Hey Filippo - thanks for the link! is there any kind of estimate as to when Kalimba will be ready for at least a preliminary Github release? i'm quite interested in it as you know, but especially on the audio side rather than just the music side. are we talking weeks or months?

Hi list,

here's a new blog post from our programmer, talking about libpd and Unity- I thought this could be an interesting read for some of you :) !

thanks peter! - this is helpful. it looks like sebastien has been doing something with his version of WebPD fairly recently so i'll shoot him an email to see where things are at with this.

@ everyone else,

with regard to making things work on Unity Free, the best approach i believe would be to use the GetData and SetData functions. anything involving a filter function in Unity or Plugins in other languages other that C# will not work unless you have a license for Unity Pro. it's definitely good to hear about Patrick's progress, however. I think one step to testing on Unity Free would be to take the DLL plugin out of the Plugins folder and see if it will work.

i'll contribute what i can on the wiki. hope this can really come together!

Hi Scott,
About dynamic patching with libpd, the topic came up at Pd Everywhere:
createdigitalnoise.com/discussion/867/webpd-reloaded

The upshot is that dynamic patching is done with Pd messages, and the
message passing mechanism of libpd supports this. There has been talk
of creating a dynamic patching library on top of libpd, but I don't
know the current state of this idea.
Cheers,
