Virtools

[Olivie Inoue]

Myname is Ben Cole and I just downloaded puredata to use with a University project. I have viewed some beginner tutorials and the documentation, so I am beginning to understand how it works, but I still have some nooby questions.

Basically, I need to use puredata to analyze sound input from a microphone, and then send out the data over a port using the OSC protocol which the main program I am using, Virtools, can read. In PD, I need to analyze the best "beat per minute", frequency, and volume of the incoming audio - along with anything else I can figure out how to do.

As far as sending the data out as OSC, do I simply need to make an object [dumpOSC xxxx] (x's being the UDP port number) that has a variable feeding into it? I assume there is a bit more to it than that, but from what I understand I will be sending out a different piece of OSC data over a different port for each variable I will be using in virtools (IE - freq, bbm, amplitude). So far this link is all I really have relating to PD and OSC ( =45).
