[closebang] issue ...
by oliver 29 Aug '18

29 Aug '18

hi ! i just went across a problem that makes me guess that iemguts' [closebang] seems to be relying on creation order to work correctly. attached are two simple example patches that should write the content of a [text] object to a file on the disk when the patch is closed. both seem to work (as a connected [print] object reports its bang correctly), but only example nr 1 actually writes the file. the difference is, that in example 1 [closebang] was created as the very first object in the main patch. in the second example [closebang] was created after everything else. can someone please test it and confirm/falsify ? if this is a bug, can it be corrected, or is that impossible due to PD's patching design ? probably just needs some note in the helpfile ... best oliver

[PD-announce] Announcement: ICAD 2019 the 25th International Conference on Auditory Dislplay
by Paul Vickers 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

It is a pleasure to announce ICAD 2019, the 25th International Conference on Auditory Display. The conference is hosted by the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, Northumbria University and will take place in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK on 23-27 June, 2019. The graduate student Think Tank (doctoral consortium) will be on Sunday, June 23, before the main conference. The theme of ICAD 2019 will be Sonification for Everyday Life Digital technology and artificial intelligence are becoming embedded in the objects all around us, from consumer products to the built environment. Everyday life happens where People, Technology, and Place intersect. Our activities and movements are increasingly sensed, digitised and tracked. Of course, the data generated by modern life is a hugely important resource not just for companies who use it for commercial purposes, but it can also be harnessed for the benefit of the individuals it concerns. Sonification research that has hit the news headlines in recent times has often been related to big science done at large publicly funded labs with little impact on the day-to-day lives of people. At ICAD 2019 we want to explore how auditory display technologies and techniques may be used to enhance our everyday lives. From giving people access to what’s going on inside their own bodies, to the human concerns of living in a modern networked and technological city, the range of opportunities for auditory display is wide. The ICAD 2019 committee is seeking papers, extended abstracts, multimedia, concert pieces, demos, installations, workshops, and tutorials that will contribute to knowledge of how sonification can support everyday life. 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 2019 will be a single-track conference, open to all, with no membership or affiliation requirements. A full Call for Participation with details of the submission classes and dates will be sent out in September.

Re: [PD] distinction Pd lingo: abstraction, subpatch, subwindow
by Dan Wilcox 27 Aug '18

27 Aug '18

My 2 cents: * "subpatch" to me refers to [pd ...] aka a patch within a patch, saved within the same patch file that uses it (no object instantiation) * "abstraction" to me refers to a patch saved to and loaded from it's own file (object instantiation) * using "subpatches and abstractions" when referring to both is the is the best option, I agree that "subwindow" is problematic since there multiple types of things displayed in multiple windows already (ie. the audio dialog could conceptually be a subwindow as well...) * my preference is for "subpatch" as opposed to "sub-patch" * "canvas" is problematic as there are already two notions of canvas within Pd: the Pd patch canvas and the TK drawing canvas > On Aug 12, 2018, at 11:40 PM, pd-list-request(a)lists.iem.at wrote: > > Message-ID: <40aca4a4-d098-f49b-4914-46180e74dc56(a)revolwear.com <mailto:40aca4a4-d098-f49b-4914-46180e74dc56@revolwear.com>> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed > > I see, then maybe we are better off without umbrella term and just refer > to subpatches and abstractions as "subpatches and abstractions". > > m. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Major date milestones for PureData?
by Blair Neal 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hey everyone - First time poster - hope I’m choosing the right list :) I’m working on a personal project where I’m trying to gather major date milestones for different artistically geared programming environments. I posted a writeup <https://medium.com/@laserpilot/a-history-of-creative-coding-8771524b9775> about the intentions behind it and started a google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/history-of-creative-coding> for others interest in tracing similar histories - I’m personally choosing to take on tracking down dates from the late 90’s to present in terms of major release milestones of different frameworks. Here is the public doc <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13vim_1DufUQmCmDqliUAfuvULcpQLor6Ojj…> I’m working on for different dates. Is there someone on this list that might be able to help me track down and verify some major milestones for PD? Wikipedia pretty much says 1996/1997 and then nothing else but 2018. PD’s Github obviously has a lot of history on it as well, but as a bit of a community outsider, I wouldn’t want to pretend I could identify major dates by looking at commit history :) Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! —Blair Neal www.blairneal.com

incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.
by Federico Camara Halac 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hi all, I'm working on a patch for batch analysis using timbreID and it "sometimes" crashes. I say sometimes, because every one or two attempts it does what it's supposed to do, but it's unpredictable. I'm on OSX el capitan,10.11.6, and I'm using timbreID from deken. The same crash occurs with pd compiled from git, and with pd-0.48-2.mac.tar.gz Any hints would be useful :) Thanks, Fede I attach the patch. The lldb output is as follows: (lldb) target create "/Users/federicocamarahalac/Downloads/Pd-0.48-2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd" Current executable set to '/Users/federicocamarahalac/Downloads/Pd-0.48-2.app/Contents/Resources/bin/pd' (x86_64).

