I would also second Fernando's encouragement to use OSC since that way more inter-app communication will be possible, something that we really need amidst all these diverse software packages that unfortunately often offer very little interoperability.

Quoting Maarten De Boer mdeboer@iua.upf.es:
I think espcially OSC would be *very* interesting for Tapiir, considering how easy it may become to use Linux sound apps under
Mac
OS
X in the future.
I am not familiar with OSC. netsend might be easier. What kind of
input
does it take?
Netsend and netreceive are paired objects in PD, usually used for
connecting
remote machines, and capable of transporting TCP or UDP messages.
Netsend takes
an message of "connect hostname portnumber", which I suppose could
be
made a
localhost and a port in Tapiir.
I still think it would be worthwhile to use OSC, as it is a
wider-used
format,
allowing communications with many more apps than PD. But it could
[not
sure
here] be a bit more work.
It would be great if the solution is not specific to Pd (nothing
against
a Pd solution as well, of course). I can think of other programs that could benefit from "remote control" of presets (hint: freqtweak!).
