New version with resonator patch

Here it is again.

PD OSC router

Here you go.

Performance 2

I'm looking for somebody to work with for the 2nd performance. I
thought the projects presented with the vocoder were interesting so I wanted to create a pd patch that could act as a vocoder in real time with a guitar or keyboard with additional effects that I have yet to come up with. I also play a lot of bass and violin so I could help out with anyone who would want to work with those instruments. I eventually want to work on modulating tones, applying effects, and mapping these things to controls on an electric guitar i.e. pickups, knobs etc while utilizing a pd patch obviously. Thanks to anyone who responds.

Documentation for [expr]

Following up on the "expr" expression object, you can find documentation here.

General docs for PD are here and there are several other resources here.

PD patch sound result

Several of you have asked for an example audio result for the delay patch, just to hear what it is "supposed" to sound like. Your results may vary depending on your feedback percentage and delay time, etc. But roughly, "just for reference, this is what your PD patch should sound like" (hear attached mp3).

Pd Version Madness

Welcome to the many versions of Pd. As discussed today in class there is the basic Pd package (called Vanilla) available at puredata.info, which is up to version 0.41.2, and then there is the extended package which has all kinds of cool extras and is up to version 0.39.3 , also available there.

For compatibility with the latest version of JackOSX on Intel Macs we have our own build (thanks to Nick Knouf) available here, of version 0.40.3-extended, which hopefully will also run on 10.5; let us know. Experimental builds of 0.4x-extended for PowerPC, Windows, and various Linux distributions can be found here.

One note, if you have a version of 0.39-extended already and you try one of these 0.4x-extended versions, you may have trouble getting the externals to load. Let me know, I can show you how to fix it, but it's too complicated to type out here.

Reserve Studio Time

Hey everyone,

I seem to be unable to reserve a studio time. My password is messed up. At this point this is the only way i can reserve time. It looks like studio b is open from 8-10 pm on monday. Just so it is in writing, I am claiming that time.

Thanks,

Avi

Scrambled Hacks

Hey Everyone,

I did some more searching online and I was able to find the youtube video of the cool music database project.

Enjoy

Music 659 Students

Your reading assignment is now online as are links to the audio I mentioned today.  You can find it on the course page.

Also, a few details from today.  The Turkish composer I mentioned who was active with Davidovsky and others at the Columbia-Princeton studios was Bülent Arel (I said merely "B-A").  He is perhaps best known for having worked with Varèse on Deserts.  It is worth noting other composers who were active at Columbia-Princeton during the 60's and 70's; this is not a complete compilation by any means but shows how central these studios were for early electronic music.

Jon Appleton, Charles Dodge, Edgard Varèse, Vladamir Ussachevsky, Otto Luening, Milton Babbitt, Wendy Carlos, Harvey  Sollberger, Charles Wuorinen, Bülent Arel, Mario Davidovsky, Luciano  Berio, and Jacob Druckman

I also mentioned the first concert at the Center, one in particular with Davidovsky's first piece (it was his first study, not the third as I incorrectly said).

Ussachevsky’s Creation-Prologue
Arel’s Stereo Electronic Music No. 1
Halim  El-Dabh’s Leila and the Poet
Milton Babbitt’s Composition for Synthesizer
Mario Davidovsky’s  Electronic Study # 1
Otto Luening’s Gargoyles for Violin Solo and Synthesized Sound
Charles  Wuorinen’s Symphonia Sacra

A more thorough overview of the Center's development and details of what equipment and means were available during this time can be found here:
