maarten,
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. Any OSC developers here-abouts?
About writing an external PD object: the processing core of tapiir is really small, and it would be a piece of cake to make an external PD object out of it. But I suppose that you are especially interested in keeping the tapiir GUI, right?
Not necessarily. What I hope is to be able to automate the large number of controls in Tapiir, or to be able to change presets [.mdt files] very quickly during performance. No GUI is really required for this if I figure out the right control numbers or make my own presets. In such a case, a PD object would be quite fine ;-)
best, D.

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!).

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.

surely many of the powerful linux apps already work under osx Pd,Csound,RTCmix,snd,Loris,amber,stk, PVC, xmms,PvNation,PowerPV all work quite well.
what else do you need :-)

That should be probably Maarten, he wrote the quote below...

it is a little more work but definitely worth it (for the benefit of time- stamped messages alone) there really isn't too much to it check:
http://www.cnmat.berkeley.edu/OpenSoundControl/
there is a small library to download that makes implementig osc quite easy.
