Hey there,

I was just wondering if there was any further information about the video that was taken for Music220's final performance.  I'm sure I'm not the only one that would like to see it.

Thanks,
John

To follow up on a non answer from lecture, here is a straight-forward introduction to TCP and UDP.

http://www.devmaster.net/wiki/UDP_vs_TCP

One of you recently pointed out that arrays have a size limitation (necessary for memory saving), so for large soundfiles, it is recommended that you read them directly from disk.  The object we looked at for this is [readsf~].  Note that you must specify the number of channels within the object, such as [readsf~ 2] for a stereo file.  Also, unlike [tabplay~] or other array/table readers, the filename must be reset before each play.  In the attached patch I am playing 2 soundfiles simultaneously, also reloading the same file automatically once it is done playing. 

Enjoy!

Following up on this afternoon, I ended up creating two patches to help Matt Rung with his loop idea.  I thought they might be useful generally, so they are attached here.  This is still using the "openpanel" method of loading opening for convenience, but there are many other ways.  I have the gamelan sample patch I mentioned today around here somewhere (my home machine).  If I can find it, I'll post it for your perusal.

UPDATE: You will find the gamelan patch attached below as well (it is a zip archive since I included the soundfiles, all from sflib).  Unpack the folder, and open "auto_trigger.pd".  Hit GO and listen to my pattern!  I think this turned out pretty well given how trivial is it.  The coolest part happens right when you open the patch, auto-loading all of the files into the arrays with a line (could also have been a counter)!!

BONUS: I included a second subfolder of samples within the gamelan folder, african percussion samples to try in place of the gamelan sounds.  Just place them in the main directory (overwriting the gamelan samples) and listen again, whah-la, new samples, new riff.

Without a password I apparently cannot get ReWire enabled in Live (StudioD), and therefore Reason refuses to chit chat with Live, and I fail totally at accomplishing what I had intended to.

Any suggestions?

Hey gang,

I am looking for anyone who owns a Creative Extigy soundcard or other Dolby DTS decoder to lend me their rig for a performance.  Please email me directly at kme32@cornell.edu if you have an Extigy to offer or other Dolby decoding hardware

When rendering a file to a .wav in Live, I wind up getting a popping noise where I'm supposed to have a drum. --- It plays fine in Live, anyone know what's going wrong in the rendering process?

A few people have have asked about assignment hand in, primarily two questions:

1. When are the assignments actually due?

All assignments are due by class time (2:55) on the day they are to be handed in.

2. How/Where should I hand in my assignment?

Hand it in on the network drive (linked on the Desktops as "music220").  You will see a folder "assignments -- > Assignment_1".  You will notice some assignments have already been handed in here.

(P.S.  Two of you placed your assignments in to the "projects" folder.  This folder is for the three larger semester projects and should not be used for these assignments.)

I'm a little confused using Abelton Live, especially with saving my files. Is there a way to save in .wav format instead of .als?

It seems there was an error in the printed syllabus regarding my office hours.  As stated online and on my door (B27 and 108), my office hours are:

Thursday 10 – 12
Fri. 11 – 1

Others are always available by appointment.  And of course, Eric is also available should you prefer or should you want additional help.
