Hi, i've made a mixer, which loads it's busses dynamically. It's an early version, but maybe it's helpful for you or someone else. http://www.swiezinski.de/pd/patches/console_0_1_0.zip

I've been working with some very modular projects and it would be nice if one could dynamically load an abstraction. (I might have one generated from a tcl script for example) perhaps the kind of code that would allow a list of patches would allow dynamic loading?
Right now I have patches called "root" which have the interface for general purpose and I use multiple abstractions which are all compatible with the general interface.
For example you could have an abstraction which contains a gem object chain. If you wanted you could have multiple objects loaded dynamically as different instances of the same object (but with different parameters)
Any chance for this kind of thing in the future?
Thanks Ben

Welcome aboard, Dave.
Third: MY QUESTION:
In Max, with support from OMS, there are objects available which list
MIDI
programs/patch names. In this way, "pgmout" objects can be wired to dropdown menus which display MIDI instrument lists (128 General MIDI instruments for example).
Is there such an object in PD (or Motex, Gem, or other libraries)
which
provides this functionality?
I'm using Windows XP. So i understand that the "MIDI management"
provided
by the OS will be vastly different in Linux, and different again in
Unix,
etc. HOWEVER, I'd really like to know if anybody has written an
external
for use in the Windows system to create lists,arrays,or dropdown menus
which
display all available MIDI programs/patches (General MIDI or
otherwise).
I don't know of any PD object that works like a dropdown menu, but if
you find
one, I'd like to hear of it as well. What seems to come closest GUI-wise
might
be the "playlist" by Yves, available at http://ydegoyon.free.fr, but it
would
require some hacking to get it to work as a programm selector (making
playlist
more general would be nice anyways) and I don't know if "joge ."
windowsified
;) it already otherwise it's linux only.
Second I'm not sure how one can automatically read the Midi-Progam
names, if
they are not GM or GS or XG or some other standard. Is this possible at
all?
I'm not that familiar with midi, but I always thought than GM et al. are
just
a convention and are not communicated by the hardware itself.
But I may be wrong.
