Hi everybody, just joined this useful forum.

I've been using PD for about a week, I find it amazing and really powerful.

I'm a musician and composer and sound engineer, and unfortunately I live in Italy.

I'm using PD mostly to create generative music to be processed with Live or other software. I work a lot with acoustic sources.

In my signature here below there's my website, if you like you can listen to my music.

Nice to meet all of you and start this amazing trip into PD.

Welcome,

you should check out http://www.generativeart.com/ if you are in Italy, i believe the conference is there.

Wow this is really interesting, thanx!!

Hi I am new to PD and have been playing with Max Msp for 6 months on and off.
I am interested in sound modelling , I am a Guitar Player and also very interested in
live interactive jamming over the internet and live broadcast possibilities with interaction also.
Sadly two of the best show cases for this sort of thing Deep Rock Drive and Live at the Paradiso have not continued but will I think come back in one shape or form.
they were both really rather good, I also started to develop my own concept in the UK before moving to Sweden where I am continuing to develop the idea.
I am a fan of Kompoz and Ninjam and have discovered some other interesting initiatives in these directions also.
I have been working with Linux also this summer converting my net book and trying to get reaper to run in linux and playing with Ardour and Audacity I have been testing various of the music based and multi media based distros. Mostly I work on an Intel Mac and use Reaper and Logic as my interest in Plugins and porting windows based plugins for use of Mac and linux has increased I have become more curious and frustrated by how many plugins are catering solely for windows based systems.
I am very interested in the open source ethos and particularly passionate about Music education and its wider application to encourage learning across other academic and vocational disciplines Leveraging the Cool so to speak.
All of these are relatively new interests I have spent the past 10 years recovering from a successfull career in property development in London I retired to the country and pursued artistic and holistic goals finding I had sold my Soul at the wrong crossroads to pursue the wrong muse i.e money and not art. I am now blissfully happy and considerably less endowed with the devils gold it must be said.

I have landed up at PD following a complete conversion and inspiration from one of your members inventions Slice Jockey and live decomposer, the modelling possibilities of DSP convolution have been occupying my studies almost exclusively in recent months and Slice Jockey really was akin to Moses meeting the Burning Bush for me a truly amazing piece of work.

SO here I am with my first technical question How does one load a patch that is in code into PD? I have downloaded this link http://www.toxonic.de/#guitar_rack and can not find what to do with the page of code that results in my right clicking the link? With the age old abmonition RTFM ringing in my ears I have searched and looked and failed to find anything to give me a clue ( If you don't know , and I don't ) this stuff can seem wholly baffling. Any suggestions gratefully recieved.

so, you right click, and save the file?

i just did that and it works fine. It sounds like your computer or browser is set up in a way that right click is not working as it should.

hang on...you downloaded it...so you should have a patch on your computer now called guitar_rack.pd

yeah?

If you have that, then all you need to do is open that file with pd. Like, just take the file and drag it on top of the pd icon. Or open pd first, and use the 'open' command from the taskbar.

No Joy for me I am afraid I get a page of code my computer does seem to be playing up I'll persevere thanks for the quick reply.

Downloaded the patch on my net book running chrome in Zorin distro and patch downloaded fine for some reason my mac running snow leopard can not do it?

a mac running snow leopard is what i use. no problem.

to clarify, when you're on the mac, are you able to actually download the guitar_rack.pd file to your desktop or whatever?

do other pd files work on that mac?

yes I have manage to download PD and other patches for it for some reason that one does not sem to want to come down nicely like the others have.
It works fine as my Mac is on a network with the linux machine and my HP Media Smart server which is windows based. If i figure out what is happening I'll let you know but my mouse settings etc are all fairly vanilla out of the OSX tin and I simply do not have the expertise at my disposal to do anything outside the box.

Hi Mod,

To add insult to injury I just got the thing to download, I think it may have been my secondary mouse control which was off that said all is well that ends well.
Thank you so much for the help Toxonic also responded to my e mail. Next up some Audio analysis tools.

Thanks again,

All the best

Thank you very much for the post. As you mentioned that you are a musician, I would like to tell you that listening music is one of my hobbies and I become very happy if anyone share the musical post. If yo dont mind, please share some new post with the link of your music.

Hi Ronini,
Here are links to my You Tube and Reverb Nation channels.

The link to you tube is to an improv I made to a 936hz track for stimulation of the pineal gland and consciousness, I have been starting to use 432 hz A tuning.

My enthusiasm has continued unabated since the damascliun conversion to the Slice Jockey Beat.

Others have become similarly smitten.
