Re: [PD] pd on Mac OSX 10.9

[Theron Trowbridge]

The weird thing is, XQuartz is still installed and launches after the
upgrade.  And if you launch Pd-extended, the Pd window shows up before
complaining that it needs X11.  Re-installing XQuartz does fix things.

The Mavericks upgrade also changed my security settings so I had to go tell
it to run programs from all publishers before I could run some of my
software.

Re: [PD] audio output AND input with the Rpi?

[Theron Trowbridge]

There's good info on http://puredata.info/docs/raspberry-pi covering this,
if you haven't seen it.

There seem to be a limited number of interfaces that work.  And some people
have to slow down the USB port to get clean audio (myself included, using
the iMic (
http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-Technology-iMic-Audio-Device/dp/B000BVV2IC).
 And I have to use a wireless keyboard/mouse if I'm not connecting via ssh (
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004KSQANO/).  It's not ideal, and a
little annoying that the accessories are more than the cost of the
Raspberry Pi.  But it works.

The USB port is slowed down by adding "dwc_otg.speed=1" to /boot/cmdline.txt

Re: [PD] New Blankets names Jonathan Wilkes "Artist in Transit Fellow" + *PdWeekend* in California November

[Theron Trowbridge]

I wanted to update everyone with links to RSVP for the Pd Weekend events
coming up in L.A. next month.

These events are being sponsored by New Blankets (many thanks to Joe Deken)
and CRASH Space.  We are very excited about the line up - there are four
great workshops, plus a concert and a patching circle.  All these events
are good for any experience level.  So if you're in the Los Angeles area
that weekend, please take a look at the CRASH Space blog (
http://blog.crashspace.org/2013/10/pd-weekend-2013/) or the Eventbrite
links below.


Saturday, November 16th

Pure Data + Raspberry Pi: The Adventure Continues - Miller Puckette will
show how to get Pd up and running on the Raspberry Pi, and show what you
can do with it.  For those without a Raspberry Pi, there is a separate
ticket for a RPi kit.  https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812276757

DIY Live Sampling Microphone Build & Slice//Jockey - Katja Vetter will show
how to build an inexpensive but quality DIY microphone suitable for use as
part of a live sampling setup, and will show how to use it with
Slice//Jockey (and of course other Pd patches, Max/MSP, or whatever).
https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812423195

Laptop Orchestrating With Your Friends - Ico Bukvic will teach an
introduction to Pd, plus Pd-L2ork and it's K-12 education module.  He will
cover alternative input devices, laptop scoring and performance strategies
and we will have a collaborative performance.
https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812515471

Your Computer, Your Creativity - Jonathan Wilkes will cover how to use your
computer in new and creative ways using Pure Data.
https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812597717


Then, Saturday night, we have a FREE concert (a $5 donation at the door is
suggested to cover the costs of putting on Pd Weekend) with our special
guest instructors, plus local musicians covering a wide range of musical
styles, from live sampling to circuit bending to chiptunes to
who-knows-what:
* Joe Newlin
* Jim Bumgardner
* Andy Ben
* Jeff Boynton
* Timon Marmex
* Raymond Weitekamp

We do request that you RSVP for this event if possible, though it is FREE:
https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812708047


Finally, on Sunday, November 17th, we will be having a very special
patching circle with Miller and our special guests, plus others.  We're
still planning, but Miller will show what's new with Pd 0.45.  This is also
FREE and open to everyone.  We do request you RVSP for the patching circle
if possible, though (again) it is FREE:
https://www.eventbrite.com/event/8812748167


All these events will be taking place at the STAR Prep Academy at 10101
Jefferson Blvd. in Culver City.  They are graciously providing
accommodations so that these events can be larger than what we could hold
at CRASH Space.


If you have any questions, feel free to post to the list, or e-mail me (
theron.trowbri...@gmail.com) or Joe (newblank...@newblankets.org) directly.



Thanks,

-Theron

Re: [PD] Copies of Miller's Pd+Raspbian system-image (Oct 7, , 2012) available

[Theron Trowbridge]

There weren't any materials other than the SD card.  Beyond the how-to of
talking to the Pi, it was a basic intro to Pd class.

