[PD] installing Pd-extended on Linux (Mint 13) 64bit?
I'm trying to install Pd-extended on my Linux Mint 13 64bit without luck. I've tried the Slackware build, pd-l2ork, and a handful of other search results, each of which leads into errors that I then can't find solutions for.

So, instead of being encouraged to use shared instruments which would result in having a composition with some 'character', I have a couple semesters' worth of compositions full of bloops, beeps and sirens. No offense to bloops, beeps and siren lovers :-) I just don't find it aesthetically interesting. I would have loved if we had fewer assignments so we could have the time to build our own more interesting sound generators to include in our compositions. Or, we should have been allowed to pick and choose between the plethoras of shared instruments. Another example would be that in my 'non-programming' composition courses, we had to use Logic and its native instruments/samplers to create our pieces. Why not use Max/MSP and Csound for our composition classes? If we were allowed to use 'pre-built' instruments that come with Logic, why can't we use pre-built patches/orch files? >Even if you do, you shouldn't make >generalisations about an entire community based on a few personal >examples.

Re: [PD] elitism, software and academia (was GEM FTGL Sadness)
One addition: The elitist attitude may also have something to do with the inverse relationship between spending time programming and spending time socializing. If all one doing in your days is programming a computer, i.e. telling it what to do, one needn't to utilize the more mamallian soft-logic that goes behind social interactions. So one will start to become a bit dull in those areas, and consequently will start to offend people out of being in 'logic mode.' I'm sure Mr. Spock had to deal with this all the time and I sure as hell know that many people in my undergrad math department did! ~Kyle That's a great point! ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] elitism, software and academia (was GEM FTGL Sadness)
Hey Andy. I personally don't believe there is any sort of line that separates composer from programmer, or sound designer, except that at the two extremes of the spectrum some programmers can be obsessive about technical methodology and never explore aesthetics, and some composers can be nonchalent and dismissive about technical rigor and chase aesthetic results at the expense of understanding and repeatability. Well said. Same goes with analogue purists who have not yet embraced the software world. The force of industry is continually to divide programmers from practicioners, to demark roles like "creative sound designer" from "audio programmer" and create neat conservative little pidgeonholes for HR people to fit CVs into. Of course this is nonsense. Any good sound designer or musician is greatly enriched by a knowledge of programming, DSP, physics etc, and at the same time any programmer is greatly enabled by understanding the aesthetics and big picture of a product they work on. I completely agree. I think that a balance between technical and aesthetic disciplines would be a god-send. As for "elitism" I either honestly don't see much or unconsciously choose to rise above it. Yes, as far as forums and lists, 'rising above' is definitely the best policy. My main frustration with elitism (that I've raised in this thread) was rooted in the fact that this elitism has polarized the academic landscape; and that I can't find a curriculum that fits my needs. Higher education is so expensiveI can't justify paying for something that I'm not passionate aboutBut, don't cry for me Argentina :-) The greater danger imho is the opposite problem, a dumbing down of technology to black boxes, proprietry tools, entrenched conservative thinking, "not invented here" syndrome. This makes any composer/designer/creative a slave to tools and methods they don't understand. It also hurts industries, like film and games, that become entrenched in very conservative production methodologies and softwares like Protools. This saps all the real creativity from the job and acts as an anti-progressive inhibitor of new ideas. Amen! But to attact the kind of people that would go with Max or Reaktor we could do with more people building, sharing and documenting high quality synths and plugins. That's a great point too. I think that the PD community, as a whole, would greatly benefit if 'pure composers' (for a lack of a better term) were using it as much as 'patchers' were using it. By the way, I really love what you're doing with PD. Very useful, indeed. Thanks. What happened to your VST's? I can't seem to find them on your site.

