Hi, Damion, all,
Just catching up on mail while I was away...
I believe damion romero said this around Fri, 13 Dec 2002:
Adam, The Paradiddle thing is really great (now if I could only get Pd to do anything I really want it to do) I've had some luck using it to make an app to control a pd patch. It would be cool to see it be able to receive as well as send.
I see that as being very possible down the line... the question is, how to do it *simply*? A good place to start is to describe what you want the interface to receive...
A little snag is that I don't yet know how to make an external process "listen" to Pd's own messages that are not explicitly netsend-ed.
I need to figure out more about how to use project builder before I can give much valuable feedback...
Hopefully, in this and the next couple releases, I relieve you (the developer-user) from having to know anything about ProjectBuilder (which is good, because I don't know that much about it, myself....)
It would be ideal if projectbuilder could somehow make an app that could run pd inside itself, without having to launch pd itself and could stand alone...
That would be nice. I've been thinking about how that sort of thing could happen, and I need to figure out more about making a library out of 98% percent of Pd's code. A Pd.framework working as a generalised synthesis framework? Hmmm...
But in the meantime, Paradiddle 0.2 will have the capability of auto- connecting with a Pd process, and 0.3 will (hopefully) launch Pd by itself. I can't plan any longer-term... :)
Thanks for the feedback, adam