There is a video of the class on Ustream (well, the first three hours).
 Warning: it's a little dark and completely unedited, but you can hear
Miller just fine:

[PD] Pd Raspberry Pi Class At CRASH Space Los Angeles Sunday 10/7 3 PM

[Theron Trowbridge]

There has been much discussion bout running Pd on the Raspberry Pi on the
list lately, so folks might be interested in a class that we will be
hosting at CRASH Space in Los Angeles.

Sunday, October 7th from 3-7 PM

The class will be taught by Miller Puckette and will be hands-on workshop
on how to install and use Pure Data on the Raspberry Pi.  Every participant
will receive a SD card with the Raspberian wheezy OS with Pd already
installed.  You can stick it in your Raspberry Pi and start patching.

*This event will be held at the **Culver City Veterans Memorial Building,
located at 4117 Overland
Avenue,
Culver City, CA**, in the Uruapan Room.  The location is just a few blocks
away from CRASH Space.  There will be a reception with snacks at CRASH
Space following the event.*
*
*
There are 30 seats available, cost is $80.  You can sign up here:
http://crashspacepdpi.eventbrite.com/

For attendees who do not yet have a Raspberry Pi, we will have kits
available including a Pi, power supply, and an ethernet crossover cable.

There are a limited number of scholarships available for students and
teachers.  Contact theron.trowbri...@gmail.com for more information.

More information on the CRASH Space blog:
http://blog.crashspace.org/2012/09/pd-pi-pure-data-on-raspberry-pi-class-with-miller-puckette-sunday-107/

We will try to UStream the event for those who are out there in Internet
land (though internet access is apparently limited in the venue).  We will
be streaming though the CRASH Space Ustream channel:

Re: [PD] New motion sensor

[Theron Trowbridge]

I saw a demo of the unit at Maker Faire this past weekend, and it looked
impressive.  Not only cheaper than the Kinect, but they say it's
significantly higher resolution.  I'm looking forward to playing with one.
 And talking to reps for the company, they seem supportive of developers
and want to see what they do with it.  There is a link on the web site to
apply for a free dev kit.

[PD] Los Angeles Patching Circle, Etc.

[Theron Trowbridge]

The next pd-la patching circle will be on Sunday 13 May 2012 from 12-5 pm,
at CRASH Space (10526 Venice Blvd., Culver City, CA 90232).

We're planning on having some special guests and demonstrations, including
Chris McCormick Skyping in from Australia to talk about his new album.

The patching circle is an informal gathering of anyone who is interested in
patching languages (Pure Data, Max/MSP/Jitter, etc). Beginners and
experienced patchers welcome. Open to everyone – work on personal
professional projects, school work, or just patch quietly to yourself, in a
room full of other people patching patches and helping other people patch.

Open and free to all (donations to support CRASH Space are encouraged) –
come and bring your Pd, Max/MSP, and other noisy programming project to
work on.


The night before the patching circle (Saturday May 12th at 8 pm), we're
doing a Handmade Music L.A. event, which will feature some Pd-based
performances.  And other electronic and acoustic handmade musical
instruments and music.  More details on the CRASH Space blog:
http://blog.crashspace.org/2012/05/handmade-music/

On Wednesday, May 16th I'll be teaching a free introduction to Pd class at
CRASH Space.  This class is aimed at people who are brand new to Pd and
want to learn how to get started.  Space is limited, and signups are here:
http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=47


Lastly, the previously discussed Miller Puckette MUS 171 class videos are
finally available for download.  There are 20 of them, and we've made
slight changes to them if you got a copy from the USB sticks that have
circulated (the main change is that the slates were fixed - they were all
the same)  You can download them here:

[PD] Onyx Ashanti And Pd On Make:Live

[Theron Trowbridge]

Tonight's episode of Make:Live featured an interview and demonstration
by Onyx Ashanti, who builds his own electronic music controllers.  He
uses Pd to generate his music and, in response to a question from the
chat room about getting started in electronic music, he strongly
suggested checking out Pure Data.

They usually have the show archived the day after the live event, so
you should be able to watch sometime tomorrow.

Re: [PD] PD-Launch videos + Miller Puckette's 20-lecture puredata video course??

[Theron Trowbridge]

Hello, all.

The delay on the videos being posted is entirely my fault.  We found a
(really) minor problem with the videos and I need to fix all of them.

But the videos from the sticks exist.  The USB sticks are sold though
the CRASHspace store, but we don't really do shipping.

