to be precise the line 127.0.0.1 localhost was missing in the file /private/etc/hosts then Pd is just bounces in the dock a few times and then doesn't launch without anything useful in the console or crashreporter logs. we stumbled upon the hosts file issue by coincidence. m.

Webcam recommendations (linux/osx)
by Martin Eckart 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

I'd like to do some live visuals and am looking for a suitable webcam to use with pd in linux (or osx). If possible I'd like to be able to set the focus and zoom manually (since it'll stand only a few inches away from the object). Anyone have recommendations for cameras they've used?

Loop ogg files correctly with oggread?
by Filippo Peccoz 19 Dec '12

19 Dec '12

Hello List, I don't know if this is only my persona experience, but oggread~ always cuts off a portion of the file when looping (using the rightmost "bang when done" outlet for achieving the loop). Is there any way to fully play back an ogg file with this object? Thanks! Filippo Filippo Beck Peccoz Game Audio www.fbpsound.com Twitter: @fbpsound Skype: fbpsound Mobile: +49-(0)1520-4004143

Creating a line in Gem
by Alexandros Drymonitis 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

Hi all, I've been trying to render a line in Gem, so I'm wondering if it's best to use [curve] (which is actually a curve as it indicates), or [rectangle] with a very small x value, so that it looks like a line. My problem is that I want to give this line an angle, so I've been using [shearXY] for now. I also want to make the line grow from nothing to the full desired length, but with [rectangle] it will grow from the middle, so in order to make it grow from the starting point to the ending point, you have to give [rectangle] a continuous x,y offset. This way it's really hard to determine the starting and ending point of the line. So, If for example the x,y coordinates of the starting and ending point are random, then the angle and length will also be random and you'll have to manipulate three different objects simultaneously ([rectangle], [translate] and [shearXY]), and I'm not sure if I can find the formula for all these calculations. Is there an easier technique for this?

is there a kalman filter for pd? (if not I could probably provide one, if I make it :) )

[nbuntil]: an non-blocking [until] replacement
by Roman Haefeli 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

Hi all Audio drop-outs happen, when Pd needs more time to do something than is available (i.e. the configured audio buffer size). The underlying reasons are manifold, often it is because something requiring lots of CPU power is processed in zero logical time. For such of those problems, that can be divided into smaller tasks or those that already are of an iterative nature, [nbuntil] may provide a solution to avoid audio drop-outs. [nbuntil] works similar to the regular [until], but unlike the original, it breaks Pd's principle of "depth first". It measures how much time each iteration requires and delays the next iteration by this time. By employing [nbuntil], many kinds of tasks can be performed without causing drop-outs, that would otherwise block Pd for a certain amount of time. Example applications include loading presets or dynamic creation of parts "in the background". Yet, I use it to pre-calculate a set of tables while audio is running. I could imagine using it to create an emulation of a threaded [soundfiler], though a proof of concept is yet lacking and needs to be created. Contrary to Miller's suggestion of using a [readsf~] in an upsampled subpatch, [nbuntil]'s adaptive approach uses the maximum available CPU power. I'm curios to see whether other people find it useful and even find use cases I haven't thought of yet. Despite its rather simple design, I can't remember having seen this approach discussed here on the list. I'd also be interested if similar or different approaches have been used, but not yet discussed here. I'm currently not in the urgent need of a vanilla pseudo-threaded [soundfiler], but if there is enough interest, I'd be happy to dedicate some time to it (not totally sure, that it would work, though).

Re: [PD] PD & AI
by Marco Donnarumma 17 Dec '12

Hey, I've been using the ANN library. I'm not sure it's still updated nor mantained these days, but it does work well for my purpose. http://puredata.info/search?SearchableText=ann That is, I've been using it to make my instrument (the Xth Sense [1]) detect a performer's muscle states throughout a piece by using 1 sensor only; then, labelling different states, such as still, motion, fast motion, slow motion. It's a basic implementation but useful to create a sensing timeline that changes with the performer behaviours, rather than with fixed time cues. Surely, there is much more to AI which cannot be presently done in Pd, at the best of my knowledge, I might be wrong though. Ben (Bogart) is our guy in this area. What are you using Ben?
