By now I'm sure you are all sick of this questions, but I'll ask
anyway. Does PD currently support Rewire? I have read back through some old
poststhe Propellerheads pretty much pick who they want to let use rewire,
mainly limited to places like Steinborg , Cakewalk , NI...also its not
particularly great, unidirectional, arbitrary channel limitations,
only supported by a few expensive commercial apps, etc..and other sites on the internet, all of them say no. However most of
these messages dated back about 2 years. So has this situation change? Also
the reason given for it not being implemented was that pd is not
commercial, however the guys over at Buzz have rewire working and they too are a
non commercial project? Also Max has rewire support and there are some "patches" out there to get Max bits working in PD has anyone achieved
this with rewire. I'm relatively new to the world or PD so perhaps I'm
overly simplifying things and being a little naive. This is an area that I
am very interested in persuing, however if its a dead end, then its a dead
end andthere are a lot of ways to achieve things that go far beyond rewire,
the shining example being JACK on linux (which pd supports, barely).
even on windows you can use pdVST, or vst~ external +
freewire/soundbus/mixbox/etc ... happy googling !
Jack an Pd+Jack work on OSX as well. [vst~] is windows only.
