I've been working on an implementation of this sort of thing for quite some time. My original work ended up getting off-track and turning into something very similar to pd. Thankfully, I discovered pd, and redirected my energies. Really, this is just going back to an older way of doing things. When the only thing available was an ultra-expensive 4-track tape recorder, you got around the limitations by bouncing 4 tracks to 2 or 1. The downsides were audio degradation and the loss of flexibility. Neither of this disadvantages exist with computer based systems, but all of the advantages do. What I'm envisioning is a system which is based on a hierarchal tree structure, rather than a linear row of faders with buses. I have a sf.net project going (Tinara), but the only thing in CVS is an HTML document called "scratchpad", which is like a huge disorganized notebook with scattered ramblings. The only real reason for the project at this point was to publicly document some of the ideas with a 3rd-party timestamp. Now I see that your message provides some documentation even earlier than mine :) |) |)enji
