"If I told you there was a great way to promote your band all over the net, for free, you'd probably think, 'Yeah, what's the catch？'" racolage (French) : practice of forced seduction used to attract a potential customer (in the context of prostitution). racolage.xxx is a label that releases experimental music through spam email. Each release is a single track, sent to hundreds of thousands of random email addresses collected with the same techniques used by usual spammers. If you are interested in releasing a track on racolage.xxx, please send to contact(a)racolage.xxx : ♦ the title of your release > artist name (or some weird pseudo), track title, ... whatever : 30 characters max ♦ a description for your release : 200 characters max ♦ an image ♦ an audio track : mp3 format, 5mb max We will respond to you shortly. http://racolage.xxx/#about <https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fracolage.xxx%2F%23about&h=ATMke…> _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Problems with startup options from the GUI (PD 0.47.1, Win10 x64)
by NitroWheels 15 Jun '17

15 Jun '17

Hi, I'm experiencing problems setting up the startup options from the GUI (Edit > Preferences > Startup) OS: Win10 x64PD: v0.4.7.1 >From the CLI the following examples both work: pd.exe -font-size 24 -font-face Cambria pd.exe -font-size "24" -font-face "Cambria" none of them instead from the GUI about the first one: just the first options produces the expected behaviour, while the other seems ignored (same by swapping them) the second one, probably due to the parsing of the double quotes, gives an error (you have to restart Pd using -noprefs to correct the problem or use regedit) Is this is some kind of bug or am I missing something? Thanks in advance for your kind help and for this fantastic computer music project. Enrico

Re: [PD] Abstraction to translate raw MIDI data from Tonal Plexus keyboard?
by Lucas Cordiviola 14 Jun '17

Cool, I dont want to distract you on your patch but I must say that filling 800 values to a txt file is rather easy/fast if you work and do calculations with a spreadsheet (libreoffice, exel, etc). You can copy & paste each octave to the txt. Salutti, Lucarda.

Hi, Lucarda-- Thanks for sending! I have the four-octave version of the keyboard, for a total of 844 keys. As you might imagine, I'm not eager to populate a text table with 844 values (105 values apiece for MIDI channels 5, 7, 9, and 11, and 106 values apiece for MIDI channels 6, 8, 10, and 12). :-) Also, I feel that because it's worth doing at all, it's worth writing the abstraction so that it will also work for musicians using the six-octave keyboard (1266 keys) and even for those lucky few who have one of the rare eight-octave keyboards (1688 keys). So, I will continue to work on an abstraction that calculates the correct MIDI note number, and see how much lag those computations generate before I turn to populating a lookup table. But again, thanks for sending! I especially appreciate the explanations in your patch comments. Muchas gracias, Brian

Thanks for the input, and my apologies for not being able to clarify until now. Simon: Yes, you're exactly right: Each channel represents a tuning layer, and it shouldn't be difficult to write the abstraction (I'm at least halfway there now). Lucas: Here are some helpful details: The layout of the Tonal Plexus (hereafter abbreviated TPX) is optimized for 205-tone equal temperament (a.k.a. 205 Equal Division of the Octave = "205-EDO"). As Simon put it, it's designed to "misuse" the MIDI channels by sending independent pitch-bend data to get each note to the desired pitch ... but for this to work, the patch's pitch bend must match that of the editing software (and, FWIW, limits polyphony to 16 notes). Simon: Yes, the Pythagorean scale is embedded, but not in any one channel. Instead, each channel comprises one-half of an octave (see attached table). I've highlighted the duplicated notes (i.e., there are duplicate keys, such that within each octave, the highest version of each triple-sharp is enharmonically equivalent to the lowest triple-sharp in the next column of keys), which only mildly complicate calculations (e.g., for the odd-numbered channels, instead of applying one formula to all 106 notes, one must divide into three "zones" with three different constants on which to add (delta * 0.0585) ... so, in Pd, two moses objects to sort notes arriving via the odd-numbered channels, and three to sort on the even-numbered channels. Lucas: I've chosen MIDI note numbers for simpler arithmetic (and fewer digits to type, and thus mistype). Again, thanks for chiming in! -- Brian Robison www.brianrobison.org

canvasindex depth mystery
by oliver 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

hi, just discovered something in IEMGUTS [canvasindex] that might be a bug (or maybe i didn't get the concept ...) [canvasindex]' help patch shows how to get the total number of objects inside a patcher hierarchy (right outlet). this doesn't work on my system (Win 7 , 64 bits, PD 0.47.1) - the ouput shows nothing. however, it DOES output the right info when i change the subpatches argument to "0". but as far as i understood, according to IEMGUTS parent-depth numbering, an argument of 1 should go "one level up" to get its infos, while "0" means "this level". attached is an example patch that demonstrates what i mean. [canvasindex] works, but with a "depth level shift", where the parent-depth "0" does what usually parent-depth "1" does. can somebody else reproduce this ? best oliver

Abstraction to translate raw MIDI data from Tonal Plexus keyboard?
by Brian Robison 13 Jun '17

13 Jun '17

Hi, all-- I'm new to Pd, so I thought I should check: Has anyone written an abstraction to translate an H-pi Tonal Plexus keyboard's output (conventional integer MIDI note numbers, on various channels) into Pd's MIDI-note-numbers-with-decimal-fractions? Many thanks, Brian -- Brian Robison www.brianrobison.org

bang to numbox via trigger anything causes pd to crash
by Federico Camara Halac 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hello, I just discovered that if you bang a numbox via [t a] pd crashes with a Segmentation fault: 11 I couldn't find anything on the list. Is it only me? Why does this happen? I'm on OSX 10.11.6, Pd-0.47-1 to recreate: [bng] | [t a| | [nbx] Without the [t a], the bang acts as in all the other iemgui. Best fede -- http://fdch.github.io/tv
