Thanks for your reply Michael. This thread about audio output looks very interesting. I'm not trying to quit smoking at all.

Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi
by Pierre Massat 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi all, I succesfully ran Pd on a headless Raspberry Pi (which is no big feat per se. I've written a tutorial here : http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/running-pd-on-a-headless-ras…), but i'm getting a really heavily distorted sound from the analog output. No idea why... Any experience to share? Cheers, Pierre.

Open midi files in PD Vanilla?
by Filippo Beck Peccoz 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Hi list, copying here a puredata forum post which remained unanswered- hope someone can help :) after searching around the forums and the net I decided to post this question here.. I'm using PD as the audio engine for a mobile game (using libpd, and therefore "only" Vanilla objects). This is very exciting, and I'm exploring all the possibilities for composition and realtime sound generation. One big thing I wanted to include is the possibility of reading midi files inside the patch, and pipe the data to envelopes and oscillators accordingly. Extended apparently has the "seq" object, but how about Vanilla? Is there a way to "import" a .mid file into a patch? Thank you all for helping a greenhorn out :=) Filippo

[PD-announce] Fwd: [cec-c] Concordia University, Montreal, Fulltime position in Electroacoustic Studies
by Eldad Tsabary 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Begin forwarded message: > From: Kevin Austin <kevin.austin(a)videotron.ca> > Subject: [cec-c] Concordia University, Montreal, Fulltime position in Electroacoustic Studies > Date: 20 August, 2012 12:01:57 AM EDT > > Please feel free to distribute. > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > > > > DEPARTMENT OF MUSIC > FACULTY OF FINE ARTS, CONCORDIA UNIVERSITY > > Tenure-Track Faculty Position in Electroacoustic Studies > > Concordia University’s Department of Music invites applications for one tenure-track position in Electroacoustic Studies for July 1, 2013. > > • The department is known for its focus on creative practices in contemporary and classical music, jazz and electroacoustic studies. We also offer music performance (instrumental and vocal) and theory and composition as areas of concentrated study, all built around a core curriculum of general music instruction. Situated in Concordia’s vibrant Faculty of Fine Arts, faculty and students enjoy numerous cross-disciplinary opportunities, state-of-the-art resources and facilities, and a rich artistic and cultural context for research and study. Interfaces between music and other Fine Arts departments include links and collaborations with dance, theatre, animation, film, creative arts therapies, music therapy, and others. Music faculty members are well known internationally for their active contributions to research/creation, conference organization, composition, pedagogy and performance. > > The BFA Major in Electroacoustic Studies, one of the few of its kind in North America, attracts increasing numbers of strong candidates. A recent move into new facilities in downtown Montreal has meant several new, dedicated studios; easier access to other facilities within the Faculty; and has placed the program at the core of Montreal’s dynamic cultural life where electroacoustic work flourishes. A well-organized curriculum provides students with a balance of technological guidance, creative work, critical listening, and awareness of both history and current theoretical research. Recent developments include increased live performance, a laptop orchestra, networked telematics concerts, and collaborations especially with animation and contemporary dance. > > > •• The successful candidate will be expected to teach a range of Electroacoustic courses, with a particular emphasis on ear training. Specifically, the successful candidate will be expected to teach and coordinate core ear training, as well as live, mixed, interactive, and computer-assisted performance In an increasingly connected and collaborative world, the successful candidate will be expected to contribute to other areas within and beyond the music department; therefore, besides top-flight electroacoustic skills, a certain amount of background in one or more other realms of music, or other fine arts, is desired. Besides teaching, additional expectations are: to develop a national and international research profile in the candidate’s area of expertise; to undertake administrative service; and to help strengthen links with cognate units in the university and city, such as matralab, Hexagram and other entities. > > > ••• Preferred candidates should demonstrate expertise in the area of electroacoustic ear training and practice; have an active research/creation profile in the domain of live, interactive, and/or mixed performance; an excellent knowledge of current trends in relevant software and hardware developments; and evidence of artistic endeavours in the field. We are looking for an excellent teacher with very broad interests encompassing creative, conceptual, technological, historical and future-oriented issues. > > > •••• Applicants should possess a completed PhD; teaching experience at the post-secondary level; a demonstrated ability to conduct and disseminate innovative research; and a record of administrative and committee service. Although classes are taught in English, fluency in French would be considered a strong asset, with additional languages welcome. > > > ••••• Submissions should include a covering letter, a curriculum vitae, research documentation, a statement of teaching philosophy and interests, evidence of teaching effectiveness (including course evaluations where applicable), documentation of past and current performance works, and the names and contact information of three referees, one of which must be the candidate’s department chair or dean or someone in a direct supervisory role. > > Applications should be submitted or postmarked on or before November 1, 2012 to: > > > Mailing address: > > Dr Christine Beckett, Acting Chair, Department of Music > Concordia University > 1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. West, GM 500.01, > Montreal, Quebec, H3G 1M8 > Canada > > Email: chair.music(a)concordia.ca > > > Civic address for in-person and courier delivery: > > GM Building, Sir George Williams Campus > 1550 De Maisonneuve Blvd. West, GM 500.01, > Montreal, Quebec, H3G 1N2 > Canada > > > For further information, applicants are encouraged to consult: > > Department of Music: http://music.concordia.ca/ > > matralab: http://matralab.hexagram.ca/home/ > > Hexagram-Concordia information: http://finearts.concordia.ca/research/centres/index.php#hexagram > > Faculty of Fine Arts: http://finearts.concordia.ca > > Academic Services for Fine Arts Faculty: http://finearts.concordia.ca/HTML/acadfac.htm/ > > > > Subject to budgetary approval, we anticipate filling this position, normally at the rank of Assistant Professor, for July 1, 2013.

