lib nilwind: continuation of cyclone 0.2x as fallback provision
by katja 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

Some weeks ago Fred Jan Kraan has reissued cyclone 0.2.1 as 'nilwind' on github and deken. It happened upon my request, to enable coinstallation of 0.2x with newer versions. Alexandre does a great job in preserving backward compatibility (much appreciated!). But the library has also been subject to major refactoring which happened without publicly visible discussion or documentation of the approach. Regressions resulting from this appear hard to solve. For this reason it is useful to have old cyclone still at hand as a fallback. With nilwind around I could finally release an update of a cyclone-dependent project without worrying about stability. Fred Jan declared his intention to maintain nilwind for this sort of purpose. Serious bugs and issues arising from external conditions may be fixed, but behavior of objects won't be changed otherwise. The lib name says it all. Renaming a library doesn't automatically resolve name clash of individual classes. It is therefore recommended to instantiate objects with the library prefix, as [nilwind/<classname>]. This is also how cyclone and nilwind help patches instantiate objects.

Gem Crashing On Ubuntu 19.04 with pix_video
by Jim Ruxton 17 Dec '19

17 Dec '19

I recently updated a bunch of software so I am not sure at this point what is causing this instability. I went from Ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu 19.10 and PD 0.49 to PD 0.50 . Gem is version 0.94 . Previously when I selected a device that didn't exist in the pix_video help file I would just not get any output in the Gem window. Now if I select a device that doesn't exist for example device 2 when only my laptop camera exists PD hangs up. I am not clear why but when I send an enumerate message to pix_video if no external camera is selected I get 2 devices ie. info: device /dev/video0 v4l2 info: device /dev/video1 v4l2 If I add a USB camera I get 4 devices: info: devices 4 info: device /dev/video0 v4l2 info: device /dev/video1 v4l2 info: device /dev/video2 v4l2 info: device /dev/video3 v4l2 Previously before upgrading I would select device 0 for my laptop camera and device 1 for a USB camera. Now I have to select 0 for my laptop camera and device 2 for an external camera. I can live with that but the fact that it hangs up if I send the wrong device number is a bit worrisome. Any thoughts on what is going wrong here and how I might fix this. Thanks, Jim

In that case, you can *always* connect the phone directly to computer with iTunes installed and copy the files via iTunes File Transfer. Otherwise, the built-in web server will work over WiFi. The steps are listed in the User Guide. I think this is fixed but just not in a release on the iOS app store yet via https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/pull/70 <https://github.com/danomatika/PdParty/pull/70>. If not, I haven't had time to do a formal PdParty release yet but I've been meaning to get to it this winter. > This happened with two phones, both running the latest iOS.

Which iPhones running which iOS versions? I bet the difference is iOS 12+ bringing the Files app which may have broken the document type declarations used by PdParty. *hint hint* I am behind the curve with testing new iOS versions and devices as I'm happily running my robot cowboy rig with PdParty on an iPhone 5S. If anyone would like more up-to-date support and works for an institution which supports the creation of art/music and associated tools, especially supporting a production which utilizes PdParty, throwing a newer device at a single developer who puts out the app for free would be helpful. > We already used the same patch months ago and there was no problem.

It is most likely nothing you did wrong. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

(PdParty) not detecting .pdz files under latest iOS
by enrike 16 Dec '19

hi We experienced some problems with PdParty not recognising the .pdz files under latest iOS. We installed PdParty, sent the .pdz via whatsapp or downloaded it from a link. Then we tried to open it but PdParty was not in the list of applications available to open the .pdz. This happened with two phones, both running the latest iOS. Another guy with an older iphone did not experience this issue. In one case reinstalling PdDroid several times solved the issue but I am not 100% sure, the situation was a bit chaotic as this happened just one hour before a concert with seven musicians involved in the middle of a bigger festival and everyone was stressed and in a hurry so I could not test it properly. We already used the same patch months ago and there was no problem. The same patch was totally fine under android, we actually solved the problem by replacing the faulty iphone with an android phone. Sorry not to be more precise, I dont have iphones around to test it properly. If someone could test it would be good to know if this is a global iOS problem or something we did wrong. thanks best

[PD-announce] Slice//Jockey for vanilla Pd
by katja 15 Dec '19

15 Dec '19

Several people asked for an update of project Slice//Jockey. It dates from Pd-Extended times. SliceJockey3 finally works with vanilla Pd. Find it here: www.katjaas.nl/slicejockey/slicejockey.html It needs a few external libraries which are available from deken for all current platforms. The project was verified to work on Linux (Intel and ARM), MacOS and Windows (tested through Wine). _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

hi all and katja :-) have you seen this: https://www.cycfi.com/2018/04/fast-and-efficient-pitch-detection-bliss/ <https://www.cycfi.com/2018/04/fast-and-efficient-pitch-detection-bliss/> seems like a very good canditate for a fast and accurate pitch detector in a pd external, no?

Pd double precision testing.
by Lucas Cordiviola 08 Dec '19

08 Dec '19

Hi all, There is an experimental branch[1] on Pd-double-precision[2]. So far we know a couple of things not working yet like writing audio files with [soundfiler] or [writesf~]. If anyone is willing to test and find something else not working we welcome and appreciate it. Here's a Windows64 version for tests : http://lucarda.com.ar/x/Pd-double-w64-testing.zip Tests should be done with "vanilla-only" patches. 99% of externals were not compiled for double-precision so they don't work with this Pd. If you find something not working write back here to the list or issue it to github (prepend "double-precision: " on the name of the issue).

pd for oscilloscopes
by henry birdseye 07 Dec '19

07 Dec '19

Hello PD List... noob here. I intend to use pd-extended to generate waveforms that look nice on a vector display, and have a couple questions. 1) I'd like to see what I'm doing, so I'm looking for a way to display my patterns without having to use a physical oscilloscope, so what's a good vector oscilloscope app that I can somehow route those dac~ objects to. Can this be a GEM thing, which so far just isn't working for me? 2) And/Or I'd like to get my audio output into my DAW, Reaper, for recording as .wav files. Has anyone done this? I use a MOTU828 to record my modular synthesizer now. The work of Jerobeam Fenderson is what's inspiring me now. Thanks, list. Henry
