was confused about $1 in messages; finding last error
by rolfm＠dds.nl 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

thanks everyone for answering, and for explaining my persistent blind spot. i stumbled over it, because of a patch which gave continuously an error message "no method for 'abc'". but 'finding last error' always said 'sorry...'. my question: is there any useful (hidden) info in this message/fact, that Pd sees the error but can't tell where it happened? rolf

display image from google search?
by Oded Ben-Tal 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Oh wise Pd users! I am wondering if it is possible to so have Pd do search-by-image on google and then display a selected image from the result (using Gem). Any ideas how to accomplish that (or something similar. It doesn't have to be google search) would be welcome Oded

gametrak question

Does anyone know if there is a way of connecting the gametrak to pd without modifying the hardware itself? Many Thanks Peiman *www.peimankhosravi.co.uk <http://www.peimankhosravi.co.uk> || RSS Feed <http://peimankhosravi.co.uk/miscposts.rss> || Concert News <http://spectralkimia.wordpress.com/>*

keeping the list in the loop (for archive): you should see something like this in the pd console: ------------------------------------------------ py/pyext 0.2.2 - python script objects (C)2002-2011 Thomas Grill - http://grrrr.org/ext using Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2013, 20:13:52) [GCC 4.6.3] Python array support enabled ------------------------------------------------ error in pyext script will also be displayed there. for example, maybe you miss some python modules to run the script: from urllib import FancyURLopener import urllib2 import simplejson import urlparse import urllib import imghdr good luck

Yes, but it has to be a Gametrak for PC. The Gametrak for PS2 *will not* show up as an HID device when plugged into a computer.

I used the one distributed with a computer game for PC, and these seem to work out-of-da-box. This _could_ be one of these units (i am not liable for it not working!) :) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mad-Catz-GameTrak-Real-World-Golf-Video-Game-For-PC…

[OT] invitation to take part in research study
by Pedro Ângelo 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Dear friends, I apologise in advance for any duplicate copies of this email you might receive. As part of my PHD research on heterogeneous systems and creativity I'm running an online questionnaire about the needs and work practices of artists and creatives who develop technology-based projects with a special focus on interactive systems as those used in art installations and live performance: http://goo.gl/PLTMRd I would like to kindly ask for your help with this work, both by responding to the questionnaire and by spreading the word about it to people and collectives you feel might have an interesting contribution to this effort. If you'd like to have a bit more info about it, I've also written a small blog post outlining the context and motivation for this study: http://dataflower.org/blog/collaborative-practices-in-creative-computing/ Thank you very much for your help. Best regards, Pedro Ângelo.

suggestions for spectral "weight" anaylsis
by João Pais 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hello, I wanted to ask if there are any suggestions for spectral "weight" analysis. With "weight" I mean a factor which would measure the harmonicity of a sound - e.g. white noise being 1, and a sinus/silence 0. Surely it exists a propper word for this already, but I don't know one. Is there any external or patch around that does something similar? Thanks, jmmmp

PdDroidParty release
by Chris McCormick 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Hey all, I've finally pulled this release #253 together and it's up now at: http://droidparty.net/ Two big new things I am excited about: 1. Muddu Kishan added the ability to load patches from a specially formatted zipfile (".dpz"). This means you can now zip up your droidparty compatible patches and send them to people - if they have PdDroidParty installed on their device it will automatically unpack and run the .dpz file for them in droidparty. To use it: * Make a zip of your droidparty patch with a folder at the top level, not just the files inside e.g. `zip -r MyPatch.zip MyPatch` * Give the zipfile an extension of .dpz instead of zip. `mv MyPatch.zip Mypatch.dpz` * Optionally include a comment like "version: 99" in your droidparty_main.pd patch and it will prompt to overwrite different versions. The app will pick up .dpz files via email, HTTP download, or on the sdcard. I need to document this better but attached is an example, or you can tap on this link on your phone running droidparty for more demos: http://droidparty.net/dpztests/ I have a fun idea of making a repository of .dpz files available at droidparty.net but I am not sure if I'll get around to that. You can easily upload your .dpz files at puredata.info anyway if you like and downloads will work from there. I just love how small .dpz synth packages are! 2. In this release I worked hard at getting droidparty receiving broadcast UDP packets. My use-case is syncing time signatures between instances running on different devices on the same WiFi network, but there are probably other fun ones like sharing slider state between devices or some other type of information during live performance (chord/scale context?). See the attached demos "netro-example" which syncs time between devices on a network, and "droidnetreceive" which syncs a slider movement. The time syncing one includes a latency adjustment slider which you'll probably need as the network packets generally go faster than Android's awful audio stack. Here is a very rough video of this working with two WiFi synced CanOfBeats patches: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5tlEZwttBM Sorry about the terrible quality video. There was some whiskey involved. I should really make some more videos. Have fun! Cheers, Chris. -- http://mccormick.cx/