[PD-announce] faustgen~ the FAUST compiler embedded in a Pure Data external - new release
by Pierre Guillot 26 Aug '18

26 Aug '18

Hi, Not long after the first publication, here is already a new release *v0.1.0* of *faustgen~*. The faustgen~ object is available for Linux, Mac and Windows (64-bit) via *Deken* (v0.4.1) or via the github repository: https://github.com/CICM/pd-faustgen/releases. Video introducing the new features: https://vimeo.com/286662395 ChangeLog: - Add support to preserve parameters values during recompilation - Fix autocompilation when DSP instance not initialized - Fix support for the double-float-precision option - Add support to look for the DSP file in all Pd's search paths - Add support to open the FAUST file in the default text editor when object is clicked - Add a default locked FAUST file used when no argument is provided - Fix minor bugs Faustgen~ is an external object with the FAUST just-in-time (JIT) compiler embedded that allows to load, compile and play FAUST files within the audio programming environment Pure Data. FAUST (Functional Audio Stream) is a functional programming language specifically designed for real-time signal processing and synthesis developed by the GRAME. The FAUST JIT compiler - built with LLVM - brings together the convenience of a standalone interpreted language with the efficiency of a compiled language.

oscilloscope raster with audio signals
by Derek Holzer 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

Dear Pd folks, I've written about this before here, and I still have not found a solution. I've been chasing the same bug in my Vector Synthesis code for a year now. The purpose of this code is to draw a "video raster" on an X/Y oscilloscope screen with audio signals from a DC coupled MOTU audio interface. The brightness of this raster will be modulated by information from [pix_data]. Because I am redrawing the raster from scratch and the pix information is not tied to the video frame/line rate at all, this raster can be of arbitrary frame rate and line numbers which remain within audio range. This part works fine and I have no questions about that. My problem is with creating the raster. No matter how I create my raster signals, I get the same phase-related offset on my horizontal lines. The amount of offset is dependent on the relationship between the vertical and horizontal rate. You can see this in the video linked at the bottom of this email. Please view that before posting any replies. The Pure Data patch I am using, which includes three different equally flawed methods of making this raster, is available at: http://macumbista.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/oscilloscope-raster-test.t… (Change .txt extension to .pd) Video demo is here: https://vimeo.com/286687337/0b865bd76c I'm guess there is something in the DSP that I have overlooked. I'm also guessing it will take some kind of guru to work it out. If you think you are that guru, please let me know. Thank you for your kind attention, Derek -- derek holzer noise.art.technology http://macumbista.net

Re: [PD] Pd-extended or Pd??
by Jérôme Abel 25 Aug '18

25 Aug '18

Hi, Pd-extended was so nice, but it is obsolete, based on pd-0.43. Pd Vanilla is now pd-0.48. It contains a lot of super nice improvements for end users : osc messages, list and text objects, find externals (deken), zooming, font homogenisation, tclplugins, ... and a lot of invisible stuffs. To build your Pd-extended, you have to know which objects you want and its container library (see previous messages on the list) and install them via "Find externals" feature. We've made a list of useful objects for instance (http://jeromeabel.net/wiki/pd/files/pd-extended-objects.pdf) My christmas guess: a way to install a list of externals in oneshot for all platforms, it could be very useful. To get round installing a lot of libraries in the Malinette project, we are trying to propose a bundle with pd and externals together : https://framagit.org/malinette/malinette-soft Not the best way, but it could help. ++ -- Jérôme Abel http://jeromeabel.net http://reso-nance.org

Re: [PD] videoPYLON install on ubuntu 18.04 - help needed

Basler's Pylon handles multiple industrial-standard protocols, including GigE. videoPYLON should be able to handle every camera type, that is supported by Pylon. (this is slightly different from the old version of videoPYLON, which had GigE hardcoded in some places; the updated version is agnostic of the actual protocol). gfamrds IOhannes
