That last was a big goal of mine when I started work on MFP [1].
Something like PD, but less multimedia, more quantitative, and can be
inserted as a plugin anywhere that loads plugins. Sort of a swiss-army
knife for audio engineers/musicians/mad scientists who need to put
together a custom bit of signal generation, processing, analysis,
midi/osc mangling, etc.
Unfortunately :) I got a job about 6 months ago and work on MFP has been
at a near-standstill since my LAC presentation. But I have found some
time lately to work on a first pass at running MFP as a LV2 plugin,
which is a key missing piece of technology to enable the "max4live" type
workflow. I'm hopeful I can have a3 loading an editable, 2x2 patch
(with a fixed set of LV2 controls, the patch editor being
out-of-process) in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks,
