i think 2 windows are ok for the purpose..
I talked to
Robert Henke of Ableton about the philosophy behind their
innovative interface, and one of the most interesting concepts was, that
everything *must* fit into one window. Overlapping or popup-windows are
strictly forbidden in Live, because in a live situation you cannot be
bothered with organising windows on the screen.
I *wish* I could figure out a way to do this with ssm. The best way I can
think of is to use window placement code from a window manager to more
intelligently place the module windows, as AudioMulch does. I guess its not
really a solvable problem for a modular, as you can always instance more stuff.
I would really have liked to put the module controls inside the widgets in the
patch builder, and thus only have one window to worry about - but some of the
module windows are just too big, it makes building patches much more difficult.
Any suggestions greatfully recieved :)
same for me..
