Hi, guys!

I'm relatively new to Pure Data and I'm making a visual project — with Pure Data (Purr Data version) and Processing — that depends on a good FFT analysis.
I've been trying to solve this problem for some time now.

I made the patch that is in this tutorial:

This patch opens a file and "draws" the left and right channels on two arrays.

I'm trying to mix this patch with the "patches/3-8-1-1-rfft-array.pd" of this tutorial:
http://www.pd-tutorial.com/english/ch03s08.html#id431716

So, what I'm trying to do is to make an FFT analysis to an wav file to represent visually the amplitude of each range of frequencies from the lower frequencies to the higher frequencies for different songs.

When I test the FFT analysis with an [osc~] object (writing it in an array), everything is kind of fine: 10000Hz in the middle, 20000Hz glued to the right. But I noticed that when I put [osc~ 0], the amplitude glued to the left is really high. Same with 50Hz, 100Hz, 150Hz, etc.. until around 1500Hz. Another thing I noticed is that each frequency has a different amplitude.

So, one thing I tried to do: I put the FFT code in a subpatch and changed the blocksize inside it to 4096 with the object [block~]. Since only the first 32 bins shows the frequencies, I put the size of the array with half the blocksize: 2048. Then, since the main frequencies of the majority of the songs goes until around 5000Hz — I've been told that C8 correspond to around 4200Hz, and that would be in the 7th bin in a block size of 64 —, I tried to reduce the size of the array to 512:

20000 (total frequencies) / 2048 (bins) = 9,76 (frequencies per bin)
5000 (frequencies for songs) / 9,76 (frequencies per bin) = 512 (bins)

In a blocksize of 64, this would correspond to the first 8 bins.

But still, after all this, the frequencies are always glued to the left:

I've tried everything to make a well-distributed FFT analysis, like it should be, but it's ALWAYS glued to the left with all the songs that I tried with...

Sorry for the long post and let me know if I wasn't clear in my question...
Thank you in advance!

Hi there,

Thanks for taking the time. I am getting a little bit frustrated here, so I guess it’s best to ask the community:

How do I get MrPeach to work on 0.47.1? I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 (running Linux version 4.9.20-v7+) and Pure Data 0.47.1.

I installed mrpeach using the “find externals” functionality. Of course I edited the path to “/home/pi/pd-externals” and created a “mrpeach” entry in the startup preferences.

Some background information: I want my Python code to “communicate” with pd but actually I do not care how they do this. OSC-Messages seem to be the easiest solution.
Well, seemed. I am a total beginner to pd

Help much appreciated

Daniel

mrpeach: can't load library

Background:

The project I have been working on, for over a year now, began to be more complex than I was able to visualize.

As such, I was required to build something which would allow me to "see" it in its entirety.

NOT the audio stream, passing from one object to another, nor the variables, nor sends.

But rather, I needed to see my objects, i.e. subpatches and abstractions themselves. And how they were embedded within one another. I needed to see the "programmatic-flow" from one sub-object to the next.

Which is how this came about. Examples:
simple example

1.poly.synth

Preface:

Miller's bi-recursive/toroidal loop function, i.e. going "../" up and/or going down "/x/y/z.pd" the embedded object-tree has (thus far eluded me. So the patch for now only recurses down the tree.

Purpose:

By setting up a "Send-To" link to ".pd" filetypes (within Linux), one is able to right-click and send any ".pd" file to the pd2thoughtmap shell script and after a brief time (depending on the complexity of the patch). the "defaultbrowser" will open with a plantuml (http:///www.plantuml.com) usecase diagram showing the "object-flow" from one nested object to the next (clipping branches which have no embedded abstractions).

My hope has been the benefit I have/can gain from this tool, will also benefit the pd community and folks in being able to better "see" what they have done. And how to better organize their patches to suit their vision, the need of the project, or just plain Efficiency.

Instructions:

1-Download the pd2thoughtmap.zip file: pd2thoughtmapv0.1.zip
2-Unzip the file into the /root/pd-externals directory;
3-Right-click on a ".pd" file and go to ~"Configure Send-To" or the equivalent for your linux system;
4-Symlink from the /root/pd-externals/pd2thoughtmap/pd2thoughtmap shell script to the Send-To folder for ".pd" files
5-Right-click on a .pd file and "Send-To pd2thoughtmap";
6-After a pause, your default browser will open with the thoughtmap in a tab. (If your browser is already open it will just open another tab).
note: file processing is managed in the /tmp/pd2thoughtmap folder so unloaded at shutdown.

May this tool expedite your auditory "vision" and make it easier for you to comprehend.

