Data structures and click event
by Pierre Massat 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Dear list, First of all i'd like to say that i'm very impressed by the potential of data structures in Pd. I've always kind of ignored this feature and it's a pity because it's really worth diving into it. That being said I think that help and example patches are far from sufficient for beginners, and if it wasn't for Chris McCormick's s-abstractions I would have been able to really figure out how to use them (stuff like how to make an entire polygon draggable, how to use GOP with proper scaling, etc.). I m now stuck with a question. How can I identify the element which was just clicked ? I know that [struc] outputs the events, like click, selection and change, but I thought I could identify individual elements by their pointer id. It turns out that I get the same pointer for every element, although I created them sequentially (using [append]). (I guess something must be escaping me about pointers... I've noticed that within the same template, I get different pointers for elements on different y-levels, but the same pointer for all the element on the same y-level regardless of their x.) Cheers, Pierre

midi question
by Aaron L. 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

Hi all. King lurker here.......and I'm kinda thinking out loud so forgive me if some of this is somewhat cloudy. Let's say I had a pd patch that was simply a controller for different delay parameters. (i.e. in this case, "Bob's Guitar" signal passes through and the patch offers the following knobs to twiddle: delay time, wet/dry level, etc.). Now let's say I wanted to control these parameters with another, separate guitar that is effectively silent and is just used as a controller (we'll call this controller-guitar "2nd Guitar"......bear with me here). And by "control" I mean each string of "2nd Guitar" gets different parameters of the audible "Bob's Guitar" to control (the effect happens to be 'delay' in this case). So essentially, you'd have "Bob's Guitar" that gets "fed" (maybe via midi pickup or something?) to another guitar where "2nd Guitar" controls the delay of "Bob's Guitar" in real time via, say, another midi pickup on "2nd Guitar"?? (I have very limited experience with midi so, unfortunately, there's that.) In a perfect world, any effect could be chosen and tweaked by "2nd Guitar" and any effect could be combined and controlled by "2nd Guitar's" strings......play a string "fast" and the delay gets "faster", etc. Seems like an awfully tall order but someone out there must be doing something kinda like this. Anyone? (My apologies and/or 'thank yous' in advance..............)

Gem geometric objects's outlet
by Alexandros Drymonitis 12 Mar '14

12 Mar '14

If I want to apply, say motion blur to a geometric object that's moving inside the [gemwin], is there some way to use the object's outlet? In the help patch of each geometric object, it says that the outlet outputs the gemlist as many (all?) other gem objects. But other objects, e.g. [pix_video], [pix_image] etc., can send their gemlist to a geometric object and others, like [pix_motionblur], and you can get the desired effect. How would you go about applying some effects to the movement of a primitive? Is recursion what I'm looking for?

segfault using abstraction containing partconv~ in a larger patch
by Peter P. 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Dear list, I have pd segfaulting when I try to open a larger patch, that contains one abstraction which in turn contains Ben Saylor's [partconv~] external. Only opening the abstraction itself does not cause the crash. GDB Backtrace: #0 0x00007ffff6a51f69 in ?? () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007ffff5980e55 in partconv_perform (w=0x874b88) at partconv~.c:152 #2 0x0000000000490a35 in dsp_tick () #3 0x000000000047e0ad in m_mainloop () #4 0x00007ffff69e3b45 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 #5 0x0000000000411c5e in _start () Does anyone have an idea what could be going wrong here? This is on 3.2.0-4-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux with Pd vanilla Pd-0.45.0 from Miller's git. Thank you so much! best, P

Hi there, since [vu] accepts a value for Peak Amplitude, is there a way to measure it with Vanilla objects? Cheers

[PD-announce] The Xth Sense: make your own biowearable for interactive performance
by Marco Donnarumma 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Dear all, I'll be back at STEIM this weekend with an intensive course on the biophysical instrument Xth Sense (Pd-based). Hope to see some of you there! This weekend course offers hands-on experience and theoretical training in the performance of biophysical music and visuals with the Xth Sense (XS). Workshop participants will build from scratch their own XS sensors, then learn how to analyze and map the data from their muscle and body movements to generate music, visuals, and do live processing of sound. Attention will also be paid to aesthetic considerations when using the XS system in artistic contexts. At the end of the workshop, participants will take home the XS bioacoustic sensors they built, and the related software for their own continued creative use. DETAILS: DATE: 15-16 MARCH, 2014 TIME: 10-17h each day COST: EURO 110 (includes EURO 25 sensor kit & parts) MAXIMUM PARTICIPANTS: 12 LOCATION: STEIM Concert Space, Utrechtsedwarsstraat 134, Amsterdam More info: http://steim.org/event/xth-sense-make-your-own-biophysical-sensor-for-inter… The Xth Sense in action: https://vimeo.com/86766860 Some topics covered in the workshop include: - Theoretical background on the state of art of gestural control of music - Introduction to the Xth Sense (XS) framework (technical overview, capabilities) - Building the wearable biosensor - An introduction to the open source artistic programming language PureData, tips and tricks for using PureData in live settings - Explorations of bioacoustic sound design capabilities - Building audio modules and signal processing chains - Aesthetics of bioacoustic sensor-based performance - Mapping muscle energy to control values and real-time processing - Designing an aesthetic vocabulary for body-sensor performance best wishes, -- Marco Donnarumma Performer, body tinkerer, teacher and writer. #soundandmusic #biotech #freeculture EAVI - Goldsmiths, University of London ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Portfolio: http://marcodonnarumma.com Research: http://res.marcodonnarumma.com _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

change array graph size
by João Pais 10 Mar '14

10 Mar '14

Hello, I wanted to change the graph canvas of an array, but I can't find the way of doing it. If I have an array called "array1", to where should I send a coords message? Does it work like a normal GOP? Thanks, jmmmp

Re: [PD] KMI SoftStep foot controller?
by Jonghyun Kim 10 Mar '14

Thanks Chris for the answer! I was worried about compatibility with Pd. How about OSC function with Pd? It's OSC works with [netsend] or [udpsend]?