Re: [PD] elitism, software and academia (was GEM FTGL Sadness)
> All of the work done (out of love, not money) by the pd community should > be applauded. With that said, there is a sense of elitism. how does this perceived elitism affect your ability to make music? to learn about digitial synthesis? None. I'm not saying that it affects productivity. I'm just saying that it exists. is it an excuse to avoid the work required? No. Not at all. That's why I'm here. I'm plugging away with PD. i've seen lots of beginner questions answered here- sometimes with sarcasm, but mostly with patience [and sometimes with both]. I completely agree. Remember, I'm not singling out the PD community, which I am a part of. My comment encompassed the whole of the 'audio software' community. > I think academia needs to recognize that there are many composers who > use computers as a means to an end; who make music with the AID of > computers; not to make music WITH computers. this seems like an arbitrary line you are drawing. are you talking about people who use presets as opposed to people who can generate their own 'presets'? I'm not talking about 'presets' at all. I didn't once mention 'presets'. I'm just saying that there is a difference between composers who are also programmers, and composers who aren't programmers yet want to learn to use the technology as an aid to the compositional process. When I say technology here, I'm talking about Logic, Sibelius, Melodyne and shared PD/Csound etc. instruments. I'm talking about composers learning how to USE NOT BUILD shared PD/Csound etc instruments to achieve the sound they want. I'm talking about a more compositional approach to music technology. and why is academia some kind of measuring stick? in my experience, academia is not the ivory tower you seem to be implying- it is filled with people, some more creative, some less creative, some as greedy as any industrialist you could find in the private sector. Academia shouldn't be the measuring stick. God knows that in the 'free thinking' academic atmosphere, dogma runs rampant. [Cue violin here] The reason I mentioned it is because it is relevant to my current situation, as I am looking for a curriculum that fits my needs. And I don't want to dig myself into debt for a program that I don't think I'll get the most out of. > There is still a rigid > line that separates the composer and the programmer. the rigidity is mostly in your mind. composing is very much like programming. instead of working in perl, beethoven worked with staff paper [think punch cards]. how is a repeat sign in a score different than a 'while' loop? how is a fugal theme different than a variable that gets subjected to a certain kind of treatment? I think the difference is that a composer, in the classical sense, can simply write down a rest on the staff. He doesn't need to debug or recompile. He doesn't need to connect any outs. He just writes the the music. > What about today's composers who are > interested in classical compositional techniques and forms, but who are, > at heart, electronic music composers and want to apply these classical > techniques and forms to their electronic compositions with the AID of > technology, yet have no interest in programming? they are out of luck. That is my point :-) what about someone who wants to perform bach's wtc and has no interest in learning the piano? That is not my point :-) Learning to play? Or learning to build? also, as an aside, forget about classical forms: what do *you* have to say? [although if you want make a career out of being an anachronism, maybe the academies of the world will support you] I admitted that it was a personal rant. I've made not absolute statements here. Only personal opinion. My point was to step away from the black and white of it all.

All of the work done (out of love, not money) by the pd community should be applauded. With that said, there is a sense of elitism. I'm not talking only about the PD community here, though. Take the users of the 'industry standard' software, such as Logic and ProTools. It's no secret that many of these users look down their nose at those musicians who use software like Ableton Live, FL Studio, Orion Pro and the like. Then you have the users of more 'academic' software (PD, Max\MSP, Csound, etc.) who often seem to have a sense of superiority; I've seen Csound users look down on Max/MSP users. I remember a couple of weeks ago, someone on this list posted a piece that used PD as the sound generation source, but he then arranged and mixed the piece in Live. Then someone commented with an elitist tone as to why he used Live at all. Further, I've seen coders look down on those who use anything that isn't purely programming. Everyone loves their tools, and there will always be a sense of pride in those tools. But, my god, its friggin software! No need to be rude. Then again, a lot of my opinion is based upon interaction with other users over the internet. This, in of itself, may be the cause for this sense of elitism. While talking on forums and lists, I often find that people have very short fuses and are often argumentative or simply look down on 'newbies'. I think that some people are comfortable being rude or unhelpful because there aren't any repercussions from acting in such a way; they don't have to face the person they're communicating with. I'd like to think that a lot of the people who act rude or elite on lists and forums wouldn't act that way if you were to talk to them face to face. While I'm ranting :-)In my academic experience, it's often frowned upon to use other's patches in your own compositions because it seems that the patches themselves are the work of art; and it's almost as if this is considered plagiarism. And while I agree that designing patches/programs/instruments IS an art-form, I don't understand why it isn't encouraged for composers to use other people's patches/instruments. Can you imagine if Chopin had to build every piano that he ever played? Thank goodness Hendrix was a guitar player, not a guitar builder. I think academia needs to recognize that there are many composers who use computers as a means to an end; who make music with the AID of computers; not to make music WITH computers. There is still a rigid line that separates the composer and the programmer. Most Music curriculums are still classically based. Most Music Technology curriculums are programming based. What about today's composers who are interested in classical compositional techniques and forms, but who are, at heart, electronic music composers and want to apply these classical techniques and forms to their electronic compositions with the AID of technology, yet have no interest in programming?

