Hi Eni~
I also am curious about Roman's opinion, but I'm glad that you're on board!
Installation was surprisingly simple. I just copied the netpd directory to my normal ~/Pd dir, and edited my .pdrc file for -path and -helppath stuff. After that, it was a snap to grap the stuff from you (luckily you checked the netpd chat before work that morning).
I'm completely blown away by the efficiency of the system at handling all this stuff, especially since it's all written with Pd! I showed my friend a bit of it tonight, and he was equally excited and impressed by the sort of anarchic democracy that exists in the netpd performance world.
As a side question, has anyone ever tried to write all the netpd events to a [textfile]-based sequencer so that they can easily record and replay good moments of jam sessions? It seems like it would be fairly trivial to do this, since all that info is being routed through the server anyway. This could be the making of a total automation engine for Pd!
Anyway, I guess we're all waiting for Roman to be done enjoying his vacation and get back to the screenland to give his thoughts on all of this.
I'm totally digging the energy flying around this idea.

i'm glad you like it. was it hard to install?
if i'd maintain it into cvs first thing i would do is add plain/basic netpd. then i would add some patches to the 2 directories netpd/patches and netpd/abs.
btw. if you disconnect the chat from the netpd server everything works locally. it opens a bridge from [s netpd-broadcast] to [r netpd-receive]
i want to know romans opnion about (netpd)U(Pd-extended)

After playing around a little bit with netpd over the past few days, I think that it would be possible to write a dummy _controller.pd that would allow a user to have the netpd experience without an internet connection. Maybe this could be included with a pd-extended netpd library (as well as the REAL controller) so that users could use the modules for their own purposes beyond the collective jam session.
Also to Eni, Roman and whoever else is involved: I'm totally impressed by netpd guys! This is a very usable piece of software and the community aspect is very welcoming. Keep up the good work!

Hallo!
maybe some chosen patches could be converted to work standalone, but it would be lots of work ... and introduce new bugs. some systems like the fx-library system for the mixer were specially developed that different users can develop effects without touching the mixer itself. somehow that wouldn't make sense in a standalone version.
you don't have to convert them - you could add them as they are, so they would work with netpd and are included in pd-extended ...
But I don't know much about netpd so I migth be wrong ...

yep there was a working patch with qlist. http://www.netpd.org/NetpdPlayer but be aware it records whole patches and abstractions as well. maybe it could [route #N #X] before recording to get rid of the pd-files. the difficult part would be to build a nice score to after edit the recorded data.
Kyle,
I agree with your impression of this "anarchic democracy". These guys were generous enough to let me sit in with them when I was in in Zurich and I was really impressed. They also cooked me dinner. As a relative beginner I had Netpd up and running easily.
cheers to Enrique, Moritz, and Roman

yes maybe but it would bealso nice to keep track of the patches versions. pk
