Talk to Me - Vocalized hot corners in pure data

March 10, 2012

This program embodies the spirit of "you can do anything in pd" philosophy. I've created a patch that uses the mouse locations to give the user feedback.

The story behind it is very simple. I have hot corners on my mac. Whenever the cursor is on the right upper corner of the screen all of the open windows get populated, right bottom corner triggers the desktop and left upper corner locks the screen black. Whenever someone else is on my computer showing me something, they get attacked by these hot corners and in that split second they don't know what to do. So What's better than have a vocal feedback each time these corners gets triggered.

I had so much fun patching and got great feedback on it at the class presentation. Apparently I have a soothing voice - as many said in the class.

There are still many areas of the program that needs tweaking but it's a good start.

Million HMMMs - A sequencer made of hmms in Pure Data

March 10, 2012

For the sequencer assignment I wanted to use my own voice. I recorded 7 different ways of saying hmm - to say yes, to say no, to say that you are listening, to say that you are not happy.... All of those recordings came together in a sequencer using pure data.

First PD Patch of the Year

March 4, 2012

I tried to create a sound patch that would vary according to the movement of the mouse. The tempo of the noise also attached to the mouse so the whole sound piece reacts to your mouse movement on the page.

The next step would be to find sound samples that would relax the user while surfing on the internet. I imagine the sound to get more and more relaxing when there are more movements of the mouse rather than the position of the mouse.

Or another idea would be to map different areas of the screen according to the window of a program that is used at the time to generate sound reminders. Such as if you didn't click on one of the window it would start to tell you that it is still down there waiting for you :)
