I'd be interested in how the live performers here handle this. What do you do when you have to play for several hours? Do you just use one large patch with loads of abstractions that get [switch]ed on and off?
In the past, I have had to play for 20 minutes. Mind you this was with 2 keyboards and a MIDI controller. Pd was just the core of the performance, controlling sound volume, accompanyment playback, and also a click track for others that I was playing with. Unfortunately I don't have the patch any more as stated earlier, due to a hard disk crash, but from memory, I used the pgrmin object from one of my controllers to adjust various elements of the MIDI routing somehow.
I may be trying to do the same thing soon, so if anybody is interested, I will post the patch.
