That feels like many emails rolled into one! :)
Definitely sounds like an interesting idea, but I don't quite follow
it all, perhaps you can make a sketch of how it would work.

Hey Hans,

Laura reckoned my album was commercial. She's right, and I'd like
to do more arty projects as well as my Kraftwerk-loving techno- life :-D www.pyramidtransmissions.com (lone shark)But I have other plans afoot, namely synthcore~. It would be really
great if we could organize an API for pd instruments, kind of like
the VST api in terms of input-output topology but made of patches
in PD. I'd love to know your thoughts on the issue since I intend
to code it. It needs to be flexible enough to contain a variety of
different parameter lists and modes, but also conform to a
specified system so that polyphony and multichannel output can be
handled by an external object (such as nqpoly4, but I think we
should write our own object for this one) ;-)
I think a [message value isitcontinuous( model is good, and a
[event $1( message could be a note, or a continuous controller
change. Mapping the parameters could be organized so that there is
a set parameter list (e.g. amplitude envelope) and then a synth- definable list (e.g. osc modulation of the filter - in cents).
also, an external patching system using an SQL database (mogo - I
want your sqlite object for linux) based around the metastudio
patching system, but a bit more standardised - i.e. you can load
patches for one synth, and any parameter lists that match with the
present synth's parameter list should be implemented (e.g. filter
envelope and paramters, amplitude envelope, global modulation index
etc.)Anyone want to work with me on this? It needs to be done!
