I wonder whether Pd works well on mid-range Nokia phones running Windows.

In particular, I'm interested to know of the latency in processing audio-in to -out, if the phone is used as say a guitar effects-box.

The Raspbery Pi mini computer-board has finally just been released: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17190918

... and, I'd be grateful to hear of folks here who might have a shot at using it with Pd over the coming days.

Dear Pd people.

This is to very warmly invite you to think of joining us as Primary-Participant/s of the 7th annual "Carnival of e-Creativity", which is to be played out through February 24-25-26, 2012, at Sattal Estate once again, just above Bhimtal, near Nainital, in the lower Kumaon of the Himalayan Indian state of Uttarakhand.

A barebones webpage is now up as an announcement at: http://www.theaea.org/cec_cac/cec12/index.htm
The standalone CeC website will soon be updated at: http://carnival-of-ecreativity.com/

And, you can link through from the former, if you like, to far more substantive pages on earlier iterations of the incident, for lots of further information on what this is all about. You are also very welcome to ask me for any clarification or further information that you might wish to have in this regard at any time, by emailing shankarbabaa at gmail.

Keep well all ~ Shankar

Hello all,

Today, I was privileged to be a part of what I think was a wonderful interaction and performance here in Delhi, India, running Pd, a Kaossilator, a Jews Harp, and an old Boss Delay.

And, I am grateful to this forum and many of you here for having lent the shoulders for me to lean upon.

(no, we didn't bother to even think of recording)

Thank you, and keep well all ~ Shankar

Hello all,

I'd like to be in touch with folks working with Pure Data in India (especially Delhi).

Aside from personal interest, I am involved with a couple of public events I'd love love to drag you into.

Keep well all ~ Shankar

Just thought to post a link to this simple PD play, since some friends really seemed to enjoy the patch when I recently gave them a demo.

The patch, derived from JKant's "Cage.pd" quite awhile ago, is attached, and I'd obviously love to have folks carry it further.

Hello all,

I wonder what sorts of other audio software you all use in addition to Pure Data,.. and your experiences with using them in concert with, and/or in comparison to, PD.

Thanks in advance for all responses.

... and keep well all ~ Shankar

Hello All.

I'm planning to make a midi-controlled and solenoid-driven little robotic drummer (just 2 sticks to begin with) over the coming weeks, using Tom Scarff's Miduino 'Midi to 16 outputs' board, so as to demo the concept in CeC 2010 (http://www.theaea.org/cec_cac/cec10/index.htm).

Now, I do suspect that I 'may' be able to make a basic PD patch to run this, even though I'm an pin-headed permanent newbie with this stuff.

However, being a pretty regular visitor here, I am pretty sure that there's probably a ready patch somewhere in here that would serve for this,... with perhaps just a wee bit of tweaking.

Any ideas, advice, leads?

Keep well ~ Shankar

Hello all,

I wanted to have a taste of Pure Data on Linux by booting into PureDyne off a memory-stick.

However, the PureDyne download is an ISO file, which I believe is a CD mirror. In my case, WinRar just unzipped it out into a few files and directories.

But, putting these onto a stick and trying to boot off that does now work.

How should I go about this correctly?

Keep well all ~ Shankar

I find that [hidin] recognizes only a few of the switches, and neither of the levers, of a cheap generic game-controller that I plugged into PD, under Win-XP.

Is this normal, or should I try a 'better' game-controller? Alternatively, is there a better way to go about this?

Thanks in advance for any guidance along these lines.

And, keep well all ~ Shankar
