pduino/firmata trouble?
by Rick Snow 14 Mar '17

14 Mar '17

Hi list, I'm having trouble getting PD on mac osx 10.11.4 to work with the arduino analog inputs. I am able to upload firmata via the arduino ide. I'm also able to upload blink and get the expected behavior. When loading the arduino pduino examples I am able to get comport to connect to arduino but am not able to get any input from the analog pins. Has anyone else had trouble with this recently? Any advice? Thanks! Rick

[PD-announce] Call for Applications - Algorithms that Matter - Artistic Research Residency
by IOhannes m zmoelnig 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

— Apologies for cross-postings, please distribute — __Algorithms that Matter__ Artistic Research Residency - Call for Applications https://almat.iem.at/call Algorithms that Matter (Almat) is an artistic research project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, PEEK AR 403-GBL, and based at the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz, Austria. Almat is happy to announce a call for three artistic residencies to take place in 2017/18! __What__ Algorithms that Matter is an artistic research project by Hanns Holger Rutz and David Pirrò. It aims at understanding the increasing influence of algorithms, translating them into aesthetic positions in sound, building a new perspective on algorithm agency by subjecting the realm of algorithms to experimentation. Almat is grounded in the idea that algorithms are agents that co-determine the boundary between an artistic machine or “apparatus” and the object produced through this machine. The central question is: How do algorithmic processes emerge and structure the praxis of experimental computer music? The hypothesis is that these processes, instead of being separated from the composer—as generators and transformers of infinite shapes—exhibit a specific force that retroacts and changes the very praxis of composition and performance. A series of systematic experiments is carried out by the project team together with the artists in residence. Over defined periods of time, artists develop series of interrelated sound pieces that interrogate specific aspects of algorithmicity. The work process is observed and transcribed into complementary forms of presentation and discourse, including concerts and exhibitions, an online public “continuous exposition”, and gatherings that connect artists-researchers across various institutions in Europe. The project not only aims at extending the praxis of experimental computer music using algorithmic processes, but also at contributing to the scope and methodology of artistic research. __Who__ This call is directed at experienced practitioners in sound art and experimental computer music, for whom algorithmic and computational strategies represent a central element in their work. Applicants should be able to demonstrate this through their past work. They are capable and interested in exposing and reflecting their process and work through writing, discussion and other forms of discourse. During the project, they are expected to either engage with software frameworks that the project team has developed, or with software they have developed in open source environments. __Residencies__ The project offers three residencies in the period from October 2017 to December 2018 (see possible periods listed in the application form). The project is conceived in such way, that applicants will work collaboratively with the project team. Each residency will be preceded by an online preparatory process in cooperation with the project team (this will begin at latest two months before the start of the actual residency). The applicants are then expected to spend the two months of the residency in situ. The residency's aim is to carry out algorithmic experimentation (in the form of compositions, installations, etc.) in an iterative setting, with focus on process and specific constraints. Applicants are expected to work both independently and collaboratively during the residency. An additional researcher will observe and document the work process and contribute to the public exposition of the traces. The tangible outcomes will be presented locally and internationally by the project team, and the artists are invited to attend events related to the project. We want to emphasise that research is the prime focus of the residency, but that we intend to provide opportunities for public presentation of the works and artefacts created through the process. __Application__ The applicants are commended to carefully read through the summary, research questions and methodology provided on the project's website: https://almat.iem.at Please fill out the form provided at https://almat.iem.at/call.html and send it to almat(a)iem.at along with the required accompanying documents. We aim at a balance of gender and background of the applicants, asserting the diversity of the project. __Conditions__ - Duration of residency: 2 months - Start date (in situ): October 2017 (select time slots in form) - Remuneration: c. 5,000 EUR total (contract for work; subject to taxation where applicable). This sum is meant to cover all expenses, such as travelling, living costs and accommodation. __Application deadline:__ 16 April 2017 (e-mail reception, 24:00 CET) If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at almat(a)iem.at. __Additional Information__ The Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics is a department of the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, founded in 1965. It is a leading institution in its field, with more than 25 staff members of researchers and artists. IEM offers education to students in composition and computer music, sound engineering, contemporary music performance and musicology. What we offer: - 24/7 access to the facilities of the IEM (http://iem.kug.ac.at/en). - A desk in a shared office space for the entire period and access to studios including the CUBE which has a 24-channel loudspeaker system and motion tracking, according to availability. What we cannot offer: - We can not provide any housing, although we will try to help with finding accommodation. _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

