CataRT FAQ

2012-12-31T17:41:52Z

Diemo: [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT]

This is the collaborative FAQ for [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] application and modules for real-time [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/Corpus_Based_Synthesis corpus-based concatenative synthesis]. [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] is documented in detail on the [http://imtr.ircam.fr IMTR team web site].

You can contribute with questions, answers, and examples, but please notify the community on the [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT#Mailing_List concat mailing list].

== General Questions ==

=== Q: Where can I get information about [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT]? ===
'''A:''' There are a number of tutorials and help patches within the distribution, and [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT#Documentation the CataRT page] lists a number of documents and articles with in-depth info about [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT]

=== Q: Why can't I post to the [http://listes.ircam.fr/wws/info/concat concat mailing list] from my other e-mail accounts? ===
'''A:''' See [[Message_distribution_:_Authorization_denied]].

== Operational Questions ==

=== Q: Help! [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] doesn't work, I'm getting error messages ''mnm.mahalanobis: operands don't match'' ===
'''A:''' Don't be so easily frightened! Be bold and go ahead! This message just means that there is no data loaded.

=== Q: How many dimensions can one use to select a grain? ===
'''A:''' Any number of descriptors can be used, see the [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT_Internals_Documentation CataRT internal documentation] on http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT.

=== Q: How do I control the target position for selection by an external controller? ===
'''A:''' There are two ways, either via the lcd in 2D using the <code>setpos</code> message with coordinates between 0 and 1 (as in the MIDI-control subpatch), or via <code>catart.select</code> in nD, but you need to map to descriptor values, as explained in the [http://imtr.ircam.fr/imtr/CataRT_Internals_Documentation CataRT internal documentation].

=== Q: What is the difference between catart.select and catart.select.kdtree? ===
Functionally they appear to be identical. Not even a lot of obvious difference in the code from a quick glance. Can anyone fill me in on why one would use one rather than another?

'''A:''' Yes, they're functionally exchangeable. catart.select.kdtree is faster (using mnm.knn instead of mnm.mahalanobis for distance calculation) but doesn't allow for live corpus input (yet), since you have to rebuild the index.

=== Q: I can no longer navigate the sounds with the mouse. ===
The sounds are certainly there. They play back when I increase the radius size
to include the whole LCD and they will change configuration using the display
preset messages. What am I doing wrong?

'''A:''' Check first if [http://imtr.ircam.fr/imtr/CataRT_Documentation#Playing freeze] is active (checkbox bottom right).

=== Q: Relocating files, speeding up loading of many small sound files ===
I'm changing computers and many of my Catart
patches use thousands of audio files, going through the sf.tex files changing
the adresses by hand as I have in the past for smaller projects would take a
month...

How can I do this in a more efficient manner?

'''A:''' That's what the reexport message to catart.data is for:
it writes corpus files back to where they were imported from, thereby replacing the sound file paths with the actually found absolute paths, thus speeding up loading the next time.

I.e. first import each corpus and make sure the sound files are in Max's search path, that will just take longer for many files, then reexport.

== Installation Questions ==

=== Q: What do I need to do to install catart-x.y.z.zip? ===

[http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] is distributed in source form as a collection of patches for Max/MSP in a zip file.

To install the source distribution:

# Unzip <tt>cataRT-x.y.z.zip</tt> anywhere on your harddisk.
# Add the unzipped directory <tt>cataRT-x.y.z</tt> to the Max/MSP search path, using ''File Preferences...'' in the ''Options'' menu.
# Start the main patcher <tt>cataRT-x.y.z.maxpat</tt>.

The source distribution as a collection of patches (downloadable from http://imtr.ircam.fr) runs under Max/MSP 5.1 on Mac or Windows, with FTM version 2.5 or higher installed from http://ftm.ircam.fr.

=== Q: When is [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] going to be available on Max 5? ===
'''A:''' Updated March 2009: '''CataRT does work on Max5!!!''' Thanks to the tremendous work of Norbert and Riccardo, the [[Download#Experimental Versions | FTM version 2.5 alpha 5]] is out, that makes CataRT run fully functional under Max5! There might be a few error messages on startup that can be ignored.

