Pd-extended GUI stuck in OS X
by Max 19 Jun '13

19 Jun '13

Dear List, I have this odd issue since a while, and sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes again. Because I couldn't figure it out more specific, I was not filing a bug report about it yet. AFAIK it only affects Pd-extended on OS X. I tried both, the Pd 0.44 and 0.43 branches. These are the symptoms: You can create objects, but then it's impossible to move them around. When you click on a message box, the gray thick border stays there and it's stuck in the "pressed down" state. Restarting Pd or the computer is no remedy, yet it sometimes starts to work normally again. Anyone experiencing the same issue? M.

Is it related to this?: http://puredata.info/docs/tutorials/HowToTurnOffResumeWindowsForPDOnMacOSX1… This is a feature in all versions of OSX from 10.7+ On Jun 18, 2013, at 5:37 PM, pd-list-request(a)iem.at wrote: > From: Philippe Boisnard <philemon1(a)mac.com> > Subject: Re: [PD] Pd-extended GUI stuck in OS X > Date: June 18, 2013 2:32:15 PM EDT > Cc: PD list <pd-list(a)iem.at> > > > Hello Max > > I have the same problem since some weeks > I have posted about that > My solution, when this symptom arrives, it's to trash all preferences in library, and after no problem during some times... > > I don't know why we have soudainly this problem > > cheers > > p -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

changing message value in real time
by Dmitry Morozov 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

hi to everyone! sorry for dumb question is it possible to change message value in realtime? I need to control few objects with the same value. In an attached patch I have 3 time values with 1000ms, but I need to change them realtime with slider for example - is it possible? thanks! dmitry

project announcement Musical Quilt

Hi all, Here it is in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7HbP3xrm6o. Many thanks to the developers. Now where is that donate button... ; ) Here are some implementation details: Like others we have been using functionalized fabrics to create triggers for sound processing. The recent change is migrating from laptop to Beaglebone. I decided to used Ubuntu's OMAP distro (probably would have used Debian if doing it again). Pure Data vanilla installed without incident. Comport and Cyclone packages were installed from tar balls. The Cyclone make file had to be modified to show correct location of some header files. For some reason the usb on the beaglebone is serial port 4. Getting the ubuntu to autologin took a long time to figure out because it's changed so many times. Wrote a simple .c program and modified /etc/init/serial.conf to call it on boot (see here: https://groups.google.com/forum/embed/?place=forum/beagleboard&showsearch=t…). thanks, David

[PD-announce] 2nd CFP: Musical Metacreation Workshop 2013 (MUME2013)
by Graeme McCaig 18 Jun '13

