script and help file there: http://github.com/gusano/pd_stuffs note that this was only tested on pd-0.43.0test3, python 2.7 and latest [py] svn on linux comments and bug reports are welcome ! cheers, _y

[pyext] [bug] nbx doesn't respond to bang sent by a py script
by Yvan Volochine 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

hi I don't know if it's worth reporting this but just in case... if I bind [nbx] to a `recv' method in a py script, it does not output its value after receiving a bang from the script. attached is debug_nbx.py and debug.pd patch to show the behavior. anyway, thanks for the good work, py/pyext is amazing ;) cheers, _y

[pyext] sending a bang to an object
by Yvan Volochine 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

hi just wondering how I could send a bang to an object with [pyext] ? I tryed: self._send(rcvname, "bang") but of course I get the error 'No method for symbol' because my object receives the *string* "bang" is there any workaround for this ? what I try to achieve is get the current value of this object, so I thought about binding it and sending it a bang. maybe there is a way to retrieve the current value of this object directly with some method I overlooked ? like: self._receive(sndname) that would be nice =) cheers, _y
