And finally, it pains me that much of this work we're discussing has already been done by Mathieu and Chun : (! I have a dream, where DD and PD and PD-E are one.
Oh yes, we are dreaming the same dream - but DesireData isn't there in terms of usability yet. I couldn't use it for anything dsp-related actually. The only thing I was able to get out of it was just to see what Chun and Mathieu have been up to. From what I understand (admittedly, not much) they have undertaken something much more extensive than color changes, and their work is likely not easily integrated with pd's vanilla ui. I had a conversation with Miller at the pd-conv where he said he was interested in implementing some of dd's features at a point in the future.
