PureData: iemguts for darwin

Tedb0t — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:24:46 +0000

Here’s a binary of the iemguts externals for Puredata built for x86 Darwin. For future reference, all you have to do to build this from source is “make pd_darwin”. To use it, unpack the zip to ~/Library/Pd/iemguts. You can then start or restart Pd and get the objects like [iemguts/canvasconnections].

PuréeData: Realtime Collaborative Patching

Tedb0t — Sat, 31 Jul 2010 02:19:59 +0000

PuréeData is a browser-based PureData interface for a remote, central server that allows live, collaborative patching for anyone, anywhere.

Using Pd’s internal messaging system and an accompanying python script, PureéData allows anyone with a browser to modify a public, shared patch running on a server and listen to the results live over an OGG audio stream.

The project is currently in development and is freely available on GitHub. PureéData is in part adapted from code by Jeraman.

Phrygian Étude for Distributed Version Control

Tedb0t — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 23:02:42 +0000

The Phrygian Étude is a “chain letter” musical experiment in PureData that is composed of YOUR commits! So fork the Étude, modify the patch (following certain rules), and push it back to us. When the time is ripe, we will then play back each stage of the composition—commit by commit—as a live performance!

EggBeater!

Tedb0t — Tue, 28 Apr 2009 03:51:11 +0000

EggBeater uses the intuitive power of rhythm to let anyone control the playback of music. Shaking this small, wireless device in regular patterns can automatically adjust the tempo and timing of loops. Just start playing the EggBeater just as you would a traditional shaker, and listen as the song slows down as you slow down, or speed up as you do!

EggBeater uses an accelerometer coupled with an XBee radio to send your movements to PureData, where they detect your downbeats and rhythmic tempo. The software can then control playback within PureData or send OSC or MIDI messages to other platforms.

Puredata Artificial Neural Network external recompiled for x86 Darwin

Tedb0t — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 03:29:54 +0000

So the other week I had downloaded Davide Morelli’s ANN external for Puredata and discovered that the binary didn’t work, which I’m guessing was compiled for PowerPC.

Today, with Hans‘ help, I successfully recompiled it for Intel macs. Enjoy!

The Engine Rooms of the Airship Himmel

Tedb0t — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 20:13:20 +0000

I created this PureData patch for our Dataflow Programming sound design homework assignment: The dark and dangerous Engine Rooms of Her Majesty’s Airship “Himmel!”

It uses a modified bubble pattern controller from the Obiwannabe bubble tutorial. And all together it sounds like this:

Download the patch and pattern controller. Enjoy!
