[PD] a crunchy noisy unpitched kind of affair

2008-03-25 Thread nward04
Hi, Im being a bit lazy here but thought I'd ask in case anyone had a start 
on this. I need a patch to generate some sound. It will be controlled by 
just one potentiometer's position and velocity and must generate unpitched 
sound. So i guess I'll use the velocity to control amplitude and the 
position will control some other element related to timbre, or something. I 
was thinking of something like a sound of a sweeping brush or gravel being 
raked. Any quick patches or approaches to get me started would be great. 
thanks in advance Nicky

Re: [PD] Pix Film crashing

2007-12-15 Thread nward04
Hi,
Just a quick check but do all the movies have the same codec and have  
you tested that they load okay by themselves?

 Hello.
 Very strange. Maybe a problem in txt file.

 Sorry for the 400 ko but there are 4 movies.

 Hi All

 I'm using a combination of coll and makefilename in order to  
 output a list of quicktime clips to pix_film. I'm using coll to  
 load a list of 4 clips and then outputting them through  
 makefilename into pix_film, the first clip loads in fine and it  
 play's, however, when I hit the next message on coll to output the  
 second clip filename, nothing happens. I am getting no error  
 message in the pd window, it just says that the second clip has  
 been loaded with no errors, but I cannot play back the clip in the  
 GEM window. When I try to load in the third clip PD crashes out  
 (constantly). The clips are all quite small (under 2mb) so my  
 question is, do I need to reset pix_film in some way after each  
 clip has finished playing so that it will play the next clip?
 I've attached a screenshot of my patch so you can see what I'm doing.

 Thanks and regards
 Donal

Re: [PD] YAMIB: yet another mac intel build

2006-12-14 Thread nward04
PD-0.39.2-extended-test6 seems to run fine here on imac 2GHz core 2  
Duo (listended to an osc~ opened some GEM patches)
With PD-0.39.2-extended-2006-12-14 it launched fine and loaded up GEM  
library but I couldnt open any patches or create patches.


Incidentally when i tried to open PD-0.39.2-extended-2006-12-14 when  
PD-0.39.2-extended-test6 was already open it completely locked up the  
machine.

because it includes the new Mac OS X drawing speed-up code.

It turns out that the Tcl/Tk that Apple includes on Mac/Intel is  
buggy...

[PD] tuning an AM radio ideas

2006-12-13 Thread nward04

Hi all,
I was just wondering would anyone here have an idea on a starting  
point for a patch to simulate tuning in a station on an AM radio. I  
want to make a virtual radio with say 5 chanels that i can tune  
between replete with the hissing fizzing in between out of tune bits.

Thanks
Nick

Getting there now. Just what I was thinking of.  Where to add in a  
bit of noise is the next thing.

Thanks Roman

hi nick again

i didn't want to 'steal' your idea, but i found this subject so
interesting, that i tried to realize that approach in a pd-patch.
the patch needs [abs~] from zexy and [lp8_butt~] from iemlib. the  
patch
has 3 'stations' (three sources modulated on differently tuned  
carriers)

and one 'receiver'. because of the very high sampling rate in the
subpatch (1.53MHz, when pd runs with 44100Hz), the patch eats quite a
lot of the cpu.
surprisingly it sounds a bit like am-radio, though the quality of the
received signal is very bad. the choice of the carrier frequencies  
does

have big effect on the typical am-radio artefacts.
there are sure some things, that could be improved. maybe you have use
for it.

cheers

hi Nick

a possibly stupid, unrealistic and very untested idea  comes to my
mind:
why not build a real AM radio in pd? in a subpatch with a very high
samplingrate (using [block~]-object) you could amplitude modulate  
the

signal you want to transmit. with a narrow band-pass filter [bp~],
that
is tuned to the carrier frequency, you could get back the  
amplitude of

the original signal. maybe you add some [noise~] to simulate cosmic
radiowaves.
just a few ideas. i would be interested, if this approach has a  
chance

to work

[PD] error compiling PD.

2006-12-07 Thread nward04

Hi,
I followed the instructions for compiling pd extended from here  
http://puredata.org/docs/developer/Debian.

Unfortunately i get this error right at the start pretty much

/usr/bin/m4: unrecognised option '--debugfile=autom4te.cache/traces.0t'
Try '/usr/bin/m4 --help' for more information
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status 1

Any ideas? Im on debian unstable pentium 4

[PD] comport issue

2006-11-18 Thread nward04

A bit of a strange one this. Hope someone can help.

I have an arduino communicating with PD via comport. If I set the  
baud rate higher than about 22000 comport throws out rubbish. The  
arduino is just counting from 1 to 10 with a 10ms gap between each  
value.

If I use zterm to look at the data its all fine and as expected.

So I was seeing this as a limitation of comport not supporting higher  
baudrate but I have also used comport to communicate with a bluetooth  
device set at 115200 and no problems at all.


Any ideas?

That zterm shows the correct info rules out a problem with the arduino.
That comport talks happily to bluetooth device I took to rule out the  
iea that it cant support higher baud.


Im on os x 10.3.9

Thanks
Nick
