Dear list,
I had several questions to put:
- which is more expensive to the cpu to connect the main patch to a
subpatch, the send/receive pair or a the cable/inlet?
- related to the first, is there any place where is mentioned the expense of
each object, and a comparation between objects?
The simplest way is to select menu "Help"->"Load Meter" to test the cpu usage. But it's overall usage of the current open patch.
- one thing I noted (in windows), only the horizontal position of the
objects interferes in their order of processing (from l to r). Does in linux the vertical position counts as well? (like in max)
PD, and max for that matter, computes in the right-to-left order. But there's sometimes some quirk with the objects creation order especially in the audio domain (the [~] objects).
- one command that I couldn't find (that exists in max) is the counter. Then
I made one of my own, which I include here (although a bit basic, I think it works). I hope it might be useful for someone. Does anybody know if there is a public library, where people can add and download utilities (like this) or other more "serious" stuff?
