Re: [PD] declare and abstraction (cont.)

hi miller, thanks for investigating this 'problem'. my patch is randomly reading wav's from a library(=folder). for that it needs first to find out what's in the folder. which is done with [moocow/readdir]. (i don't know another way) to give [readdir] the right directory i was using "../sounds". this doesn't work when Pd is started first. with [getdir] i hoped to have a workaround. however [getdir], following Pd, gives different answers, depending whether a [declare -path .] is used or not. strange enough (?) using "./sounds" seems to work ok. it would mean to put the folder with wav's inside the patch folder. which of course isn't a very elegant solution. ciao, rolf Miller Puckette <msp(a)ucsd.edu> schreef: > OK... but I don't see any problem there - 'empty' gets saved to the correct > place, just with a different spaling of the file path, correct?

Re: [PD] Legal restrictions for apps
by Dan Wilcox 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Ed, shortest answer: Don't use [expr] if your worried about this. They don't like it, but we can still *technically* use LGPL code like [expr] by providing the object files, which are of course useless to anyone who hasn't jailbroken their device or paid the $100 iOS dev tithe. Lots of apps use LGPL libs. This really all comes back to the fact that iOS apps must be statically linked and the distribution channel is controlled, which is why GPL code can't legally be used on the App Store. On Feb 5, 2014, at 8:37 AM, pd-list-request(a)iem.at wrote: > Much of the discussion below was prompted by questions about using libraries with iOS and in particular compatibility with Apples stores. Apple hasn't allowed either GPL or LGPL software on their app stores, libPd avoided expr etc to conform with Apple's policies and hence be allowed on Apples app stores. Changing to LGPL won't change that, Apple does not like copyleft. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

sorry, i should be more precise about what i experience. i'm using "../folder" to load soundfiles in my patch. while having a [declare -path .] in the main patch. like i said in the first mail: this works when the patch is started up 'directly'. when i first start Pd and then open the patch with the menu-open Pd cannot find the directory. rolf

[PD-announce] videoTavolo & creHACKtivity
by Nicola LIMULO 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

Hello everybody, we are Valentina and Nicola from Milan (Italy). We'd like to introduce you our Limulo <http://www.limulo.net/> project through which we've found a way to express our interests and passions. One of our projects is videoTavolo <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xcAOFFxWuc>, presented during 2013 Electropark Festival (26th October 2013 - Genova). videoTable is a musical interactive surface. You can play with it placing different tangible fiducials on its surface. videoTable software will generate images and graphic on the surface and will produce sounds in procedural audio. The software is totally realized with PureData and openFramework libraries including external addons: ofxTUIO, ofxPD and ofxOSC. The sound is generated in real-time by the videoTavolo Pure Data patch (we would like to thank Andy Farnell <http://obiwannabe.co.uk/html/author/author.html> for his work that has been so much inspiring for us). Starting from January we are supervising creHACKtivity <http://www.limulo.net/crehacktivita-incontro-di-presentazione>, a series of meetings related to IT and technology. The aim of this lab is to spread an active, inquiring and positive approach toward technology. The target of the lab is either those who already know something about programming, computer, code, either those who are totally unaware. We would like young people to consider computer science, IT and technology in a critical, responsible and creative way. Come and visit our site (www.limulo.net <http://www.limulo.net>), tell us your opinion about it or leave a comment. We'd really appreciate it! Hope to hear you soon Limulo _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

create list by header message
by Peter P. 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

Hi, this might be totally simple, but I am wondering what is the most elegant way of creating a list out of individual messages 12 23 34 45 meaning a list which holds four items, and which is always created at the number '12', and sent out at the nu,ner '45', yielding: list 12 23 34 45 so some kind of parallelization depending on a header value (12). thanks for any pointers best, P

All Put menu options are disabled
by kwi wi 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

I've just compiled and installed pd Pd-0.45.4 ("") compiled 11:50:16 Feb 3 2014 Audio is working (from Media>Test Audio and Midi...) where both the 80 and 60 test tones play a steady tone. The next step is to create a patch but all options in the Put menu are disabled (all options are grayed and clicking them does nothing). Was I supposed to configure something during compilation? Is there a way to debug why these options are disabled? All other menus have enabled options. The command line outputs no error messages.

Re: [PD] Multi-input USB audio into Raspberry Pi
by Dan Wilcox 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

FWIW forcing USB 1 mode works for some soundcards, but not for those that require asynchronous communication (my Roland UA-25). I'm glad it works for this device, but most of us are still out in the cold. The RPI has some inherent compromises for the goal of the project (cheap, general purpose computing) but I really wish they had added a dedicated USB controller!

Multi-input USB audio into Raspberry Pi
by Chris McCormick 03 Feb '14

03 Feb '14

Hi all, I might be really pushing my luck here, what with all the reports of audio issues on the Pi, but has anyone heard of somebody getting multi-input audio working with a multi-input USB 2.0 audio device? I have a dream of running one of these mixers (which does 8 channel audio out over USB 2.0) into Pd and being able to manipulate all of the channels from the mixer in Pd: http://www.alesis.com/multimix8usb20 Cheers, Chris. -- http://mccormick.cx/

OSC server to many clients
by Atte 02 Feb '14

02 Feb '14

Hi Basic OSC confusion here: I'd like to run a server that keeps track of time and shares that to a number of clients, each of which run on their own, but with access to this common, global time. However all the examples I found with [sendOSC] or [tcpsend] suggests that the sender connects to *one* client, which isn't what I want. I'd rather like to have the server broadcast to any number of clients that can pick up this information if they like. Have I got OSC all wrong? How to best achieve what I need? -- Atte http://atte.dk http://modlys.dk