That being said, anyone who is interested in the videos should e-mail
me directly (theron.trowbri...@gmail.com).  I have shipped out copies
on DVD-R at cost and USB sticks as well.  The shipping internationally
can get a bit pricey, but I've shipped them around the world, too.

I apologize for the delay and any frustration I have caused.  We want
to get these videos out to everyone.

 Hi,

 I know the documentation of pd-Launch was quite iffy. But perhaps
 someone
 could let me know if it's been uploaded anywhere yet and, if so, where
 to
 find it. Also, I remember some usb sticks where for sale at some point
 with
 a supposed 20 lecture course on pd by Miller. Any way I can find that
 somewhere too?

[PD] [PD-announce] pd-la Patching Circle/Workshop With Peter Kirn

[Theron Trowbridge]

This is short notice because we just finalized the details, thanks to
schedules, travel plans, and hurricanes.  But this month we have two
events with special guest Peter Kirn.

Peter is a musician, Create Digital Music blogger
(http://createdigitalmusic.com/), and is involved in porting pdlib to
Processing and the design of the hackable synthesizer, the MeeBlip
(http://meeblip.noisepages.com/).

On Thursday, September 8th, from 7-10 PM, Peter will be teaching a
workshop about using pdlib within Processing.

“Image And Music: Make Your Own Musical Tools, Free, with Processing and Pd”

Workshop Thursday September 8th from 7-10 pm. Limited space, $60. Sign
up for the workshop in the store
(http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=38).

Make your own instrument, sequencer, or effect, then give it a visual
interface – not just fake knobs and buttons, but via any picture you
desire. Now you can, with two integrated tools, entirely for free.

More info on the blog:
http://blog.crashspace.org/2011/09/workshoppatching-circle-with-peter-kirn/

... or on CDM: 
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2011/09/workshop-in-la-make-your-own-musical-tools-free-with-processing-and-pd/

... and there's a Facebook event as well:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=188819641188788


On Sunday, September 11th, starting at Noon, Peter will join us for
the monthly Pd/Max/MSP patching circle. Bring your project from the
workshop, or any other project you’re working on. This is also a good
chance to learn more about Pure Data (Pd) or Max/MSP.

The patching circle meets at CRASHspace (10526 Venice Blvd, Culver
City CA 90232) and is open and free to all.  Donations to support
CRASHspace are of course welcome.

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Los Angeles Patching Circle Meeting This Sunday

[Theron Trowbridge]

We don't have anything specific planned this month (I'm still
recovering from Maker Faire last weekend) but will have for future
meetings.  Thanks for the suggestion.  We're just getting started
doing this in L.A. so we're still learning.

Re: [PD] Puckette Lectures?

[Theron Trowbridge]

If anyone who isn't in the L.A. area wants one of the USB sticks,
please e-mail me off list (theron.trowbri...@gmail.com) and let me
know where you would want it shipped.  I will handle the shipping of
these myself, and will let you know what shipping costs would be.

We don't (yet) have the infrastructure to ship items from the store,
which is why that bit is there, but for the most part the CRASHspace
store is there for our members, most of whom are local.  But I do
appreciate that this is an item that other folks might want, so I will
do my best to accomodate shipping requests.

Re: [PD] Puckette Lectures?

[Theron Trowbridge]

When the videos start showing up on the UCSD site, they will be
announced here, and a link on the Pd wiki is a good idea.  They're
being released under a Creative Commons license, so they'll be free to
be hosted for other forms of distribution as well.

They're mostly done - there's just a couple small tweaks to be made.

Re: [PD] [PD-announce] Streaming pd_LAunch Workshops, today and tomorrow

[Theron Trowbridge]

Sorry about that - we were attempting to record it, but there was a
hiccup and the bulk of Hans's workshop was unfortunately lost on
UStream.

I recorded it with a camcorder as a backup and will work to get that
available in some form and will update everyone here.  Unfortunately,
the screen doesn't show up very well, so it might not be all that
useful to everyone.

Barring any similar problems, we will be recording  Chris's workshop
tonight as well.  And will use the camcorder as well.  And I will see
if we can make the screen more legible.


One note - Chris's workshop starts at 19:00 PDT, a half hour earlier
than Hans's started, as it is planned to be a bit longer.

