Hey,

I'm trying to use the data I'm getting from a webcam to convert from OSC into midi in pure data. I'm getting a signal in pd so I know the ports are connected (I'm using OpenTSPS to track with a webcam), but when I try to convert the signals they are not changing in the number boxes.

I've attached the patch.

In OpenTSPS the numbers are supposedly: int blob id /int blob age /float blob centre x /float blob centre y (and then some more which I don't need to convert).

When I get a signal it looks like this in pd:

unpacked: /TSPS/personUpdated/ 0 0 1198 0.628212 0.873235 1.00037 0.943298 0.192574 0.525 0.697917 0.226563 0.3 417.303 437.32 0 0 0 0 0 0

Any thoughts on why the number boxes aren't changing?

Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I have an idea for an installation and I'm just wondering if it's possible using PD.

Basically I want to play a recording back through some loudspeakers but its playback will be defined by contextual information (I was thinking possibly by the number of people in the room, or even better, their location within the room).

Does anyone have any ideas about how I could go about doing this?

If the installation gets used and you have given me help, I will credit you as 'Technical Assistant' if you like.

Thanks!

Thanks Gromit! I can see now where I went wrong, and it's all working! Brilliant.

Maelstrom, thanks for your quick reply.

I've tried playing the audio file in a slightly different way (see attached file). It's loading and playing the whole thing, but it's about double the speed it should be.

Basically I'm trying to play the 12min track without any alterations, then develop the patch so that data from a kinect will control some parameters of its playback (like speed, eq and reverb).

Should I be using [tabplay~] instead of [tabread4~], or is there a more suitable object you could recommend?

Thanks again (having trouble uploading the pd patch so I've uploaded through Rapidshare).

hi, here is an example that shows how to play a .wav with tabread4~ and readsf~

problem in your patch is the missing tables and arrays i'd say.

Radiostarkiller, I'm using your tabread4~ example to play a wav file that's about 12 minutes long and although it seems like it has located the file, an error appears that says 'resize failed'.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks

Ah thanks, I'll play around with that and see if I can get something working.
