[PD] [ngrid]?

2011-02-10 Thread Tyler Leavitt
Hello all,

So I posed a question about calculating triangles made by intersecting lines
is a pentagon (thanks for the help Mathieu), and now that it is done I want
to easily control the 5 vertices. I remember using [ngrid] at some point,
which is [grid] but with multiple vertices... exactly what I need. Googling
turned up this:
http://puredata.hurleur.com/sujet-1378-designing-surround-sound-mixer which
basically says [ngrid] is in the ix library. Well I can't find any mention
of ix library anywhere...

Does anyone know of this library/[ngrid]? I just installed extended 0.42.5
fresh thinking it would be in there...but nothing.

Re: [PD] Music Made with Pd

 But about the technical setup it was my first time ever performing live with
 Pd, so I kind of created an ensemble of possibilities I could work with,
 however limiting myself to only four channels...

i think it depends on what is going on in a 'channel', whether 4 is a
limit, or the maximum number of things one can handle as a solo
performer. if it is basically a volume level, even much larger numbers
should be possible, while a single complex granular synthesizer
might be enough for a single player.

 One of the channels deal with, yes, granular synthesis (thanks to the
 nqpolywrap object) using long samples from the recordings (from 20 to 60
 seconds), but what makes them interesting is the range that I allow the
 grains to be selected from.

i have never heard of this object (i use pd vanilla, with only a few
externals most of the time, so it is probably included in extended?)
how are the grains selected? in my granular patches i have only used
position+random jitter so far, but more complex patterns, or a mixture
of grains from different positions might be interesting too. maybe
a good idea for a new granular patch...

 The second channel has another really simple synth based on two phasors,
 plus buckets full of reverb and some samphold to add dirt.

that was probably what i thought was the 'resampling effect'. (not
completely wrong though ;))

 The third channel is a so-called bass where I generate a random table with
 six values, and play them with the Monome so everytime I generate new values
 for the table I get new notes I'm not aware of, therefore I have to think
 really quick.

did you generate the values 'manually' on demand, or by some kind of
automatism (a metro for example)? i think both could be
quite challenging, while the latter variant provides less control
for the human performer...

 Yeah, that's it. I tried to keep it really simple to avoid overwhelming my
 processor and to be able to control as many parameters I could with the
 devices. I don't know if it was clever, but it was my own way of solving
 it...

large sets of parameters are always a problem, and some kind of
automation might be necessary to deal with the complexity.
i think the concept of 'scenes' can help a lot, like switching (or
crossfading) different pre-programmed sets of parameters.

bis denn!

Have a look at room_sim_2d from iemgui or the attachment. It's not the
library you're looking for but it should be what you described.

Here in belgium, in dutch, we also say other right/left, but since
french is one of our languages, that could be the origin, on the other
hand I dont really believe its language related: from inside a head
your left eye is not the same as from outside the head (like face
culling in OpenGL,...).
Instead I would think its just a softening for pointing out a mistake
through use of humor.

 But brain damage *is* a neurological thing :}

 But the phenomenon of confusing left and right is so common, that in Québec,
 we routinely call «gauche» «l'autre droite» (left is also known as the
 other right), and call «droite» «l'autre gauche» (right is also known as
 the other left), whenever someone picks the wrong direction after being
 given an instruction.

 (I don't know about the existence of such an expression anywhere else)

Re: [PD] Sigmund~ and tracks.

2011-02-10 Thread William Brent
Could you make a simple example patch that demonstrates the
rhythmicized/pulsed result that you don't like?  Without knowing
exactly what's going on in your patch, my first question would be
whether or not you're smoothing the frequencies and amplitudes with a
[line~] or something else.  Maybe sudden changes due to fleeting
tracking errors cause glitches that pulse in sync with the analysis
period?

With a violin as input you should get a reasonable enough spectrum to
get stable harmonic tracking with a window much smaller than 65536.
The low G on a violin is 196Hz, so the bin spacing you'd get with
-npts 4096 would give plenty of resolution for catching multiples of
that fundamental and higher ones, and only 92ms of extra delay. The
hop setting you choose will just affect how often the information is
updated (and CPU usage too).  You should expect to deal with some
temporary tracking errors during moments like attacks, where
components of the spectrum won't be in a perfectly harmonic
relationship.

Going beyond 131072 points using Pd's built-in mayer_fft() has given
me garbage as output in the past.  Maybe someone else knows something
about this limitation?

 Hi all,

 I'm doing a piece with a viola d'amore (7 string viol) where [sigmund~] is
 analysing the live input and feeding 48 tracks/partials to a bank of 48
 [osc~] for resynthesis and a bit of jiggery-pokery, mainly reversing the
 amplitudes so the quietest partials are the loudest and vice versa.

 The viola is playing long(ish) single notes between 1-3 seconds and the
 problem I am having is that when sigmund processes the partials they come
 out rhythmicised/pulses which seems to be a combination of the 'hop' and
 'npts' settings.  As the values for hop and npts get higher the pulses get
 longer up until my current huge setting:
 [sigmund~ -npts 65536 -hop 65536 -npeak 48 tracks]
 when the partial frequencies balance out into steady lines.
 I have also tried -hop 131072 which works too but trying that with the -npts
 completely locks pd.

 The problem I have now is that there is a significant delay between the
 beginning of the processing in comparison to the viola and worse still is
 the overlap after the viola has stopped playing.  Also the viola notes are
 indeterminate so I can't just set a cutoff to sync the two together.  I
 could use the input of the viola to gate the tail of the processing but I am
 currently using a combination of [env~] and [lop~] so that as the performer
 plays his amplitude controls the processing in reverse, so when he's loud
 the processing is quiet etc.  I suppose I can add another layer on top of
 the end

 I am aware that the gap between the two sounding events is caused by the
 huge window sizes I am using and that there may well be no way around this
 to get the kind of sound from the processing I'm looking for, i.e. without
 the pulses, but I am wondering if anyone has any tips and tricks I can apply
 to try and bring the two sounds, viola and processing, closer together.  Or
 ideally some way of achieving the smoother processing with lower npts and
 hop settings. This is for a live performance btw.

 All good wishes,

 Julian

I don't understand. Do you see that the video is showing the complete 
patch ? There are no hidden subpatches or abstractions in there : the only 
abstractions are already bundled with GridFlow packages.


That's one advantage of GridFlow : you need not GEM's [imageVert] external 
because you can clone it in a very small number of objects, and after that 
you can customise the transformation at runtime in any way you like, 
because it's a patch.
