Advice request for developers
by Gabriel Perboni 20 Dec '24

20 Dec '24

Hello! This is my condition: I'm visually impaired so I'm determined to learn how to code in order to make Pure Data accessible to my (and maybe others) needs. Hacking into stuff to adapt them to my condition is not something new to me, but I'm not a programmer, meaning I can not write something from scratch but I usually can snoop around the source code and find what I need to change. Now my question: I'm under the impression that C would be the way to go, but I would like to receive input from developers that can advise me what is the best learning path in order to reach my goal, which is first to be able to build Pd from source with the "right" colors and then some... Note: I know about Pd Next and other solutions that deal with Pd's GUI limitations but as my sight condition is very specific, so are my needs. Thanks! -- Gabriel Perboni gabrielperboni(a)gmail.com +55 16 99701-1902

[PD-announce] Call for submissions: ECHO #7 - Speculative Sound Synthesis
by David Pirrò 16 Dec '24

16 Dec '24

Call for submissions: ECHO #7 - Speculative Sound Synthesis Deadline: February 28 2025 The online journal ECHO invites submissions for its upcoming seventh issue on "Speculative Sound Synthesis," edited by David Pirrò, and Leonie Strecker. ECHO is the online publication of the Music, Thought and Technology research group at Orpheus Instituut, Ghent. The artistic practice of sound synthesis has evolved in close relation to science and technology. This relationship has been fundamental, offering new means and methods for experimentation while simultaneously instilling a strong pull toward standardisation, closure, and control. "Speculative Sound Synthesis" destabilises and recomposes the multilayered relationship between technology and artistic practice, seeking to unleash aesthetic potentials that would remain unseen or hidden by technological habits. Speculation, in this context, denotes a questioning attitude that emphasises hypothetical thinking, curiosity, and exploration. As an artistic practice, speculation functions as a situated oscillation between experience and imagination, generating new forms of knowledge and opening pathways to novel aesthetic thinking. This special issue welcomes contributions from practitioners who are committed to critical and speculative approaches at the intersection of art and technology. Within this hybrid space, synthesis is understood both as a means of producing new forms and, in a more abstract sense, the practice of bringing forth assemblages of materials and concepts. We seek contributors engaged in practices that question, challenge, criticise, deconstruct, recompose, reformulate, shift, dislocate, endanger, or reject established standards of sound synthesis, exploring aesthetic positions that offer alternative perspectives on thinking and creating sound. For further details and submission instructions, please click: https://echo.orpheusinstituut.be/current-call This issue is edited by the Speculative Sound Synthesis research project team. The "Speculative Sound Synthesis" project is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) within the Programme for Arts-based Research (PEEK) – PEEK AR 713-G and is hosted by the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. https://speculative.iem.at/ _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list -- pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at To unsubscribe send an email to pd-announce-leave(a)lists.iem.at

[PD-announce] Workshop Click Tracker 14th December, 14h CET
by João Pais CT 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Dear List, on Saturday the 14th of December at 14h CET there will be a online Click Tracker workshop. The workshop is free of charge, but participants must enroll at https://bit.ly/workshop_click_AnT You can also find all information in the facebook event https://fb.me/e/4g3JEAfxN Feel free to share this information with anyone insterested. The goal of this workshop is to learn how to use the Click Tracker app, developed by João Pais for the creation of click tracks. The Click Tracker is a powerful tool that can help musicians either with the creation process, the preparation and rehearsing or even performance of musical works with a certain degree of metric complexity, or simply to synchronise electronic means with instruments. During this workshop, João Pais will present the Click Tracker features, demonstrating how to create files for a number of different situations (changing tempi, time signatures, etc). Before the workshop, each participant will receive an email with the details for the access to the online session. You can find more information and tutorial, as well as download the application at https://jmmmp.github.io/clicktracker/ Participants are strongly encouraged to previously send a PDF referring to practical cases they might like to see discussed during the session. Best, João Pais -- Click Tracker Mobile -https://bit.ly/click-tracker-mob Click Tracker Website -http://j.mp/click-tracker Click Tracker Library -https://bit.ly/ClickTrackerLibrary Facebook -http://j.mp/clicktrackerfb _______________________________________________ Pd-announce mailing list -- pd-announce(a)lists.iem.at To unsubscribe send an email to pd-announce-leave(a)lists.iem.at

running python script with [command] outputs info only when script exits
by Alexandros Drymonitis 10 Dec '24

10 Dec '24

Is it possible to run a Python script with [command] that runs a `while True` loop and have it print data to the middle outlet of [command] continuously? I can't see how to make this work. As a test, I wrote the script below and tested it: ``` from time import sleep for i in range(10): print(i) sleep(1) ``` [command] will output 10 numbers together when the script exits. Is it possible to get the incrementing variable i printed every second?