Re: [PD] Sending data from PD to another program
David, Thanks again for your help with the multiple path voting. Your patches have been extremely useful. I was hoping to pick your brain on one or two things. I did have a question concerning looking ahead. With your patches (node and tree) is there any way to see future the children of nodes? I've very successfully used your patch with gem's ability to display text to have the name of a node displayed in a gem window by passing [r master] to the text display patch. What I'd like to also do is have the text display the voting choices. That is, at node dolphin the patch would display octopus and lobster. Is that information accessible, or am I out of luck? As a side note, is there any way to give nodes names with spaces? I've been using underscores (node_name) which works well but is a little ugly.

[PD] Sending data from PD to another program
I'm continuing to work on my Choose Your Own Adventure piece. In this, story paths will be chosen by the audience, who vote using instruments with two notes (xylophones). PD will analyze the audio input and figure out if more people voted for path 1 or 2, depending on which frequency is louder. I'm planning to display the vote choices so the audience can see them and, following the vote, which choice won. It might look something like this: (before the vote) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE Should they... Go into the house? Go around back? (the audience votes) (PD finds note 1 was louder than 2) (after the vote) CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE They decide to go into the house! I have very approximate version of the voting working in PD but am unsure how to do the visual output. What I'd like to do is have PD send the vote information (that is, who won) to another program, either something I'll write or PowerPoint or the like, to run the display. I know PD can do visual output through Gem, but in exploring Gem I couldn't figure out an easy way to have the branching paths work, whereas branching paths in PowerPoint or in a homemade program could be relatively easy. Likewise, through searching the email archive, most of the information I could find on communication between PD and other programs was on sending data *to* PD, rather than *from* PD. If there's a thread in the archive or a manual/guide explaning what I'm looking for, I'd be happy to read through it if someone points me in the right direction. I've attached the current file I'm working on, which contains a more in-depth explanation of what I'm doing and what I'd like to do.

Thanks for the replies. I think that I wasn't clear enough, however.

I'm beginning to think toggle is the wrong tool for this job, and would appreciate any other suggestions. Likewise, I'd be happy to go into more detail if this is still not clear.

[PD] Use of toggle?
I'm using PD to do sound filtering and analysis would like to have the live audio passed along only at certain points. That is, the output from adc~ will sometimes continue on to other patches and sometimes I want it to stop. I was hoping to use toggle, but misunderstood how it works as it seems to become toggled for *any* input, not just bangs. I was hoping it would stay untoggled, and not allow the input to be sent through the output. What I would like is to be able to have a toggle (or other patch) that, when on, allows the input stream to continue through and, when off, does not pass anything through its output. I feel like this should be a simple task, but I've been struggling and I'm still not sure how to do it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[PD] Analysis on a wav file?
First, thanks for everyone who has helped me out so far - my project (rather general voting based on xylophone notes) is going very well and I have it processing in real-time which note has been hit. I'd like, however, to have PD record something like 5 seconds of audio and then analyze *that* for the max frequency. I envision the operator initiating a bang, PD automatically recording about 5 seconds of audio, (either to a file or to it's own array; I don't need to keep the recorded audio after it's analyzed), and filtering out a couple frequencies I'm interested in (using [bp~]?), and letting me know which frequency was louder. That is, the initial inlet would be a bang, and the final outlet would be a number (giving 1 or 2, for example) which I'm doing right now using [expr]. So I guess I have two separate questions. First, how can I get PD to record a set amount of audio, either to a file or to an array (if anyone can let me know which would be preferable and why I'd love to hear your advice). Second, how to perform analysis on a wav file or a stored array. I'm unsure how to do this and would appreciate any help. I've figure out, using [del] how to send delayed bangs but have been confused trying to work my way through [readsf~] [writesf~] and [soundfiller], which seemed like my best bets. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! -Jared ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
[PD] Time-based audio recording and analysis
I'm interested in having a PD function which, when activated, records audio for a set amount of time (probably about 5 seconds), performs an analysis on that recorded audio, and then outputs the result. I'm specifically doing frequency analysis but can't imagine that would matter. Any suggestions on how to allow something to run for a specific amount of time would be appreciated. I've searched the list archives, and will continue to do so, but most of the time-based stuff I'm seeing is how to keep track of time rather than do something for a set length of time.

