Okey. But I'm not sure its a good idea. Snd objects are not deterministic. If you try to write an object in a different way (external/subpatch/pyext/etc.) that is supposed to to the same, it will 99% for sure behave slightly different.
The reason is that data-handling in the snd external are threaded and is run asynchronus to pd, and that all the dsp-handling is performed at once (once per cycle) for all snd objects, because of performance reasons. (dsp using the snd external is extremely efficient)
I'm afraid hiding these facts from the user can create confusing situations...
Regarding the system path settings, aren't they available somewhere anyway?
And whats a "newly developing namespace"?

This would allow you to write bonafide Pd objects in snd. What language they are written in would be transparent to the user. They would behave just like objects. They could be bundled into libraries, they would work with the system path settings, they would work in the newly developing namespace, they could have their own help patches, etc. etc.

Hmm, I don't see the point. Having those extra four letters ("snd ") shows that it is an snd object, and not an external or a patch. Whats the point of hiding that information?

It would be great if this was set up to use Pd's new generic loader functionality. Then you could write Pd objects directly in Guile/snd without needing the [snd] object. It looks like you are most of the way there.
There is currently a Common Language Runtime (C#, etc) API in the works that is being ported to the new loader also.
Basically, you just write a little loader program that tells Pd how to load an object that is written in snd.

Hi, this mail is to inform that Bill Schottstaedt just put up documentation for the snd pd external in the snd-manual: http://ccrma.stanford.edu/software/snd/snd/grfsnd.html#sndwithpd The documentation also also contains a screen-shot of a pretty neat stochastic pd patch made by Bill Sack, which use the snd external. If you know (and like) lisp, pd and snd, you should check this out... _______________________________________________ PD-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