purr data 2.1.1
by Jonathan Wilkes 13 Mar '17

13 Mar '17

Purr Data 2.1.1 is out. https://git.purrdata.net/jwilkes/purr-data-binaries/tree/master I added a "dropdown" widget to the "Put" menu. The interface isn't yet stable, but it should be usable if people want to play with it. Changes: * normalized range for `[bendin]` (keep old behavior under legacy flag) * added "mouseenter" and "mouseleave" events for data structures * fixed "Recent Files" under Windows * cleaned up documentation in repo * fix for `[midiclkin]` (#255) * added "l2ork_version" message for `[pdinfo]` * make loader search order the same as Pd Vanilla * fixed cord inspector font size * silence spurious error when autopatching a signal object * added a `[dropdown]` object for choosing a value for an atom box (interface not stable yet) * made gatom resizable by click-dragging in edit mode * added "<ctrl-mousewheel>" for zooming * added solarized and inverted solarized gui presets * fixed mycanvas stroke color updates * improvements to mode 4 of intelligent patching * fixed "<Delete>" not deleting a selected object on some systems -Jonathan

More font problems
by Liam Goodacre 11 Mar '17

11 Mar '17

I'm on a clean installation of 0.47.1 on Puppy Linux (Slacko), and I'm trying to get the font weight to "normal" instead of bold. The -font-weight flag doesn't seem to help. When I run PD I get the following: Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d-user.conf", line 14: reading configurations from ~/.fonts.conf is deprecated. The contents of /etc/fonts/conf.d-user.conf are: <?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd"> <fontconfig>  <include ignore_missing="yes" prefix="xdg">fontconfig/conf.d</include> <include ignore_missing="yes" prefix="xdg">fontconfig/fonts.conf</include>  <include ignore_missing="yes" deprecated="yes">~/.fonts.conf.d</include> <include ignore_missing="yes" deprecated="yes">~/.fonts.conf</include> </fontconfig> I seem to remember that there's some way of editing this file that fixes it, but I can't find it. Can anyone help?

[PD-announce] MUME 2017 Concert - 2nd Call for Works
by Kıvanç Tatar 09 Mar '17

09 Mar '17

Call for Works: The Musical Metacreation Concert at the Eighth International Conference on Computational Creativity, Atlanta, Georgia, June 2017 Key Dates April 20th - submission deadline. May 10th - notification. June 18th - concert rehearsals. June 19th - MuMe concert. http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2017-concert/ June 19th-20th - MuMe Workshop http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2017 June 19th-23rd - International Conference on Computational Creativity. Overview Creators of musically metacreative systems are invited to submit works for a concert of musical metacreation, as part of the Eighth International Conference on Computational Creativity, at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta. Submitted works can be of any musical style but must involve a performative element and must involve the use of computational creativity techniques in the creation of the work. Examples from previous MuMe concerts include, but are not limited to: reproduction of musical style using machine learning; the evolution of musical structures using interactive genetic algorithms; rule-based systems; systems based on emergence or self-organisation; systems that perform music data mining to create remixes, and so on. Information on the link for submission, selection committee, musicians, concert venue and available equipment will be made available in a follow-up call for works and all up-to-date information can be found here <http://musicalmetacreation.org/mume-2017-concert/>. Types of Work Any work related to MuMe that can be presented in a performance context will be considered. This includes: - Improvising agents that perform alongside live musicians. - Automated composition systems that generate music in realtime or pre-compose music for performers, as well as automated DJ systems. - Systems that use AI methods for other creative objectives, such as harmonising, intelligent looping, or finding suitable matches for a target phrase. - Systems that generate lyrics. - Music that uses evolution, emergence or ecosystemic concepts. We are also interested in submissions of musebots <http://metacreation.net/musebots/> and other types of interactive installation works relevant to MuMe. Submission Process Please submit a one page A4-portrait PDF describing your work before the submission deadline. Your submission should: - Describe the work. - Explain how the work relates to the MuMe theme. - Give a relatively detailed technical description of the system*. - Give detailed performance requirements. As necessary, this may include a stage plan, equipment needs, technical support needs, and performing musicians (you can use additional PDF pages for any supporting items). - A link to any additional documentary material such as audio or video recordings, or online software (highly recommended). - Credits and biography (name, affiliation, short biography up to 150 words). * It is common to receive submissions that are highly ambiguous about what the proposed system actually does. Works will be rejected if this is the case. The description does not need to be highly technically detailed but it should remove any fundamental ambiguity. Selection Process Submissions should not be anonymised. All submissions will be reviewed by three independent members of the selection committee. Once these reviews have been completed the reviewers and the chairs will discuss these works and reviews. The chairs will provide a meta-review, the three original reviews, and a final decision. Reviewers will be anonymous to the authors, but not to each other. The final decision lies with the chairs, in consultation with the committee.

Is PD using CPU optimisation?

Hello, list. Would it be sensible to, for example, start using multiplications over divisions when possible or will the compiler take care of that? Cheers, Dario
