Hi all,
after having found the error that made pd crash it's now time to announce a new external:
patcher~ is a 'simulation' of the signal patch field which is used e.g. in the old Synthi AKS.
There's no graphic stuff, one has to send it a message containing numbers which specify where the plugs are. Just imagine the positions on the AKS being numbered from 0 to 255 (from left top to right bottom)...

PS: but be carefull, it eats quite a lot of CPU... ;-(
