Re: [PD] MIDI and JACK autoconnection is a PITA...

2012-10-29 Thread Johanna Nowak
Jörn,

this is a quick shoot from the hips, perhaps it can help:

* Jörn Nettingsmeier netti...@stackingdwarves.net [2012-10-29 20:38]:
 hi *!
 
 
 am i the only one who thinks that non-configurable autoconnection to
 jack and alsa-midi ports is a) wrong and b) a major pain in the ass?
IOhannes once wrote an external called (perhaps) [aconnect] or
similar, which I think lets you do and choose alsa (midi) connections
from within Pd.

 is there a way to prevent pd from doing this? particularly in the
 alsa midi case, it's a really blatant misfeature, because in the
 presence of a software midi thru port, it will immediately create a
 parameter loop which will make any connected midi controller go wild
 and burn its motors.
If this is the case for the BCF2000 try using its U-3 or S-3 mode,
where it will not echo the received midi data to its outputs.

best,
Jo

 
 my preferred behaviour would be no autoconnect at all. second best
 option is configurable auto-connect ports. i wonder what the
 rationale behind the current behaviour is? i mean, pd is all about
 drawing wires, so surely a pd user can be expected to be able to
 connect his/her audio and midi ports correctly?
 
 
 best,
 
 
 jörn

 That's slightly less obvious than plugging in a stereo output cable
 from phone to sound card.
 
 There are also bluetooth audio devices (headset omitted) that have
 stereo outputs (here's one example:
 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875981014nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwordscm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA
 )
 
 A software only solution is more interesting though--good luck, I have
 no clue how you might do it, but I'll be reading to know if/how you
 do.

Has anyone already suggested a SIP software phone that can talk to
jack (perhaps via one of the alsa bridges)?

best, Jo

  Hello Sebastian,
 
  Couple of years ago I tried to use a bluetooth stereo device for
  wireless monitoring in Pd. Nice thing about OSX is you can create an
  'Aggregated Device' in 'Audio MIDI Setup' to include the bluetooth
  stereo to the regular sound card and use the extra channels in Pd.
  However, I soon found that bluetooth stereo had over half a second
  latency, so it was not useful for my purpose of monitoring. Besides
  that, bluetooth audio pairing was really a pain in OSX (back then at
  least).
 
  Another thing, when connecting a phone as bluetooth device to MacBook,
  I see the following services: Dial-up Networking, Human interface
  device, OBEX File Transfer, OBEX Object Push. None of these makes the
  phone available as an extra audio interface. No way to capture it's
  audio in Pd, like it can be done with bluetooth headsets.
 
  With WIFI-enabled cell phones there may be better possibilities, using
  Skype or similar, and route audio to Pd with Jack or Soundflower.

   Hey everyone,
  
   I know this is a longshot, and most likely not the best place to ask
   this sort of question, but maybe you can point me in the right direction.
   I'm working on an art installation which requires the interception of 
   phone
   conversations to be sent to my macbook and manipulated in Pd. Willing
   participants would connect their phones (via bluetooth?) to my computer 
   and
   all audio would be streamed to my laptop in real time and routed into 
   Pd. I
   realize one could just connect their phones to their laptops via an 8th 
   inch
   TRS cable and an audio interface... but the idea is to make this 
   connection
   wirelessly.
  
   Any ideas? Anything would be helpful.
  
   Thank you for your time,

Re: [PD] beamforming, mic array and audio source localization

2012-08-27 Thread Johanna Nowak
Hi,

there is some research using a 120 channel microphone array here:
http://plessas.mur.at/rnd/rnd.html

Page 55 of this thesis shows a Pd patch using spherical harmonics.
http://plessas.mur.at/rnd/da/Thesis_Plessas.pdf

This link to a video demo of 1st order beamforming using a nice GEM
gui is also available: http://plessas.mur.at/rnd/demo/demo.html

It seems that IEM does a lot of work on the topic, and I am sure they
use Pd there! :-) see for example http://iaem.at/Members/zotter

best, Jo

* Charles Henry czhe...@gmail.com [2012-08-21 05:40]:
 I have not worked on it, but I think it's really interesting.
 Studying microphone arrays for source localization is on my list...
 once I get through everything else I started and didn't finish yet.
 
 I was really wondering about microphone arrays arranged in a circle,
 semi-circle, or around the perimeter of a room to pick up sounds
 selectively by location.  I think that could be used to good effect
 for performance/recording.
 
 What are you up to now?

Have you tried opening the 256Hz wav file(s) in another application,

Re: [PD] Detuning reverb ?

* Pierre Massat pimas...@gmail.com [2012-07-08 19:06]:
 Dear List,
 
 I've been trying to recreate the effect that can be heard on Pavement's The
 Hexx (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6N5tx68-d2I). It sounds like a
 constantly downward detuning reverb, I have no idea if this is an existing
 guitar effect or if it was created in studio by Nigel Godrich. My last
It is a short delay with a pitch shifter in its feedback loop. The
detuning is a few cents only.

my few cents only :-
Jo

 attempt resulted in this (
 http://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/detuning-delay/), which
 doesn't really sound like the original at all...
 
 I think I need delay lines driven by a phasor with a squared output, so
 that the speed at which the length of the delays increases is not constant.
 I also think I need to envelop the delay lines somehow, and switch between
 them so that the maximum length is never reached. But right now I short of
 ideas. From what i've found on the web, this should be doable with a
 granular delay, but I never used any granular stuff.
 
 Any suggestion is welcome...
 
 Cheers!
 
 Pierre.
