Hi,

at LAC2010 I presented a paper on "Blocked Signal/Score Processing" or BSP with Pd. It explores ways to use Pd's signal operators for more control oriented applications to allow block-processing of control stream data that are normally dealt with by message operators and shows some examples including a physical modelling system for Pd vanilla that is similar to MSD/PMPD - and that it damn fast for a vanilla solution.

Paper, slides and a video of my presentation are available at the Linux Audio Conference 2010 site:

The code for the [physigs] abstraction shown there is at github: http://github.com/footils/physigs

Comments welcome.
