Would you mind posting your working patch to the list? I made a patch

 hmm. no luck today. tried an eyetoy camera @ 640x480 using
 your patch, the freshly compiled pix_artoolkit external and
 a hiro pattern.
 unfortunately i didn't use the most recent Gem from svn
 (I'll do so when I'm awake again).
 
 I attached a patch showing the use of a transformation
 matrix which you'll get from most tracking systems. I'm not
 quite sure which format it'll be from artoolkit, but I'm
 sure its not compatible with mine out of the box. also units
 migt be some factors too big (marker size is given in
 millimeters, so i assume the translation will also be set in
 mm.
 
 I saw there's an option to use quaternion output for
 rotations (I'm not very familiar with that) or normal
 output which is is probably a 3d vector for translation and
 a rotation matrix.

 hi, mark
 
 I did some quick changes which should let you display
 something.
 
 the gemwin is now 10 times bigger than usual, and the far
 clipping plane beyond which everything disappears is set
 to 3000, you might want to adjust that.
 
 to me it seems like it outputs millimeters as unit - but
 maybe it's no sensible unit at all. the size of the cube 40
 is actually a 80x 80x80 cube which matches the default
 marker size.
 
 if you plan to use artoolkit as an augmented reality device
 you'll have to measure your isight camera somehow and adjust
 your virtual camera in the gemwin to match your real
 camera's parameters. it's also possible to do it without
 measurements, but it can be an endless gefrickel (I
 realized that at a point and then did the measurements which
 made everything more comfortable for my tracking system).
 it's not that difficult, but my experience was that I had to
 carefully note everything and make some drawings, showing
 the relations between the real camera's angles and and the
 virtual camera.
 
 maybe check some computer graphics books for details on
 that. if they are to mathematical - throw it away and get
 another one, this stuff can also be explained in an easy to
 understand manner...

If you have any mails that timed out after 1 or 2 days, you should re-send 
them, and now is the time!


Note that it says Permanent failure in that case, and not Temporary

Some mail servers auto-retry for only 1 day, some others auto-retry for 4 
days. (I have no idea how many are one way or the other but I've seen 
both).


When a mail is on auto-retry, it may take a few hours until the next 
retry. Some threads may be received in the wrong order, but fortunately, 
the Date: field still works, etc.

hi,

yes, I'm on linux (ubuntu intrepid). I just downloaded the 0.42.5 
intrepid autobuild but artoolkit-support isn't compiled in there. Seems 
like only mac (and windows?) versions have artoolkit support compiled in.


I was using pd-extended 0.41.1 and the 0.92.1  gem release from 
sourceforge yesterday.


later today I noticed that I was in error again when writing that 
pix_artoolkit isn't contained in gem-svn, it's there, but in an extra 
folder and I didn't manage to compile it...


hoping the list comes back soon to give some more answers...

hi martin,
 
sorry i was wrong in stating that i was using:

pd-extended 41.4 release on osx 10.6.2

I am actually using the latest autobuild off hans site so:

Pd version 0.42.5-extended GEM: ver: 0.92.1 

with this version of extended i get:

[pix_artoolkit]: ARToolKit support by Shigeyuki Hirai

when loading pix_artoolkit rather than:

error: [pix_artoolkit]: compiled without ARToolKit support! 

on extended 0.41.4 so im assuming something was fixed (obviously :) maybe from 
out of the last discussion from last year? i cant find thread because it seems 
like the list is down again... 

your on linux no? 

 its right outlet), I'd be interested in what camera,

ah... built in isight..

i left the printed hiro test pattern at the uni so ill give you some data 
printouts tomorrow morn when i get in...

I will take a look at your new patch you sent too!

Thanks!

 hi again.
 
 now I compiled the current gem release 0.92.1 from
 sourceforge (I could not find pix_artoolkit in svn)
 
 it contains some changes compared to my older version of
 pix_artoolkit source code, but unfortunately again no
 markers are recognized with my setup (pix_artoolkit does't
 output anything on its right outlet.)
 
