Thereby rendering even the simplest of your patches completely useless to me, or anyone else who is a Pd-vanilla fan. I can understand using externals when they are neccessary, such as doing something with weird hardware, or some algorithm that is slow in pure Pd, but I really can't understand using an external in a situation like this. Your choice though, I guess. Myself, I prefer to make my patches as portable as possible to the widest range of Pd users (pd-extenders included). Sorry if I sound grumpy; not getting too much sleep here in Berlin. :) Chris. ------------------- http://mccormick.cx _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
