Hi,

[New beta version 1.0.8-beta10

I published a new temporary version 1.0.8-beta10. This beta version should be stable but again, I didn't manage to do all the features and fixes that I wanted to do for the version 1.0.8 yet.

Your feedback would be much appreciated!

Thank you!
#122 is not implemented yet

I published a new temporary version 1.0.8-beta4. This beta version should be stable (at least not less stable than the release 1.0.7) but I didn't manage to do all the features and fixes that I wanted to do for the version 1.0.8 yet. You can find the list of the fixes and improvements that are already done on the release section.

Your feedback would be much appreciated!

And here is a little demo of live patching in Reaper with Camomile and the object pd~:

Linux Audio Conference is the premier meeting of developers, researchers, and artists developing and using free, libre and open-source audio software, mainly on the GNU/Linux operating system. The conference is part of the Linux Audio consortium.

This year's Linux Audio Conference starts Wednesday, November 25th at 4:30 pm CET.

This is not directly related to Pd but you might be interested in this conference because you can run Faust code inside Pd and you can generate Pd externals using Faust. Moreover, Faust is open-source and the conference is free and available to everyone 🙂

The Second International Faust Conference (IFC-20) will take place by teleconferencing on December 1-2, 2020. It aims at gathering researchers, developers, musicians, computer artists using the Faust programming language to present current works, creations and projects and discuss future directions for Faust and its community. The 2020 edition is organized by the CICM (Centre de Recherches Informatique et Création Musicale) / the MUSIDANSE Lab / the Université Paris 8.

In 2020, we will put a special focus on artistic, pedagogical, preservation and student projects made with Faust, as well as on the use of this language in mixed music on the Seine Saint-Denis territory. A workshop will bring together young musicians from Saint-Denis Conservatory with their professors, and students from the Music Department of Paris 8 University programming in Faust.

The conference will propose sessions of paper presentations, as well as thematic round tables, demonstrations and tutorials, and artistic events with a concert of music pieces and the exhibition of installations using Faust.
Details and presentation: https://ifc20.sciencesconf.org/

Practical information
The conference and all its events will take place remotely and are free.

The registration is mandatory on the conference website:

https://ifc20.sciencesconf.org/registration

The conference is supported by the AFIM (Association francophone d'Informatique Musicale, through the call for projects of the DGCA of the French Ministry for Culture and Communication) and the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme Paris Nord (through the 2020 call for projects).

Tomorrow at 5 p.m. UTC+1, there will be a conference by Philippe Manoury and Miller Puckette for the JIM2020 (Journées d'Informatique Musicale). If you are attending the conference, you will be able to watch the presentation live. Otherwise, you will be able to access the recording a few hours later on the youtube channel. Today, a concert will be broadcast for free on the same channel. The concert starts at 5 p.m. UTC+1.

@starchild Thank you! I'm pleased these projects are useful to you.

Yes, of course, anybody can contribute by creating issues, merge requests, or writing documentation on the GitHub repositories. You should have a look at this document. In general, I just try to avoid to do things that will complicate the maintenance of the projects because I've already difficulties to find time to work on them. So, it's often better to start a discussion on a subject before starting to develop, this way we could avoid conflicts, see if contributing directly to a project is suitable or if creating a side project would be more appropriate, etc.

BTW, I keep the affiliation with the CICM because I started these projects there and it was great, now I'm working at Ircam for 2 years, so perhaps I will put a double affiliation .

If Automatism doesn't use externals and is made with abstractions, I guess it will be possible to generate a plug-in using a patch created with Automatism (but it will not be possible to edit the patch in the DAW).

The version 1.0.7 released
https://github.com/pierreguillot/Camomile/releases/tag/v1.0.7

Great work! And your videos are so cool

@Schorschua-Phrosch Yes, indeed. You have to use [receive openpanel] (and not [receive camomile]) to receive the file path. Here is the documentation. And here is a fixed version: Openpanel.pd.

And as it seems that you use a Windows system, you will encounter the bug 131. I recommend you to use the beta release. Here is the last ones for Windows64 and for Windows32. At last, using your patch with the plugin PdStal just reveals a new bug - it seems there is a conflict with this example.I will fix this for the next release.

@Schorschua-Phrosch There are two known issues with the openpanel method of Camomile v1.0.6 (131 and 137). The fixes are ready and will be present in the next release. If you think that your problem is related I can give you a beta release for your OS. Otherwise, fell free to report the bug on Github.
Cheers,

Pierre

And faustgen~ have to be compiled with the 64 bits floating-point support. I don't know how they managed it on Purr Data but I don't think it's compatible with Pd Vanilla...

Yes, there is a link to the pd-faust (faust~) project in the help file and in the legacy section of the readme. I can't list the different features between the two objects, sorry. There are too many little things. I guess the best way would be to try both What I can tell is that faust~ is based on the pure language so you have to install Faust and the pure language but it has the FAUST internal MIDI support and it dynamically creates Pd GUI to control the FAUST engine. What I tried to do with faustgen~ is offer an object easy to install and easy to use (Faust is embedded in the external there is nothing more to install) with the similar features to faustgen~ for Max - but the GUI and the MIDI are not managed by the object you have to patch it with Pd.

Since Mac doesn't help the development of 32-bit application (the last Xcode tools don't support it anymore), I think I will drop the 32-bit support of Camomile for MacOS in a near future, and I'll provide a 64-bit version only.

Would it be a problem for someone?
Is there anybody using a 32-bit DAW on MacOS?
In this case perhaps I will split in two separate releases like for Windows. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestion.

@barbouze said:

Is it possible to circumvent this by putting a faustgen~ into a subpatch with a different sample rate?

Yes, it should work because each faustgen~ instance is independent.

For Windows users, I have just released a fix for a small bug (v0.1.1): the text editor didn't open when you clicked on the object if there was a space in the path of the FAUST file. It's already available on the website and on Deken.

A new release v0.1.0 is available on Deken and the Github repository.

• Add support to preserve parameters values during recompilation
• Fix autocompilation when DSP instance not initialized
• Fix support for the double-float-precision option
• Add support to look for the DSP file in all Pd's search paths
• Add support to open the FAUST file in the default text editor when object is clicked
• Add a default locked FAUST file used when no argument is provided
• Fix minor bugs
