Re: [PD] sending midi notes as a string

I'm playing around with TCL/Wish connected via tcp socket to PD. Is it possible to send a command that will allow PD to play I'de like to use TCL to generate midi music and have PD play it

the "tot" extra has some functionality in regards to printing the output of tcl, if you want a more direct approach you could roll own external, a very simple one, with someting like notemaker_new(.... char buf[50]; sprintf(buf, "d%x", (int)x); x->x_s = gensym(buf); pd_bind(&x->x_obj.ob_pd, x->x_s); notemaker_playnote(... outlet_symbol(x->x_obj.ob_outlet, s);

--once its 'bound', you can then do from tcl:

pd "x[list ${self}] playnote [ pdtk_enquote $notetoplay ]"

to send stuff to its outlet...theres simlar techniques for floats, lists etc but i'm pasting...
