Thank you, Frank.

However - I installed the latest 0.40 autobuild build this afternoon.

And got exactly the same error message about the libvos3gcc3.so library not being found, despite the link being present in the appropriate directory.

any further thoughts?

again, my thanks,
Ruth

Hallo,

(I changed the subject to something more meaningful.)

first: I wouldn't bother at all with such an ancient version of Pd
anymore. We're (almost) at 0.41 in regular Pd now, 0.38 is obsolete,
You should try to install at least version 0.39, or even one of the
0.40 autobuilds (they work fine on Linux).

Just to be clear and follow up, some of this was caused because I was
not only missing randomF, but also tripleRand (replacing with
abstractions in my extra directory was easiest solution.) That's
cleared up, and as a whole my monster Vj patch does run. (And the font
issue isn't a big deal, in fact arial never worked "out of the box"
anyway you had to copy the font over somewhere).

The [pix_freeframe] problem, however, seems to be the only real
remaining problem. Note that these worked with my previous pd+Gem
combo. The only thing that has changed is my version of PD. But the
plugins just won't load now. I'm using the identical patch except for
replaced objects. So would I want to replace this Gem with some other
one, wait for a new pd-extended, or what? Adding those plugins
certainly gives Gem a nice extra range of pix manipulation abilities,
though not essential to my work.

Electronic music and DSP are intersecting, I think Pd is unique
in its potential to teach the greatest amount in a single environment.
Before Pd you could only cover such a wide range of principles 
with a pile of different tools.
 
How to break up units into music processing, composition, synthesis,
sequencing? Here's my unit outlines...

http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/workshops/units-list.html


 
> What are the pros and cons for using it to teach DSP-theory?

Pros: DSP has a very wide applications field, with Pd it's 
easy to demonstrate/model lots of things, not just sound, but possibly
radar, process control, machine listening, without expensive DSP 
development boards. If I had more time and resources I would include
some physical/electronics and interfacing stuff, because that is useful
for real time performance and instrument designers imo.

With GUI canvas concept it is possible to build active teaching tools 
with Pd itself. Active lecture slides that are patches and contain links
to other patches makes Pd a very powerful demonstration device for CBT.

It's free open source software, perfect for teaching, now students only
need knowledge and motivation, not expensive licenses to get education. 

Cons, hmm, as Tom said, the fine grain sample/block level could be
better somehow. There's a river to cross when moving between teaching
about delays and filters. And for Pd to be a mature as a development tool
as well as for teaching it needs to output code that can be compiled
into new externals or used in separate applications. I believe these two 
things are related. It's like Pd is missing a lowest level where you can
basically write simplified code into objects and compile them.

ya, i noticed that most problems have been solved when reading your
other mail after sending my reply....

fonts are searched using the pd-paths (as, to my knowledge, is
documented in the help-files...); so you can just add "-path
C:/windoze/fonts" (or whatever) to give you direct access to all
installed truetype-fonts)

yes, that's the point of having a freeframe-loader available....

anyhow, could you try replacing the current Gem.dll with an older one
(where you know that it worked) and report back?
make sure you do have backups though...

hello

with a P4 2.ghz and very important, a graphic card with its own memory 
(with restricted drivers, opengl support, here nv?d?a ) under ubuntu can 
i buffer (with pix_buffer) more than 8 videos all at 16 seconds length 
but this are not videos from a harddisk, but directly from one webcam 
--> cpu uses less than 10%...so the graphiccard does here his job very well.
but at this point pd has nothing to handle with the harddisk.

i dont have experiences reading non-live videos (from harddisk) and Gem.

When i want to render the gemwindow to harddisk with pix_record and 
pix_snap i have a cpu-load of 100%, tested with all available codecs.. 
sometimes pd crashes, sometimes i got corrupt movie-files, few times i 
got playable movies. i got not a stable solution now for rendering.

One thing that I always forget to ask students to bring besides
laptop, USB-sticks etc. but that is out absolutely crucial and is
still often missing: They have to bring a *mouse*. Patching Pd with
the touchpad is a major pain.

Yes, please describe the physical configuration of the 5 sensors
Marko. I am working on a similar project using 6 sensors, but we have
not done much testing in our proper configuration yet.

My guess is that since all the sensors are hard wired with a specific
ping frequency, they will detect each other's pings when placed in
close proximity.

hi, andy

really interesting site:

http://www.obiwannabe.co.uk/html/compositions/compositions.html

only bad thing is that most of your music-example patches for download require 
abstractions that are not included. that's sad, because i really liked the pokesdown-patch 
(the only one that works)

btw: padawan vst-instruments are also great !

hi list,
is there a possibility for binwise spectral delay with fft? i tried to write the analysis in buffers and read it time-variably out before re-synthesizing, but that didn't work (in fact buffer writing / reading the analysis did not work at all).
