I want to produce Audio in Pure data using pure text files (TXT versions), I have already managed to convert the file that I wan tto use (in this case Football commentary) into TXT versions using another software and want to see if I can produce some sort of music (or any sort of sound really) using such a file. I was wondering If anyone has any patches/links/helpful advice that could guide me in the write direction for such a patch. Thank you.

well if you save the pd file as a text file it comes up with a bunch of stuff that looks like

which when pasted into notepad and saved as a pd (as 'all files' will give you an audio patch. Is that what you mean?

the above is actually one of my own patches - i didn't realise the comment i made in the file would actually bring up the real youtube link!

@musicproject I think I might have confused you somewhat,

So I have a a txt file and I am using the Q list object box to make it output certain numbers, I want those numbers to correspond to lets say a drum set. How would I go about creating such a drum set per se in order to make my numbers correspond to particular tunes.

in the puredata help browser
3.audio.examples/C05.sampler.oneshot.pd
you could then use [route ] to trigger the samples.

There are lots of different ways that you could go about this project, but the simplest would seem to be to use the [select] or [route] objects to match given words with the desired outcomes. For example, [select orange blue] will fire on the first outlet if it receives the symbol "orange" and on the second outlet if it receives the symbol "blue". You can connect these to specific musical events and program your music to respond to the text that way.

You'll also have to find a way to separate sentences into individual words and to "drip" them at the speed that you want. [list-dripslow] from the [list-abs] library would manage this, as would [qlist] and [text get].

If you want the sequence to be less language based and more "random", then another option would be to turn the words themselves into numbers using [list fromsymbol] or [any2bytes] from the moocow library. This converts keyboard characters into numbers according their ascii value, so "a b c" become "97 32 98 32 99" (32 being the ascii value for a space). You can then manipulate the numbers using math objects like [moses], [>], etc., in any way you like.
