i'd like to open patches or dynamically create abstractions during a performance without having dropouts. that's why i'm trying to build a system that slowly loads a patch.
instead [; pd open patch-name.pd path( or [; pd-subpatchname obj 10 10 abstraction-name args( it reads the patch with [textfile] and creates the objects slowly line by line.
thomas grill's dyn~ external is supposed to load objects similarly (actually, i'm not up to date, if he only had the idea, or if he actually implemented this ...
but delayed object creation does only handle the first bottleneck. when more complicated dsp patches are constructed this way, the dsp chain needs to be rebuild whenever the dsp graph is changed, which causes audio dropouts if your patch has a certain complexity... so this solution is not really scalable ...
cheers ... tim
