and thanks for your reply. I am glad that a higher
level of control is
on the agenda for Tapiir, as I only think it would expand its
functionality immensely.
Note that it has been on the agenda for a loooong time now :-)
But somebody explicitely asking for a feature is always good
impulse!
I am xposting to the PD list, where others might have
a great interest
in this...
I should get on that list anyway.
However, some solutions in PD and its close friends
exist already. I
would advise you to look at netsend [native PD object, udp or tcp
flavors] and OSC [Open Sound Control: cross-platform, 3rd party protocol
for sharing data implemented in CuBase, PD, Max/MSP, Reaktor and
others]. I think espcially OSC would be *very* interesting for Tapiir,
considering how easy it may become to use Linux sound apps under Mac OS
X in the future.
I am not familiar with OSC. netsend might be easier. What kind of input
does it take?
About writing an external PD object: the processing core of tapiir is
really small, and it would be a piece of cake to make an external PD
object out of it. But I suppose that you are especially interested
in keeping the tapiir GUI, right?
