[PD] trouble with $0-arrayname

2011-04-15 Thread patrick mcnameeking
Hi list, I'd like to use multiple instances of an abstraction in the same
patch and the abstraction contains an array.  I would normally deal with
this by naming the array '$0-somename' but pd doesn't seem to recognize the
'$' and I get the error '0-somename: no such table'.  Can someone help me
through this?
Thanks in advance,
Pat

[PD] Akai LPD8 Pd Abstraction

2011-02-22 Thread patrick mcnameeking
Greetings List,
I put together a clean-looking patch for use with Akai's LPD8 controller.
 Nothing fancy here, just a nice way to interface it with OSC.  Thought I
would post it here in the hopes that it might save someone else a little
time in the future if they happen to be using the same hardware.
cheers,
Pat

Description:

A simple patch to be used as an abstraction giving graphical feedback
regarding the state of Akai's LPD8 knobs and trigger pads. This patch
provides routing options for OSC as well. Click on the "Info" toggle for
instructions on its use. Click the "OSC" toggle to configure your OSC
settings, then click the "1/0" toggle to turn OSC on or off. This patch
requires the mrpeach library for the [udpsend] and [packOSC] objects.

Re: [PD] iSight, pix_video, Mac Books Pro and Pd-extended 0.42.5

2011-02-15 Thread patrick mcnameeking
Hi there, I just experienced the exact same error on a black macbook 4,1
 2.4 Ghz.  I went ahead and created my patch and then opened it in
PD-Vanilla and after importing all the necessary libraries and it worked
fine.  I just tested the patch out in extended 0.42.5 again and it is
running perfectly.  I couldn't explain how or why this worked but I just
thought i'd share with you how i dealt with it.
Hope that helps.
Pat

[PD] Google Summer of Code 2011

2010-06-06 Thread patrick mcnameeking
Hello List:

I am interested in putting together an application for Pure Data to
participate in next year's Google Summer of Code event.  The Summer of Code
is an event where students are matched with mentors to work on various
open-source projects, and are given a rather generous stipend.  More
information can be found here:
http://code.google.com/soc/

As an organization, Pure Data has applied to participate in GSoC twice in
the past and has been rejected.  The reasons for rejection are not clear to
me, but Hans-Christoph Steiner, who has lead the charge in the past, said
that he thinks it is worth trying to reapply.
Here is a link to a previous application that was rejected:
http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code

While perusing through the list of organizations that are participating in
2010's Summer of Code, I couldn't help but notice that many of them were
tagged with application to Google's Android OS.  Since Pd can be ported to
Android, it might be to our benefit to point out Pd's possible application
to developing mobile apps.

Alternatively, if nothing pans out for Pd in terms of GSoC (either from
rejection of an application or from a lack of interest) it was suggested to
me by Andy Farnell to seek alternative sponsorship from possible benefactors
such as Sun or EA.

Finally, I'd like to say upfront that I'm a University Student and what
originally got me interested in GSoC was the potential prestige and stipend
that would accompany participation.  If some sort of grant/sponsorship
opportunity opens up, I fully intend on applying for it.  I ask that if at
any point in time it seems as though I am creating an unfair advantage for
myself, that someone please let me know.

I hope that as a community we can make something happen!
Pat

[PD] [PD-announce] Megapolis DIY Audio Festival in Baltimore

2010-05-06 Thread patrick mcnameeking
Hey there announce list!

   The Megapolis Audio Art Festival is going to be held in Baltimore, MD
this year from the evening of May 14 to Sunday May 16.  I'm going to be
doing a workshop/jam session in PD and I'm hoping that it will be a lot of
fun.  My guess is that anyone who is on the PD list probably won't learn a
whole lot from the workshop but we are going to create some simple
synthesizers and then plug into a mixer and have a jam session that everyone
can enjoy.
The festival itself has an awesome lineup of performances, workshops,
lectures, and installations.  I'm sure that there is something for everyone
to enjoy!
Hope to see some of you there!
Pat

Alright I'm feeling like a real n00b here but i've got another question:  I
was trying to install the binaries for the older flext libraries and they
are in .pd_darwin format.  It's not working on my version of pd so I was
wondering if there is an easy workaround or if I am going to have to compile
the source myself.  And if so, could someone give me a few pointers in that
direction.  Like I said, working with code is a new thing to me and i'm
stabbing around in the dark.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct place for this question but
here goes:
I consider myself to be fairly proficient with pd and recently I have been
getting excited about python through a computer science class at my
university.  I was especially excited to learn that it is possible to use
python to script objects in pd using py/pyext and purity.  I've become quite
frustrated, however because i haven't been able to figure out how to get
these libraries/modules to work.  I'm running OSX leopard with a highly
customized version of pd-extended.
Anybody have any ideas?