[PD-announce] SIMULTAN 2012 | call for video submissions | deadline 15 sept. 2012

SIMULTAN 2012 - CALL FOR VIDEO WORKS ----------------------------- SIMULTAN FESTIVAL #8 | 'The beginning of the end' 11-13 october 2012 timisoara, romania Deadline: 15 september 2012 ----------------------------- http://www.simultan.org/en/2012/callforentry.htm FESTIVAL INFO AND THEME SIMULTAN is a festival dedicated to media art and artistic experiment, which aims to create a bond between different media and encourage new and innovative forms of artistic expression, in the field of visual, sound art and music Based on a different theme every year, the festival presents video art projections, music live performances, interdisciplinary works, installations, lectures. The 8th edition of the Simultan Festival will take place from October 11 to 13, under the title 'The Beginning of The End' (TBOTE). This theme wishes to reflect upon the phenomenon 2012, which includes a set of cataclysmic or processing assumptions. 2012 is considered the year of changes, different Conspiracy theories were born about the apocalypse and the end of the world - those beliefs or speculations are related to the long Mesoamerican calendar, according to which a cycle ends in the history of Earth and mankind. A New Age interpretation of this transition would be that this date marks the beginning of a new era, a positive physical or spiritual transformation, abandoning reliance on the material level, allowing humanity to enter a new era, one of universal harmony. Scientists have rejected proposals like pseudoscience, stating that it conflicts with simple astronomical observations and targets distraction from more important issues such as global warming and biodiversity loss. These theories seem distant and unclear in relation to the pressure of the present and the uncertainty of the near future. 'The Beginning of The End' is questioning how this transformation process is perceived by the individual in the present socio-political and economical context, how we think this interpretation affects our present. This is the question that this situation is rising inside us. TERMS OF ENTRY Simultan is open for submissions of innovative works, which use technology in a creative, ingenious way or are based on a peculiar, unusual story. - categories: video, experimental video, fiction, documentary, experimental documentary, motion graphics, experimental animation, digital/generative. - number of works: max 2 / author - duration: maximum 10 minutes each APPLICATION METHOD - online or by post DEADLINE 15 september 2012 MORE INFO AND APPLICATION FORM http://www.simultan.org/en/2012/callforentry.htm ----------------------------- www.simultan.org <http://www.simultan.org/> - www.facebook.com/simultanfestival www.twitter.com/simultan_org _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

libPD and Unity status?
by Scott R. Looney 24 Aug '12

24 Aug '12

hey listers. i realize this isn't the libPD list, but has anyone got PD or libPD working with Unity3D Free? alpha build, beta build, whatever. i know tebjan over on the PdEverywhere list created a version of libpd with C# bindings, but i've no idea as to what to do to make it work on a Mac, as there is no documentation. i've heard precious little since then. patrick sebastien got it to barely work on PC i believe. anyone else have any idea? i've been in contact with someone who claims it's working fine, but hasn't released anything so far to check out, and i know Henk Boom uses it in Fract but i haven't heard anything there either. he was supposed to detail a blog about it 'soon' back in March when i last asked. any help, links or methods appreciated. i am aware of the Mu project by Virginia Tech and may try that, but that involves PD and not libPD. the goal here is to use libPD as the sound engine inside the Xcode or Android project exported build instead of the default FMOD engine. thanks for any and all infos links etc, scott
