[PD-announce] AI Music Creativity Community Update
by aimc via Pd-announce 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Dear colleagues and peers, If you are interested in music generation, we have some exciting news to share with you. First, we are announcing the AI Music Creativity (AIMC) community website ([https://aimusiccreativity.org](https://aimusiccreativity.org/)), which features proceedings from past iterations of the AIMC conference, Musical Metacreation (MuMe) workshop and the Computer Simulation of Music Creativity Conference (CSMC), as well as some detailed information about bids for hosting AIMC 2022 (https://aimusiccreativity.org/2020/12/18/Welcoming-bids-for-2022/). Second, we have also renamed the MuMe google group to AIMC, as we felt it would be most convenient for those who are already members of the group. If you aren't a member, you can join here: https://groups.google.com/g/musicalmetacreation. Finally, we would also take this opportunity to remind you to check out the AIMC 20201 call for papers, music and tutorials at https://aimc2021.iem.at/. Paper, music and tutorial submissions are due April 1, 2021. Submission deadline: 1. April 2021 Acceptance notification deadline: 1. May 2021 Camera-ready deadline: 1. June 2021 Conference: 18.-22. July 2021 Test negative and stay positive. Pr. Philippe Pasquier, On the behalf of the AIMC Steering Committee. _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

[clone] settable instance number?
by Peter P. 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Hi, how would I be able to set [clone]'s instance number, currently an argument, using a message? I am trying to create voices dynamically, which furthermore would introduce clicks, but make the number of voices dependent on some other conditions/calculations in an abstraction at creation time. thanks, P

getting vslider to fit in a GOP dynamically?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

hi there, trying to create GOPs with dynamic sizes, but it seems the size f [vsl] doesn't correspond to the right canvas size in pixels. Is there a way for me to know which height size I need the slider to be in order to fit ? For reference, here's both a graph and a slider with width 25 and height of 100, see they mismatch and the slider is higher [image: Screen Shot 2021-01-24 at 20.40.23.png] cheers

Get IP from Pd + network broadcast
by João Pais 24 Jan '21

24 Jan '21

Hi list, I wanted to check if there are any new methods to get one's own ip from Pd - that is, so that a user doesn't go check the system settings. It would be necessary for all windows, macos and linux. Older messages talk about using [shell] in unix systems, and some hack with a batch file in windows. If this is still the current method, how would one activate a batch file in windows from inside pd? As my knowledge of network isn't that good, just to check: to send a broadcast message for all peers in the same network, is the correct IP e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx.255? I read somewhere that 255.255.255.255 was also for broadcast, but since it's not working I imagine I read wrong. Resuming: to send a broadcast message in the network, it's necessary to know the first 3 parts of one's IP? And final question: besides netpd, are there any known public patches where users from several networks can connect to and send/receive data? Best, jmmmp

Patch change via midi
by Andrew Lyons 23 Jan '21

23 Jan '21

Hi, I have a headless raspberry pi that boots into a PD patch I created. (I control it with a midi wind controller and an FCB 1010 midi foot controller.) I have observed that bypassing certain sections of the patch with MIDI signals generated by the foot pedal board does not actually stop those sections of the patch from processing, and using CPU bandwidth. I was wondering if it was possible to cease processing sections of a patch somehow? Maybe by stopping a sub-process or something? Alternatively, I was wondering if it was possible to load a different patch upon input of a certain midi program change? Thanks!

hexadecimal conversion problem
by oliver 20 Jan '21

20 Jan '21

hi, i'm trying to convert arbitrary hexadecimal numbers to decimal ones, preferably with vanilla objects. while it's easy to do it the other way round with [makefilename], i'm facing a peculiar problem from hex --> dec when the letter E is present and followed by a number. my approach would be to take a hex number, interpret it as a symbol, get each hex-digit's ascii value, and do the conversion from there let's take the hex number 27E5 as an example no matter what sort of conversion i try ([symbol], [list tosymbol], [makefilename], [fudiformat]), PD always interprets it as a decimal number with an exponent, so [27E5( | makefilename %s | [print] will give me "symbol 2.7e+006" in the console (or in a symbol atom). (of course a number like 27A5 or 275E expands with no problem to a straight symbol and can then be ascii-fied) is there anything i can do to make PD take 27E5 as a literal symbol rather than a float ? best oliver -- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ /////////////// http://pendler.klingt.org ////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ http://oliver.klingt.org \\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

[cyclone/grab]: grab values from outside an abstraction?
by Alexandre Torres Porres 19 Jan '21

19 Jan '21

Hi, I'm thinking of working on a variation of cyclone/grab. In short, cyclone/grab can grab values from an object connected to its right outlet, so if you have [f 10], it'll get the value "10" for you and output it on the left outlet if you send it a bang. Now, what I wanted was to use this object inside a subpatch or abstraction, but then I'm connecting it to the [outlet] object and grab tries to grab the output of that and it just doesn't work. So I wonder if there is a way to make the object know what the outlet connects to and grab it from there. For reference, here's the code of [grab]: https://github.com/porres/pd-cyclone/blob/master/cyclone_objects/binaries/c… cheers
