abstraction to play video and its soundtrack in sync?
by Peter P. 16 Nov '17

16 Nov '17

I am trying to find a good vanilla abstraction that will allow the playback of a videofile and its soundtrack (provided as extra audiofile) with good syncronisation. I suppose this would be done using something like [bang~] as time reference. Has anyone already built such a thing? Thank you! cheers, P

Where is rev4~?
by Peter P. 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Dear list, I found that there is no rev4~ distributed with Pd on Debian testing at the moment. Has it been removed from Pd alltogether? I hope not as it is such a nice sounding 'verb. hoping P

Could [declare] report lib loading errors?
by Peter P. 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi, I am growing a big fan of loading external libraries with a [declare -lib magiclib] object. I wonder if it would be a valuable improvement to have it report failures loading a library to the console window, or if there is a specific reason it doesn't? I find in cumbersome having to watch out for successful loading messages being posted to Pd's console only to indicate correct behavior but no error or warning if loading went wrong. I am looking forward to learn more about why this is the case. thank you all! P

Re: [PD] 32 bit linux build in Deken for else lib?

Just as a note, the install guide for building Pd has been greatly updated. Hopefully the steps make much more sense: https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/INSTALL.txt <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/blob/master/INSTALL.txt> Also, I think Alex was referring more to building his external and less about building Pd. > > Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2017 00:48:41 +1100 > From: Richie Cyngler <glitchpop(a)gmail.com> > > I've tried but I've never been able to build Pd successfully.

purr data window display
by school shoes 15 Nov '17

15 Nov '17

Hi there , I've noticed some strange behavior using Purr Data on macOs Sierra 10.12.5 (tested on purr data 2.4.2 and 2.4.3). After I first open the application, whatever I try to do first doesn’t seem to display. For example, if I press command + n , nothing happens. But if i press it again, a new window appears. The window is titled ‘Untitled-2’ so I assume the first attempt registered and ’Untitled-1’ exists somewhere but is not visible Or if after first opening the application I go Help -> about pd-l2ork, nothing happens but if I open it again i get the error ‘template pd-cat: warning: already exists’ so it seems like it is opening in the background somewhere but the window is not displaying? This only happens if it's the very first thing I do. Even if I toggle the dsp a few times before I try to open a file then I don’t experience this problem. Is anyone else experiencing this ? cheers

Use Alsa while other devices are using alsa?
by Peter P. 13 Nov '17

13 Nov '17

Hi list, on my Debian system I can easily launch two instances of the mplayer media player or audacity which will then send their audio to alsa and to the same soundcard without blocking each other. When I try to do the same with Pd I do get the well known "ALSA output error (snd_pcm_open): Device or resource busy" Why are some programs capable of using alsa together with other programs and Pd not? Thank you for all explanations, I am most looking forward to understanding this topic better. cheers, P

In ICAD 2018, we want to (1) not only go back to the basics but also (2) explore and integrate various potentials of auditory displays and sonification as Art-Design-Science-Research (ADSR). Under this conference theme, we will value and embrace all types of submissions, including papers, extended abstracts, multimedia (videos/audios), concert pieces, demos and installations. ICAD is a highly interdisciplinary academic conference with relevance to researchers, practitioners, musicians, and students interested in the design of sounds to support tasks, improve performance, guide decisions, augment awareness, and enhance experiences. It is unique in its singular focus on auditory displays and the array of perception, technology, and application areas that this encompasses. Like its predecessors, ICAD 2018 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. ICAD 2018, the 24th International Conference on Auditory Display, will be held at Michigan Tech, June 10 to 15, 2018.