[PD] Real-time frequency filtering and analysis
Summary: I'm interested in capturing audio through a microphone and, in real time, determining which frequency range (from a set range of frequencies) has the maximum level. This would be used to determine which note is loudest out three notes. More info: Hello! I was hoping to get some direction for a project I'm working on. I'm also searching the mailing list archives, but I apologize in advance if I ask questions that have been answered elsewhere. If you think my question has already been answered, I would appreciate any advice on how to better search the archives to find what I'm looking for. I am creating a staged adaptation of a 'Choose Your Own Adventure' novel. For more information, check out the Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choose_your_own_adventure The important thing to know is there will be a branching storyline, decided by audience voting. For the voting, I plan for everyone in the audience to have a small xylophone with 3. Each note will correspond to a voting choice presented by the cast. I'm going to have microphones positioned around the theatre to capture the xylophones and pipe them to a computer. What I'd then like to do through PD is determine which note was 'loudest,' meaning the most people cast it for their vote. The voting choices will be displayed by a projector connected to the computer running PD. Thus, I'm interested in either piping the level information to another program (PowerPoint or something else) to display which vote won. I'd also be interested in doing this directly through PD, if it's possible. I'm working my way through the PD tutorials included in the program itself, but would appreciate any advice or suggestions on keywords I can use to search the archives. Please let me know if there is any information I can add to make things more clear.

Re: [PD] newbie growing pains...
No offense, but IMO a beginner should first get comfortable with the builtin objects. Setting up plain Pd should be easy. No offense taken. You're definitely right, especially if we're talking about someone who doesn't have any patching experience with PD/Max. Personally though, I've spent the last year with Max/MSP on a master's course, so I'm not a complete beginner. I was under the assumption that PD and Max were very similar programs. There are obvious similarities, but the more time I spend with PD the more they feel like different beasts. I will definitely go back and start from square one with PD.

[PD] newbie growing pains...
Hello list. I'm having problems getting PD running comfortably. The easiest way, in my opinion, for someone trying to learn PD is to open existing patches that are similar, or use the same objects, as the patch they are trying to build. I've been quite frustrated because it seems that most of the patches that I open won't work on my system. This is obviously my fault. I probably don't have files/patches/externals in their right places. I think the biggest obstacle, for beginners, is getting PD setup correctly and to get everything running smoothly. I mean, the main installation of PD isn't the problemit's when you start to dig in to other patches and externals outside of the initial installationanyway, I'm ramblingI just think that PD's momentum as a growing community might be a little stronger if these basic things were ironed outokay, off of my soap box!

It's not PD, but there's a tool being worked on by some of the computer music and electrical engineering folks at Columbia University that you might want to check out. It's called MEAPsoft (http://labrosa.ee.columbia.edu/meapsoft/). It takes an input wave file and slices it up into events, then gives you lots of options for extracting info about them and re-arranging them. It also stores all it's data in text files, so you can process them in whatever language you want (PD, perl, whatever). enjoy your PD-ing! -spencer ___ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
RE: [PD] slicing samples
Thanks Chuckk. I'm not sure if the wave table way will result in the sounds I'm looking for. Regardless, that is an interesting thought. One which could possibly lead to some wonderful sounds! Thanks, Jared -Original Message- From: Chuckk Hubbard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 2:37 AM To: jared; pd-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] slicing samples Hi. I have never heard of anything like that with Pd. Pd itself is pretty low-level with audio, but someone has probably written an external object for that at some point. It sounds like something that would be pretty complicated in pure Pd. First idea that comes to my mind would be to leave the sample intact in a table, and store a separate array of numbers telling where in that table the transients occur. The members of the array might be like: 0: 0 1: 870 2: 1589 3: 1800 Then instead of making smaller tables with parts of the sample, you just have each playback object reference the array first for 2 indexes, and play from one index to the other in the wave table. Pure Data will let you save a separate pd file that does the lookup and then create any number of instances of it in your main patch. I don't know how efficient this would be for slicing samples; it would allow overlapping slices, basically. I tend to miss the simpler and more obvious ways of doing things, so there's probably a better solution -Chuckk On 2/12/07, jared <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Hello all, > > First post!

I knew about that and I've already experimented a bit with pd data structures and their graphical representation. But I was thinking about a more generic tool. Something to drive multiple sound generating softwares in the same session. The approach of using pd for everything is worth when you plan to release a piece as a patch. But I'd like to have a dedicated application with a more flexible gui to compose and control performances.

RE: [PD] Midi sequencing
I would recommend Bidule by Plogue. I love this program. Brilliant for live use as well. It has a basic midi sequencer that, from the sounds of it, might be sufficient for what the expressed need here. The next version will have more advanced sequencing capabilities. Most importantly it speaks OSC. It comes in at an extremely reasonable $75. The FFT processing tools are worth that price alone, imho. I highly recommend it. http://www.plogue.com/ Jared Dunne -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Cesare Marilungo Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 2:10 AM To: Chris McCormick Cc: pd-list@iem.at Subject: Re: [PD] Midi sequencing Chris McCormick wrote: > On Tue, Dec 05, 2006 at 12:05:40AM +, Cesare Marilungo wrote: > >> I think it would be interesting to have some sort of OSC sequencer.
