@jancsika Sorry, not asking you to build it for me, but since I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 I have 1 missing deps (libgls2), I am currently too busy to compile Purr Data.

Will get back to you.

@jancsika I have a feeling that this feature request won't be that useful:

• expensive gear (well got my surface pro 3 running ubuntu for 500$ CAD);
• using built-in pd GUI for live performance not for everybody (and also limited);
• found a very interesting alternative called open stage control; *

If others pders are interested then we can buy you a surface, I would definitely chip in ;p

Open stage control
Here's a GUI that I made in 15 minutes yesterday. Works on mobile too (open stage control create a http server).

Control surface, exposing my patch for multitouch. Normally I am using mobmuplat for android.

"Deciban" is chdh's new audiovisual performance where sound and visual shapes emerge from noise. On the screen, a video noise similar to the "snow" of old analog TVs fills the entire space. This hypnotic material, accompanied by its sound alter ego, is animated and set in motion by forces controlled in real time by two performers using laptops.

The noise acquires a structure, a topology, patterns. Shapes emerge, visual and sound movements appear. The public loose himself in the perception of this world full of illusions. In Deciban, phenomena are drowned in a noise universe: noise is information.

Inspired by Claude Shannon’s information theory, Deciban is a research on the perception of digital generated noise that aims to propose a new type of synaesthetic experience.

@jancsika Super, thanks for brainstorming on this. Looks a bit complex! Let's wait to see if more people ask for it.

In the meantime, I will look for alternative (no idea right now if anyone can suggest a multitouch software for basic GUI (slider, button, toggle etc) with OSC (or any output protocol)...

Cheers~

I have a Surface Pro 3 (very neat device when running linux btw). Pure data runs wonderfully, but lacks the multitouch capabilities. I was wondering if Purr data could be tweak more easily to support this?

Thanks

I don't think so (built-in), but there is always a way depending of what you are trying to achieve.

@thegrinch Hi,

Start pd in the terminal with:
pd -rt ... -alsamidi -mididev 1

You should see pd listed as midi out / in using aconnect -l (ie: aconnect 39:0 40:0).

Cheers~
