I'm neither nuts, nor a consumer. I just happen to be impressed by a patch I came across a while ago, it was a TR 909 emulation and looked very professionnal. It's basically what I'm trying to do: building pd patches (like improved media players, virtual FX racks, video dispatchers...) that can be used by non-pd people, people who are used to interact with "standard" user interfaces, see?


The 909 emulation was nice, but i couldn't make it work on Linux. (not only Pd but Processing was needed too).
So, you can always control Pd from an external GUI using network messages, but you have to do it smart to keep it platform-independent.
Web-Pd is a project i'm very interested in - when it gets vanilla functionality, we'll have a chance to fabricate wonderful GUIs while staying in the browser, which means staying platform-independent (eventually browser-independent too).
