Hi,

we are trying to make a network pd performance, in which one person is live coding, which should be displayed in a patch on another computer. One computer is in a complete different area than the patch which is used for the performance. What we want to achieve is the creation of a patch from a remote computer, so there is only one person coding. We are working with the netpd library now, but it seems that there is only data sending and receiving (and no object creation). So is it even possible to create objects in a remote patch? Thanks in advance,

cheers

yeah there´s a patch section on the forum, it´s the second one or something i think. it says patch

So how did it work out?? Have you finished the project using PD?? Please post a link so I can read about the project cause it sounds great! I am going to study composition and technology in the Netherlands and one of the things I´d love to work with is interaction in sound and composition, and I wanna use puredata for it if it works wel...

You can use FFT analysis to acquire timestretching, although I don´t know exactly how it works. There´s quite some theory involved and one of the ways is the one which hardoff is referring to.
There are some free tools on the internet like soundhog, they can timestretch as well as pitch shift without stretching the length of a sample, maybe there´s some help file in it which can help you out....try to get some help on sound convolution theory I think it will help you out as well, but it is quite hard math.

_one tip i can offer is that if you are serious about interfacing, consider using OSC (open sound control) for communication between your various components. it is more flexible than midi and is becoming more and more portable and adaptable. even if you are using midi connections, it can still be benificial to implement an OSC messaging system: lets say you have a midi keyboard controlling part of your patch. if you convert incoming midi messages to OSC messages, you can also control your patch from any other hardware or software application that supports OSC and is connected to your patch (either physically or virtually by a tcp/udp connection). _

sounds great, I haven´t tried that yet. I am often working with my RS 50 D-Beam a lot (infrared sensor which het its input from let´s say you hand or any object.....kind of a theremin device...) so I am really interested in the kind of patches I can create using this device.

My hardware is a AMD athlon 1.8 GHz 256 MB. Soundcard: SB Live! with MIDI out to a Roland RS 50 synthesizer (can be used as a stand alone synth but I love to link it to my own patches on the computer as a MIDI device) Sennheiser HD 600 headphone (which is awesome!!) Would like to have some decent equipment to record guitar and voice and such though....
