pd on web: odds and ends
by Jonathan Wilkes 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi list, A few questions: 1) Where is pdpedia? Is it dead? 2) With webpd: does it ignore objects that won't create? Two reasons: a) it would make it possible for me to integrate webpd into a future Pdpedia and have it work (more or less) for the help patches of internal objects b) that would seem to fit the spirit of a web API 3) Does webpd use both Mozilla's audio api and webkit's web audio API? A demo patch seemed to work ok in Mozilla nightly build without any tweak, which was nice. I think I can get a kind of "Frankenstein" improved Pdpedia going: * there's a canvas-to-svg tcl program that I can use to get svgs of every PDDP help patch. * get Pdpedia to insert webpd script link in each page, then all I need is some sort of play/pause controls and a good number of the signal help patches should be able to produce sound * maybe insert a link for the Pd patch source Then even without javascript enabled, someone should be able to browse online and see the patch, and even cut and paste some text from it on Chrome. Ideally, the svg generation would be automated so we could update/fix help patches and the corresponding svg would get the updates. -Jonathan

Migrate away from Sourceforge?
by Thomas Mayer 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hello, Sourceforge's new owner tries to persuade top projects to use a closed source installer that includes spyware / adware: http://www.gluster.org/2013/08/how-far-the-once-mighty-sourceforge-has-fall… IMHO this in not a good place to host a true free software project any more. Any thoughts on this? Thanks, Thomas -- "In an era when everything can be surveiled, all we have left is politeness." (Major Napier in: Neal Stephenson: The Diamond Age) http://www.residuum.org/

Brickwal Limiter with [limiter~]
by hghoyer 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi List, i´m needing a simple Limiter in front of [dac~], that helps not to get digital Distortion (over digital 0)... There is the object [limiter~], it seems to helb, but i don´t know the ideal arguments for a simple Brickwall-Limiter, only to provide clipping. [limiter~ 0 1]makes two signal inlets for stereo, and it works, but there is also some little distortion. So, what are the perfekt arguments, that everything doesnt´t become louder than 1 rms??? or digital 0??? Thy

repeating data in array or looping the data when reading?
by Ronni Montoya 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi again, I'm creating some structures iterating geos using the "repeat" object. I have tables with data(colors) and I'm applying a different color to each iterated geo. If my array has 20 values (20 colors) and then i iterate 20 times a geo, then each geo is gonna have a different color. But if i iterate 40 times then i will only have the first 20 geos colored and the rest is gonna be black. I was wondering which should be the best approach in pd to solve this problem. I need that instead having black geos i need that it can loop the values in the array , in that way it wouldn't mind to have more iterated geos than values in my array. Other approach i was thinking is creating a large table , and then filling only with 20 color values, and then repeat the data through the whole table. I was wondering which should be the best approach for this? how can i repeat the data of my array? cheers R.

max/pd which is the "right" biquad~ ?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

While in the biquad subject, max to pd translating, I learned that the order and values of coefficients in both don't match... I checked mmb's patches and I see they match pd's native biquad~, but both don't agree to max... Max does suggest a different order of the coefficients in its help file, but what we see in practice is yet some other order, and also some reversal in signs (positive/negative) in a couple of terms. Just wondering, why the hell is that? Anybody? Can't deal with formulas really well, but I see they're supposed to be the same... and I take that from mmb's patches, whose formulas are exactly as depicted in max (although the help from native pd's biquad~ is somewhat different, but seemingly equivalent mathematically) cheers ps. by the way, here's a patch that converts the order of coefficients from "max to pd" #N canvas 150 47 214 262 10; #X obj 32 7 unpack f f f f f; #X obj 125 31 * -1; #X obj 101 55 * -1; #X obj 41 80 pack f f f f f; #X msg 41 115 \$4 \$5 \$3 \$2 \$1; #X obj 32 -23 inlet; #X obj 41 143 outlet; #X text 69 -24 max; #X text 87 143 pd; #X connect 0 0 3 0; #X connect 0 1 3 1; #X connect 0 2 3 2; #X connect 0 3 2 0; #X connect 0 4 1 0; #X connect 1 0 3 4; #X connect 2 0 3 3; #X connect 3 0 4 0; #X connect 4 0 6 0; #X connect 5 0 0 0;

filtercoeff~ / filtergraph~ in Pd?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 02 Sep '13

02 Sep '13

Hi there, now that someone gave me a Max license and I'm translating some patches to Pd, I guess I'm gonna start bugging you guys a lot asking for equivalent objects in Pd ;) And here I ask about [filtercoeff~] and [filtergraph~]... Based on filtergraph~, filtercoef~ calculates filter coefficient for the biquad~ object from frequency, amp & Q. They seem to make it really easier and friendlier to use the [biquad~] object. Maybe this could be worked out as some abstraction, maybe someone already has. The math just blows me away and I have completely no idea whatsoever... Cheers
