Hi
a very newb-ish question regarding the built in functionality of PD and Gem with regards to Max/Jitter.
Im trying to port some of my jitter patches to Gem, and found myself asking:
is there an object in PD (or an external), that is the equivalent of matrix?
is there a good list of the major externals, and their essential aspects anywhere?
or a max->pd guide?
essentially I want to be able to make a sort of video patch bay and be able to shoot video to subpatches and route them around as needed, (ie pix_filmYUV to some abstracted router, to say, yuv_adjust etc etc. however I dont want anything hard coded/patched so to speak.
The matrixctrl/matrix is essentially what I would love to have.
id be more than happy to send my max patch out so someone can decypher what it is I mean =).
also, is there any planned native PD for OS X editor in the work? Im enjoying being able to use paradiddle for make a nice front end for my patch, but id love to have something that looks as good (well, better than), max. sorry if saying that is a faux pas, but tcl/tk isnt exactly the best on OS X.
thanks for any input.
PD really shines. Gem and PD run faster and smoother on OS X that most (if not all) similar video tools. I cant wait to see where everything goes.