Peace, Love, and Music through us all,
Scott

Footnotes:

It recurses down (the directory-tree finding descendants) just fine but will not go up (find predecessors/ancestors).

It will not recurse abstractions if the filenames have more than one period (i.e. the one in the ".pd" suffix).

It Excludes native pd abstractions/classes, ex. [adc~], etc., if they are 1) on the res/objectlist.txt, 2) a ".pd_linux" file in the pure data paths, i.e. "/root/pd-externals/", "/usr/lib/pd/extra/", or "/usr/lib/puredata/". or 3) manually entered into the "res/exclude.txt" file (in the case where one abstraction is repeated many times and you want to ignore it).

If using the command line, there are four total parameters available (to be used all together): $1=the absolute path to the file, $2={0|1|2,3} to indicate if you want "abs and subpatches", "abs only", "subpatches only", or all pd object types, ex. messages, floatatoms, etc; and $3=the height of the image in pixels, and $4=the width of the image in pixels.

If you want me to debug something, please, attach the outputted .png and the /tmp/pd2plantuml/log.txt to your post.

If you find it outputting things that should have been excluded, you can try to eliminate them by adding the object name to the exclude.txt file. This inconsistency is derived from my complete knowledge of the pd file structure. Perhaps I will address it in the future.

I need to work on the original patch for a while, so will update this patch over time and get back with you when I can.

Tally-Ho! And Joy!

Hi,

I have built a pd abstraction that glitches .MOV/.MP4 files. This is the result of a long process that involved the study and understanding of the way .MOV files work and their atom structure. Having learned a lot while developping my jpeg and mp3 glitchers, I have been willing to transpose this knowledge to the video realm. To make a long story short, my abstraction locates the mdat atom of the file, reads its length and glitches it in a user-controlable way, while leaving the rest of the filestructure untouched, allowing various degrees of glitchiness with very few unreadable files.

Of course, the bigger the files, he longer the processing time. I have able to glitch a 250 meg MP4 (40 minutes of video) in a bout 1 minute on a macbook pro running under OS 10.10 with the latest stable version of PD extended. On slower computers, processing may take up to 5/6 minutes. Also note that results will vary according to the codec used for compression. I have been able to get good results with H264, but they should all work. As usual with glitch, results will also vary according to the player you use. I personnaly prefer VLC . Some files may appear broken on some players and play just fine on others... Usually, if a file breaks in the process, just tweak the settings a bit to get less glitched file, it should work eventually. This is particulary thrue with small files.

Here's a bunch of stills I took from one processed video:

Here's the pd extend abstraction:

mp4glitcher.pd
It's a graph on parent abstraction, so the idea is to open it like an object in a blank canvas.

And here's the standalone version for mac:

Hi, thought I'd post here even thought the thread is old before starting a new topic because my problem is exactly that as described here, though none of the suggestions have help and no one seems to have my exact error console output, which is as follows:

So I've added the word "gem" (with no quotes) to the Startup list, and the external library locations (whose paths can be seen in the above output) yet it doesn't work.

Any ideas? I've verified that both pd and gem are installed and at the lastest version. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10

Thanks

Hi all,
posted this to the list, but no answer -- no discussion! decided to repost here.

I added pd-overlay from layman, and have installed the following:

Why the article at gentoo wiki tells me to remove oscx&zexy flags from build? I didn't listened to it though.

With a few tricks, a working alsa/timidity++/puredata chain was set up
and running, to reference for other newcomers:
pdextended -alsa -alsamidi -stderr -verbose -d (config at pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/8p0rcd41 )

The following files were installed to my system: (filelist with paths:
http://pastebin.com/F9yymAPH )

Now, wanted to install Androidome's script,
http://androidome.googlecode.com/files/AndroidomeRouter.pd

Multiple errors came about missing functions (like mrpeach/udpsend),
and in the UI they were outlined in red.
Also the debug log shown that search under multiple paths (none
included /usr/lib/pdextended/extra/mrpeach)
was failed for that functions.
Looks like http://www.mail-archive.com/pd-dev@iem.at/msg04901.html,
but checks more paths.

... you might be able to track this down from the Find menu.

Which declare's should be added to ~/.pdextended to allow search in
/usr/lib/pdextended/extra/mrpeach and other directories?

Also it seems that
http://docs.monome.org/doku.php?id=dev:pd:simple_mlr uses an old
version of OSC (guess I name the things correctly and dont call fish an aardvark api), function names in code are like dumpOSC instead of packOSC; how to run the script at the link above with 0.42.5, can anyone tell here? (will also bug monome's list).