=== Q: Do you have plans to make it available on Pd? ===
'''A:''' For PD, it would be a lot of work to translate the [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] application, even though CataRT's basis of [[Main|FTM&Co.]] ''does'' work on PD. If you're up for it, I'd give you a hand...

=== Q: How do I make [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] work without a full version of Max (i.e. as standalone or with Max Runtime) ===
'''A1:''' To build a standalone application, follow the steps for building standalones with FTM: [[How do I create Max standalones (collectives/applications) using FTM?]]

'''A2:''' Making [http://imtr.ircam.fr/index.php/CataRT CataRT] work with Max Runtime by Aaron Einbond:
* Download Max5 without authorizing it
* Make a single folder containing concert patch, the cataRT-1.x.y folder, the FTM.2.5.0.BETA.z-Max5 folder, and all other necessary abstractions, externals, etc.
* put the folder in the Max5 application folder, on the same level as MaxMSP Runtime
* open the concert patch with Runtime

How to install FTM for Max6 on Mac?

2012-08-01T10:37:33Z

Diemo: hans caveat

'''Q:''' How to install FTM for Max6 on Mac?

'''A:''' You have just to change the install destination when the installer ask you. The default is still Max5.

'''CAVEAT:''' If you maintain a Max 5 + Max 6 install: ''First'' install for Max 6, ''then'' for Max 5, becaus the "remove old files" script will remove automatically from your Max 5 install, even if you set to install in Max 6, so it will break any install in Max 5 done before..

How to install FTM for Max6 on Windows?

2012-03-16T10:38:16Z

Diemo:

'''Q:''' How to install FTM for Max6 on Windows?

'''A:''' The current windows installer (2.5.0-beta21) is an old installer conceived for Max5 and never tested on Max6, but normally the manual installation should be simple:

* add the ftm-and-co folder into your MaxPath (for exemple copy it into ''Max6/Cycling '74'' folder)
* copy ftmlib.dll, libsndfile-1.dll and pthreadVC2.dll into ''Max6/support'' folder

The rest is optional, but you can copy:
* FTMExtras folder inside Max6/patches/extras
* ftmkeycomands.txt and ftmobjectlist.txt into Max6/cycling74/init
* ftm.palette.json, ftm.mess.svb, ftm.editor.svg, ftm.vecdisplay, and ftm.object.svg into Max6/cycling74/object-palettes

The javascript ftm support doesn't work in Max6.

If at this point you still can't start ftm, probably you need to install the ''Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package''.
You can download it from here:

Max objects having problems with FTM data objects

2011-10-26T13:43:33Z

Diemo:

There are a number of Max objects that sometimes don't respond well to atoms containing FTM data objects such as fmat, dict, scoob, etc.

The list of Max objects known so far is:

; print : the Max print object doesn't know how to print the content of ftm data objects. Use ftm.print instead.

; route : single ftm object is not routed (see [[Media:Route_ftm.pat]])
:: '''Workaround''': protect the ftm object with a "list" prefix like this:
:: ''<atom to be routed against> "list" <ftm object> <anything else>...''

; unpack : can't pass ftm objects

; append / prepend : be careful with single ftm atoms

; zl slice : sometimes the ftm object goes missing (see [[Media:Zl_slice_ftm_crash.pat]])

SDK

2011-08-24T17:07:46Z

Diemo: max sdk

Here is the first version of an FTM external SDK for Max 4.6 on Mac OS X:

* [http://recherche.ircam.fr/equipes/temps-reel/distrib/FTMEXT-SDK-230-OSX.zip FTMEXT SDK 2.3.0 for Max/MSP 4.6 on Mac OS X]

For now, this package contains a couple of examples for the Max/MSP developer workshop on Sunday 11/11 2007 at IRCAM.

Here is the latest version of an FTM external SDK for Max 5 on Mac OS X:

* [http://listes.ircam.fr/wws/arc/ftm/2011-04/msg00024/FTM-SDK-2.5.0-BETA-20.zip FTM-SDK-2.5.0-BETA-20]

== Note ==

You need to download also the Max5 development SDK, and enter its location in the build projects in the FTM external SDK as variable '''C74_SUPPORT_DIR'''.

By default, the project looks for the Max SDK in /Applications/Max5/c74support.
