PD and Smartphones
by Eran Sachs 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hello listers,I have searched the archive and found surprisingly little current info. So I am about to purchase my first Andriod Smartphone. I was thinking of something along the lines of Samsung Galaxy/Note.Ability to use PD is a major consideration. I am mainly interested in using the phone and its features as a controller for my patches (which, btw, use PD and extended GUIs.). Planning to keep processing audio on the ol` PC, so phone's audio performance is of secondary importance. Which device/model works best? Please share your experience, recommendations, suggestions, warnings. Also::: is there a way to actually edit PD-patches on phones? Thankful as always,Zax

Re: [PD] soundhack

Great! Thanks Scott One other question. I recall there is a way to add a path from inside a patch (instead of having to open the path-dialog). Do you know how? Thanks again B ________________________________ From: Scott R.

Darwin is the BSD Unix subsystem of every Mac OS X system. PD refers to these types of files as 'externals'. these are not editable in PD, but they will execute in PD. #3 you should generally put it where i stated before, but i believe you can optionally create a path for PD to look for externals. @ List - was there another way that changed recently how externals were loaded that was different than adding a path in the preferences? i seem to remember something changing about that between 0.42 and 0.43. hope this helps! anyone else want to elaborate? scott On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 6:48 PM, Billy King <billyking856(a)yahoo.ca> wrote: Hello all, >3 related questions: >1.

by Rick T 10 Oct '12

Greetings All I'm running into a strange bug with cup and moses. I've tried it with ubuntu 12.04 64bit linux version .43.3 puredata. And with 10.04 64bit ubuntu linux .42.5 I've posted a youtube video along with the code to see if anybody knows how to fix this or know of a work around. Link to youtube video that shows the strange behaviour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIlxj-MOR0c Link to code http://pastebin.com/pY1Xp0rR Thanks

counting how many times an audio file is looped
by Rick T 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Greetings All I'm trying to count how may times an audio file is looped then cause it to stop after say 6 loops. 1) I plan on using the "select" object to compare the sample size (22050) to where the playing wav file is located 2) create a bang into "cup" object from the "select" object, this will count the number of loops. 3) Use another "select" object to stop when it reaches 6 The problem I'm having is trying to compare the sample size to where the playing wav file is currently located. I can get the sample size using the "wavinfo" object but how do I get the current location of the playing wav file. (I tried using the "metro 50" object with the "snapshot~" object) but the numbers don't seem be matching up Is there another way I should be doing this Thanks

Double sends to pd-list & announce
by Julian Brooks 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi all, Apologies for the noise with my double sends - have just checked the pd-list archives and the messages I sent yesterday to pd-announce show up in the list archives but not the pd-announce archives. Checked the announce archive this morning and there's no sign of my messages so resent them this morning to pd-list. Anyway, sorry. Julian

Audio Preferences device list usability
by Jamie Bullock 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hi, Does anyone know where the device names that populate the Audio Settings preferences panel come from? For example on my Mac, I'm getting things like: (0)Built-in Microph What does "(0)" mean? Not the zero'th device, because for Output devices, both outputs are prefixed with "(0)". Why is "Microphone" truncated to "Microph"? Are these names coming from Portaudio? Or is Pd additionally mangling the names? best, Jamie

[PD-announce] Across the great divide
by Julian Brooks 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Hey all, We recently wrote a paper for The Journal of Music Technology & Education for their 'Open Source Special Issue'. It will be published in the journal imminently and a slightly differently formatted version is in the University of Huddersfield repository: http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/15006/ Abstract here: "Free Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) is licensed to allow users the freedom to copy, reuse, study and develop the software. As a term which efficiently encompasses both ‘free software’ and ‘open-source’ models, FLOSS may offer music practitioners and researchers the opportunity to develop and use such software without becoming mired in a particular stance. In this article, parallels between FLOSS and experimental music are explored, with a view to highlighting their compatibility. Through reflection on the recent composition, recording and distribution of three text scores, this article examines how the application of a FLOSS framework may assist with such work in an academic setting and how FLOSS tools might be utilized in such settings in the future as they become more prevalent, more reliable and more stable." Any comments welcome. All the best, Julian _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce
