Hey @millSkipper I'm really not sure how I missed your message. Thanks for keeping that file uploaded. I've checked it out and still just trying to deconstruct what's happening.

Do you happen to have a version that doesn't use [knob]? I know it's been deprecated since Pd-Extended.

I'm also working on an update to the software which will allow a user to play any number of images and have the all sync to a global clock.

The object you're after is [pix_mean_color]

**hellocatfood**

If you use [pix_alpha] you can achieve the effect you're looking for.

Hi Michael,

Welcome to this forum. Did you try the following terminal commands explained in this page below?:

http://puredata.info/docs/faq/debian
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eighthave/pd-extended
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install pd-extended
If I recall, that's how I installed it on my Linux Mint 17.

Cheers!
Gilberto

That won't work because pd-extended hasn't been built for Ubuntu 14.10.

Announcing the release of Pixel Player, a patch to play pixels as audio (sonification)

Pixel Player

Available from my GitHub account

A full writeup of how and why it it was made can be read here: http://www.hellocatfood.com/pixel-player/

And a sample performance: http://www.hellocatfood.com/sonification-studies/

Would be interested to hear what anyone makes with it!

Hi David,

Really amazing tool, I'm honoured that my work inspired it! I have a few suggestions for improvement but will e-mail you about it.

Myself and a friend did create a mp4 glitching tool in 2012 but it is very messy. I'll upload it to github and perhaps we can collaborate to make it work better.

A patch made in Pd extended to create visual feedback loops in GEM. Example below:

You can now mask the feedback, revealing the original video source underneath (this can be inverted).

I'm attempting to create the different wipe effects found on hardware video mixers such as the

. If anyone can improve this patch please do so (and share it

For those that own a HSS3jb here's a patch to let you control it from PD. Port number is set to default 1.

I haven't yet figured out how to add a toggle to control which mode it is in. I think it is related to this bug.

Is there any way to use Pure Data to remove the buzz/humming noise generated by groundloop problems from a live feed?

I'm looking for an object, similar to the current slider objects, that allows the user to set maximum and minimum values within the range of the slider maximum and minimum values. If that isn't clear take a look at this diagram

For reference, I'm looking for this kind of object so that I can set in and out points of a video. I already have a solution (attached. borrows code from elsewhere on the forum) but wondered if there is an object to do this.

I recently got a Dell XPS 13 Developer edition running Ubuntu 13.04 (Intel Ivybridge Mobile driver) and have tried using pd-extended 0.43.4 64 on it. For the most part it runs fine. However, I've noticed that in some situations, such as an old patch not being able to find external abstractions, it causes the screen to go black and then log me out. This also happens in some patches when I try to type in the name of a new object on the canvas.

I'm not exactly sure what is causing this. I've attached a patch that I grabbed from the PD mailing list which causes a restart when I try to type in a new object.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've been using Pure Data for visuals for some time and now I'm attempting to make some music. I've come across some great tutorials (especially those by Obiwannabe) but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed by them.

As a starting point, can anyone advise me on the simplest way to create bass/snare drum sounds? I'm not after the best sounding drums, just something that can help teach me and that I can build on

Thanks

I'm trying to use [binfile] ([mrpeach/binfile]) to generate a jpg that is filled with randomly coloured pixels. A search on the internet revealed that all jpgs need to start with "255 216 255" and end with "255 217". I opened up a few jpgs and can confirm that this is the case

I've created a patch (attached) that does this but the output can't be read by any programs. IS this an error in Pd (e.g. is it adding extra data) or are there some other rules about jpgs that I don't understand?

I recently finished a "bumper" (short advertisements for the event) for GLI.TC/H, the video for which can be .

I'm also making available the patch that created it as I wanted to make a more interactive bumper than a static video.

Play around with it and have fun!

I just uploaded a video that I made with PD/GEM/Gridflow to my .

The patch that created this (attached) records the output of two videos - one "normal" and one glitchy - fading in and out of each other. The audio was made using Din

To use it load a directory of videos, load the GEM window and then press the big red start button. A video is automatically saved (using PDP), though do be careful as these files get very large very quickly! If, for any reason, saving the video doesn't work just delete the line going from [#from_pix, colorspace rgb] to [#to_pdp]. Saving video's always a bit tricky with PD/GEM and I just managed to find a way that works for me...

I made this using PD extended 0.42.5 and Gridflow 9.13 on Ubuntu 11.04. I had a few glitches - and not the good kind! - with [pix_chroma_key] that caused the program to crash when the video on the left-hand side had finished playing.

Happy glitching!
