sound features 0.0.0.1

hi guys,So I’ve got just a basic, basic 4-value osc system sending microphonelevels to the group. I plan on adding stuff through this week, butthis is just to get started. The state of cables and mics was indisorder from a lot of migration to/from Frankenstein and then my timeoff, so this took some time to reorganize. There’s a boundary micplaced on the white table — please take to not damage / spill coffee /spill soup on it :)It’s running in Runtime so that hopefully, I can continue developingwhile it’s running and it’s protected from crashes.You may find the values aren’t sensitive enough with the noisy noisefloor (lots of ambient noise, fishtank, etc.), so I will try soon tryto filter some of that stuff out somehow and work on sending slower,more meaningful data. I’m planning to optimize and improvemeteor-shower this week, and so some of its system params and soundlevels I can also send out.I’m sending everything out port 8001. “env-follow” is essentially asignal level between 0. and 1.:/ozone/sound/features/mic.foyer/env-follow f/ozone/sound/features/mic.room-centre/env-follow f/ozone/sound/features/mic.common/env-follow f/ozone/sound/features/mic.table/env-follow fat about 100Hz. There’s no screen mic yet, there seems to be somethingwrong with Navid’s contact mic up there.For now, I’m sending all the data to the ozone network’s broadcast IP,10.0.0.255. So, if you have your local Ozone network config set with arouter of 10.0.0.1 or 10.0.0.239 (the latter being the Netgearswitch), you should automatically be receiving the data, just bindudpreceive to 8001.I plan on integrating Michael/Harry’s OSC serviceregistration/listener system once someone can give me a 5-minutehands-on.. unless it and its helpfile are already in svn?If you’re not getting anything and you notice the scrollingmultisliders not doing anything, try restarting dsp with the purplebutton. If the broadcast isn’t working for you, you can also put inyour IP if you don’t mind editing the patch.pps. Max5 SDK came out on Friday! now people have a chance to porttheir GUI-based objects which broke with Max5’s new interface.Tim

scenario 4-state logic

Now that we’re installed in the TML.  Maybe we can think about working with the natural passage of sunlight, and night light.  After implementing the neo-Remedios topology, maybe we can design states that more subtly counter or amplify the natural state of the TML’s room in its day-night cycle.                 On 29-Jul-08, at 7:23 AM, x w wrote:

Hi, I’ll drop in today between 4 and 5 to check in and see what’s up and running or runnable.I’ll try to guinea pig the instructions that Tim left behind.The milestone is to make a 4-state event (adapted from Remedios) work palpably in sound, video, lighting control.We could morph between:      

  •  (0) “night” state (show plant timelapse videos on the monitors as screensavers, with their cyclic movement driving sound);
  • (1) meteor shower with multi-voice stars, when people are walking under the ceiling camera (the stars should return to initial constellation whose positions are grabbed from highlights in a fixed or periodic sampled frame);
  • (2) Interstitial membrane with contact mics when people touch the fastfold;
  • (3) bringing up lights around (near) the oval table when the demo area is empty, and there’s activity near the table (as measured by mic or camera).