 I also had a look at the cube part of the help patch you
 sent me and also the sources of pix_artoolkit. It seems it
 outputs 7 values which are: the translation (position) as a
 vector x y z, an other vector 'x y z' which is the direction
 of the detected rotation axis (the rotation normal) and a
 rotation angle around this axis. so the draw cube part of
 your help patch should work just fine if everything else
 (marker detection, marker recognition) works. maybe the size
 of the cube (40) is too big to see anything or the cube is
 only drawn behind the video. i changed that, see
 attachment.
 
 when i was working with tracking data in general I scaled
 everything to usual gem units, so that for example a desired
 range of 0 to 40 cm went from 0 to 4. so it fits in the
 usual gemwin for quick tests.
 
 I have no idea which units the external will output  -
 choose a smaller size for the marker than 80, until you can
 see something useful.
 
 my assumptions about the output of pix_artoolkit from
 yesterday are completely wrong (there's no matrix output) -
 so the patch I sent you before is pretty useless - sorry for
 that.
 
 if pix_artoolkit is working for you (outputting anything on
 its right outlet), I'd be interested in what camera,
 resolution, version of Gem you are using. Some output of the
 external would also help me improving the help patch - if
 necessary.
 
 cheers
 martin

  Why do you say it doesn't work for list?
 
 because it doesn't.

Well, if you send the message list 7 to [symbol] it will output 
symbol list, when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought to 
output symbol float.  Other than this, are there instances where 
[symbol] doesn't work correctly with lists?

 
  As far as I can tell you just need [route bang
 symbol], two message boxes, and a [symbol] object. 
 There's no need to protect the message boxes because
 whatever is coming out of inlet 0 and 1 of [route] is either
 a bang or a symbol, both of which will trigger the msg box's
 output without changing its content.
 
 You are right, two [b] are extraneous. You still need [b]
 to protect msgbox «symbol list» from [route list].

In light of what I wrote above, you'd actually need 
[route bang symbol float] to correctly convert lists with one float 
element.

[PD] PD and equal loudness: any ideas on approaching good live sound?

2009-11-24 Thread Dan Wilcox
Howdy,

I have some questions regarding methods to get optimal live sound in pd.

Using my electric guitar, I keep running into situations where the mix and 
loudness levels vary widely form place to place and system to system.  I am 
used to this happening with regular analog gear, but not with the rather 
annoying difficulties it adds in pd.  I run into feedback problems with the 
guitar or the mic, the mix sounds weak, etc.  I just cannot seem to get a good, 
consistent live sound when using the electric and a live mic .. *sigh*.

So my questions are:

What do you guys do for your live set?  Do you do some sort of EQ/compression 
on the final stage before going out the the dac~?
I found this post about the ears response to certain frequencies at different 
sound pressure levels 
http://gabesrocklog.blogspot.com/2009/08/eq-or-how-to-turn-down-suck-knob.html. 
  Should I try using these curves on an eq going out?
Does anyone know how commercial software deals with this?  It seems to me that 
Logic, Live, etc must have some sort of input/output compensation that I would 
need to replicate in order to have a more uniform sound across the board?
Is this just subjective and /or not possible?

Thanks for any ideas ...

Hallo,
Jonathan Wilkes hat gesagt: // Jonathan Wilkes wrote:

 Well, if you send the message list 7 to [symbol] it will output 
 symbol list, when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought to 
 output symbol float.  

Here (Pd version 0.42.4) [symbol], the object box, outputs symbol list.
However [symbol\, the graphical atom, shows float. Probably some artifact of
automatic converson going on behind our backs. A third possibility would be to
bail out with an error No message for list/float. I would prefer this
behaviour. It's consistent with the behaviour of [float] receiving a list abc
message.

Regarding all_about_data_types.pd: Personally I wouldn't trust this patch.

EQ/compression on the final stage before going out the the dac~?


