To: "padawan12(a)obiwannabe.co.uk" <padawan12(a)obiwannabe.co.uk>
Hrmph. Now I'm being harangued for suggesting people use spaces in
filenames? This is 2010, not 1985. Spaces in paths/filenames are handled by
OSX, Windows, Linux, etc. Personally, I use both, with a preference for
spaces on the Gui and no spaces when I'm working in the terminal. Tab
completion works just fine with spaces.
I see you're point, but it's not going to convince all of the people out
there to batch convert their filenames because the *should*.
Add a disclaimer to the heading of the floss manual page.

Try:
"list camilocadavid/Secuencias/Bajo_fiesta1 80.aif"
|
[l2s]
|
"read -resize $1 Bajo"
but really your life will be much easier when you rename your files so
that they do not have spaces in the filenames.
If your objective is just to load the AIFF, why not use
"bang"
|
[openpanel]
|
"read -resize $1 Bajo"
???
Best,
Derek

Medialab-Prado receives an Honorary Mention at Prix Ars Electronica
2010
_May 31, 2010_
*The production platform Interactivos? wins an Honorary Mention in the
category of "Interactive Art" as a unique space for the collective
creation of interactive installations.*
Since Interactivos? was held for the first time in 2006, it has had
remarkable success with its open innovation model, in which ten ideas
chosen through a public open call are developed by groups of
collaborators from all over the world. They attend the workshop to
contribute their knowledge to carrying out the projects. During the
two-week workshop, a context for collective learning and living and
working together is created that generates surprising results.
To date, 17 workshops have been held around the world adhering to the
Interactivos? methodology, giving rise to over 150 projects including
augmented reality games, data visualization, performing arts,
experimental video games, and sound installations. Artists, designers,
educators, researchers, scientists, sociologists, etc. have taken part,
each contributing their varying types of knowledge and specializations,
making a very productive and enriching learning and creation environment.
Ars Electronica has given annual awards since 1987 to the most
outstanding projects in digital culture worldwide, including interactive
works and installations, digital communities, sound art, and computer
animation. In the case of Interactivos? from Medialab-Prado, an
exceptional award was given to a platform for experimentation and
collective creation of prototypes of interactive installations, whose
success has been proved throughout nine international workshops held in
various cities around the world (Madrid, New York, Lima, Mexico, Gijón
and San Sebastián) over the past four years.
The next Interactivos? workshop will be held at Medialab-Prado from 7-23
June 2010, titled *Interactivos?'10: Neighbourhood Science*
The call for collaborators will be open until June 4, 2010 (no
registration fee).

Hi everyone,
I intend to run Pd for an art installation, using the Theremin Controller patch by Charles Martin.Just two pretty basic questions, sorry for my ignorance to the Pd-lingo:
- by default, the audio settings show a maximum of 8 inputs. If I were to use an interface that contains more ins & outs, will Pd recognize it as such?- Charles Martin's Theremin patch uses two object-number-combinations to define the minimum-maximum range for the variables (the [*] object and the [+] object). Is it possible to store values for these in the patch itself, instead of redefining them at every start-up?
Thanks very much!JP

Hello list.
I am pleased to announce the last version of PCSLIB, a library of
external objects for PD that is devoted to Pitch-Class Sets and
Combinatorial Matrices being developed by Pablo Di Liscia and Pablo
Cetta.
Those of you that feel interested may download Documentation,
binaries, sources and examples here:
https://puredata.info/author/pdiliscia
Any feedback shall be most appreciated.
Dr. Oscar Pablo Di Liscia
All that has been said is true but I have used this combination of osculator
and pd, messages sent via OSC and midi using a number of gui objects and
inputs from other devices simultaneously with no major latency problems. Am
away from internet connection I can use to forward patches but can do so
next Wednesday if you still need, using extended on mac os x 10.5

Yeah, this is probably the problem. For some reason GUI objects seem to eat
up a large amount of CPU usage. Once you've asserted just what input you're
getting (Wiimote tends to come between 0 and 1) remove any number boxes,
sliders, etc which are displaying your wiimote input. If you need this then
you could display the data through GEM, which for some reason uses less
processing power

HI everyone,
I got a problem with GEM.
I'm running PD extended 0.41.4 in openSuse 11.1
and after several weeks of tries I'm still not able to make GEM work.
It always returns the following message:
.../
Gem.pd_linux: undefined symbol: _ZN6FTFont4BBoxEPKwRfS2_S2_S2_S2_S2_
Gem:
can't load library
I have installed the font Bitstream Vera as suggested but the problem persists somebody knows what's happening?
Many
thanks in advance for your help.

Hello all,
If anyone happens to be in Montréal, for whatever reason, in the next few
days, drop by and say hi. Major part of this uses Pd. All thanks to

As part of Concordia University’s series of Branché events, *NEXUS* is a
comprovisational (composition + improvisation) journey
that will interpret the 2010 Congress of the Humanities and Social
Sciencesin a unique musical form.
Five musicians, each equipped with a laptop computer,* *loudspeaker, and
‘Follow Me’ signs,
wander on different paths through Concordia's downtown campus.
Connected and inspired via wireless network, the musicians improvise their
takes on a complex
score by Sandeep Bhagwati, reacting to place, space and pace.
Like pied cyber-pipers, they perform intertwined music walks all over
campus -
until they finally unite all their listeners at a breathtaking location for
a final musical ritual.
* PERFORMANCES*
*May 30, June 1 & June 3*
from *17h00* to *18h00*
throughout Concordia University, SGW campus & gathering at the *Cloud Deck*,
3rd floor atrium of the MB building (1450 rue Guy).
*Featuring*
Lori Freedman (bass clarinet)
Amy Horvey (trumpet)
Guy Pelletier (alto flute)
Jen Reimer (french horn)
Emily Shapiro (clarinet)
Michal Seta - Wireless technology
Gaïa Orain-Wark - Costumes
