Dear list.
I've put on http://iem.kug.ac.at/pdwiki/ a new release of the documention dealling with pd internal messages. you can direct download from here : http://iem.kug.ac.at/pdwiki/stuff/pd-msg_04.tar.gz
Here a brief resume :
- Thoses msg are sent directly to pd (pd selector) or to a loaded patch
(pd-patch.pd selector).
all thoses msg has to be finnished by a ";" you can test them using : in the file menu : message pdsend the tclsend2pd in the 4.msg_from_tcl folder.
Thoses message allows you (examples): To control pd without the gui : Take benefit of the no-gui option open a patch via socket... (tcl, python, sh, c++,...) modify or create new patch Create patch that will create some other Deals with massive polyphonie (100 osc~ or more...) load patchs from an other construct generative patch Create new gui etc...
