Howdy all,
I was showing a friend the new pd gui plugins and he suggested one that causes the patch wires to vibrate/wiggle based on the amount of messages being sent. How hard would it be to code such a plugin?
Yeah, it'd be kind of useless but totally fun! Are there any plugins floating around in a similar vein?
I did something like that with data structures to get an array where the y is the index and the x is the
value at that index-- basically a "Put" menu array turned 90-degrees clockwise. The scalar is in a
gop canvas with an inlet/outlet to connect between objects. When dsp is off (or all signals are zero)
it looks like a normal patch. When dsp is on, all the wires animate to show the signal going through them.
I could even turn animation on/off by clicking.
The problem is that most interesting patches don't keep the signal in the -1 1 range the entire time-- for
example, with FM synthesis either the modulation index animates all over the place, or you just scale it
(in which case x/y labels become necessary, which will clutter the patch).
I think the patch might be posted somewhere on this list.
