Ok, where do I sign up? As I said before, if anyone knows of any places I can apply to in order to focus on it full time, I'm interested. I have known of your efforts for a while, but I haven't wanted to commit a small amount of time, I'd rather dive in head first. I don;t want to waste anyone's time telling them I can do this and that knowing full well I won't really end up doing anything. > As for replacing Pd with SuperCollider or C/rtaudio, are you sure that > those are any more efficient?

I can't imagine being able to make anything nearly as efficient as the pd dsp engine. That being said, I wish it wasn't being pummled by the gui. I very much like this idea of a libpd with the engine totally separate. --- Dan Wilcox danomatika.com robotcowboy.com
