Re: [LAU] {SPAM!} [ANN] Taijiguy GigaTron

by Julien Claassen

Hello Q! Thanks for releasing the Gigatron publicly now. It's been a great pleasure to play it and see it grow. And it makes one appreciate the work, that goes into such a thing. but you might think about changing your sender name from Q to at least a nick. Since your list mails invariably land in my spam folder. It would be a pitty, if people missed this only because of stupid mail software.

Re: [LAU] a lot of xruns after upgrading from ubuntu 8.04 to, 10.04

by Kim Cascone

I've also been having some issues with xruns (mostly while using the zynaddsubfx synth) and have been fiddling with my Jack settings to see if I can minimize them current settings: RT=true; Priority: 89; Frames: 1024; SR: 44kHz, Periods/Buffer: 3; and my latency is 69.7mS -- I'm using the 2.6.36-3.dmz.2-liquorix-686 kernel --------------------------------------------------------------- -- another weird anomaly is that I get clicks from the zynaddsubfx synth engine when pressing more than one or two keys at once or when going from one key to another -- mostly heard on pads...this happens intermittently and doesn't happen all the time settings in my limits.conf file: ================================== /etc/security/limits.conf @kim - rtprio 99 @kim - memlock unlimited settings in my audio.conf file: ================================ /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf the same parameters are # commented out in the 'audio.conf' file do they need to be uncommented out? not sure why there exist two places and whether having one location is sufficient...? is there a thread or page where Jackd optimization is discussed in detail? I've read the Jack FAQ http://jackaudio.org/faq but it would be helpful if there was something outlining how to adjust all the various params to minimize xruns for various work environments... i.e. synth programming duplex 16 track recording laptop performance podcast etc

I've tried a lot of stuff already to make it work again. My file systems are all OK, I tried the "repair" option in the folder properties and what not. But I think I may have solved the problem by readjusting the options of the "View" menu.

Re: [LAU] Snd learning curve

by Bill Schottstaedt

The "cursor-moves-while-playing" flag is with-tracking-cursor. It defaults to false currently -- perhaps I should change that. You can set it in the preferences dialog (under "Cursor", "track current location while playing"), or via (set! (with-tracking-cursor) #t). I've used about a half dozen names for this over the years -- the word "track" has so many meanings in computer music that I have tried to avoid it. I've added an easy way to play the selection looped (in the current daily tarball or the CVS sources). In older versions, if you have the context-sensitive menus loaded, right click in the selection, and choose "Loop play". Otherwise you need to run the code that performs that operation (see popup.scm). But as I say, it's easier now in the new Snd version. There's also an arrow for "play from the cursor". The preferences dialog complaint that a module isn't loaded is harder to fix because you can run different versions of Snd, and the dialog is tailored to whatever is currently loaded, but saves the preferences in some file like ~/.snd_prefs_s7 which is loaded by any version. The complaint itself arises because you're asking for some feature that depends on a module (the Gtk/Motif bindings for example) that isn't loaded in the Snd you're currently running, and that can't be found as a run-time loadable library. I think I'll change the dialog to provide settings only for stuff that is always available. (And I'll move a lot of that stuff into the basic Snd).

For anything urgent you can reach me via the gmail address used to send this messsage. I looking out for a new host, and hope to have the website online before the end of the week.

Re: [LAU] Snd learning curve

by Bill Schottstaedt

Thanks for the kind words about Snd! If any of you have the time and inclination, I'd like to hear how Snd should be changed to make it easier to use. My main interest is in the sound processing, not the user interface (which I guess is painfully obvious), and I use Snd mainly to work on synthesis. I almost never try to, for example, edit a recording. Right now, the gtk version is in transition from gdk to cairo and gtk2 to gtk3, so it's a worse mess than usual. But, it's a good time to make major changes!

In custom of the previous conventions we invite you to submit your papers related to the Pure Data programming environment in the fields of computer science, artistic creation and scientific research. The papers will be rated according to academic standards such as novelty and relevance in a peer review process. The Pd community is a heterogeneous group of users, developers, authors, artists, musicians, programmers; often in more than one role at a time. Papers from widely divergent perspectives are encouraged. Some possible topics could include: - Libraries and externals extending Pd - Tools built in or for Pd - Education - Spatialisation - Pd on mobile devices Pd embedded in games and applications Pd as a framework for audiovisual works Please check the website for the of terms of submission. Templates for the Papers (LaTeX, Open/LibreOffice) will be provided soon on the conventions home page: http://www.uni-weimar.de/medien/wiki/Pure_Data_convention_2011 The conference is held in English, thereby the papers have to be in English. The length of a paper should be 4-8 pages, including an abstract (50-100 words) and up to 5 keywords. Proposals for workshops of all levels, from beginner to special interest, may be directed my email to max.neupert at the domain uni-weimar.de A separate call for music, performances and artworks will follow soon. Please feel free to forward this e-mail to anybody who might be interested! The PureData Convention 2011 organization team. Björn Lindig and Max Neupert
