To get this to work as you expect will require some changes to the code, which I am very happy to make, although I can't do it for a week or so due to other commitments. However, you should be able to launch the FreeverbToo GUI 'manually' and it should 'Just Work'. Basically DSSI GUIs are completely independent applications, which communicate with DSSI hosts via OSC. To test proof-of-concept, you might want to do: dssi~ hexter6 Then from the command line: /usr/local/lib/dssi/hexter6/hexter6_gtk osc.udp://127.0.0.1:17262/dssi/hexter6.so/hexter6/chan00 hexter6.so hexter6 myhexter Replacing /usr/loca/lib/dssi/hexter6 and 127.0.0.1:17262 with your appropriate paths. Then in pd, send to the dssi~ object 'dssi show 1'. You should see the hexter ui and it should work. You could perhaps try the same process with your FreeverToo UI. Let me know how you get on!
