[PD-announce] New Externals for the SoundScape Renderer + ASDF external
by Matthias Geier 31 Dec '23

31 Dec '23

Hi all. We have recently released version 0.6.1 of the SoundScape Renderer (SSR), which is a tool for real-time spatial audio reproduction providing a variety of rendering algorithms, e.g. Wave Field Synthesis, Higher-Order Ambisonics and binaural techniques. Most of the rendering back-ends of the SSR have been available as Pd externals for many years, the Binaural Room Synthesis (BRS) renderer has been added recently. However, the externals had to be compiled manually, which might have kept some potential users from trying them. But now, the SSR externals are also available with Deken! I don't know if I have to explain it on this list, but just in case: go to "Help" -> "Find externals", search for "ssr" and click "install"! Then, put an object [declare -path ssr] into your patch, and now you can use the externals ssr_binaural~, ssr_brs~, ssr_dca~, ssr_aap~, ssr_wfs~ and ssr_vbap~. You can feed audio signals to the externals and use messages to change their positions (and volume etc.). For more details, see the help patches. Alternatively, you can use the brand-new asdf~ external to load a dynamic audio scene using the Audio Scene Description Format (ASDF, https://audioscenedescriptionformat.readthedocs.io/). This will provide the source signals and the control messages for you. Again, just search for "asdf", click "install" and put an object [declare -path asdf] into your patch. Currently, there are not many example scenes available, but for starters you can have a look here: https://github.com/AudioSceneDescriptionFormat/asdf-example-scenes/ This is our first generation of Pd externals via Deken. If you find any problems or if you have suggestions for improvements, please let us know via the issue trackers at https://github.com/SoundScapeRenderer/ssr or https://github.com/AudioSceneDescriptionFormat/asdf-rust. cheers, Matthias _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list Pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce

Preset management for Pd Vanilla
by Alexandre Torres Porres 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Never really needed fancy preset management other than storing messages in a basic vanilla way. But I've seen people mention how Pd lacks a nice preset system. Not that I know what a fancy one actually needs since I never felt the demand. So I'm here to ask what people use in Pd Vanilla, be it a pure vanilla solution or an external. And also to ask what people miss. This is what I came up with as a pure vanilla abstraction, it's based on [text] and [savestate]. Here's the thing: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1A0ISEJo5F1E578WHM1doo1n2CJAthonU/view?usp=… In short, the preset abstraction takes messages and stores them. You can have many of these on your patch and use them to recall presets for any parameters. It takes any kind of messages. I'm making use of built-in sends and receives in the number boxes to make the patch cleaner. Just think that you can have separate control of each parameter having its own preset or group all of them together globally, or a group here and another there, whatever... Once you save the patch, the presets you saved get stored in the patch. As for my current idea for my ELSE library, I'm using an object similar to grab to take messages from [receive] objects. It's a development over this original vanilla abstraction. My first draft is this, I hope that sharing the screenshot give you a nice idea. [image: Screen Shot 2021-01-21 at 04.47.42.png] You can check what's up in my repository for more details... https://github.com/porres/pd-else/blob/master/Classes/Abstractions/preset.pd cheers

soundtouch~ for Pd Vanilla
by Alexandre Torres Porres 31 Oct '23

31 Oct '23

Hi folks, I'm on a vibe of uploading missing libraries and objects for Pd Vanilla on deken. On the list I have FFTease, Lyonpotpourri, CICM-Tools and more stuff that I'm looking into, just so you know... Now, I see there's an old soundtouch~ external here: http://www.katjaas.nl/pitchshift/soundtouch~.html - it's "version 0.9" by Katja Vetter. It was developed with SoundTouch version 1.6 and Pure Data version 0.42. I tested on Pd 0.51-4 32 bits on mac and it works fine. There are binaries for download on the link above, but not for 64 bits. I wonder if anyone wants to help me build these with pd-lib-builder and all. Now, the ceammc librarym (and Pd-ceammc distribution) has a soundtouch~ external too. It's the same name, but not the same external, this one is marked as "version 0.1". So we do already have "a" soundtouch~ for vanilla, but I wanted to also get katja's external up there. So I just uploaded the download from that page here https://github.com/porres/pd-soundtouch - It's just the download as it is and we need to change to hopefully use pd-lib-builder, which would make things easier. I did try that and it didn't work. So, anyone onboard with this? cheers

The RPi 5 has been announced. The analog audio jack is gone (boo!) but there is now a separate I/O controller chip so I *hope* real-time USB audio will be improved (yeah!). https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/introducing-raspberry-pi-5/ enohp ym morf tnes ----------- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com

round off the corners of a [line] movement?
by Peter P. 27 Sep '23

27 Sep '23

Hi list, often when I use [lineÅ¡] to make frequency glissandi, the point when the ramp starts, and the point where it ends, appear as very sudden events to my ears. I am wondering if there is an easy way to gradually speed up the ramp when it starts, and slow it down before it reaches its target value? The only way I can think of so far is to model such a behavior with two masses connected by an elastic link using the pmpd library. But a vanilla way would be very interesting too! Thanks in advance for all ideas and pointers! cheersz, Peter

Re: [PD] Rectangle object does not understand [width 7( message

I have not seen the sense to send a simple patch as > it would not show the behaviour of the rendered Gem window under wsl2. This isn't actually the point of sending a test patch... it's to help *other* people on *other systems* check that GEM itself is not broken *and* to double-check how you are using the objects & commands. Making a separate, minimal patch also isolates one problem form what could be other problems of usage, ie. layers of GL commands which might affect each other. I agree with Cyril that a minimal patch would have been helpful. In any case, good luck. -------- Dan Wilcox @danomatika <http://twitter.com/danomatika> danomatika.com <http://danomatika.com/> robotcowboy.com <http://robotcowboy.com/>

Is the source server down?
by Samuel Burt 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi. Having a problem with puredata.info. I'm trying to access https://msp.puredata.info/Software/pd-0.54-0.src.tar.gz, but it's failing. The only link on the releases page for 0.54-0 that works for me is Debian because it is hosted elsewhere. Just want to make sure the maintainers know. Maybe the problem is with Miller's server? Any idea when it might be back up? Sam

Rectangle object does not understand [width 7( message
by Csaba Láng 22 Sep '23

22 Sep '23

Hi list, I have a windows system with wsl2 Ubuntu distro on it. Installing on the ubuntu subsystem pd and compiling Gem from Dekken, the rectangle object does not understand the [width $1( message in case I want to draw bordering lines. On windows it has no problem and other ubuntu not subsystem can handle the message as well. Does anybody have any clue how I can fix it? Thanks in advance for any ideas. Best, Popesz
