Then I would recommend [sssad]. It's the most simple of them all and doesn't need any externals. (Note that it's missing from pd-extended's autobuilds currently for reasons I don't understand.)
Ok, thanks for all the advice, I'll look at sssad, then.
First problem: It seems it's there, but broken (is it my that's broken?):
/usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/sssad.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/sssad-help.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/_sssad /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/_sssad/singleton-help.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/_sssad/sssad-persistence.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/_sssad/singleton.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/_sssad/list_argument.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/sssad-example.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/sssad-meta.pd /usr/lib/pd/extra/sssad/sssliders.pd
but creating a single [sssad] object gives:
libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path ... ... libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path libdir_loader: added 'sssad' to the canvas-local objectclass path error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached sssad ... couldn't create
However google suggested that I should create [sssad/sssad], and that worked. Unfortunately right-clicking->help totally freezes up my system (something that never happens). What's up with that? Is that just a single bug (so "don't click here") or a symptom of something bad?
Should I try to rescue what's there (and if so, what to do) or abandon it and install just sssad anew (and if so how/from where).
Additional question: I never saw the slash in objects (like in [sssad/ssad]) before, it that some kind of namespace thing? Where can I read more on that, including pros/cons and recommended ways/conventions?
