responsability / privacy
by Jean-Marie Adrien 14 Sep '17

14 Sep '17

Hello I will make an installation in a public space soon where the machine (mac) will be somehow accessible : for responsibility and privacy reasons, i’d like to make it impossible to manipulate the patches (first time i encounter this issue in my long usage of pd…) Is there a way to lock everything ? compile or whatever ? i mean once a patch is running, the mac is basically accessible, no ? (session opened, mouse and keyboard operable, not talking about ethernet) What i have been doing until now is run patches in public spaces tor theaters just as at home and that was fine, but won’t be ok this time Thanks JM

thanks for contributions ! course there is no keyboard nor mouse, just a mini mac headless in a box. point is that i have to guarantee somehow that no geek can twist things easily physically on the mac, even if the guy has a screwdriver, for instance to steal images via GEM or whatever being no hacker myself :) (you know, society is getting more and more paranoid…) … hmm > Le 12 sept. 2017 à 14:31, Markus Brandt <2brandt63(a)gmail.com> a écrit : > > hi > > if you could start your patch with pd -nogui flag, patches would no be visible, so afaik not to be editable > anymore. > > cheers > markus > > 2017-09-12 14:25 GMT+02:00 Jean-Marie Adrien <jm.adrien.mnt(a)gmail.com <mailto:jm.adrien.mnt@gmail.com>>: > Hello > I will make an installation in a public space soon where the machine (mac) will be somehow accessible : > for responsibility and privacy reasons, i’d like to make it impossible to manipulate the patches > (first time i encounter this issue in my long usage of pd…) > Is there a way to lock everything ? compile or whatever ? > i mean once a patch is running, the mac is basically accessible, no ? > (session opened, mouse and keyboard operable, not talking about ethernet) > What i have been doing until now is run patches in public spaces tor theaters just as at home and that was fine, but won’t be ok this time > Thanks > JM > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pd-list(a)lists.iem.at <mailto:Pd-list@lists.iem.at> mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list <https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list> >

Fwd: Re: linux: "-font-size" startup flag -- does this work?
by Lucas Cordiviola 11 Sep '17

I forgot to reply to the list. :-) -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: [PD] linux: "-font-size" startup flag -- does this work? Date: Mon, 11 Sep 2017 15:00:29 -0300 From: Lucas Cordiviola <lucarda27(a)hotmail.com><mailto:lucarda27@hotmail.com> To: Alexander Connor <a.connexx(a)runbox.com><mailto:a.connexx@runbox.com> hi, The "-font-size" flag will affect your *new* patches. Saved patches have their font size saved. If you want to change the font of a saved patch use the "GUI Edit->Font option" of that particular window, not the Pd window (the one with the console). Hope this helps. Mensaje telepatico asistido por maquinas.

linux: "-font-size" startup flag -- does this work?
by Alexander Connor 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hello list - So whilst testing some of the newer Debian/Ubuntu versions to replace my EOL/close to EOL versions I'm currently using, I ran into the enlarged font rendering issue in Vanilla which has been discussed in various posts to this list and I am aware the devs are still working on this. I attempted some temporary workarounds. I first tried the GUI Edit->Font option. In pre 0.48 Vanilla, this would change the object box font size (this seems not to be the case in 0.48 as it is now applied to to the window menu fonts???) but this didn't cut it as I needed size that was in between the GUI selectable values. So I then turned to the -font-size startup flag, and found that no matter what value I put in, on any of the last few revisions of 0.47 or even 0.48, this flag seemed to do *absolutely nothing*. Tried with and without quotes around the variable -- nada. I tested -font-face and -font-weight and these worked as expected. Am I missing something here? Should I file a bug? BTW I tried searching for -font-size in the archive, but this buries you with the "font-size" line in all the headers in those "attachment" files. Couldn't find any way to filter those. Not very useful.

[Gem] changed [ortho] behaviour
by Roman Haefeli 11 Sep '17

11 Sep '17

Hey all A patch of mine with only a few geos that was developed with last release of Gem 0.93.3 looks totally messed up with current master. It turns out that [ortho] is the culprit. It appears that [ortho] used to screw with aspect ratio as it forces both, window width and window height, to be 4 units. A [ortho]- [rectangle 4 4] exactly fits into the window, even if the window is rectangle, for instance 960x540px. That's what my patch took into account. Now, with current master, [ortho] doesn't mess with aspect ratio anymore, but when using [ortho], I can display a geo only within a square part of the gem window. When I moved it out that area, it gets blacked out. I can somehow understand that [ortho] was buggy in the last release and needed to be changed, but is the current behaviour the desired behavior?

OT: seeking expert in human sound perception as expert witness
by William Huston 09 Sep '17

09 Sep '17

Please forgive the OT post: I am looking an expert in how humans perceive sound as a possible expert witness in a trial. You should have some academic or professional credentials supporting that you are an audio expert. *This case has to do with how sounds of different frequencies mix together, and how this impacts human perception of Loudness. * You should be familiar with mastering, compression, Fletcher–Munson, LUFS or LKFS (Loudness) curves, PRSS Audio Loudness Standard, EBU R128, ITU-R BS.1770-3 etc. Bonus points if you are somewhat local to upstate NY (Binghamton), USA Please reply off-list by email: WilliamAHuston(a)gmail.com Thanks!

[PD-announce] 1st Beta release of "ELSE" Library
by Alexandre Torres Porres 07 Sep '17

07 Sep '17

Hi, I've been working this year on a new library called "ELSE", this first beta release, and it is up in deken for Windows, Mac and Windows. Here's my repository github.com/porres/pd-else It has 134 objects as of now, and I plan to keep adding more until the stable release. It is a multi purpose / swiss army knife library, with basic building blocks for patching, such as oscillators, filters, etc... it is strongly oriented towards sample accuracy, so you can trigger objects with impulses and gates. SuperCollider is also like that, so I stole a bunch stuff and ideas from their objects. My idea is to heavily rely on it and in cyclone to patch the examples in my didactic material - that I've been developing for 9 years. I'm presenting a paper tomorrow about it here in São Paulo, Brazil, at SBCM ( http://compmus.ime.usp.br/sbcm/2017/ ). Here's the paper: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3AoiT0xk8fnUmxqZ0MtNlptNHM/view?usp=shari… An object list with objects listed by category => https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/72ad687ad3b85514be5cf9f6babf102c73b9… Any feedback is welcome Thanks _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce
