Re: [PD] got jump-on-click arrays working

2013-04-29 Thread Björn Eriksson
Oh, this is great news!
Can´t give you any response on the two first questions but here is a fast
response to the other two...

On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 8:36 PM, Jonathan Wilkes jancs...@yahoo.com wrote:

 Hi list,

 * I got jump-on-click arrays working.  Basically you can click anywhere in
 the graph and the array element
 in that vertical column will jump to your mouse position.

 * Implemented bargraph style for Put menu arrays.  (See attached)
 This is basically a multi-slider.

 Questions:

 * using bit masks, exactly how many flags can I scrunch into a
 floatarg?  Arrays use one floatarg in a pd file to keep 1) the saveit
 flag (i.e., whether or not data is saved with the patch), and 2) plot
 style, to which I've added one more.  I'd like to add a flag for
 jump-on-click, and if possible one for x/y ticks.

 * can I add a A_DEFFLOAT for plot color for arrays?

 * for bar graph arrays, should the user be able to specify inner/outer
 color for the bar, or is inner color with black outline good enough?


I think the ability to change both inner and outer color for the bar should
be preferred.




* for arrays with a small number of elements that aren't jump on click
 the UX is misleading: with points-style arrays you can only click on a
 small undifferentiated part of the line.  Should I change this so that the
 hot spot is the entire line?


I think, yes! Can´t really see situations where a fraction of the line as
hot spot should be preferred...




Thanks,
 Jonathan

Re: [PD] Changing array curves with mouse interaction

2013-04-20 Thread Björn Eriksson
Thanks for the feedback on this 'problem'. I forgot to mention that the
question arouse when a student of mine used a table of size 3. The
proportional clicking area then got comparable very little if used a bigger
table. Did not realise that before.

[PD] Changing array curves with mouse interaction

2013-04-06 Thread Björn Eriksson
Hello list, I´ve been searching around a little about hints on how to make
a mouse interaction easier in an array, but didn´t find much.
Sometimes it is a bit too precise to get a grip on the curve. So my
question is, can there be some ways to make this gripping a bit easier?

Re: [PD] Changing the defaul language in 0.43

2013-02-23 Thread Björn Eriksson
That sounds hopeful! Even though I am far from a coder to consider
starting to propose some changes.

How are the normal procedures when something new is implemented as a
GUI preference?
Are there someone coming up with some code suggestions and then tests
of that - - - or are there a place to put an idea like this, in a list
- a wishlist - and then someone sooner or later possible takes on a
coding task - or is it here or at pd-developments list a think
like this is proposed and discussed?

Sorry for a multitude of questions?

Speaking of the importance of a language selector, I would put it
rather high. By some default mechanisms we speak english here on
this list - to maybe 99.5%, and that it also a good thing as it acts
as an interface between languages, but also when you are learning
totally new aspects (as we can expect some of Pd newcomers to be) then
it can be really helpful to have a learning process more near a native
language. The best of it would be if the language selector could be
instantly flushing to the new language, like that there can be an
enhanced understanding when comparing menues and menue selections as
you see the language change and can compare between languages that you
are more or less familiar with.

I hope my idea don´t sound too complicated. Also I wish there is a
wishlist. Otherwise it is here above.

All the best,
Björn Eriksson

 Pd-extended should use the same language that the user is using.  If 
 not, its

You can also delete the files within the po folder at the installation
folder. Then you will have (only) english menus.

I have a related question. I am running a beginners course on Pd
(distance course) and in the group there are at least 3 or 4 different
languages. Added to that is also that some people are in different
countries. So for the students in Sweden (where I am based) most of
them get the swedish language selected on install, but by different
reasons would like to have english och portuguese. They´re also on
different platforms.

My question is this... can it be possible to independently select a
preferred language regardless what the OS is suggesting and force
another language to be showed?

 If someone has written in a patch in their own language, the patch will always

 translations of the text.  Its something I think we should add for tutorials

 I think one of the reason one might have to be able to play mp3´s or

 I regard mp3´s as usual as for instance jpg´s are on the web, speaking
 of some image analogy of compressed formats. I don´t like the licencing of
 mp3 though and would prefer ogg to be the main standard.

 Sometimes there aren´t time enough to do conversions on the fly to
 uncompressed formats before importing files onto pd.

 I can with other words imaging a number of situations which could call
 for a a playability of mp3 and oggs.


 Obviously, there are cases where mp3 can be an option, but OP mentioned
 exporting from logic. Of course withot further background it's hard to
 tell, and there are many cases.



 Soundwise we all know wave and aiff sounds better, but I am a bit
 surprised this seems to be a so complicated and sensitive issue about
 having pd play a compressed sound file with some ease. Maybe this has been
 discussed over the years over and over,so forgive me if this already stated
 somewhere about these things.

 Why should you export to mp* from logic? That sounds rather insane
 unless you *need* mp*

 mp* are lossy compressed, and unless you have a precise
 'aesthetic' reason to having mpeg-degraded audio quality simply
 export to a lossless format.

 That said there are probably thousands of converters out there
 from-to mp* to anything, google is your friend there.

 Thank you both!

2012-11-21 Thread Björn Eriksson
Hello,
chiming in on the mp3-file playing topic aswell...
I encountered exactly the same problem trying to play a mp3 file a while
ago with the object [mp3play~], receiving this error text:

==
error: : no such object
Layer II not supported!

EOF: bang
==

which is maybe not so surprising as we all have heard that mp3 should be
the layer III to be played. But how is it possible to change an mp3 that
has layer II format into a layer III format?  Seems most mp3´s are in the
layer II standard. My try was with this mp3-file (found on UBU.com)
http://ubumexico.centro.org.mx/sound/broodthaers_marcel/Broodthaers-Marcel_Interview-With-A-Cat.mp3

I am attaching the help-patch for [mp3play~], which I found in IEMLIB
folder.

If there only where ogg vorbis files out there it would be easy to just use
[oggread~] which seems to work fine.

I am really curious about the layer II / III mystery. Also I have heard
that layer III are the mp3 standard, and layer II not. Just
don´t understand the error I am getting.(I am on a win xp machine, but
the same happens also on a win 7 machine)

I used MIDI yoke long time ago but it seems that it is not updated any
more for newer windows os.


The MIDI router question is for recommendations for students of mine.
I run also Ubuntu sometimes but never or very seldom OSX. Maybe it
could be something to have on Pd web site with some recommendations
about this as I guess it is something that many new users wants to
start exploring - to use Pd as a MIDI engine for other softwares!?

So to extend a little what is the best MIDI routers (in general) for

Re: [PD] Multiple Pd patchers on one computer?

2012-08-23 Thread Björn Eriksson
Thanks Patrice and Iohannes for the replies on this!

Great pointers and clues!!
I didn´t know about blind date/peer data  projects before! Very
interesting!
I get the image of weaving when thinking of this. I like the concept of
patching together.
Like in music/sound improvisation I guess it becomes rather important to
listen and wait the steps of the co-players/co-patchers - and follow and
do contrasting things... etcetera...

Iohannes, let us know at the list how things proceed around this!

///  Another related idea/concept I have been thinking on is weaving -
sortof matrix - like you have a dynamic matrix where each patcher can work
in different areas of the matrix, that is in some defined way constituted
so changes in one part of the matrix is affecting other parts. . Like a
weaving - if you put in new threads things change in the overall
structure... and if you are tearing in some parts - stretching etcetera -
things change in the overall perspective.  

(sorry to disturb the thread with this new perspective - but just couldn´t
help it as the idea was triggered to be released when thinking on the other
things in this thread)

[PD] Multiple Pd patchers on one computer?

2012-08-19 Thread Björn Eriksson
Hello,
earlier today a thought just popped up... and maybe it´s already done, and
maybe it´s not even something that relates to Pd mainly.

My idea is this:
One computer, several keyboards and mouses connected to this same one
computer, shares a Pd window, patching together.
Could be something that could be interesting to do as live
performance/collaboration... maybe.
Just wanted to share this idea - and see if it´s already been done
something like this..

Guess the technical side of it is more to get several keyboards/mouses to
run in parallell with unique ids. Probably there exists a really easy
solution to this.

I am not directly planning to do this, but I am curious anyway, if someone
can elaborate on this idea then I am happy to listen..!?
(I know there are some web-interfaced Pd projects (Purée Data?) but this
idea is more simple, just to use one computer with several users/patchers.)

All the best,
Björn Eriksson

Hello, yes is very possible with Pd. Check the built-in help patches on the

complicated either... Maybe you want a step by step incrementation with a

accuracy - or maybe a combination of fader and button up/down with an
indication of selected sample start. Just some ideas! /Björn Eriksson

 I thought the pd patch was working last week and the [digital 0 0] message
 box was displaying different numbers when different drum pads were
 triggered.  I then updated the firmata library because I thought I should.
 The [digital 0 0] box then stopped displaying numbers according to midi

 Would someone mind looking at my patch and seeing if something is wrong? I

Re: [PD] translation activity

2012-01-22 Thread Björn Eriksson
Hello Hans-Christoph!
Sorry for not getting back to you before now...
1st: thanks for explaining!  Now it´s clear about what´s the translation
activities are about!
2nd: I think what might be possible is to start with a transifex
translation work - and from there see how things go
3rd:  Yeah... Floss manuals would be great to translate. I think all these
things will be a matter of available time. I will start with the transifex
soon I hope!

I might give you a question or two if there is some things around the
transifex that i dont get.

All the best,
Björn

2012/1/18 Hans-Christoph Steiner h...@at.or.at


 Hey Björn,

 Right now, I'm just talking about translating the interface of Pd itself.
  It would be great to also translate the learning materials and even help
 patches too, that's a much bigger question.

 For translating Pd's interface, just create an account in Transifex and
 edit the translation file, or create a new one if your language isn't
 there.  That's pretty straightforward, you'll see a list of all the English
 words and phrases used in the interface, and next to it you write the
 translation:

 https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/puredata/

 For documentation, I don't know much about tools for helping translate
 prose, but I do know that the FLOSS Manuals site is well setup to host
 translations.  So perhaps a good place to start would be to make a
 translation of the Pure Data manual there.  And of course, if you find
 things you should update in the English version, please go ahead and update
 them as you see fit:

 http://en.flossmanuals.net/PureData/

 As for the help patches, that's a harder question right now because we
 don't have a way to host help patches of multiple languages.  It would be a
 matter of replacing all the help patches included in Pd-extended with your
 translated ones.  I suppose that could be scripted so it wouldn't be hard
 to do.  Ideally, someone will add localization support to pd patches, then
 each help patch could contain multiple languages.

 Hello,

 am not interested to start something that seems too complicated and

 1. How is the translation implemented.
 2. Is it mainly the help pd files that the translation are for
 3. Will it be possible to invite other contributors for the translations

 4. Will there be some responsibility to announce and update indifferent

 in other words:... maybe it´s already explained and I can read more

 So, why don't you give more recent examples, to show some kind of
 continuity ? I know that in seven years, there can be a lot of change of
 personnel (and thus mentality) in an art centre... I mean, from my own
 personal experience (5200 km away from BEK).


The reason I put this was just because I wanted to see if they had anything
about Pure Data at all in BEK so I put
Pure Data in the search window on the main page at bek.no and that was
one of few entry that showed up in the search result. I didn´t spend much
time on that - antd didnt compare with other things thay might have done
with open source resources. Also agrees and knows institutions and arts
center changes with the staff involved.

Found this about the equipment/softwares in some studio of theirs - and
really they don´t seem to have Pd or other open source resources there:
http://bek.no/pages/fascilities?locale=en

Here is what they state under sound and other:

 *Sound*
Ableton Live
Amadeus
Cubase
Logic Pro
Max4Live
Soundbooth
Wave Editor
Wavelab *Other*
Photoshop CS5
Illustrator CS5
Indesign CS5
Compressor
iShowU HD Pro
Max Msp Jitter


Also, preferably, something with more hours... that's 25 hours, probably
 minus food time, let's say 20 hours. That's better than most workshops, but
 there have been significantly longer ones.


  In a way it would be cool to just send back this e-mail exchanges to the
 call-makers? - so they see how stupid this call is - and anti-productive.


 Is it stupid or is it just a generous rebate plan from two software
 companies ? Just an honest question, no insinuations.



Well, I think so called marketing from software companies could maybe be
that aggresive (that they can have some specific deals with
people/institutions receiving generous discounts)... I don´t know about how
the discussion goes. It would be an interesting topic to lift up. Are there
huge rebate plans for instituions / schools / - and how are (generally) the
conditions to receive these?

Here in Sweden I know that Steinberg has rather hefty rebates of up to 50%
for students and academic institutions, but they don´t state any exclusive
conditions for the academic institutions. I think Digidesign (Avid) has
about the same deals. Institutions  associations that are not academic
might be another thing with...   (just raising perspectives, know nothing
about this really)

Re: [PD] Fwd: no pd?? WTF ????

2012-01-04 Thread Björn Eriksson
Yes, agrees Julien, it´s a position against free softwares. Probably a
political position. (unconcious or not)

anyway - (and I know it was 7 years ago)

copypaste from BEK site what Derek and Sara brought up at BEK back in 2005
at the Pd workshop:

***

Workshop details:

Day one

1) Introduction: Why PD  Why Free + Open Source Software?

Our decision to use Pure Data has been motivated by several factors. First
and foremost is the need for a modular environment where audio and video
processing is possible without the intrusion of negative elements such as a
predetermined Graphical User Environment, cross-platform issues and
restrictive licenses. We will discuss these issues, and why it is more
important than ever that artists take Free + Open Source Software seriously
as tools for creative expression.

** end copypaste

Maybe these issues are even more than ever ever important now 7 years later?

Maybe someone from BEK should speak up and clearify a little around their
politics on software uses? Maybe it´s not here in this thread the
revolution starts but I think it is always necessary to go to the source
of the problem and really try to find out what is going on. Not a very very
big deal maybe, but clearly this keeps us many on the Pd list a bit
emotional about the blogpost call they did put up. (and obviously some
people already have had some exchanges with the call makers in Milan
already, so maybe that is already researched well enough). It´s not about
the conflictual situation, it is more about the understanding, as I see it.
If they prefer at BEK or other institutions to NOT work with open
softwares, then it is really well to just know that. As I see it.


I don´t know any sociologists working on these issues. Google gives me the
name of Yewin Lin as someone in this field. Here is a pdf adressing some of
the issues http://www.ylin.org/sociology_FLOSS.pdf
, and here is the website of her:  http://www.ylin.org/

Surely this must be a rather big field - also with a lot of different
perspectives on it - so would be cool if there is some more pointers
someone has about these things.

 it sound like a position against free software (more or less clear depend

 Obviously there is different vision of the world, I dunno about
revolution (not sure about that one either as sevy said) but it looks like
that there is people out there that are pissed off of the free software
(specially the freshly floss art community - around 5 to 8 years more or
less) community excluding the artists and programmers from the proprietary
software community (is there such community?) from their institutions(?),
festivals, conferences...etc.

 It could looks like a vendetta (unconscious?) related to some frustration
of not being part of the BUZZ ;-) (trying to make a bigger one by refusing
free software)...

 Interesting threat indeed, many of you had heard already some max/msp
users complaining of not being able to come and present their things in
some of the festival/symposium/gig/conference...etc out there that promote
free software...(strongly recommended?)

 Do you know any sociologist working on some of those issues? sound like a

 It's down, but the webserver is still ostensibly up, because
 http://lists.puredata.info points to the same computer and the same port,
 and that site is working.

 So I'm guessing that puredata.info's database server is down, which would
 explain things because lists.puredata.info does not use that database.

 Apart from that, it could be a problem in one config file of the webserver
 or in the webapp, but I think that those are less likely, because I doubt
 Johannes would have left it that way.

Re: [PD] very compressed chip sounds

2011-10-11 Thread Björn Eriksson
it´s very inspiring to listen to all the small patches in this
thread. another small patch (but big compared to others) of 10 object comes
here.. this one is not very dramatic, maybe one of it´s things is that it
produces a rather fat stereo image with some attacks with each tone in the
sequence.

here´s a remix of the 6 object hardoff one, now a 7 object one with somewhat
other sound texture. for a while it´s making a waltz tempo until it looses
it´s sense of waltzing.

Hello,
nice - see what you mean! Here is a new try with cos~ instead of sin~ and
then some other method of generating a sequence.
It was repeating itself very often until i was putting the snapshot~ outlet
back to the osc~ phase reset.

Still 9 objects though...  :)

 Nice!
 But... it's not vanilla (I think) due to the [sin~] :-)

 So.. I wasn't thinking of using (pseudo)randomness (noise)... Otherwise one
 could do something like the attached.. (7 objects including [dac~])

Surely we can do stuff like this in Pd?

Smallest Pd patch that makes an interesting tune?


Depending on your definition of 'interesting' I made these two. I
guess they can be considered rather minimal (under 16 objects per
patch excluding comments and including [dac~]...)
The principle is basically the same in both patches.

 Subject: [PD] PuréeData


 Hi all,

 Earlier this year I got a Turbulence commission for a project called
 PuréeData, which is an instance of PureData on a server with a web-browser
 interface and an mp3 stream to hear the audio.  In essence it's a single
 shared patch accessible by the whole internets!

 http://turbulence.org/works/PureeData

 It's a work in progress, and there are some pretty obvious bugs right now,
 but it does actually work!  I just hope my server doesn't die now that it's
 been announced…

 It uses the Pyata library by Jeraman to do the dynamic patching and a
 web.py server to host the site and manage the state.  It's pretty janky in a
 lot of technical ways, and so there are some important features that don't
 exist yet (like deleting objects!!).  I had wanted to try libpd as the
 backend but I guess it would still work the same way, i.e. with FUDI
 messages?

 Anyway, check it out :D  All the codez is on github:
 https://github.com/virgildisgr4ce/PureeData  There's an issue tracker so
 by all means submit issues and feature requests, and if you are so inclined,
 clone the repo and set up a server yourself!  And of course, if you want to
 help improve PuréeData, I would love you forever!!

i am able to connect objects already put there, and connekt things to the
right send - and it is received on the stream. i can delete connections, but
for me i can´t add objects.

[PD] throw~ / catch~ versus send~ / receive~

2011-09-28 Thread Björn Eriksson
Hello,
first time poster here at [PD] list...  been following the different threads
with big interest last weeks. I am somewhat a beginner at Pd and have
therefore maybe some trivial question.. that is .. what are the differences
between throw~ / catch~  and send~ / receive~ ?  For me they seem to work
equally well, either as bus sending or single audio signal send. There is
probably some fundamentally concept here I did miss. I see it´s marked on
the throw~object in the help, that it´s summing bus and the send~ object
does not have that marked.

Maybe I am doing wrong when I´m summing audiosignals together into a send~
object just by patching them together and should use the throw~object
instead, but just curious on why and how?**

Thankful for thoughts on this..

All the best,
Björn Eriksson

Re: [PD] throw~ / catch~ versus send~ / receive~

2011-09-28 Thread Björn Eriksson
Thanks for the info and pointer! Was by that also getting aware about the
possible added delay  When you send a signal to a point that is earlier in
the sorted list of tilde objects, the signal doesn't get there until the
next cycle of DSP computation, one block later; so your signal will be
delayed by one block (1.45 msec by default.)
Can be good to know!

 From the Pd Documentation [1]:

 There can be many throw~ objects associated with a single catch~, but a
 throw~ can't talk to more than one catch~.
 ...
 Send~ just saves a signal which may then be receive~d any number of times;
 but a receive~ can only pick up one send~ at a time (but you can switch
 between send~s if you want.)
