Just realised it sent this to Frank, but not to list. Also realized in light of discussion on automation that my last paragraph is somewhat obsolete.

I'll start doing this, and also add OSC routing to my patches. I think as you standardise the Rradical framework you'll get a bunch of common patches like [communicate $1] which everyone will want in common. Perhaps we should start a CVS repository for these? (and other rradical patches?) Also, I was thinking about persistance not just of settings, but persistance across time (e.g. the settings of your mixer at time=0 are different from those 5 seconds into yr piece). It might be nice to come up with a standard framework to build patches around with this kind of persistance in mind. It seems from your posts taht you're already devising an implementation of this. I guess we could have a standard send variable for number of ticks or something like that. Then when we build GOP sequencers they will use this standard.

watersurface

hi boys and girls, letÅ½s say i want to render a watersurface with GEM or pdp (opengl) or gridflow. and use the mouse to click onto it and produce some waves. has someone already produced similar things and can give me some hints? Are there some general algorithms for that, or do I have to calculate lightreflections of tons of small squares and rectangles... marius.

re: [PD] X-Keys USB interface

Any console input code will work, such as Pd's [key] , [keyup], and [keyname] objects. The USB version can address 128 input switches, so you can select a range of key values which don't conflict with your console keyboard. It's unclear if the driver could be addressed as a separate device , such as aux: ... -lex