A little bit of chaos theory... suppose you apply a filter on sound, and 
you take into account the net gain of the feedback, and you call all of it 
as f(x). What can you expect f(f(x)) to be? f(f(f(x))) ? f(f(f(f(x ? 
and so on. This tells you what happens with feedback.


If you have a compressor that systematically takes whatever there is and 
divides the dB by any fraction above 1 (e.g. by 1.1 such that -55 dB 
becomes -50 dB), then in «silence» it will pick up any tiny noise at the 
smallest noninfinite dB and will divide its dB by 1.1 many times until it 
becomes extremely loud. That's unstable feedback. (Stable feedback is when 
the dB of the echo is going down, but this fading out could be at any 
speed, even if it's slow.)


Therefore you can't add a plain compressor without aggravating any 
existing feedback, however tiny it is. You need to use something even more 
nonlinear than that, by adding something like a noisegate component. 
(nonlinear means anything not made by adding proportional parts).


I found this post about the ears response to certain frequencies at 
different sound pressure levels 
http://gabesrocklog.blogspot.com/2009/08/eq-or-how-to-turn-down-suck-knob.html. 
Should I try using these curves on an eq going out?


Those show you what's the gain in the ear. That doesn't tell you about the 
gain in your speakers, the gain in your amplifier, nor the gain due to 
reflection (vs absorption) on walls.

[PD] problem with MIDI (linux)

2009-11-24 Thread chi ball



Hi, I have a problem with pd 0.41.4 on Linux Mandriva 2010.
I run JACK (qjackctl from terminal as root), and then I open pd.

If in media I set: ALSA, ALSA-MIDI, in testtone audio is ok, MIDI is mute!
If in media I set jack, audio and midi in testtone are mute.
(In jack connections, pure data is connect with snd_emu10k1...)

My sound card use snd_emu10k1 driver.
I can listen correctly MIDI with Timidity...,sound from cd or YT..)
sound card is ok)

Any suggestions?
thanks

 When you send MIDI into pd, what do you expect to happen?


 MIDI coming into pd will not make any sound, it will provide messages to
 control things that make sound, if you build them or load them.

In testtone there is a midi test...a little patch.. ;)

A building who's lighting I can control via PD. 
I'll be honest, I'm not likely to own any kind of building any time soon.

Its a patch with examples, if you don't trust the examples, then that

Why do you say it doesn't work for list?


because it doesn't.


Well, if you send the message list 7 to [symbol] it will output
symbol list, when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought to
output symbol float.  Other than this, are there instances where
[symbol] doesn't work correctly with lists?


I think there are.  Anytime I find something like that, I make an  
example patch and add it to SVN.  I encourage others to add to this  
collection since they are quite helpful in thinking about how we can  
fix things to make them work easier:


https://pure-data.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pure-data/trunk/doc/additional/messageoddness

.hc


As far as I can tell you just need [route bang

symbol], two message boxes, and a [symbol] object.
There's no need to protect the message boxes because
whatever is coming out of inlet 0 and 1 of [route] is either
a bang or a symbol, both of which will trigger the msg box's
output without changing its content.

You are right, two [b] are extraneous. You still need [b]
to protect msgbox «symbol list» from [route list].


In light of what I wrote above, you'd actually need
[route bang symbol float] to correctly convert lists with one float
element.

I think someone (I forgot who) wrote an image to pd patch as lots of 
cnv objects converter once.

There's one in ggee, but: pure-data/externals/ggee/gui/image-help.pd 
says [image] works with .gif, .ppm, and .pgm image formats only.

Audio and MIDI should be separate here. I recommend using jack, and for that
to work you need jack running as the same user that is running pd, and make
sure that the pd output is connected to your sound card (this is easy to do
with qjackctl). See if other programs can make sound with jack. For AlSA
sound, make sure that no other program is hogging the sound card and
preventing pd from using it. For MIDI, use ALSA MIDI, and you can manage
MIDI connections also in qjackctl, under the connections-alsa tab.