[PD] San Diego City Beat Article

[Theron Trowbridge]

There's a nice article about Miller, Pd, and artists who use it in their
work in the San Diego City Beat:

http://www.sdcitybeat.com/sandiego/article-8972-the-language-of-invention.html

It also mentions the Inception app and the pd-LAunch event in San Diego on
Monday.

[PD] Pure Data Workshop in Los Angeles , 2011-04-29

[Theron Trowbridge]

I am happy to announce another workshop for the pd-LAunch week (4/25-5/1) in
Los Angeles.  On Friday, April 29th at 7:00 PM, Chris McCormick will be
teaching a workshop at CRASHspace on using Pd as an embedded audio engine
for other applications.

Pd As Your Embedded Audio Engine

“Pd as your embedded audio engine” will teach all about embedding libpd as
the sound engine for your app, whether its iPhone, Android, Java,
OpenFrameworks, Processing, etc. This workshop provides a broad spectrum of
different ways of connecting Pd to other things. Having hardware isn’t a
requirement either. The workshop will cover ways of interfacing with Pd from
computer to computer. Bring your laptop and devices that you want to install
libpd on (Android, iPhone, etc.)

HTML and/or programming knowledge will certainly help. The aim of this
workshop is to give a broad spectrum of different ways to interface to Pd.
So it will be dipping very slightly into Python, C, Java, Javascript, but
this is usually “glue code” and all of the code will be fully provided. You
do not need to be proficient in these languages at all, the workshop will
also cover methods that also just use Pd with no code at all.
Here is an outline of topics:

* Introduction
* History of Pd as an engine
* Ways to interface with a Pd process:
  * Midi & OSC
  * FUDI
  * stdout
  * Python + sockets
  * pdsend/pdreceive
* Parsing patches in three languages
* libpd on Android and iOS
* PdWebKitDroid
* RjDj and ScenePlayer
* WebPd

Students will need a laptop and should have Pd-extended installed and
working (download for free from http://puredata.info) – it is available for
Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

Space is limited.  Cost is $100.  Sign up at the CRASHspace store:
http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=30

CRASHspace is located at 10526 Venice Blvd, Culver City CA 90232.

[PD] Pure Data Workshop 2011-04-28

[Theron Trowbridge]

We are in the process of finalizing our plans for the pd-LAunch week
(4/25-4/30) in Los Angeles and are pleased to announce that on Thursday,
April 28th at 7:30 pm, Hans-Christoph Steiner will be teaching a workshop at
CRASHspace on using Pure Data for interactive audio creation.


Starting with Realtime Audio/Video Interaction

Pd provides a wide range of tools for tracking and extracting information
from audio in realtime.  Once in Pd, we can use the audio to control sound
generation, effect, video, camera processing, etc. The combination of audio
processing and digital media provide myriad opportunities for creating
interactions. This workshop will introduce how to create real-time
interaction in the physical world with sound and light. Pd (aka Pure Data)
will be introduced as a simple programming environment for real-time
interaction.  This workshop will be a combination of short lectures,
hands-on instruction, and unstructured time to work on learning and
exploring with support of the instructor. While Pd is fairly easy to learn
and designed for artists, familiarity with basic computer programming will
be very beneficial. You will be able to apply the concepts learned in this
course to a wide range of programming environments that can receive data via
OSC messages or a network socket, such as Arduino, Flash, Processing, etc.

Students are also encouraged to bring additional hardware and/or tools they
are interested in working with, as long as they are technically
self-sufficient with them.  Bring MIDI equipment, projectors, etc. to
experiment with realtime control. Bring an Arduino with Firmata plus servos
or motor controllers to experiment with motion. Or accelerometers, rotary
sensors; flex sensors, etc. to experiment with sensing motion.

Students will need a laptop with Pd-extended installed and working (download
for free from http://puredata.info) - it is available for Linux, Mac OS X,
and Windows.  The laptop needs to have a microphone and speakers.

Space is limited.  Cost is $60.  Sign up in the CRASHspace store:
http://store.crashspacela.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=28

CRASHspace is located at 10526 Venice Blvd, Culver City CA 90232.

Re: [PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[Theron Trowbridge]

Thanks, everyone!  The re-ordering of elements in the message so that they
go in the desired order makes total sense.  So does the the [ * 2 ] and [ +
] objects.

Works nicely and is much cleaner than what I had before.  (Attached, but it
looks basically like all the suggestions.)

