Hello,

I'm new on PD but I'm completely lost to develop my project.

I explain what I need :

I have 11 pictures of wooden carving each one executing a particular choreographic gesture.
I would like to capture the ambiant sound (techno music) and display randomly one of this pictures at every beat of the music.

Is there already developped patches doing this ? if not how can I develop this ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Philippe

Hi Philippe!

try something like this:

audio signal
|
[bonk~]
|
[gemhead] [random 11]
| |
[pix_multiimage my_photos*.jpg 11]
|
[pix_texture]
|
[rectangle 4 3]

...examine help for [pix_multiimage] to find out why * is useful here...

I hope it is a good starting point for you.

Yeah thanks sinewave,

I will try this and will coming back for feedback !

Ok so I have tried this (see attached pd file)

For the moment, I'm unable to connect make the audio working using alsa because of pulsaudio (i'm on ubuntu), when I use jack pd does a segmentation fault

so if I bypass bonk~ and use a bang, pix_multiimage is not happy, it need a num max 0 !?

the pictures are named IMAG1.jpg to IMAG11.jpg

I'm lost at this stage, evan if I have found bang to debug.

Regards.

Philippe

hi philippe,

never used [pix_multiimage] before but it looks like you need to add the total number of images as a second argument (also images numbering starts from 0, you should rename your files accordingly): [pix_multiimage IMAG*.jpg 10]

if this multi image madness gives you other issues you should just use [pix_image] like:

[gemhead]
|
| [0\
| |
| [open IMAG$1.jpg(
| /
[pix_image]
|
[pix_texture]
|
[square 4]
