hi everyone!
thanks to the excellent pd documentation out there and lots of hand holding by friendly pd gurus on this list and elsewhere, here's my humble take at creating a theatre cue player with pd that does what i need... all the heavy lifting is done by august black's excellent readanysf~, thanks for making this tool available!
CueFrog is designed to be multi-instance capable, so you can create as many decks as your machine can handle, and makes use of lots of send/receive ports to simulate some kind of object-oriented encapsulation stuff, based on my (limited) understanding of a model/view/controller paradigm.
grab it: http://stackingdwarves.net/public_stuff/software/CueFrog/CueFrog-0.0.2.tar.g...
it's documented, so you should get it going in no time. i'm sure there are many quirks there, and i found out it's very easy to create race conditions in pd, so no warranties :) comments and suggestions for improvements are most welcome.
i have a vbap-based panning automation in the works (which has already been used live at a theatre festival), but the code is in oh-my-good-tomorrow-is-dress-rehearsal shape, so forgive me for withholding it another month or so.
and before you ask: frogs are cute. and when the director makes me jump, i need tools that jump along :-D
best,
jörn
Hey Jörn,
I just gave this a quick look-over it and appears to be super handy. Probably I will use this on the next show I do instead of the copy of qlab I have that's registered to some theater I worked at once. It's nice to have tools that I can modify for my own needs.
Thanks for sharing!