Next question - is a table the best way to be storing the state table?  This
is for a 16x16 Monome, so I need 256 values, and I need to be able to access
specific chunks at a time (column by column).  Would [coll] make more sense?
 It seems to have good management tools with nth, nsub, etc.

Re: [PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[Theron Trowbridge]

That worked very nicely.  I had to change the until input to 4 to get it to
do the right number of iterations, since the input didn't also kick off the
loop, but that's fine.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what was going on before, but I now have a
[trigger] object that does the [tabread] first, and then the mod/div math.
 So I understand why it works now.  Just not exactly why it didn't before :)

Now...  I have another [pipe 0] object in the button_handler sub-patch which
delays a message while a [expr] object does its thing.  Replacing it with a
[trigger] doesn't work.  But it's not coordinated with the other outputs of
the [unpack] object.

Is there an object like [trigger] that has multiple inputs and lets you
control the timing of the outputs?  [pipe] can take multiple inputs but
doesn't have the same right-to-left coordinated output that [trigger] does.

The FLOSS manual says that the order you hook things up in part determines
the order they do things.  But I can't make that make a difference.


Thanks,

Re: [PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[Theron Trowbridge]

Thanks!  I used [pipe] because I had an obvious timing problem and that was
an explicit delay object.  Didn't occur to me that [trigger] could control
the timing as well.  It's use wasn't obvious to me from what I had read
about it.

I will make the adjustments you suggest and see where I get.  I expect I
will have more questions.


Thanks again,

[PD] Need Help Understanding pack

[Theron Trowbridge]

I've looked over the help patches, the FLOSS manual, and at a number of
examples, but I'm clearly missing something.

I'm trying to build a proof-of-concept state table for a grid sequencer.  I
figured out to use an array to store my states, and I can write to and read
from the table, except when I'm trying to use pack.

The reason for pack is to get the column, row, and state of each button in a
range of the state table (will be a single column in my end use, but I'm
doing the whole thing for now).

Attached is a patch with a 2x2 grid set up and you can click on them and set
the state table.  That works.  It's the lookup part that doesn't.  I'm
stepping through the entire state table, deriving the column and row from
the index and looking up the value of that index.  This all works until I
send those three pieces of information to a pack object, it re-arranges
things in inconsistent manner.  Clearly there's either a timing thing or I'm
not understanding the data flow of what I'm doing.  Or maybe I'm just not
getting the point of pack.

I'm pretty new to this and every step is a struggle, so any suggestions are
welcome.  But if there are any tips or pointers on why pack is not working
the way I think it should - or what I should be using to accomplish what I'm
trying to do - I would appreciate it.



Long-winded description of how the attached patch is behaving:

Buttons are arranged in column, row order.  I'm just storing 0/1 values in
the state_table array.  If I click on the first and last buttons, my array
is then 1 0 0 1.  So state_table[i] gets me the off/on value for the button.
 i div 2 gets me the column number and i mod 2 gets me the row number.

If I just print these three outputs I get everything out in the order I
expect:

column: 0
row: 0
state: 1
column: 0
row: 1
state: 0
column: 1
row: 0
state: 0
column: 1
row: 1
state: 1

If I send the three values into a pack object and print the output of that,
I get:

pack: 0 1 0
pack: 0 0 1
pack: 1 1 0
pack: 1 0 0

I would expect this:

pack: 0 0 1
pack: 0 1 0
pack: 1 0 0
pack: 1 1 1

So things are coming in the wrong order overall, and the state values are
wrong.


Thanks,

Re: [PD] change in compression detection

[Theron Trowbridge]

If you normalize the output of the filter you describe to the same peak
amplitude as the original, it's RMS value will certainly increase.  Having
the peaks at a common reference point is critical.

Re: [PD] change in compression detection

[Theron Trowbridge]

You are correct - you can't know for sure without the original audio to
compare.  But there is a tool called TAU Analyzer that attempts to detect
signs of bitrate (as opposed to dynamic range) compression in audio:

http://en.true-audio.com/Tau_Analyzer_-_CD_Authenticity_Detector

(Windows only, unfortunately)

Since most lossy audio codecs slice audio into frequency bands and look to
see which of those can be eliminated based on human psychoacoustic models,
bands of missing frequencies are often a tell-tale sign of compression.  But
not always - it can also indicate heavy or sloppy DSP.
