I think beginners like segmented patch cords. Taking a few
minutes to make a patch “pretty” gives them a breather from the “difficult”
programming experience and it is something everyone can be good at.
I LOVE the curved patch cords! I think the interface should
be part of the artwork. That is why I would still support the making of an
OPENGL interface for PD. People like to look over your shoulder when you are
giving a performance, why not give them something to look at.
