Legal restrictions for apps
by Tony Hillerson 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Hey guys, I'm wondering about the restrictions for using Pure Data patches in Android and iOS apps with libpd. I have a rudimentary understanding that if I distribute software that's released under the GPL or LGPL I need to make available my source or at least the object files of my app. As I understand it, from the vanilla distribution contains [expr~], which is LGPL. If I use libpd, I'm distributing it, and I need to make the source or the object files of my apps available. Is that correct? Are there any paid apps that use pd and distribute through Google Play or Appstore? -- Tony Hillerson

tanh() or a compressor?
by Mario Mey 03 Oct '13

03 Oct '13

Now, I am checking volumes of my looper patch. I had to raise [*~ 4] the volume of the mic, to get a razonable volume, compared to a song file, for example. But, using this looper patch, I make beatbox. So, kicks and snares from my mouth get in the mic. And, using a visual array to test it, I realize that the kicks and snares are so much higher volume than the vocals. The patch has FXs with feedbacks, so, they can make signal > 1. So, at the end of the patch, there's [expr tanh($v1)] to to avoid that... tanh() is simpler than a a compressor, but it loose some sounds (I think). Or I should trust in tanh()? Multiple choice: 1- Use tanh() in the input, after adc~ and before dac~. 2- Use a compressor patch in the input, after adc~ (and tanh() before dac~) 3- Use a compressor at the end of the patch, before dac~ 4- Stay as it is now... Also, I can't spend more CPU process... What do you recommend me to use? Thanks.

Weird bug in pd-extended and Ubuntu
by Pierre Massat 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Dear list, I m working on a patch in pd-extended 0.43.4, on a freshly installed Ubuntu 12 LTS. An Arduino Uno board is plugged into my machine. In the attached patch i've been getting very strange bugs : - one instance of [f ] wasn't working the way it should (a bang to its left inlet wouldn't output what had been fed to its right inlet), while the other was behaving fine. - And now I cannot create any new object. Ubuntu crashes (it logs out of my session) when i type the 4th letter in the object box. I also get the following message very often in the console : "ALSA output error (restart failed): Broken pipe" I'm very confused here. Pierre

udpsend not recognised [was Re: [PD-announce] pd 0.45-3 test 1 released]
by peiman khosravi 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

I might be imagining this but I remember a discussion about OSC and one of these test releases, which I can't find now. I'm asking because I cannot get 'udpsend' to be recognised as an object on OS X 10.7.5. I've tried with both pd-extended and installing it manually alongside the vanilla version.

video recording of a gem window
by David Schaffer 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi there, I'm trying to find a way to capture my gem window into a video file. I've been trying pix_record but it seems that it is not what I need. I red about pdp_rec but it is not present in my version of pd-extended (0.43.4 on osX 10.7.5) is it obsolete? Any other object, library that I could use? Thank you very much, David http://www.flickr.com/photos/schafferdavid/ http://audioblog.arteradio.com/David_Schaffer/

Re: [PD] writesf~ time to flush to disk…?
by Dan Wilcox 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Speaking of bangs doing the job, I wish [tabread] had a right outlet that banged when you gave it an out of bound index. I was trying to make a vanilla version of [tabdump] and that would allow me to know when I've read the whole table without needing to know it's size explicitly.

If you don't succeed with [pix_record], you should try with [pix_writer] or [pix_write]. Then use a software to create your movie from several pictures. ++ JackDavid Schaffer <schafferdavid(a)hotmail.com> a écrit :Hi there, I'm trying to find a way to capture my gem window into a video file.

Re: [PD] udpsend not recognised

Are you using import ala [import mrpeach] or invoking the lib path explicitly?

search engine with xapian backend
by Jonathan Wilkes 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Here's a quick demo of some nice changes: https://puredata.info/Members/jancsika/search-plugin-with-xapian.webm/view Sorry about the size of the file-- I can remove some of the old demo builds if it's a problem. Updates: * all metadata fields are searchable using Xapian's field:value syntax. So author:puckette and even outlet_0:pointer can be used by themselves or with free text to refine a search * Want to return all patches that contain an instance of sigmund~? Search for object:sigmund~. Works on exact text without stemming-- e.g., object:clip~ will give different results than object:clip * hand-crafted some descriptive text for all pdf manuals in pd svn. Includes gem manual and others. * formatted escaped commas correctly * added a firefox-style find menu bound to <ctrl-f> * reduced index-build time and database size (both cut roughly in half) * simplified doc search to exclude duplicates (for example, from having extra and extra/Gem in the path) * prettified the "info" icon * use html <title>s for description in search results * parse Gem docs for description and keywords * allow to cancel index building * use libdir libname/object prefix only for libdir results * put name of libdir in description of all readmes and license.txt files * reorganized and simplified the homepage topics * reorganized code and removed some global variable (still ugly, but not as ugly as it used to be) * saved document data to the database as FUDI messages. (Easy to parse if someone wants to make a [docsearch] object...) Next I'm going to work on integrating it into Pd-l2ork, and maybe break out the combobox into toggle buttons. Of course if anyone is an information retrieval specialist feel free to make suggestions. I'm using a bunch of old docs that aren't updated with description info, which is why so many of them have the ugly description note. Most of the new docs have pd meta info. Also, I'm mixing some Pd vanilla and l2ork paths which is why some docs show up twice. (You can see the full path in the status bar at the bottom.) Best, Jonathan
