IPA Vowel space analyzer
by Ludwig Maes 20 Feb '12

20 Feb '12

Hi, I was wondering how one would locate a vowel in the IPA vowel quadrangle using pd... Of course I would expect the corners of the vowel to depend on individual characteristics, but I dont know where to start. Anyone any ideas? Greetings, Ludwig

Re: [PD] Patching in fragments
by Jonathan Wilkes 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Cool. When I use the keyboard shortcut "o", something seems different about [osc~] but I can't quite put my finger on it (see attached) :) Is there a way for the Tcl plugin to tell pd to use the key bindings only in editmode, and only when there isn't an active cursor in an object or message box? Also, can the Tcl plugin do things like dangle the object from the mouse pointer (without using the mouse message hack) and remove the object (without the cut message hack)? The behavior I'm after is this: 1) click the shortcut key and the object fragment dangles from the mouse(or it gets put on the canvas and is selected). 2) if the same key is pressed again, that object is removed and the next object fragment associated with that key dangles from the mouse (or gets put on the canvas, selected). 3) if a different shortcut key is pressed, the fragment gets put on the canvas (unselected) and the new fragment dangles from the mouse. I can get that behavior in my abstraction, but it messes with the clipboard data, plus it's dangerous because if you have part of your patch selected and you hit a shortcut key that part of the patch is lost (and you can't undo it!). -Jonathan --- On Fri, 1/8/10, Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans(a)at.or.at> wrote: > From: Hans-Christoph Steiner <hans(a)at.or.at> > Subject: Re: [PD] Patching in fragments > To: "Jonathan Wilkes" <jancsika(a)yahoo.com> > Cc: "PD List" <pd-list(a)iem.at> > Date: Friday, January 8, 2010, 6:48 AM > > Looks promising.

Re: [PD] IP address in windows?

I've tried on windows vista it works like a charm: Microsoft Windows [version 6.0.6002] Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation. Tous droits réservés.

CVs
by Josh Moore 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

I just got out of a long and heated argument with someone who claimed he was an EE and told me that digital synthesizers use CVs. I tried to explain to him that if they did, it would be ONLY a numerical conversion so he was wrong and he still insisted that digital synthesizers used CVs. Has anyone had this kind of experience?

pix_set / pix_gain weirdness
by Matteo Sisti Sette 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi, I get some strange behaviour with the attached patch which is basically: [gemhead] | | | [0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 ( | | [pix_set] | | | \ // numbox attached to the second i.e. "common" inlet | | [pix_gain 1] | [pix_texture] | [rectangle] 1) When I send a new value to pix_gain's inlet, the output is not updated until I re-send the pixel color values to pix_set. 2) If I modify the pix_gain object and change its creation argument (which means the object is recreated), the pix_set seems to be reset as well: the rectangle resets to white, as if the pix_set objet was recreated. I have to re-send the pixel values to pix_set. After doing this, the pixel colors are as expected and the gain is applied correctly Why doesn't the pix_gain update its output when a new value of the gain is applied? Why does pix_set reset when I recreate the pix_gain object? Is all this expected behaviour and I am missing something? thanks m.

pduino test patch: "old analog/digital controls"
by Matteo Sisti Sette 24 Nov '11

24 Nov '11

Hi, In the Pduino test patch ("arduino-test.pd") there is a subpatch called "old analog/digital controls". This includes a series of toggles which send the message "analogIns X Y" (where X is the analog pin to enable/disable and Y is either 0 or 1). With the version I'm testing (which is Firmata 2.1 on an Arduino Duemilanove) those messages are actually needed in order to get the analog inputs to work. Maybe those messages aren't needed with Firmata 2.2? That would explain the "old" in the subpatch name. Thanks m.

help browser resize + guiplugins organization
by Charles Goyard 18 Oct '11

18 Oct '11

Hi list, I'm learning pd (so far the only serious thing I did is a video source selector for live/playback/blackout display cropped in a circle), so I spend a lot of time in the help browser. Today I ended up frustrated by how small is that window. So I modified help_window.tcl to be able to resize it vertically. Then I turned it in a guiplugin. Here's the oh-so-complex code as a guiplugin: # let the user decide the size of the help browser bind HelpBrowser <Map> { wm resizable .help_browser 0 1 pack .help_browser.frame -expand 1 } (Just wondering: why is this window fixed size in the first place ?) Also I had a more general question about these plugins: is/will there be some place to centralize them or should every bugger like me post snippets on the list ? Cheers, -- Charlot

Arduino UNO how-to in puredata.info
by Pierre Massat 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Hi all, I've created a page in the Documentation folder to help arduino UNO owner fix their board if they need to use it in Linux (assuming that Pd users who need an interface to control Pd also need low-latency, and most probably use a linux machine). It's here : http://puredata.info/docs/GettingArduinoUNOToWorkInLinux/ Mr. Steiner helped me with the formatting! I think it lacks a link to Pduino, at least. Please let me know if you think that this really doesn't fit in the website. I believe it does. Cheers! Pierre
