>The array should be traversed column by column, giving the possibility for polyphony or drum programming.

There's a [matread-line tablename] object in there which I didn't document. It outputs all the values of a single line (y value) in order along with it's column index (x).

You could easily adapt it to be matread-column instead

>So you break a matrix into a single Array, nice! I wonder if it takes effect on timing, say: Does it take longer to find values? I'll try out this evening

Longer compared to what? it's just a matter of multiplying and adding to find the proper index in the array. Can't get any faster than O(1).

December 5, 2009

12:00 -- 1:30 PM : Introductory workshop on Pd with Hans-Christoph Steiner
2:00 -- 6:00 PM : SkillShare w/Steiner and members of RjDj programming team

Free, capacity for up to 30 participants

RSVP HERE: http://tinyurl.com/ykaq3l3

Hans-Christoph Steiner returns to Eyebeam with members of the RjDj programming team from Europe to help turn your iPhone or iPod-Touch into a programmable, generative, and interactive sound-processor! Create a variable echo, whose timing varies according to the phone's tilt-sensor or an audio synthesizer that responds to your gestures, accelerations and touches. Abuse the extensive sound capabilities of the Pure Data programming language to blend generative music, audio analysis, and synthy goodness. If you're familiar with the awesome RjDj, then you already know the possibilities of Pure Data on the iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd and 3rd generation Touch only).

Creating and uploading your own sound-processing and sound-generating patches can be as easy as copying a text file to your device! In this 4-hour hands-on SkillShare, interactive sound whiz and Pure Data developer Hans-Christoph Steiner and several of the original RjDj programers will lead you through all the steps necessary to turn your phone into a pocket synth.

How Eyebeam SkillShares work

Eyebeam's SkillShares are Peer-to-Peer working/learning sessions that provide an informal context to develop new skills alongside leading developers and artists. They are for all levels and start with an introduction and overview of the topic, after which participants with similar projects or skill levels break off into small groups to work on their project while getting feedback and additional instruction and ideas from their group. It's a great way to level-up your skills and meet like-minded people. This SkillShare is especially well-suited for electronic musicians and other people who have experience programming sound. Some knowledge of sound analysis and synthesis techniques will go a long way.

We'll also take a lunch break in the afternoon including a special informal meeting about how to jailbreak your iPhone!

Your Skill Level

All levels of skill are OK as long as you have done something with Pd or Max/MSP before. If you consider yourself a beginner It would help a lot to run through the Pd audio tutorials before attending.

NOTE: On the day of the SkillShare we will hold an introductory workshop from 12:00 until 1:30 PM, led by Steiner, for those who want to make sure they're up-to-speed before the actual SkillShare starts at 2:00. The introductory workshop is for people who have some done something in Pd or Max/MSP but are still relative beginners in the area of electronic sound programming.

What You Should Bring

You'll need to bring your iPhone or iPod Touch (2nd or 3rd generation Touch only), your own laptop, a headset with a built-in mic (especially if using an iPod Touch) and the data cable you use to connect your device to your laptop. Owing to a terrific hack, you won't even need an Apple Developer License for your device!

More Information

RjDj is an augmented reality app that uses the power of the new generation personal music players like iPhone and iPod Touch to create mind blowing hearing sensations. The RjDj app makes a number of downloadable scenes from different artists available as well as the opportunity to make your own and share them with other users. RjDj.me

Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing. Pd is free software, and works on multiple platforms, and therefore is quite portable; versions exist for Win32, IRIX, GNU/Linux, BSD, and MacOS X running on anything from a PocketPC to an old Mac to a brand new PC. Recent developments include a system of abstractions for building performance environments, and a library of objects for physical modeling for sound synthesis.

6PM: Holiday party (think spiked eggnog, cider and holiday treats!)
540 W. 21st St.

Cost: Free. Calling all makers, residents, fellows, and friends ...

If you haven't yet experienced everyone's favorite holiday gift-making event, here's the scoop: For one day and one day only, Eyebeam becomes an all-ages, mutl-workshop electronic craft-making fair, with entertainment, decorations and plenty of holiday spirit.

Have an iPod you want to repurpose into a hackable music machine? Install iPodLinux and make music with Pd! Want to play Doom on your iPod Video? Come install Rockbox! Did your trusty iPod's battery finally die, or disk give in? Come and break open your iPod, either the software, the hardware or both. Give it new life and new purpose. Also, we have on hand our stash of old iPods for harvesting parts, and the newfound skills for frankensteining dead iPods into living ones. Join Hans-Christoph Steiner and Chris "the Widget" DiMauro with your own iPod, or try your hand to see if you can create a living one from our pile.

This workshop is a place to get exposed to the possibilities. We've been hacking on some iPods to see what's possible. Lots of this software is kind of raw, but you can do lots of fun stuff now. We are just getting started, we are having fun exploring the options. Now we want to help you do the same.

PureData + AntiDataMining workshop
RYbN proposes an initiation to PureData for approaching flux aesthetics. How to recover data on the web in order to feed an installation? How to divert data flow and extract a visual translation out of it? The workshop will approach the different aspects allowing data recovering and visualization. more infos : http://www.imal.org/WorkshopADM/

hi monbaza - i do the same thing as you do, but at night i'm a whore ... pd whore
anyway, i was once lost with Pd but now i must say that i learn by embarrasing myself posting some stupid questions & asking some obvious dumb one. but i guess we all got to start somewhere. so now i am not that lost...

here's a good start as sometimes pd browser is very hard to understand;

http://en.flossmanuals.net/puredata

of course don't forget about our own obiwan site, lots of cool pd info & patches to try;

http://obiwannabe.co.uk/

this pd workshop has a lot of example that you can check out as well;

http://puredata.info/docs/workshops

here's miller puckette's dsp book which you can check out as well & refers to a lot of Pd example;

http://crca.ucsd.edu/~msp/techniques/latest/

unfortunately, there's no well documented pd book afaik, i'm waiting for obiwan's book to be release which i'm sure lots of helpful info...

have fun...

Codelab.fr est un nouveau forum francophone consacré à la création d'images, de vidéo, de son et de musique par le code (pure-data / gem, processing, chuck, supercollider, livecode, vvvv, etc.) ou l'expérimentation électronique (construction d'interfaces et d'instruments, circuit-bending, etc.)
Les logiciels et langages abordés sur le forum sont open-source (sauf vvvv, gratuit pour usage non commercial).
C'est un espace de partage d'idées, d'entraide pour les utilisateurs de ces outils, et d'accueil pour les débutants qui pourront y trouver des conseils pour démarrer.
Un forum annonces est également disponible pour présenter les manifestations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc. qui donnent une place à ces pratiques.

For english readers :

Codelab.fr is a new french speaking forum devoted to the experimental practices for creation of pictures, videos, sound and music by code (processing, chuck, supercollider, livecode, pure-data, gem, vvvv, etc) or electronic experimentation (interfaces and instruments, circuit-bending, etc.)
The software and languages approached on the forum are open-source (except for vvvv which is free for a not-commercial use).
It is a crossroads where users could meet and help themselves. Beginners are welcome, and will be able to find some advices and help to start creative code programming.
A forum is also available to announce demonstrations, workshops, concerts, associations, etc for these practices.
