i've also used the launchpad on two little projects.

you mean whatever it's possible to control the launchpad's leds from pd? it's easy: just use the same midi note # as the pad sends to pd. for example, sending midinote 16 /w velocity 15 will turn first pad on the second row to bright red.

this will explain it all (progammes reference at the bottom)

Hey guys,

Just discovered this forum for PD. Great info and valuable documentation.

I need help with this patch that i created for ToucOSC with Pd extended. ( actually a modification of the Keys layout that comes with TouchOSC )

Its basically a 5 page layout. 1 to 4 being a midi keyboard controller of one octave for each page that can trigger any note out for Ableton Live VSTi's ( for my use ), and the last page being a bunch of controllers.

Problem is, the first and second page are working as they should, but the third page triggers wrong info from the TouchOSC interface on ipodtouch. when i play C# it reflects as being a G in PD and so on...like all the notes are not properly assigned. The 4th and 5th page not triggering at all. Nada, zilch!

Im quite new to PD extended and its language, ive done some research on the net, and im feeling quite lost in all of this. Im sure you know the feeling...so ive included my patch here. If anybody can have a look, and maybe tell me what ive done wrong, and can indicate me as how i can correct the matter, that would be immensely appreciated.

Cheers,

VP

As part of the Nth Synthesis and Duo-THAM tour, we will organize two Blank Pages session (#7 and #8) in Berlin. We search for sound artists or musicians who work with the graphical programming environnements Pure Data or Max/MSP to interpretate the Blank Pages score. This score requires participants to play together and improvise without prior preparation. The Blank Pages score, describes the situation in 4 points : (http://blankpages.fr/score.html) :

60'00''
Pure Data
Blank Page
No load/No Save

Participants are asked to bring a laptop with the software Pure Data or Max / MSP installed.
Seating is limited. Please download and complied the field :

I'm having a page built for an album that I'm wrapping up. The page looks like a sequencer and I want to make it functional.

It is an 8 beat sequencer and the GUI for the page is programed in flash. Is it possible to build the pd sequencer and make it run on a web server receiving OSC messages from the flash client (probably using flosc or some other translator.) All of the samples on the sequencer will be chosen by me and not changeable.

The final step would be to make it render one repetition of the 8 bars. This would allow people to make different mix ups and complete songs with the web page itself.

Here is an idea of what the flash page will look like. there are only three channels here but it will open up to 8 when you go into play mode.

Hello,
I have absolutely no concpet or idea of how any of this works really,
I am a multimedia student in Dundalk Institute of Technology Ireland,
And the project I am trying to create goes a little like this...

the user walks into "this" room,
"this" room, not literally the computer room in our house,
"this" being the porject installation for the exhibition day,
where they sit in front of a moniter and answer a series of questions,
through a control form that still isnt really decided yet,
were actually now thinking about making our own controllers,
using fader/sliders sort of controls,
although not as analogue, they would act as simple switches or buttons,
sliding it up fully to make a choice or that.
the interface will be designed on director,
this being the program our interface designer is most comfortable with
and on this the questions will appear and be answered,
and it should be able to store all the collected information in some form of database,

There's like 4 different series of questions,
IQ/Logic, Personality, Attitude and Emmotion,
each with about 10questions except for the logic which will be time and score based and contain puzzles and the likes.
Anyway this gathered information then is kinda translated,
into what we hope to be like a 40second or so melody.
Different answers all have a different outcome,
not as simple as just piling on a load of different samples,
but more piling together different musical elements,
like one persons could have a time signature of 3:4 or 4:4 or 11:8 or whatever,
and the scales involved, the key its in, the tempo,
the amount of layers, and the instruments in each,
the amount of notes per bar and the length certain notes should be,
the majority of questions and what they should be reflective of musically is
actually almost complete in its research actually,
the problem Im facing is sending this information on to something that will automatically produce this melody,
"Pure Data", is what has been recommended to me by lecturers in the music department,
but to be honest Im not managing very well,
Im trying to work through tutorials at the moment,
and theres alot expected off me in the next few days,
and in the event of this not working for me am supposed to have some other alternative?
Personally what I hoped to do, is just like have all these things,
elements of the melody that is,
to be able to be input into some sort of sequencer,
like if the melody is to be at a tempo of 130 or whatever than thats added to the track,
and whatever the other details are there added to the new track too,
and then its ready,
but is anything like that possible with any software sequencers that your aware of,
or to do something like that would it involve reprogramming things or what,
like you know the way on one of these programs like reason or whatever,
you can humanly set all these charactoristics for the tune,
can you have it so that this information is sent on to a program like this,
and interprets and arranges all the material for you in this way?
Ive managed to download one such sequencer arranger program,
I think it even has the ability to perhaps record some of my own sounds into it too,
tiz called Ableten Live 7
http://www.ableton.com/live

Does anyone know how to achieve... easily rather than hard, what it is am trying to do here any replys welcome, thank you Gav

brett, the answer to your question is at the end of what i wrote.

if u make an abstraction called [dollars]

then, for [dollars 5 bananas] $1 = 5 and $2 = bananas

so $1-whatever = 5-whatever , and $2-whatever = bananas-whatever.

"In other words, is naming the objects $1-whatever and $2-whatever any different from naming them whatever1 and whatever2?"

Absolutley - 1-whatever will not work. $0-whatever works because $0 is special, it gets replaced bu a unique per patch/abstraction number. $n is the nth parameter to an abstraction.

sory jumping in, that was addressed to you Nestor, elaborate for brett with an example maybe, i need my bed.

OPEN technologies workshop, Zaragoza, Spain, June 26th - July 1st

http://www.0j0.org/pmwiki/index.php/Events/GohanDevelopmentJun07

******* FREE WORKSHOP ANNOUNCEMENT *******

Arduino, Pd, and Processing are becoming more and more intertwined. Sensors controlling software synthesis, robots controlled by video tracking, custom musical instruments, and more. We are a collection of developers working with these free software tools. Join us to work on projects of these combinations, or help us create new possibilities by bringing these tools ever more intertwined.

This event is a combination of a hacklab and a barcamp. We are following the ad hoc, participant-driven nature of the barcamp in combination with the collaborative work studio environment of a hacklab. If you have not been to a hacklab, barcamp, and/or unconference before, here are a couple of good references to get an idea of the way it is done:

BarCamp on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp

There will be workshops and talks, and plenty of time to work together. We will all be working together to create projects which will then be exhibited in Zaragoza. Bring one or more of the following: ideas, projects, a desire to learn, a desire to teach. Come everyday to pick up skills and finish your project. Come whenever you can to learn new bits and pieces, and help build compelling things to exhibit!

Dates & Location:
June 26th (Tuesday) - July 1st (Sunday)
Centro de Historia
Pl. San Agustín 2
50002 Zaragoza - Spain

Hello

My name is Jorge Pinto and I am from Portugal. I am electronics professional and I like to develop hardware.

I am doing a cheap(+-30 Euros) and simple "Homemade MIDI Turntable" to connect on PD.

I am looking for information on others projects similar and feed-back, ideas, etc...

I hope to release the final version very soon with GPL licence.

Please tell me what you think about and give me suggestions. Thank you.
