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.

Hi, just a small remark, In testtone.pd it says: " To see Pd's DOCUMENTATION, select "getting started" in the Help menu. " It may have been there in the past, but now there is no such thing as "getting started" in the Help menu. At least not in my installation of 0.42.5-extended... gr, Tim

[PD-announce] gem 0.93.1
by IOhannes zmölnig 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

after a few days of waiting (for you) and hard labour (for me), Gem 0.93.1, the 1st bugfix release for the 0.93 series, has been released today. like always we have fixed numerous bugs and features, and most likely introduced an equal number of wishlists and showstoppers. noteable differences since 0.93.0: functionality bugs: - [pix_film] no longer crashes when sending an "auto" message to it, while no film is loaded - [pix_film]'s "auto" message actually does something - [pix_frei0r] no longer crashes when dynamically instantiating plugins documentation: - [pix_frei0r]/[pix_freeframe] help patches now mention how to dynamically load a plugin at runtime (or change the plugin) - [separator] help patch now explains how to only work on special openGL matrices binaries are available for w32 (installer & zip), for the brave and adventurous there is the source code. binaries for OSX are still not available yet, but we hope to get them online soonish. grab it while it's hot: http://gem.iem.at/releases/0.93.1 alternatively you can get the files from https://sourceforge.net/projects/pd-gem mfgadr IOhannes _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Re: [PD] Problem w/ Gem 0.93.1 on Windows 7
by Patrice Colet 05 Nov '11

hello, pthreadVC.dll is needed by gem.dll, that is because gem is still compiled with MSVC, pd-extended package includes libpthread-2.dll, from mingw binaries, so you need to get pthreadVC.dll, at least it should be provided by gem package. ----- "Epic Jefferson" <jeffreyconcepcion(a)gmail.com> a écrit : > nope, just reinstalled pd-ext 0.42.5 and it doesn't include gem > 0.93.1, it probably should. and I reinstalled Gem 0.93.1 and still get > the same message.

Typewriter effect
by Antonio Roberts 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Is there a way to get a typewriter effect using pd i.e. have letters appear one character at a time? I was thinking I could send the text to [text2d] using [drip] but that just displays one character/word at a time. Cheers, Ant -- 07875 006 245 antonio(a)hellocatfood.com ============================ http://www.hellocatfood.com ============================

obscuring voices while maintaining intelligibility
by Hans-Christoph Steiner 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I'm trying to come up with a simple voice scrambling technique that leaves voices understandable, but makes them unrecognizable. A key part of this is to make it very hard to reverse the scrambling to make the voice more recognizable. I'm currently thinking that a ring modulator would work well for this, and it uses minimal CPU. Can anyone think of a way to reverse the ring modulation? I attached my quick sketch. .hc

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

Keyboard shortcuts for "nudge", "done editing"
by Marvin Humphrey 15 Oct '11

15 Oct '11

Greetings, A couple questions from a PD noob: First, is there any keyboard shortcut to signal "I'm done editing text"? When entering text into an object, a message, etc, it seems that the only way to signal that you are finished is a mouse click outside of the item being edited. I'd like to press a key -- <ESC>, <TAB>, <ENTER>, whatever -- and have the focus leave the text box. Second, is there any keyboard shortcut to "nudge" an element? It would be great to select an object (or a group of objects), then press <LEFT_ARROW> to move it one pixel, or <CONTROL/COMMAND><LEFT_ARROW> to move it 10 pixels (or N pixels). If such things are not possible, I'm curious what other mechanisms people have come up with to streamline the editing process, because it feels like I'm having to touch the mouse waaaaaaay too often and it's slowing me down. It seems I'm not the only person to have made such observations: http://artengine.ca/~catalogue-pd/18-Lee-Bouchard.pdf One obvious shortcoming is that users are required to constantly switch between keyboard and mouse to operate the program. This becomes especially problematic in the context where patches are developed rapidly. I'm using PD Vanilla, built from the latest sources. I'm an experienced open source developer, fluent in C and learning Tcl, so suggestings that involve hacking the source are welcome. Cheers, Marvin Humphrey