18 Jun '13

====================== CALL FOR PARTICIPATION -- please circulate to interested audiences ====================== ((( MUME 2013 ))) 2nd International Workshop on Musical Metacreation http://www.metacreation.net/mume2013/ Held at the Ninth Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'13) Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts, USA October 14-15, 2013 ---------------------- Deadline for Paper and Demo Submissions: *** July 1, 2013 *** ====================== We are delighted to announce the 2nd International Workshop on Musical Metacreation (MUME2013) to be held October 14 and 15, 2013, in conjunction with the Ninth Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Interactive Digital Entertainment (AIIDE'13). MUME2013 builds on the enthusiastic response and participation we received for the inaugural workshop in 2012, which received 31 submissions, 17 of which were accepted (a 55% acceptance rate). This year the workshop has expanded to 2 days. Thanks to continued progress in artistic and scientific research, a new possibility has emerged in our musical relationship with technology: Generative Music or Musical Metacreation, the design and use of computer music systems which are "creative on their own". Metacreation involves using tools and techniques from artificial intelligence, artificial life, and machine learning, themselves often inspired by cognitive and life sciences. Musical Metacreation suggests exciting new opportunities to enter creative music making: discovery and exploration of novel musical styles and content, collaboration between human performers and creative software "partners", and design of systems in gaming and entertainment that dynamically generate or modify music. MUME brings together artists, practitioners and researchers interested in developing systems that autonomously (or interactively) recognize, learn, represent, compose, complete, accompany, or interpret music. As such, we welcome contributions to the theory or practice of generative music systems and their applications in new media, digital art, and entertainment at large. Join us at MUME2013 and take part in this exciting, growing community! Topics ====== We encourage paper and demo submissions on topics including the following: * Novel representations of musical information * Systems for autonomous or interactive music composition * Systems for automatic generation of expressive musical interpretation * Systems for learning or modelling music style and structure * Systems for intelligently remixing or recombining musical material * Advances or applications of AI, machine learning, and statistical techniques for musical purposes * Advances or applications of evolutionary computing or agent and multiagent-based systems for musical purposes * Computational models of human musical creativity * Techniques and systems for supporting human musical creativity * Online musical systems (i.e. systems with a real-time element) * Adaptive and generative music in video games * Methodologies for, and studies reporting on, evaluation of musical metacreations * Emerging musical styles and approaches to music production and performance involving the use of AI systems * Applications of musical metacreation for digital entertainment: sound design, soundtracks, interactive art, etc. Format and Submissions ====================== The workshop will be a two day event including: * Presentations of FULL TECHNICAL PAPERS (8 pages maximum) * Presentations of POSITION PAPERS and TECHNICAL IN-PROGRESS WORK (5 pages maximum) * Presentations of DEMONSTRATIONS (3 pages maximum) * One or more PANEL SESSIONS (potential topics include international and networked collaborations, evaluation methodologies, industry engagement, generative music in art vs. games) Workshop papers will be published in a Technical Report by AAAI Press and will be archived in the AAAI digital library. Submissions should be made in AAAI, 2-column format; see instructions here: http://www.aaai.org/Publications/Author/author.php For complete details on attendance, submissions and formatting, please visit the workshop website: *** http://www.metacreation.net/mume2013/ *** Important Dates =============== Submission deadline: July 1, 2013 Notification date: August 6, 2013 Accepted author CRC due to AAAI Press: August 14, 2013 Workshop date: October 14-15, 2013 Workshop Organizers =================== Dr. Philippe Pasquier (Workshop Chair) School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada Dr. Arne Eigenfeldt School for the Contemporary Arts Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada Dr. Oliver Bown Design Lab, Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning The University of Sydney, Australia Graeme McCaig (Administration & Publicity Assistant) School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada ---------------------- http://www.metacreation.net/mume2013/ ====================== _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

pd~ in windows
by Jonathan Wilkes 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi, Not sure if I asked this yet ("pd~" is a difficult search term) but there is a macro suggested here to define pipe syntax similar to unix: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.user/28505/ So if it was just put in ascii mode would this make it possible to have the "pd~" object in windows? Thanks, Jonathan

Another option would be to use a cross platform app layer wrapper (base stuff, not gui) that handles the pain for us. OpenFrameworks, for instance, uses Poco which greatly eases threading, etc between Windows & Unix. Of course, it's a C++ library, so that's probably a different story with the Pd core ... For instance, here's the Poco Process class: http://pocoproject.org/docs/Poco.Process.html On Jun 17, 2013, at 6:00 AM, pd-list-request(a)iem.at wrote: > Short digression-- after writing the Flext mingw build tutorial I've become much > more understanding of Sevy's approach of actively not supporting Windows.

pd color presets
by Jonathan Wilkes 17 Jun '13

17 Jun '13

Hi List, Almost finished with a working version of GUI preferences for patches. It allows: 1) choose your own default colors for common types of items on a canvas, like object borders, (non-iemgui) text, xlets, canvas bg, etc. 2) choose a preset from a dropdown list to immediately change all colors to some kind of common theme. I just have "inverted" right now, which is white objects on black bg. But there could be "pd-extended", "vanilla", and whatever else would be nice for quick, two-click access. 3) global array called ::pd_colors that controls the colors. So you can change $::pd_colors(selected) orange and all the canvas items that are tagged as selected will turn orange. (Plus the menubuttons in the gui dialog will update to reflect the new color.) Question 1: How do I hook this into Yvan Volochine's gui-prefs stuff? It currently only saves recent files-- is there a guide on how to add more gui preferences? Question 2: I've seen screenshots of patches where people obviously dug into the c code and changed colors to achieve some scheme. If you have one you'd like to appear in the dropdown list, send me the colors for canvas items and I'll add a preset. These colors don't change any of the dialogs or main Pd window, btw. -Jonathan

multiblob tracking in Gem while objects keep their IDs
by Max 16 Jun '13

16 Jun '13

hi list, a student of mine, Jakob Gomoll, did solve how to track multiple blobs while every blob keeps its ID. Here is where i scratch my head: It works fine until you render the output of the multiblob tracker to a rectangle. I'd like to understand why this is. Is it a bug or a feature? connect the tracker to the pix_texture (where the red line is) and it will mess up the result:
