I have been working on an audio to midi patch for a while and have kind of put it on hold for a bit since i have been working on some other stuff but i think a collaboration on this would be great just to get it working a bit better

im on a macbook 10.4.11

it works best with something plugged right into it rather than a mic but with the right threshold level a mic works just fine

you can test to make sure you have a good connection with 1 of the three synths collected
or just set the midi out right away and go for it
whammybar plus frequency synth in the patch = fun bendyness
whammybar plus midi output = not quite as awesome but still effective
this really makes me want to build my own synth in PD so i wouldn't have to use midi but maybe thats still to come
anyway the patch works for me so lets just go from there
this idea and a good stutter patch are the reason i got into pure data and now i have worked on both yay for these forums

What i want:
the original idea was to be able to modulate the volume of another loop with a field recording, for instance a babbling brook

What I have already:
I have two recorded loops one that plays to the dac~ and one that gets read via tabplay~ & snapshot~ and is then sent to the right inlet of a *~ right before the dac~ for the first loop.

Problem:
Either i am crazy or its not working quite the way i had envisioned it and it may be my computer giving it a bit more of a glitchy sound than i am looking for in this patch

Solution:
am i bng'ing the snapshot to often?
is tabplay & snapshot not the ideal pair for this kind of thing?
Perhaps i am just over complicating this
Maybe an oscillator should be used somewhere?

so has anybody worked on something similar or have any ideas i have included a very nasty looking patch

thanks
Paul

EDIT:
to do if this works:
add live input that could still be modulated by a recorded sound or an oscillator or some kind

i don't know if anybody here has played with this at all but
http://mccormick.cx/projects/KnobsAndSlidersDS/page/download

i wanted to get in touch with the guy that did this and i can't seem to find any way to do that it looks like "obi" may have helped with the midi jammer by lending materiel or something

anyway i want to add more objects that are available to put onto the ds
now before i would have just posted this and hoped somebody knew what was going on
but i actually went into the source code and tried to figure it out

i tried to add a button but i couldn't quite get it to work
so thats why i wanted to get in touch with him or her

i have been playing with this quite a bit here is how i have it set up

macbook=>airport sharing=>NDS=>MIDIWIFI=>MIDIpipe=>battery 3

i have a screen set up taking up almost the whole ds touch screen
and 128 toggles its really wonderful to play with

i have also set up the sliders and knobs
with one patch there is something like 178 midi objects on the ds screen

but i would rather be using a bng instead of a toggle at least when using battery
maybe something where you could give an x y range that would make a box and inside the box you could get the touch screen information ala fudikaos

and also im not sure if its possible but having something like a matrix or patchbay that could be plugged in from one to another something along these lines maybe http://www.machinecollective.org/

so if anybody would know anything about how to do this i would love a push in the right direction whether it be coding help or contact info it would be greatly appreciated

i was wanting to make a simple tremolo/volume effect for a friend of mine so i though i would at least put it up and maybe somebody can use it
i will probably keep working on it a little bit
any thoughts?

This is a little looper i made last night that i am really starting to have some fun with
it can be really weird and chaotic or just kind of a normal looper

1,2,3,4,5,6 chooses the loop number
R records
space bar will sync all the loops by restarting them

to turn on or to turn off the randomness look in pd guts/pd odisto
you plug in the bng and number box to a vslider that will randomly choose where the loops starts to play from
but to turn it off you just go through to each of the 6 loops and unplug them

it would be really easy to save loops you like but i may put a save/load function in

i want to put in reverse, a slight pitch shift, volume and a way to select only a part of the loop to play

any input is there already a lot of stuff out there like this? because i can't really find it
paul

for some reason im having trouble posting this

**sorry I haven't been able to post this for some time but i have been having a lot of trouble actually posting it hopefully it works this time but I have still been working on it here and there so i added a volume slider for each track

does anybody know if i could set a midi slider or knob as the hardware volume controller?
i have a novation x station that im going to test it out with more to come soon i have some other stuff that im getting the kinks worked out on i will hopefully be able to post

http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/Looper.pd.zip

this is going to be my first posted patch so please be kind
but anyway this is really my first big project i have been working on for programming in general
it is by no means done but i think its really fun to mess around with so maybe somebody else could find some use in it
if you want instructions i can start working on that
i really just want some more knowledgeable people to look it over i know there are mistakes
i really just wanted to make something that could take a signal and put some effects on it and it really has just turned into a whole lot more
the whole reason i started this was for the guy im doing music with and he plays guitar and sings so i have also been thinking about hacking a keyboard for some sort of foot controller
using these links as a general guide

the attached file has a couple objects i had to download so i put them in just in case

let me know what you think, its really fun to use to with a microphone and a wav drum sample

rjdj is quite a bit of fun. I had a dream ever since i was a child of having hearing aid type earphones that would let me hear everything backwards this as quite simple with rjdj.

although it would be awesome to patch on the go.

im trying to get this to work but i have actually never really added any startup info could you help me out just a bit

i remember finding a game that used the motion sensor and it worked pretty well i would love to be able to implement this into my pd'ing
im on a macbook 10.4.11
pd version 0.40.3

thank you so much
paul

if you are going to reinvent the wheel you may as well make it so it supports OSC though right?
making and using your own instruments is so wonderful but people have made some really impressive stuff obtainable for free
i didn't even realize there was a vst~ object
i love the smell of pure data working the mechanical innards of my compy in the morning

i love you number gods
thank you for being so kind

hey are you going to school in indiana if so where might you be i would love to get together with a PD'er maybe do some music or something i don't know
regardless im living in muncie and make semi frequent trips to indy
start of the midwest PD extravaganza
if you have any interest my email is bukowskionmymind@gmail.com i would also love to take a look at that patch as im just delving into the world of gem but have a good solid foothold in PD (at least i think i do)
Paul

you are going to have to put into ms how long you want the sound to play there are several ways in which you could specify this

make a randomizer to change ms at random or given intervals
-not very stable and doesn't really lend itself well to audio to midi
or you could use something like the {env~} object to get the signal value and then have the loudness relate to the length
you could preset what midi notes (when received) were to send what length midi note like if you play an a it would select that note and the information would then be sent on that it needs

hope something here helps
and if you are up for it i would love to collaborate on said patch or at least throw some more ideas back and forth

here is something i had been working but have put off now

@sunji said:

petaflop

didn't that get banned from airing during the superbowl

i am on just a lowly macbook 10.4.11 with 2g or ram and 1.83ghz core duo
and it suites my needs for ableton and pure data i usually have them running at the same time and it works great
honestly my suggestion as i used PCs my whole life up until a couple years ago (not that i don't have parallels up and goig with a copy of XP) but with my using macs i have not had nearly as much in that way of reseting for no reason and generally testing your patience

and since apple just updated the original white macbooks specs to pretty much cover the new macbooks without some of the flash i would say at 999 the white macbooks are great up to 4g of ram (albeit its not DDR3 but still)
i have been halfway considering selling my old one and getting a new one or just scraping that whole plan and getting a used 17' imac which can be found pretty cheap under 700 if you look around

http://grrrr.org/ext/vst/
http://www.halftheory.com/hetleveiker/pdvst.html

the first link is to download the actual stuff you need and the second is for a vst somebody has already made

if it weren't for the WIN only i would be all over this...

i am terribly sorry the video is such low quality but there should be more to come

including a ipod touch controlled 9 part midi synth

oops im working on a version that makes the synth interaction in the patch better ill post when im done

EDIT: same name slightly different for easy synths

http://www.pdpatchrepo.info/hurleur/audio_to_midi.zip

arif i was going to say shift+apple+3 but thats the fullscreen capture
i didn't know about the one you said fantastic man

oops must have been making the sign of Voor again

or if you are on a mac the IAC bus usually works fine for me but sometimes i have to use midi pipe
what kind of things are you going to try and do with this midinformation
my experience has always been when you take a note and do some fun number mangling you will have to restructure it as a proper midi note (note,vel,channel)
