pd opens patch twice from script
by Csaba Láng 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Dear list, I want to create an automatic control of a patch which can freeze. The first patch send every x seconds a signal via osc to an other patch. If the first patch does not respond after x+n seconds the first the second patch runs a shell script to killall pd instances than run a shell script which starts the patches like this: /Applications/Pd-0.47-1-64bit.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd /Users/xxx/Desktop/OSCcontrol.pd sleep 5 /Applications/Pd-extended.app/Contents/MacOS/Pd-extended /Users/xxx/Desktop/OSCcontrolsend.pd every time pd starts, each instance opens twice later even three times and so on. What is the solution? Why this happens? Is there any hope? Best, Popesz

Organelle
by Pagano, Patrick 01 Apr '17

01 Apr '17

Hello I spent the last year or so exploring eurorack synthesizers but have returned to pure data programming as I just purchased an Organelle from Critter &Guitari, that apparently loads of patches and rides upon arch Linux. Does anyone have any experience with this device? I have a few ideas for patches I want to make but I would love to hear about any resources or experiences from the list too! I hope you are all well Pat Patrick Pagano B.S.,M.F.A. Assistant Professor in Residence Web & Interactive Technologies University of Connecticut Stamford, CT USA (352) 226-2016

dear list, from today on to the 14. of may i have a sound-installation running in lucerne switzerland at bireggstr. 36 it runs a pd patch and emulates a free improvising musician that reacts to inputs. it is quite abstract… the fun part is, that you can also call the installation under +41774610733 and interact with it. cheers simon

PdParty 1.0.3
by Dan Wilcox 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

Howdy all, PdParty 1.0.3 is out on the Apple App Store. It’s a small release which adds full MIDI message handling so realtime and clock messages work. Tests with MIDI hardware and sequencers have been exciting. http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty <http://danomatika.com/code/pdparty> Also, I’ve been working on adding Audiobus and Ableton Link support in the next major version: 1.1.0. Here’s a preview: https://soundcloud.com/danomatika/eargasm-2017-03-24-223026 <https://soundcloud.com/danomatika/eargasm-2017-03-24-223026> -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Re: [PD] Laptop + interface suggestion
by Dan Wilcox 31 Mar '17

31 Mar '17

If I were in your situation, I’d stick with a Thinkpad. They are expensive, but IMHO worth the price as they are rugged, reliable, and repairable. In general, Linux distress run well on their hardware. Another good option is a Panasonic Toughbook which are admittedly bulkier and expensive but you can get one with a built-in handle so you look like you work for the CIA/NSA and use it as a blunt-force protection device (I’m sure Katja knows). Examples of both can be found used with decent prices (US vendor, but gives you an idea of institutional refurbished market): * Newegg refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad <https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=lenovo%20thinkp…> * Newegg refurbished Panasonic Toughbook <https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BES…> As for audio interfaces, I agree with those that say stick with a USB-compliant device. I am still using aRoland UA-25 which is from mid-2000s and is USB 1.0 compliant. It works full stereo duplex with everything, included iOS, without drivers etc. In fact, I bought a UA-25ex used for $100 as a backup a coulee years ago. Fancy stuff like MOTUs are really *nice* but far too reliant on proprietary drivers. I believe USB 2.0 should have enough bandwidth for 8 channel output. Unlike Firewire, we can be pretty sure USB will be supported for the foreseeable future, albeit through probably 10 different dongles/adapters. Plus, you’ll know if you want to work with other Ohs in the future, the device will probably keep working. > On Mar 23, 2017, at 2:24 AM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > From: João Pais <jmmmpais(a)gmail.com <mailto:jmmmpais@gmail.com>> > Subject: [PD] Laptop + interface suggestion > Date: March 23, 2017 at 1:51:36 AM MDT > To: pd-list(a)mail.iem.at <mailto:pd-list@mail.iem.at> > > > Dear list, > > I'm looking to buy new laptop and a matching audio interface for daily use + audio performance/programming (not video).

Tcl error on closing subpatch with array
by Christof Ressi 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

Dear list, I started getting this Tcl error: (Tcl) INVALID COMMAND NAME: invalid command name ".x1e85d08.c" while executing ".x1e85d08.c delete plot1e9715c" ("uplevel" body line 1) invoked from within "uplevel #0 $docmds" A side effect of that error is that sometimes the graphics of all GUI elements stop to update. For example, I can still move a slider and change the value but it doesn't move visually. The error happens when I close a subpatch containing an array while data is frequently written to that array. I can reliably reproduce it with the attached patch. Who else gets this error? I'm on Pd 0.47.1 + Windows 7. Christof

accoustic guitar chord detection
by Alexandre Torres Porres 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

howdy, getting involved in a research that needs to detect notes from guitar chords (no hex pickup solutions, unfortunately). No need to do anything fancy with the spectra, or process it in any way like with celemony melodyne's DNA stuff. Do any of you know of some nice stuff done in Pd or Max or SC or whatever on that? thanks

Best way to shut the system down with a script launched from Pd?
by Alexandros Drymonitis 30 Mar '17

30 Mar '17

I'm trying to shut down my Odroid-U3 by running a script through [shell]. It's very likely that my approach is not good, but here's what I'm doing: I've created a directory /etc/my_scripts and in there I put the following script, called "shut_down.sh": sudo pkill pd sleep 3 sudo pkill jackd sleep 3 sudo poweroff I launch Jack (actually Qjackctl) and then Pd with -jack. In Pd I have this patch: [sh /etc/my_scripts/shut_down.sh( | [shell] On my Raspberry Pi it works, Pd is killed, jackd is killed, and the the Pi shuts down. But on the Odroid it doesn't work. Pd is killed but its windows stay open (I'm using the Odroid via SSH, if this is relevant), and Jack won't quit, and the Odroid won't shut down. I'm on Pd-0.47-1 and a 14.04 LTS Ubuntu image on the Odroid. I've installed [shell] via apt-get.
