Improvised Live Electronics, in Pd with E.L.A.P.S.
by Peter van Haaften 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Greetings list, I thought this might be of interest to a few individuals. Today I release a free four track e.p. of improvised live electronics, produced in Pure Data with E.L.A.P.S. (an expressive live algorithmic performance system). E.L.A.P.S. is a system for electroacoustic performance and composition, using algorithmic processes, tangible control interfaces, and Pure Data. In the months to come, individual components will be open-sourced under a GPL license, and made available on my artist website.

install libraries with apt-get with Pd compiled from source?
by Alexandros Drymonitis 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

I've compiled Pd-0.46-4 from source, but I'd like to install some libraries. Will apt-get work, or do I have to compile them as well?

weird float/add limitation
by Alexandre Torres Porres 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

howdy, check the attached patch. 1e+06 + 1 is not equal to 1e+06 but 1e+09 + 1 is equal to 1e+09 meaning it didn't add 1 to 1e+09! Meaning there's a limit where it stops adding 1 to something. how's that and why? cheers

Sieve of erastothen
by Pagano, Patrick 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello I would like to know if there is a way to compute the Sieve of erastothenes with pure data and spit out numbers which can be used for MIDI notes. There used to be a simple unix program that i used but it no longer is available. Has anyone tried this with pd? I found some Java code for it. pp /************************************************************************* * Compilation: javac PrimeSieve.java * Execution: java -Xmx1100m PrimeSieve N * * Computes the number of primes less than or equal to N using * the Sieve of Eratosthenes. * * % java PrimeSieve 25 * The number of primes <= 25 is 9 * * % java PrimeSieve 100 * The number of primes <= 100 is 25 * * % java -Xmx100m PrimeSieve 100000000 * The number of primes <= 100000000 is 5761455 * * % java PrimeSieve -Xmx1100m 1000000000 * The number of primes <= 1000000000 is 50847534 * * * The 110MB and 1100MB is the amount of memory you want to allocate * to the program.

Help with finding the origin of a patch
by Martin Dupras 26 Jan '15

26 Jan '15

Hello, I believe that some students of mine might have "borrowed" an existing patch for an assignment of theirs. I am however having difficulty in tracing the original. Can anyone let me know if you recognise where this might be lifted from? It would have been part of an implementation of a Schroeder reverb. Many thanks, - martin ------------- patch in question --------------- #N canvas 481 144 824 432 10; #X obj 230 215 +~; #X obj 230 186 inlet~; #X obj 303 244 outlet~; #X floatatom 303 113 5 0 0 0 - - -; #X msg 303 85 29.7; #X obj 303 198 *~; #X obj 341 181 inlet; #X obj 303 49 loadbang; #X obj 303 149 delread~ comb; #X obj 230 277 delwrite~ comb 1000; #X connect 0 0 9 0; #X connect 1 0 0 0; #X connect 3 0 8 0; #X connect 4 0 3 0; #X connect 5 0 0 1; #X connect 5 0 2 0; #X connect 6 0 5 1; #X connect 7 0 4 0; #X connect 8 0 5 0;

Re: [PD] Wiimote external not working any more ...
by Roman Haefeli 26 Jan '15

I'm responding to the list, where I think this belongs...

(the last one was the > one i knew ...) Indeed, strange. I can't recall the details, but I believe there are two versions of [wiimote] around. Originally written by Mike Wozniewski, IOhannes added support for more extensions and I think this one uses the new syntax 'report acceleration 1'. I don't know how [wiimote] version and help-version got mixed up. The newer one seems to support both syntaxes. So somehow you seem to have loaded the older version. I got it from here: http://puredata.info/downloads/wiimote Roman

pd-externals howto pdf s not searchable.
by Rafael Vega 24 Jan '15

24 Jan '15

This is mainly a request for Iohannes but I thought it would be in-topic so I'm sending to the list. The excellent pdf "pd-externals howto" that can be downloaded from [1] is not searchable. I opened it using both "Document Viewer" and "Okular" under Linux and in both viewers, when you enter any search string, there are no results. Iohannes, would you be able to re-export the pdf or share in a different format so that it's searchable? Thanks! [1] http://iem.at/pd/externals-HOWTO/ -- Rafael Vega email.rafa(a)gmail.com

[PD-announce] pd 0.46-4, fixes crasher bug in 0.46-3
by Miller Puckette 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

Hi all - If you've got Pd 0.46-3, please install Pd 0.46-4 instead - there's a bug in 0.46-3 that can lead to crashes (I think only when editing patches, but perhaps even runtime). Get it from http://msp.ucsd.edu/software.htm or via git from sourceforge: git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/pure-data/pure-data cheers Miller _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Can't compile Pd-0.46-4 compiled for Raspberry Pi
by Alexandros Drymonitis 22 Jan '15

I just tried to compile this version of Pd by following the instructions (after installing automake and libtool via apt-get) but the Pi couldn't make it. This is the configuration summary (with --enable-jack) Configuration summary: Target ...................... armv6l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf C++ bindings ................ no Debug output ................ no ALSA ........................ no ASIHPI ...................... no OSS ......................... yes JACK ........................ no Jack is installed in the pi, alsa too... and this is what I get at the end of make: make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/src' Making all in man make[2]: Entering directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/man' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/man' Making all in tcl make[2]: Entering directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/tcl' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'all'. make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/tcl' Making all in po make[2]: Entering directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/po' msgfmt --check --tcl --locale=af -d . af.po /bin/bash: msgfmt: command not found Makefile:532: recipe for target 'af.msg' failed make[2]: *** [af.msg] Error 127 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4/po' Makefile:847: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/pi/applications/pd-0.46-4' Makefile:746: recipe for target 'all' failed make: *** [all] Error 2 The Pi is running on the latest Raspbian you can find on their website. Am I doing something wrong?

dynamically delete abstractions
by Alexandros Drymonitis 22 Jan '15

22 Jan '15

I'm creating some abstractions dynamically with the [obj ( message to a subpatch, which are actually oscillator instances. If I want to reduce the number of instances, I want to delete the excess ones. I know I can do this by sending [clear( to the subpatch and create the new ones, or maybe with iemgut's [canvasdelete], but I don't want to clear all the instances and create them anew (I just want to keep the ones I need), neither use [canvasdelete], as I'm trying to make this as much vanilla as possible. What I'm doing now, is keep track of the number of instances, calculate their canvas coordinates, and use them with these messages [editmode 1, mouse 20 $1 0 0, mouseup 60 $2 0(, and then [cut, editmode 0(. So the excess abstractions are being selected and then I'm cutting them. Is there a way to tell Pd to delete them? Like hitting backspace... I tried with [makefilename %c] but didn't seem to work.
