That sounds very cool, I look forward to checking it out. I was curious about the scheduler, as my experience (limited) has been that Python is quite frustrating for soft-real time. But the other stuff sounds awesome, and like this could be a great "gateway drug" to CM with other languages. :-)
In obliquely related news, I'm very close to having my interaction with the Max scheduler code doing what I want nicely, so being able to run S7 CM in Max is getting close! iain On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 5:36 PM Taube, Heinrich K <[email protected]> wrote: > > out of curiosity, which features of Common Music are not in there? > > the biggest missing piece is no connection to sndlib.
